Hi!
Hi!
Hi!
(Sorry, had to do that, or else it wouldn’t let me post a really long title without covering up the first few lines.)
I really don’t have a reason for writing except that it’s New Year’s Eve. Really, what more reason do you want?
I think all bloggers are obligated to write on New Years.
I won’t be doing anything special. I probably won’t even turn on the TV and watch all the people in Times Square. One of these days I’m actually gonna go there, but for now I’m probably going to spend it my room reading. Maybe I’ll make an extra glass of iced tea. Maybe I’ll actually eat dinner for a change. I’ve been too busy for dinner lately; imagine that. Me, Bridget, too busy to eat a meal. I never had problems with that before.
In a way, I kind of like being this busy. And college will definitely be fun. All I have left for 11th grade is Literature.
All right, I guess here is where things stand, at the end of 2009, in my corner of the world.
1. I just took a five-minute break and came back with dinner – the first one I’ve had in a week. (My mom isn’t to blame for this at all. She calls me, but I never come out.)
2. I haven’t worked on any of my stories for almost two months, I think, and it took me three weeks to read The Man in the Iron Mask, compared to my usual two days for a book that long. (The book was actually kind of disappointing. It wasn’t that interesting, and everyone I liked died, and not even in a heartwrenching manner. They just died. It’s different from the movie. For anyone who hasn’t seen it or read the book, I won’t spoil it. They were both pretty awful if you ask me. The movie was made a lot worse by Leonardo DiCaprio’s long hair. I’ve heard he looks pretty hot in general, but he just looked like a girl there.)
3. Our country is going downhill – and fast. The economy is screwed. Nobody knows what’s happening overseas. Thinking about the healthcare bill makes me feel sick. Ironic, huh? At first, it seemed like nobody wanted it. So how the f*** did it get voted in? (My dad’s gonna get mad about me swearing on my blog. ;-D)
4. I haven’t died yet. Secretly I’m convinced that’s a good thing.
5. I’ve had my permit for almost two months, and I’ve managed to stay on the road, at a great expense to my personal preferences and moral values.
That’s about all I have to say. So Happy New Year, I guess!
