Goodbye 2008...

HELLO 2009!

2008, I'm not saying you were a bad year because we definitely had our good times...
I Remember at the beginning of our relationship I was a stupid 16 year old who thought she was cooler than she actually was. -_- Remember?

I quickly turned 17 which made my life a little better. I could now legally drive my friends around and drive past the hours of 11pm and 5am. I was given a lot more freedom during you, 2008.
I became more driven in my schoolwork for sure, and while others were struggling with juggling everything, I became a pro. I gained more confidence with you, 2008. In late January, I began making videos on the popular video sharing website known as YouTube. I went to the San Francisco gathering in February with Claire-Bear and we had a blast. I didn't know what you had in store for me. But, 2008, you sure knew. You knew that I would make incredible friends from all around the world. Friends that, beginning in the summer, I would talk to daily.

2008, you also took some of my friends away... In June, Sarah, Sireesha, Cassie and Jorge all graduated from high school. They were some of my best friends I could ever have had. So come August, Sarah and Sireesha left for San Diego, Cassie for San Francisco and Jorge for New York. 2008, you took my best friends away from me so that I could only see them during the summer and winter holidays.

And 2008, my brother is another one of those, except he is gone until next August. So it's not just your fault, 2008, don't worry. I am happy that he is living it up in Argentina though, and possibly some other South American countries while he's down there.

I had some incredible opportunities because of you, 2008. I was able to go to Boston for 2 weeks to study at Boston University and meet a ton of amazing people from all over the world. I had a tremendously good time and now I have a heap of contacts in Puerto Rico. :P
I got to go to Warped Tour and see some of my favorite bands ever. I got to meet The Academy Is... and Cobra Starship. I just about died of excitement.
I had the opportunity to go to YouTube Live in November. I met some of my favorite YouTubers and got to see some pretty sweet acts live.

I realized that even when the economy is in crap mode, that I can have a great Christmas. Just spending it with friends and family just hanging out and having a good time.

By the way 2008, you produced some awesome movies as well. Wall-E was the movie I saw with my brother the day before he left for Argentina. That just makes it 100 times better than it already was. Australia made my life complete; I cried, I laughed, I was disgusted, so many emotions in one movie. Benjamin Button was done so well that it made me cry so much towards the end. Mamma Mia! was definitely the feel good movie of the year. Twilight sucked though, 2008, fix that.

You changed my life, 2008. Not as much as 2009 will, but you did significantly change it in all these ways. Each day you made a small change and I don't think I have an regrets from this year. I do remember the moment I found out I had been accepted into Indiana University and University of Nebraska. I literally cried because I was going to college for sure. That was the life changing moment I'll remember from you, 2008.

Thanks from the bottom of my heart, 2008. You did well for yourself this year. (Just don't get me started on the "hit music" from you. It sucked KTHNXBAI.)

I'll post about what is upcoming in 2009 tomorrow.
Have a Happy New Year!

My Skype Contacts.

This is a list of my skype contacts. However, there is a catch. Their names/ usernames are not shown, rather a sentence of how I feel about them or something that reminds me of them is written. Also, currently I have 94 skype contacts, therefore I won't be writing about all of them. Just the ones I feel are important enough to get out into writing.

