A Different Perspective
• Jan. 7, 2008 - So Blank
Okay so, this is kinda just a way of saying, sorry I haven't written in a while, but I don't really have much to say. I haven't gotten to see my grandma yet, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years were all awesome, but the exact same as every year. I got a laptop I've been begging for, for about 4 years this Christmas! Along with A-LOT of other stuff like, a digital camera, clothes from Hollister, money, CD's, DVD's, Sims2, guitar, lots of candy and a bunch more stuff I can't think of right now.
I turn 16 in one month and thirteen days. I don't think I'll do anything much differently than what I do every year. Maybe go to the mall with a couple friends or something. I would really like to have a small party or sleepover, but there's one major problem: My friends absolutely DO NOT get along... which makes everything a lot harder. The friends that I am really close to and are like family to me don't like my old friends that I still talk to sometimes, and I would invite even though we're not as close anymore. So I think this year will be kinda boring too. I'm just happy I get to say I'm 16! lol.
I won't be able to get my driver's license since I'm not in a rush to drive. I don't even have my permit yet. I'm working on it, I'm close, but still got my final test to do. WARNING: NEVER LET YOUR PARENTS SIGN YOU UP FOR AN EXTREMELY BORING CLASS ONLINE! It would be better to test your brains out in one week with pencil and paper, then to worry yourself, put if off, and make excuses for it through a whole year. I never liked online learning, but give me a book I can highlight in and I'm good. =) lol.
So anyways, I don't have huge expectations for this year...I wish I did though. I really, really, really want to get into acting and maybe modeling, but my mom...doesn't get it I guess. She doesn't really try to help, she calls one place(after MONTHS of begging her to) and if that doesn't work out, then that's it. She gives up easily. Me, I stick to certain ideas for a looong time. I'll probably still want this when I'm moved out, and it'll be even harder then. Not having your parents there for you.
If I could do anything and everything I wanted to this year here's what my list would be:
*Volunteer at a homeless shelter.
*Give blood.
*Go to a couple auditions.
*Meet someone famous.
*Go to L.A.
*Go on a missions trip to Bolivia and visit an orphanage.
*Get a job at a daycare.
*Help out a deserving single mom in my church who really needs a car, maybe give a helpful amount towards one for her.
*Have a family reunion, with a bonfire on the beach, the whole nine yards, not expensive just, sentimental, and memorable(my parents don't like extended family that much especially not all at the same time, they're never the ones to take the first step for anything).
*Have a 16th Birthday Party, small would be GREAT! Big...well that would be a MIRACLE.....
*Meet the someone that I'll spend the rest of my life with and fall in love...hahaha...yeah right like that's ever gonna happen. Seriously, I mean not EVER.
*Get a really great, dependable, likable, Christian best friend, who will always be there, that I have stuff in common with.
*Help out as many people as is physically possible.
*Put all my most important thoughts that I want my grandchildren's grandchildren to remember into a book.
*Make a difference.
If I die young, which I realize is not impossible(I'm not that naive), I don't want to be remembered as a nice teenager who volunteered and babysat. I want to be somebody. I guess that's a quest all humans have been set on finding since the beginning, wanting their life to of meant some thing....something great, discovering a cure for cancer...or being the first female or member of your race to do something important. Maybe that's why there are so many people in World Record books every year. They are so desperate to be remembered by the world, that they are willing to do whatever they can to be recognized, bu the only thing is, someone might read that book through once or twice. Your forgotten about a couple weeks later. That's not who I want to be. Hmmm.........who said children aren't capable of thought, decision making, and/or consequence processing, at the same level as an adult? You know, that makes us feel like underdeveloped animals.. Say what you will, but I've heard more morals, intelligence, sincerity, understanding, and logic come from the mouths of many five year olds than most of the adults I've ever talked to.
I think once you get to a certain age you lose the wonder and insight you once had, and you don't really even care anymore.
Anyway, thank you so much for reading, and congratulations if you have had the patience to get this far! Love Y'all as always! Have a great year and I'll try to write again soon...whenever something interesting happens lol. MWUAH! <333
