New Years

Well, 2007 has come and gone. It doesn't feel any different. It never does. It's weird to see the date as 1/1/08 on my phone though. I had a lot of good times in 2007, but also some bad ones. One that sticks out in my mind is Thanksgiving. Grounded for the slightest mistake. But that was the only time I got grounded... I think. I really can't remember that far back. OH! Another horrible thing that happened... getting my license suspended. I'm still feeling the wrath of that. And I will until April 12th. But at least it's 2008 now. Not too much longer.

But more of the good stuff that happened. Tons of concerts. Good concerts too. Okay, maybe not tons, but you know. I saw John Mayer TWICE this past year. Once in January in Jacksonville, FL with my mom. I got to skip school for two days. Even though our seats were REALLY far away, it was still amazing. John Mayer had his long, shaggy hair then. We had binoculars haha. And I could see those curls in his face. ;-) Then, I saw John Mayer again in August. 5th row that time. It was one of the best concerts ever. Ben Folds opened and was amazing. John Mayer played Covered In Rain, which is one of my favorite songs of his. He also played Slow Dancing In A Burning Room acoustically which was sooooo good!

Then in September, I saw Dave Matthews Band and the Allman Brothers at Piedmont Park. ABB was okay; their set was kind of long. David and I were dying from the heat. We started looking around and saw that there were some funky looking people there, so we started saying who was each other's boyfriend/girlfriend. I guess it's only funny when you are dying of thirst and about to have a heat stroke surrounded by 50,000 other people haha. DMB was SO on it that night. You Might Die Trying gave me chills and The Dreaming Tree was kickass. They played Two Step like 3rd and Will and I were losing it haha. It was crazy awesome. I'm so glad they made a DVD/CD of it. :)

2007 marks my Senior year in high school. It marks my last season of Cross Country. I'm going to miss it. Not for the running aspect, but for my friends on the team. The practices were fun. Also, 2007 marks the end of my marching band career. Finally. I've been in band since 5th grade, and I've marched since the 6th. It's about time for it to be over. And of course, during my last year, we get a new, good director and we finally start getting some respect haha. Oh well, that's life I suppose.

But 2008 is a big year. I'll probably go to more concerts [hopefully]. And I'm going to UGA in the fall. Still searching for a roommate, but that'll get figured out soon [again, hopefully]. I can't wait to get my license back though haha. I miss driving so much. I still have about 103 days left and it's killing me. I bet my friends are so tired of hearing me say, "Can I get a ride?" haha.

Anyway, I've been obsessing over Michael Cera for the past few days. I've always loved him, but since I got Superbad for Christmas, I've re-fallen in love with him. He's SO adorable. :) He's my wallpaper. It's a picture of him playing the geetar. I even thought he was cute back in the Arrested Development days. Back in the days of George-Michael Bluth. I want to see Juno really badly, but stupid Macon doesn't show it. Lame. And I still haven't seen Walk Hard or Sweeney Todd. Every time I make plans with someone to go, they always end up breaking them. Grr. This week, I will see one of them! I saw No Country For Old Men the other day on the computer. GREAT movie. Wow, I digress... back to Michael Cera. He's cute, funny, musical, talented, and young. :-P Man, how pathetic am I?

I bet no one reads this haha. And that's not the point of me writing in this, but still... kinda lonely. I guess I could put a link to this on my FaceBook or my AIM thing. But then I'm kinda uncomfortable with putting my thoughts and feelings out there to people I know. Makes me feel vunerable. But I guess that's the price I pay for putting this on the internet haha. BLAH.

By the way, Apocalypse Now is a great effing movie. Watch it now. But not the extended version. 202 minutes. There are scenes in it that were cut out for a reason. But the rest of it is awesome. PCU with Jeremy Piven is good too. But let's be honest, anything with Jeremy Piven is good.
