Cut: 2009. Now rolling: 2010!
Yet another year has passed with out me asploding or getting into some terrible accident rendering me a vegetable and not being able to take a shit by myself. So, I guess I can't complain about this year... Considering I haven't died. Actually, there are a few hours left... Better not jinx it. Anyway, 2009 went incredibly fast, as has done most of the years I have been in high school. As I face grade 12 next year with academic brilliance and my colossal drama and film knowledge, it should be an eventful year. I guess I should succumb to nostalgia in this particular blog and reflect over the year I've lived through. I could say that I've broken my arm, but as it turns out, it was last year... Although I still manage to receive ridicule from students and teachers about the circumstances... Ugh. Actually, now that I think about it... I don't think I've injured myself on a large scale... My friends might have to help with this one... If not, SCORE! I have delved ever deeper into the arts with topping both my Drama and Film and Television classes, purchasing over 280 DVDs (including TV shows), attending extension acting classes, creating two productions (for school of coarse) and saw the following shows: Billy Elliot, Cats, Chicago, almost every La Boite Theatre Company production including, The White Earth, Blue Love, Pineapple Queen and The Kursk, went to Shakespeare in the park to watch The Tempest on hard ground with out pillows and finally, saw the comedy stylings of both Adam Hills and Tim Minchin (of whom I was able to see twice.) Read Empire magazine, finished the Harry Potter series, (stupidly) read the Twilight series and fallen in love with Pulp Fiction, Where the Wild Things Are, The Coen Brothers, Inglorious Basterds, (500) Days of Summer, The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, District 9, Alien(s) and shitloads more. Oh, not to mention James Cameron and his Pandora spectacular, Avatar. Fell more in love with musical theatre and indie music. Got my learners license and was in the school production of Hating Alison Ashley. Recieved an iPhone much to my dads dismay and marched in my first Same-sex marriage protest. Became a firm agnostic and became angry and ignorant to the concept but loved debating and discussing. And I now love the sixties.
I have never done New Years resolutions before so I guess I'll give it a go.
1. To not get so angry at things. I rage more than I should and am surprised I have not burst a blood vessel.
2. Keep doing well in school and come out on top of FTV and Drama yet again.
3. Start exercising... even if it's just a little bit.
4. Keep reading. The Harry Potter series was great and cannot believe I waited so long.
5. Become of age in the wizarding world with pride and learn spells along with Bronte.
6. Keep loving my friends and continue seeing Nick, Zoe and Izzie outside of school.
7. If my statement of not hurting myself is true, then I also hope that for the new year.

Well, I guess that's all from me at this stage. I hope you have a tumultuous New Year and I'll see you on the other side.