1-- I have been one of your fans since I began making videos last January and I can't believe you're only a Sophomore.
2--You were one of my first skype contacts and I think I met you through stickam.
3--You seem like an amazing person and I can't wait to get to know you better soon; ya'know being an invader on survivoryt and all.
4--I just watched your video right before I made this post and I think you're a hilarious drunk.
5--HATE IS A STRONG WORD, BUT I REALLY REALLY REALLY DON'T LIKE YOU.
6--You seems sweet, but I've never really chatted with you; the only time I did, you were hungover.
7--I LOVE YOU SO FREAKING MUCH my SportyFEF! <3
8--You, sir, are something else entirely; everytime you smacked me on the head it made me laugh so hard.
9--You are my favorite male ginger, this is true; you're amaingly silly as well.
10--I remember when I first heard about you, Rache had said that there was some kid that said he was going to my school next year and it creeped me out, but you're not that creepy in reality, ily my freshman!
11--Hi Mom, hi Dad.
12--You're a little too fangirlish for me.
13--You seem nice enough.
14--Your English Chavness is hilarious, yeah.
15--When I see you come online I squeal. You can ask anyone who has been in a call with me when you sign on; I love you little Pom!
16--I love your suave Brazilian accent.
17--Hey bro, how's Argentina?
18--You have gotten creepy; I mean you're 10 years older than I am, something is wrong with that.
19--You never cease to annoy me, but that again you can be a really sweetheart and NO, I'M LIKE NOT LIKE A VALLEY LIKE GIRL.
20--I haven't talked to you in a while which makes me sad; it makes me miss your deep sensual voice *giggle*.
21--I can't flippin' believe I have you as a skype contact; I freakin' fangirl soooo much AND I've actually talked to you! *SQUEEEE*
22--I wish you weren't in the Austrian timezone permanently, because we don't get to talk often.
23--You have been one of my best friends since we went to Australia together, I love you, and thanks for being my IRL YouTube buddy.
24--You're such a sweet talker, you're worse than Simon in the sweet talking department.
25--I love you my little New Zealand Kitty.
26--I sort of wish you never got that job at McDonalds because that means you're never on skype anymore and I can't talk to you that often; I love talking to you.
27--I haven't talked to you in ages, so when your computer is fixed, get on skype girl!
28--You're new to YouTube and the NZ community, but you're ever so sweet and you have a brilliant singing voice!
29--I remember, I was your 200th sunscriber, now look at you.
30--My little dancing kiwi, you're an amazing Balloono player.
31--YOU ARE GETTING A PARAGRAPH ALL IN CAPS BECAUSE I LOVE YOU THAT MUCH. YOU ARE THE REASON I HAVE ALL THESE AMAZING FRIENDS IN THE FIRST PLACE. WITHOUT YOU I WOULDN'T ALMOST BE APART OF THE NZ YOUTUBE COMMUNITY THE WAY I AM NOW AND I KNOW, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE. WE TALKED ABOUT TWILIGHT AND YT CRUSHES AND FANGIRLING AT FIRST, BUT NOW I SWEAR I COULD TELL YOU ANYTHING. I CONSIDER YOU MY BEST YOUTUBE FRIEND, EVEN IF YOU DON'T CONSIDER ME, YOUR'S. I LOVE YOU LOTS AND LOTS!!! FEF FO LYFE!
32--You're so sweet to me, I wish more people liked you.
33--You're nice enough, I guess.
34--I feel like I'm losing you, like we're losing you; it used to be the three of us all the time, but now I think you'e moved on.
35--You happen to be the most compassionate person I know; you're always thinking of others and so full of emotion.
36--My PoshFEF in da house! I love talking to you so much, you're always so excited and I love hearing your stories.
37--Peeps, Poptarts, Peeps, Poptarts, Peeps: your heart!
38--Two days ago Corey added you to a call and it just might have been the most awkward call I've ever been in because I used to be a self-proclaimed fangirl of you and as of late, I've had to tone that down.
39--I miss you, you and your Earl Grey tea drinking ways.
40--ANCHETAAAAAAA!
41--Thank you so much for being my go to guy for all this crazy Computer and technology stuff, ily!
42--I haven't talked to you in a crazy long time, how's IB and Portugal?
43--Blame Canada, eh?
44--I miss you too, get on skype, yo fo realz.
45--I wish I talked to you more because I love your videos and I think we could be really good friends.
46--You are one silly guy; enough with the shots!
47--I love you because you are funny, quirky, and just all around a tremendously good person.
48--Your name makes me laugh when you sign on because it sounds like my computer is saying vagina.
49--I could consider you one of my best friends on youtube as well, I just don't know if you'd ever consider me the same.
50--You're odd.
51--You're no leprechaun, you're not from Ireland, you're right Welsh and have such an adorable accent I could eat it up.
52--I thought it was so crazy when I found out we lived in the same city, you being all popular and stuff, and me just being, well me...
53--I feel like we have an odd relationship because I used to be such a fangirl and I think you knew it, so I think you felt awkward for a while and then you realized I wasn't acting fangirlish, so you didn't mind me anymore... idk.
54--I FREAKING LOVE YOU GINGERFEF!!! I need to go down and visit you soooooooon, leik SRSLY.
55--You're in Modesto right now.
56--You are so humble it's crazy, I mean you have a crapload of subscribers yet you don't let it get to you and you talk to the "lowly" people like me.

So I did end up skipping a lot of people, but those are the ones I don't talk to, or I was told to add them in my contacts so that I could add them to a conference call that they were in for all of 5 minutes. Anyway, I noticed that I need to do a crap load of sifting through my skype contact list to get rid of those people.

I'm actually writing for a change...

So, I need to write in this more often. I think the reason I stopped is because it took too much time and effort to figure out how to use blogger.
I used to write daily on my Xanga blog but I stopped during Spring break of this year and never started again. I kind of miss that. I occasionally go back and read my old posts and I'm reminded of what a dork I was and still am. I mean, no kidding, I wrote daily in my Xanga for 2 whole years and then just suddenly stopped. I think I just got lazy. YouTube became a priority and no one used Xanga anymore anyway. I mean, how many of you redaing this (if anyone is reading this at all) have heard of Xanga? Yeah, I didn't think so...

I promised myself that I would go to sleep before midnight tonight because I'm going to Oakland tomorrow, but that didn't happen. I'm still awake and fully dressed and sitting in front of my computer at 12:30. I'm talking to David; he hasn't been on the computer in ages, so that is nice. And Denise just went to bed because I told her she has to be alert for work so that she can get money to go visit New Zealand with me. Wait, I need money too. *fail*

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I mean, I'm so lazy when it comes to writing, especially because I kept forgetting the password to this blog. I will remember it now. I think. Oh crap, I alreday forgot it... *fail again*

Oh, and for those of you who don't know already, I got an iPod Touch for Christmas. Thought I'd brag a little more in textual form. And I'm going to Washington D.C. for the inauguration of Barack Obama. BUT, that's when all my NZ friends will be in Wellington with Rob and I'm going to be insanely jealous. If you're reading this, WE MUST TALK WHILE YOU'RE ALL TOGETHER, KTHNXBAI. <3
