New Year’s Past

Before 2009 arrives, a look at previous years…

1996-1997:
Happy new year’s eve. I’m going to Jen’s house. We are eating at the Crab Shack. I was off from school.
Happy New Year! It’s 1997
My new year’s resolution is to try to take a shower every day!
I was off from school, but I’m going back tomorrow.

1997-1998:
HAPPY NEW YEAR! On nick and the Big Ball!! Let’s take a look at last year’s New Year:
Last year’s resolution was to take a shower every day! I did that starting in September. This year I have a few resolutions:
#1: eat less candy. #2: Wear my hair in pigtails. #3: Get straight A’s on my report card. #4: Go to bed at the time I should. #5: Keep my room clean. It’s a lot, but I can do it. Well the straight As thing, only counts for mp III and IIII. Stay on the Principal’s list. that’s easier. see ya next year! I can play “Auld Land Syne” on my keyboard. Goodbye 1997! Hello 98!! Happy New Year!!
Happy New Years again. Daddy was off, Grammy came home from Aunt Kathy’s because she wasn’t feeling well.

1998-1999:

Well, it’s still New Year’s Eve.
Less than an hour now. It’s the last year they’ll drop the alynum (I was a great speller, lol) ball. I was serving food to the homeless before. It’s supposed to snow. I hope it does. It will. It’s definitely cold enough, there were some flurries before. See ya in 99!!
hi, it’s like the 26th now. And I think that this will be my last entry till next new years because well, I think that’s a good plan. See ya in the year 2000!!
It’s Febrary 18. I just want to tell you Elissa that Princess’s Birthday is Feb 26th And I started the club on… gotta look that up… March 3rd I think.
It’s June 24th now and no I didn’t loose my other journal. I’m just writing to say happy birthday! I know it was yesterday, but no biggie, right?
I’m in school right now. The last period of the last day of middle school. I really, really hate this place.
It’s December 22nd, 1999. Grammy died yesterday. I didn’t go to school today, I couldn’t. I’m not going tomorrow. Guess I won’t have a very Merry Christmas this year :’(

1999-2000:
We’re gonna party like it’s 1999? Wait, it is! New Years Eve 1999!! A new milenium, well, sorta. We’re going to a prty @ Jen’s house. Let’s take a look at last year’s resolutions:

K, it’s 2002 now!! It’s been a vry interesting night. My parents were late for the party, yeah, I was here before them. And Rachel beat me at Mario Party (though I beat her later on Now she’s serving me (pretend) ice cream and Ethan just gave me a plastic egg, make that two, lol.

2002-2003:
It’s almost 2003, the year I graduate. Eepers. Well let’s see, this year, Big Brother: Lisa won (but we all wish it was Jason), I got into Rutgers, AP Calc and AP Physics, way scary… last year’s res: “This year I wanna keep gettin straight As and I wanna get my license!” : ) for both. Well, almost straight As anyway, minus an 89 in AP Physics… I had a cold for the first test… grr… this year: Try to keep dorm room clean, actually go out for lunch (don’t be a geek), don’t fall victom to Senioritis, erm… think that’s it… see ya next year!
The next day:
Well, Happy New Year everyone! Mesa had lotsa fun at party last night… ‘Twas me, Kristin, Cara, and Rachelle. We watched video from the Halloween party and Andrew running into the pole… twice, lmao, then Austin Powers in Goldmember, Jeckyll and Hyde, Back to the Future!! and begining of The Others. We ate lots, too much, but me hungry, well it’s 12:30 already. So much to do today, wish I didn’t have to go back to school tomorrow, ugg, oh well…

2003-2004:
An hour and a half until Krissy’s party and 8 hours until 2004. This year, I graduated HS, sang at Lincoln center, finished my first semester of college with almost straight As… Big Brother stunk, I can’t even remember who won, lol. Stupid X-Factor. Last year I said I would keep my dorm room clean, actually go out for lunch, and not fall victom to senioritis. Kept them all : ) This year: I want to loose more weight, keep my room at home as organized as it is now, finish my Evil Squirrel script and do something worth blogging about. My life is far too dull…

2004-2005:
Let’s see, what happened this year… I met Ben Browder… I skinned my site… got through data structures with minimal damage to my GPA. Last year was much more impressive…
Last year’s resolution’s: “I want to loose more weight,” ok, did that; “keep my room at home as organized as it is now,” … close enough; “finish my Evil Squirrel script,” again, close enough; and “do something worth blogging about. My life is far too dull…” well, my life is still as dull as it was. Oh well. I went to the farscape con, does that count? No? Oh well.
This year I shall make a new friend at school and try my best to drag myself to the dining hall twice a day no matter how cold it is! No soup for Lissy! And maybe practice driving at some point.

