End of 2011

As of now, it's December 31st. Even though this post was started at around midnight, the post's date will still show up as the 30th. Nyeh. Something like this happened last year too for my New Year's post, making the date show up as December 31st even though it was past 12 am, January 1st. XD Anyways..

I don't know if I should feel relieved or sad that a year like 2011 is ending. So many things have happened this year. I've definitely made some good memories, of course with some painful or annoying memories mixed in every now and then. Those are some things people can never avoid completely though, so it's fine. My favorite memory of the year has to be when I got Shiro. I still can't decide on my worst memory.

Reflecting on this past year I realize that although I tried to succeed at first, I failed the two resolutions I decided on last December 31st. Maybe they were unreasonable resolutions considering my personality and the habits I've had for years. This time I'll try to make more reasonable resolutions.. but at the same time I wont forget about my procrastination resolution. I really need to get rid of my habit of procrastinating or who knows how badly I'll do in college. =_=; So~

Resolution 1: Learn to play guitar and bass
I got Rocksmith for Christmas this year with the guitar and everything, so I'm hoping to learn to play it well by the end of the year. And hopefully in music class at school I'll learn to play the bass well too~!

Resolution 2: Become more focused in anything related to school
It seems that something may have depressed me somehow either last year or this year. I didn't notice my slight depression until a very observant friend, and then my mother, pointed out the possibility to me. Because of that slight depression, (I still don't know the cause of it) I've been slacking off in school and procrastinating more than usual.. Or rather, more than I should be allowed to. I've been told that Junior-year is the most important year in high school but it's the year that I've gotten the worst grades in all my life. I hope by the end of this year I overcome that and become a lot more focused on schoolwork.

Resolution 3: Be less negative/More positive~!

I had been blaming school for how negative I've become toward a lot of things, or even life itself. It's most likely that depression I mentioned earlier, but anyway.. My third resolution is to think of everything in a more positive way so that my negative thoughts don't turn into something more serious. =_=;

Resolution 4: To make this year the best year of my life so far.

In a reasonable way. Not in a stupidly reckless way. I'm gonna work twice as hard to make more happy memories so that instead of seeing every passing year as worse than the prior one, I'll see this year as the best one in a long time.

Resolution 5: Stop Procrastinating.
'Nuff said. I have nothing more to say about this one since I'll probably fail it again-- ah, wait. But that's being negative.. =.=; I'll still try!

I wonder if I'll accomplish any of my resolutions this time.
With this post, I bid you farewell 2011. Happy New Year 2012 everyone~!

15 Day Challenge: Day 13, 14, and 15.

Because if I drag this on any longer or don't finish this eventually, this is gonna haunt me somehow...
I'll post the remaining 3 'days' in one since they're so short. I probably should have combined everything since Day 11. xD

3 Ways To Make You Cry

1. Hurt an animal in front of me. (Example: Kick a puppy)

2. Shove an onion in my face / poke me in the eyes.

3. Seriously hurt my feelings.

LOLWHUT
It's actually not very easy to make cry anymore ._.

2 Ways To Win Your Heart
1. Respect? Don't disrespect me in public. That's not cool, it's embarrassing more than anything. D: (LolDomesticEmotionalViolencewhut) So basically if you can acknowledge my existence as an actual human being,.. yeah ;3

2. You'd have to like me for my personality more than anything, not just because of my face or my physical appearance or whatever.

..But I don't actually think my appearance would play a part in any of that really, because of my self esteem and all that jazz xD

1 Thing You Need To Say

1. ...The most epic way to die would be to spontaneously combust, so I think that's the way I want to die. xD

15 Day Challenge: Day 12

4 Bad Things About You

1. I don't necessarily act like a mature human being most of the time.

2. I'm a procrastinator.

4. I get distracted by other things easily.

15 Day Challenge: Day 11

5 Good Things About You

1. Even if I procrastinate to the last minute, I still manage to get all my work done somehow. If not on time, then eventually

2. I can multitask.

3. I can cook/bake stuff and not food-poison someone in the process, I guess. Still waiting for that to happen.

4. I don't get easily annoyed by most people.

5. I work well under pressure and best when I've barely had any sleep. (I'm just weird like that -_-;)

Christmas Again~?

With the start of December, Most people started putting up their Christmas trees. Most people have already put up decorations to prepare for the upcoming holidays. Most people are looking forward to the presents they'll be getting at the end of the month.

I, on the other hand, am only anticipating my extra hours of sleep, and the time away from school, that comes with my week of Christmas break. All I'm asking for is to have more that 3 hours of sleep per day. I have absolutely no motivation left to do anything school related.

But anyways, since we were on the topic of 'wanting things for Christmas', ... What are you looking forward to getting this Christmas? It's most likely a material object rather than sleep, huh? But no matter what you're asking for this year, remember to be grateful for whatever you get. Someone out there worked hard to save up the money to buy what they got you. Or, in cases like mine, What you get may only be temporary. So appreciate it while you can.
..Vacation-Sleep is only temporary.
How depressing.

..I remember when I used to think Christmas was free-toy-day as a little kid~. I used to believe in Santa and everything. My tiny dreams were crushed when I was in third or fourth grade though... I honestly thought my mom was lying to me when she told me the truth, That's how much I believed in it. xD But even after I realized she wasn't lying to me, it's been a 'tradition' of sorts, to bake cookies for Santa like before. (Santa, meaning Dad. lawl)

This year, with Shiro joining the family, Christmas might be a little different. It's his first Christmas, so he's confused about the Christmas tree in the house. And the Christmas decorations he sees outside all over the place whenever we go out for walks. The "sniff-sniff-what's-that?-Can-I eat-it-or-pee-on-it" kind of confused.
 I think I'm gonna get him one of those treat/toy stocking bag thingies from Petco too, so he doesn't miss out on the presents. xD

The other day we got him a doggy Santa suit, so I'll post a pic of him wearing it when it's Christmas.
