In my absence...

Being my first, genuine post in over a year, I have much to talk about.
But to avoid writing a 300-page autobiography from September 2008 and onward, I'll be posting a 1-3 part installment highlighting a few important changes/moments/events/points in my life since the aforementioned date. Note, that many of these points of interest may not be chronologically ordered, since my mind apparently isn't either. So without further ado, I present to you Part 1.


Seeing that my last post was from September, 2008, I've decided to begin with November (since October seemed to be very uneventful).

November 2008 I think I was in my junior year of high school. I was single at the time, and greatly enjoying it. I feel that it was about that time when I started coming out of my shell, and evolving in to the person I am now. Classes were going great (even my grades), and I even began to teach myself to play guitar. The honeys were plentiful, and even met a few with whom I still maintain a strong contact today.

From that year forward I started developing athletically as well. I joined the track team (but never competed, I simply refused to show up), but I still maintained an athletic disposition. My diet literally quadrupled, and gained about 15 pounds.

Now, fast forward a year (I totally forgot what happened in 2009, except for the fact I became somewhat of a party-animal).

2010
A year, a few missing brain cells, and 10 pounds later.

I turned 18 in January, and after much delay, earned my drivers license 3 days later.
Since then, the world seems to have gotten much smaller. I can now make it from one end of the city, to the other in about 10 minutes flat.

Senior year flew by, of course I spent most of it at the ROC, where I worked closely with only 7 other people for the entire year. We, of course grew close to each other, and being the flirt I am, made things worse. Let's leave it at that.

Aside from that, my post-graduation plans have been foiled at least twice.
An effort to join the US Air Force failed due to "talks" with family.
College is postponed, partly by financial aid, and skyrocketing tuition costs.
As of this moment, the 3rd option is going great, and I'm totally excited for what comes next.

To pass the time however, I've taken up a new hobby. Luthiery.
I've been in the guitar building process since February 2010, with the end in sight. My masterpiece should be completed sometime before I die 80 years from now.

****Post-edit Note****

I've noticed that my writing style has somewhat, if not drastically changed. My witty sarcasm is merely dormant. The lack of mental stimulation has driven me to find...unorthodox solutions for boredom. Expect this frown to turn upside down as soon as I find something interesting to do that makes me feel warm and fuzzy on the inside.
