it isn't like 365 days have made any difference. i still feel the flutter of your name and i still love you, too deeply... ...but i do think that, by now, i have enough love to let myself love other people as well.

Here's what the world is coming to, folks. Heard of the SOPA bill? No?? Well you should know about it. It may or may not change the internet forever. Click here and feel instantly outraged.

I'm feelin the love, people. I'm really feelin the love. And it's as good as it gets. Merry Christmas, all of my dears. Love is all you need. xxx

good lord....i wish there was a way to make everybody happy. i'd just snap my fingers and everybody would stop being stressed and angry and confused. i hate it when others are distraught, i feel clueless as to how to react. it just makes me want to curl up in my bed and go to sleep.

O my mother country, I cannot say how much I have missed you!!!!!!!! =D

You bring the most wonderful feelings. I wish you would never end. Keep shining on me, winter sun....

My italics are now all messed up!! stupid html, nooo...

Wow, its hard to imagine another year has flown by..but then again, much has happened since my last birthday. It's been a truly wonderful year...perhaps the best year since I was 9! I've become so much more rounded out and experienced, mostly thanks to a tumultuous relationship that didn't survive per se but taught me many valuable things. Also, I can thank my friends for being so kind and brutally honest with me. I needed them this year more than ever, and they were there for me on the whole. I'm almost afraid that this next year will seem sad, boring and stressful in comparison..but I'm preparing for the worst and hoping for the best =) I am enjoying these last few hours of being young and relatively carefree; not that things will change overnight, but it is a symbolic transmission from one step to the next. The advice I would give someone after living through this past year is (at the risk of sounding terribly trite, but it's only too true): Mistakes happen. They are part of learning and becoming a better person. Don't be afraid to make decisions, for they are what set you on the path to an experienced future. There is something wonderful to be learned from every mistake. Tomorrow will be a highly philosophical birthday. I'll be partying after all my exams are over....so, bring it on, life!!! I'm ready fer ya! ~this singin Irish gypsy
