Social convention says to wish folks a happy new year.. So there.

Last year (you know those 365 days that passed 12 hours ago) I will say I was happy. Overall. I had my unhappy days and weeks, but if I have to assess 2009 on a scale of 1 to happy, I think it was pretty effing happy.

Happy moments:
--CY moments (SBX community service day, graduation. No sertiously, these things did make me happy)
--my sister's graduation from culinary school (was totally blown away by her talent)
--my mom buying her house (a long time coming!)
--lots of other random moments that included alcohol and morning-after hangovers

All of that happiness is (mostly) me being happy for someone's achievement. I like to think I've achieved a lot, but its out of necessity or a natural occurence. Graduating, for example, happens because you've fulfilled requirements and someone else has granted you that reward. This year, my happiness shall be derived from personal achievement. I'd like to think it would come from a creative outlet. I want to create art, be inspired. I want to write for all to read, talk for all to listen, entertain for all to...be entertained.

To make a rather selfish statement, I need something that's all about me. I feel like I should be on an episode of Made.

Oh yeah, 2010 is going to be a year for love. No pun intended. Or something. I know I've gone on about not wanting to be married. Well, change of heart. I'm not opposed to the idea too much anymore. In the past month I've dreamt about being proposed to, my engagement party and random day-to-day "here's what I imagine marriage is like" dreams.

Which reminds me, I need to learn how to cook. Ill totally be that wife that the spouses secretly curses about their awful cooking. Ok I can cook, but its like life-or-death cooking. Like if I had a gun to my head and all the shooter wanted was some baked bbq chicken, then fine, I live to see another day. But if that shooter wants something out the confines of food that comes with directions, well then were in trouble.

Ok enough rambling for now. Moral of the story: 2010 is about finding love and being happy. Congrats, I'm like...everyone else. *cue Everybody Hates Chris music*
