happy new year everyone! so, wow! its 2005. hopefully this year will be better than the last. so at the start of the year i was completely alone, i hope its not a preview of things to come. so adam had the honor of being the first person to talk to me in 2005. ha, some honor. i set off fireworks too close to my head, i couldn't hear for a while. its what i get, but was fun none the less. so for 2005 there are just a few things i want. i would like to not be single. be with a girl who i really can/will love and care about. who i can get along with and talk to. and fit some other criteria i'll post later. i want to bring my grades up. i want to go to states for track and for cross-country i want to be runner up (2nd place) in the division 1 state race. i want to learn latin. i want to get better at piano. i want to get at least one of my pictures published. i want to break school records in track. i hope i do at least some of these.




to the people i care about, please be safe, be smart, and i'll see you guys next year.

so i'm sitting here, alone. its okay. you'd think by the time i'm 17 i wouldn't always be alone on new year's, but alas, here i am again, alone. i'll live. so...

went out to royal oak with jack, claire and keri. that was fun. then keri came over and watched garden state. then i drove her home. played pool with sean and ryan. more video games. now i'm talking to ashley, which makes me smile.

so i just finished some new prints, which are drying. i need new paper, i'm almost out of semi-matte, which is what they want them done in, which is easier for me to hand dye, which is how i do. i'll explain hand dying at another time. going to take pictures with jack, claire and keri tomorrow. should be fun/interesting. so, tonight i did my prints/watched garden state. multi-tasking. i love that movie. made my all time top five. so i was talking to ashley before i went away to do that stuff. came back and she was still online, restarted my computer and she wasn't online anymore, which disapointed me. one of the few people i can actually have a real, rewarding conversation with. the other personis in the bahamas. enjoy. been listening to a lot of new music, thanks to certain people repectivly. thank you eric for showing me daphne loves derby, thank you to jamie for showing me her space holiday. thanks to me for certain other bands that i am too lazy to type out because i am tired and lazy. i should probably try and sleep for a few hours before i get back to work. don't want to make any mistakes. i actually like this kind of work. i have deadlines and i can work at my own pace. gives me time to think.