2005-2006:
We got back from Disney yesterday. Went with Rachi and Carolyn. Was a lot of fun. I’m sad to see ‘05 go. Was a good, exciting year. First boyfriend, first kiss, first 4.0 semester average. This past semester really was great. Perfect schedule, easy classes. What else happened this year… got my new tooth, MySpace, prolog is the root of all evil, ooooh Alias finale, Lost, the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants adventure, met Tom and Adi (+Fudge), Seasonale is a God send, and a great New Years party at Krissy’s where I wore my spiffy new outfit! “So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you’ve never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you’ll never get back.” Right now I’m cleaning up my room listening to my new “The Happiest Celebration on Earth” CD : D Me <3 Disney (+ the magic marshmallow smores.) Oh ya, new years res: get a job. 2006-2007: This year I met Bryan <3 And Will didn’t win on Big Brother, Mike did this time. Got straight As again this semester. I finally stopped wearing my retainer. I didn’t get a job, not one that paid money anyway, but I do plan to this year. Got drunk for the first time last night too. That’s not gonna happen again anytime soon. This journal also turned 10 years old. On Passions, Chad is having an affair with a dude, I hope anyway and Theresa is gonna marry Ethan which is driving him crazy (?). Sheridan turned into a bitch and Paloma and Noah are too cute together! Well this was probably the worst New Year’s ever. Apparently alcohol does not agree with me at all. I spent most of my time at the party trying not to throw up. Judez had some good desserts too and I didn’t get to have any : ( ‘Least I don’t feel crappy today. Then I spent this morning crying after getting yelled at since no one bothered to tell me Shawn was spending the day here. We were supposed to go visit my grandpa today. They’re frelling lucky we didn’t. My dad’s still very angry though. 2007-2008: This year I graduated college, with highest honors in CS. I moved in with Bryan and I started work at AT&T. I was doing DBOR test support, going to start programming soon. And my iPod <3 Life is good. Working is so much better than school. And living with Bryan is great. Going to Carolyn’s in a bit for the party. Lost season finale was good. Passions moved to DirectTV. House, Pushing Daisies, Gossip Girl and Heroes are my favs. I hope ‘08 is as good as this year was. The party was at Carolyn’s this year. Rachi couldn’t come, but we still managed to have fun. We ate waaaaay too much food and danced and took many pictures. There was some drama when one of the guests showed up with a bunch of other people, but they all left. 2008-2009: I’m engaged! Bryan proposed in Disney which was an amazing trip btw. Work is great. We have way too much fun. NCD was a great experience and RUBY is OK too. I’m a real programmer now! Wedding planning has been fun so far. CP09 training sucks. I guess the two things even out. We got new phones yesterday. Next year I’ll be rolling my eyes at myself for writing that. I went to Carolyn’s for New Year’s Eve. I drank a lot, but it made it more fun. I ate waaaay too much because Carolyn kept complaining that no one was eating the food and there was a lot of food and I really like eating. We talked a lot about the wedding. I like talking about the wedding, and I’m glad people are excited about it, but I don’t want people to like get sick of me talking about it, lol. It will eventually get annoying, I’m sure. 2009-2010: Last year I complained about CP09. Yeah, it sucked, and I couldn't take vacation this year, but I got free trips to CT and TX, both of which were awesome! And I still love my job, even more than last year because now I actually know what I'm doing. The wedding is only days away. Things are getting pretty crazy. Got my underarms waxed for the first time yesterday, lol. Bryan's dad and stepmom came over yesterday, brought wine and puppies, both of which I enjoyed too much :P We have no plans tonight! Yup, first time ever since I was about 7? I'm not even staying up until midnight because I don't want to screw up my sleep schedule before the wedding, but I told Bryan to wake me up to give me my first ever New Year's kiss :D
