Happy New Years

So it's new years eve; another year come and gone. 2009 has been a decent year... one of the better yet. But all i can hope is that next year, 2010 will be even better. Better relationships, senior prom, graduation, college and a fresh start. Truthfully, I can't wait. Just in six hours time from now, I will be entering one of the best years of my life so far. The possibilities never seemed so endless for the new year. Always I felt tied down to some thing that made it impossible to enjoy the new year, but this time 'round, I feel like I am finally walking through a huge open door. Maybe it's because in 2010, the boy I like is going to ask me out. (I'll go into that in a bit) But even beyond that, I just feel like this year is going to be an excellent one.

I can't believe a year ago I got addicted to youtube. On January 1st, 2009, my younger sister introduced me to the world of vlogging. The channel that got me into the culture? Charlieissocoollike. If you guys don't know who he is, I'd really suggest checking him out. He's hallarious and really creative, and let's be honest, cute. =) Soon after I started watching Charlie, I had the passion to learn how to solve a rubix cube, so I came across the channel pogobat, and fell in love. I'm pretty sure that I might sort of have a fangirl crush on Dan Brown. (Dan, if I'm ever so lucky to have you read this, I swear I'm not one of those crazy stalker fangirls) And for a while pogobat was my favorite channel. Sure I loved other channels as well, such as nerimon and shane dawson, but it wasn't until a few months ago that I started watching what has come to pass up my love of Dan Brown. (Don't worry, Dan. I still love you =P) And that channel is VlogBrothers. No joke, they have changed my life. And I am ever so grateful to them for that. Not to mention that I realized the kind of guy I would love to marry would be the same goofiness as Hank. I'm not saying that I wouldn't be happy with someone not like that, but I could easily see myself with that type of guy. I know it's kind of gross, being that I'm 17, basing the guy I want to marry off a grown adult. I guess the only thing I can say to make it not creepy is that I don't actually want to marry Hank...(yes I know he's married anyway...but still.)

So Christmas. How was everyone's Christmas? I enjoyed mine. I received an itouch, a borders gift card (which as already been spent), and a few other knicknacks. My family continued with its usual tradition of spending Christmas Day watching movies we got from Santa. This year, we got Harry Potter 6, that new Tinkerbell movie, Star Trek, Up!, and one other movie that I cant remember. It's always a fun day. But laying around all day makes me tired, and so I ended up going to sleep around 9, dead tired.
The day before, I went to my best friend, Kate's house and exchanged presents. She gave me a skirt and blouse for my renaissance costume, while I gave her a Bullet For My Valentine poster. But what was funny when I was there was we were decorating her second tree (the rich freaks have two trees...weird) and it was all disney characters as ornaments. And apparently its not a good idea to put all the ornaments on one side of the tree because it might fall over... on top of an unexpecting decorator...aka...me. Yes. That was the second time a Christmas Tree has fallen on me. The first time was in the middle of the night and I thought I had gone blind and was disoriented and thought I was on the other side of it and knocked it over. Turns out I HAD gone blind for that short time. My mom had shined a flashlight in my eyes and I couldn't see it. Crazy. One of the most scariest times in my life. I would rather be deaf than blind, so being blind freaked me out.

So about this boy I mentioned earlier.... yeahh... I met him last spring at a spring break party thing at my friend from youth group's house (so before you start freaking out, it was a dry party. I'm sure not everyone got the whole 'youth group' friend part-no alcohol) His name is Bryan. And if you don't like gushy feeling stuff, I totally understand if you skip over this part of the blog. So I met Bryan at this party, but we never really talked. I friended him on facebook, but we never talked. Then during the summer, I commented on a particularly gorey picture of his and we started talking, but nothing too serious. Sure I started to get a crush, but I realized it wasn't going anywhere, so I ignored it. And life went on. Every once in a while we'd talk and flirt, but really it didn't mean anything and we both knew it. But then just over a month ago, he texts me telling me that he likes me and he really wants to kiss me and stuff. I was totally taken aback. He had told me on more than one occasion that he didn't like me like that, just as a friend. And there he goes and admits that to me. But truthfully, I had been ignoring the fact that I liked him, so as not to get hurt. But once that door opened, I felt like those feelings were bubbling up to the surface. And so we really started talking. And then I surprised him at his choir thing, and then invited him to my band concert and to the diner afterwards, and then we went to see Avatar kind of as a group date, minus the date on the group part. And then just last night we went on our first actual date one on one. We went ice skating. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
To be honest, this is my first relationship. It's not something I really like to go around bragging about, but its true. And somehow he managed to worm it out of me. So he was determined to make my first kiss perfect. But then we go to the movies and end up kissing there. It wasn't 'perfect' but I still thought it was amazing. I enjoyed it. But then he goes and tells me... he says 'Don't worry. I'll ask you out soon enough.' And at first I was very happy about that fact. And yeah, I still am, but soon after he said that, I wondered why would he tell me? I mean, if he's going to tell me, why not now? And then we were texting later that day, and he told me he was going to ask me out in 2010, and that it was going to be a surprise. -.-' What is the point in telling me that it's going to be a surprise that he's going to ask me out? I mean really, it kind of contradicts itself. Whatever he must have his reasons. I'll just play it out as it does.

So everyone have a good new year! I'm going to a party now to bring in the new year. Should be fun. Hope you're all enjoying your holiday season!
