What the hell just happened? This entire year, 2006, has been very odd. At the end of 2005 Malissa and I broke up; I became a recluse. I dropped out of school, I quit my job, and did nothing. Nothing. At first I had been going to shows with Matt, but that turned out to become too routine and Matt far too much of an ass towards me. It isn't that I don't like seeing my friends in Cedar and St. George, I just got really tired of shit music every week. Quitting my job was a pretty terrible idea, too. No money equals no fun. God, I can't believe how little I did that summer. I never even hung out with my friends. I... can't even fathom how I did so little, but I managed. When school started again I thought everything would be OK. I'll go back to school, start taking things seriously and graduate, go to college, have a good life. School was fun, I liked several of my classes and I had fun hanging out with my friends every day. I even made a new friend, Alexis, who has turned out to be one of, if not the, best friend I have these days... For some reason, though, I just hated being at school. I loved it and hated it at the same time. ODD. So I dropped out. Again. I did get a job this time though, at Arby's. That, my friends... was 2006. Can you think of a worse year? I can easily say it has been the worst, most depressing year of my life. I'm only 18, though. Let's hope I don't have many more years as discouraging as 2006.

The last few days of 2006 have been quite wonderful. Accidentally finding the most perfect spot in St. George to view fireworks at only the perfect time. Having someone who is actually there for you... Yeah... The last few days/week of 2006 have been awfully good.
