I don’t know what the hell I’m up at 4am. Maybe I’m more retarded than I thought I was. I left Boyfriend’s house early last night and came home to pass out at 9-freaking-pm; I haven’t slept that early in god-knows how long. Not surprisingly, I woke up at 1am and here I am trying to type ever-so-quietly so my dad doesn’t come in to bitch at me; but my fake nails keep on banging on my keyboard no matter how softly I type (note-to-self: get them removed).

Work doesn’t start until 10am but I have no intentions to sleep or else I’ll never wake up (that’s how it always is). I’m going to head to the gym at 7:30am but what the heck should I do until then?

• Clean my room; but that means I’ll have to turn on the lights and my dad will come in. I love him but he likes to lecture me about every little thing. I tried cleaning my room in the dark before (when drunk) and it wasn’t easy. Okay, I wasn’t even cleaning, but just throwing clothes from the floor into the closet so I won’t trip and fall on my face (just in case I had to run to the bathroom to puke). Unlike most people, I fight with my mind to think straight when I’m drunk… even when I’m alone in my room. As idiotic as I was when I was younger, now I simply cannot stand acting like a drunken idiot no matter how good it could feel when you don’t feel like puking your brains out.

• Play Sim City 4; shut up, I just recently started playing this again and like always, going though a phase of Sims-Addiction. Thanks to my current employer, I own every single Sims game and expansion pack but it’s too bad I don’t have time to play any of them so they are just collecting [dust] on my hard drive. But anyway, this I might just do later.

• Go sit in my grandma’s massage chair; but it’s in her room and she’s sleeping. Last time I did that, she woke up and just watched me and I didn’t notice until a while later because the lights were off… and then I discovered a 20+ year old bottle of Keri lotion in her room that she’s had before I was born.

• Read a book; but again, it involves lights! Lover’s cousin and her boyfriend got me a mini-reading light that can clip onto my book as a joke because I had my book with me everywhere I went… but I have no AAA batteries. But I know it will come in use one day because BC Hydro hates our neighbourhood since it’s always prone to blackouts.

• Read blogs; I’ve been doing that but I can’t find any interesting ones to read that I haven’t already.

• Surf forums; already did that but no one is up to post in the middle of the night. :sorry:

• Blog; but I already did that… twice.

• Get a life; or maybe some sleep.

God, I hate Sunday nights and Mondays.

New Years resolutions? Fine I’ll do it since everybody else is.

1. Work out more. It’s funny because this is the first thing that comes to mind every year but has this happened yet? Hell no. Who the hell has time to work out when there are video games to be made and fried chicken to be eaten?

2. Eat less carbs. No, I’m not stupid enough to go on something as unhealthy as the Atkins diet but I will make an effort to cut some of it to keep my grandma company because her doctor ordered her to cut carbs from her diet. Also for my own health of course! My grandma was extremely sad when this happened and I would be too. We’re Asian and we need our freaking rice!

3. Keep my room clean. I use to be the biggest neat-freak where everything needs to be perfect but now I’m just the biggest opposite. My desk is turning into a garbage can piled with shit I don’t even need out (eg. empty bottles of lotion and perfume boxes, my freaking razor (yes, maybe I should put that away), a towel from a soccer game I didn’t even go to (Galaxy vs. White Caps), a pot-holder, cords and USBs for who the hell knows what, etc. etc.). My suitcase from vacation is also still on the floor (along with clothes and purses) and will probably be there till next time I need it which is February. I even dump my books anywhere on my overflowing bookshelf now when it use to be lined up perfectly from tallest to shortest. At least there’s no leftovers and rats anywhere.

4. Freaking take care of my piercings. They still haven’t healed yet because of neglect.

5. Read more books. Everyone should!!

6. Stop bleaching my hair. I don’t really like being blond anymore and I’ve noticed people look down on blonds (even the fake ones). It’s so hard though because black/brown is so boring and reds/purples and other colors are so hard to keep. Watch me bleach my hair again next time I go the salon.

7. Save money!! I have a secret goal that I want to reach my the end of this year… or by my birthday. Nevermind, I still have student loans to pay off. Maybe by 2009.

8. Stop Decrease online shopping time. I swear, if you haven’t started… DON’T!! You WILL regret it.

9. Stop being so uptight. I’m sorry but I can’t help it. I can try but I don’t guarantee anything.

10. Be nicer to people. This one is easy because I don’t go out often.

11. Spend more time with Boyfriend. Well, I don’t know how we can possibly spend MORE time with each other as we are together almost 24/7 except for work, but this one was nice to put up. Now I know that I would’ve kept at least ONE of my resolutions.

In lieu of Friday’s Feast, I will write my review of 2007.

2007 has been the best (and luckiest) year of my life. I finished school with a scholarship and graduated top of my class. I was finally able to support myself 100%. For the first time in over a decade, I did not have any homework or school projects to stress over. I got myself an awesome job with one of the most recognized companies in the world. I love my job and the Boyfriend loves my job. My jobs keeps me skinny because of the free gym. I lied. My job keeps me fat because of the gormet cafeteria and a double-dose of Nutri-V Lemon Green Tea daily (we are in the process of building a wall of it). I’m quickly paying off those student loans. I’m happily giving money back to my parents for all those years they’ve supported me. I renovated my room which is now dark and mysterious pretty (it was suppose to sound dramatic but it didn’t work). I had the right people in my life. I let go of people and unnecessary drama that came with many (actually I never had any drama in my life that was my own; only other people’s). I had my Boyfriend to support and be there for me 24/7. I had everything I wanted (to the point that I couldn’t even think of a real Christmas wishlist). My closet is overflowing with bank-breaking denim and tops yet my parents still won’t give me their closet (no, I don’t want to move out yet). I became more of a spoiled-brat than I already was. I ate good food. I read good books. I got a new Billy Bookcase and filled it up (who doesn’t have one of these?) I didn’t suffer any important losses. I was happy. I HAD FREEDOM (well I always did, but I guess this time it was financial freedom).

If I had one phrase to describe 2007:
I shopped the year away.
