2009

This is the first time in the history of ever that I'm blogging twice in one day. I just released the 'fashion' summary of the decade, went around reading a bunch of sentimental 2009 overviews, and then started feeling in need of writing a sentimental 2009 overview too. So this is what happened in my year:

• I burned some bridges and still kind of regret it
• I realised that the unexpected really was just around the corner
• I denounced Rushh after its horoscope told me I'd found love- and I didn't
• My year-long movie marathon actually kind of happened throughout the year- I probably watched more movies this year than I did in my entire life
• We all became seniors, found out that the white shirts were frightfully transparent, and that you could knock people out of the way with your bag in the corridor and get away with it
• School timetables changed dramatically- I finally broke out of my cycle of having all my classes with exactly the same people, and made friends with people I barely talked to in previous years
• Honourable mention for WENDY (as she mentioned me :) ). We spent every Ancient History lesson talking then copying each others work to catch up, and secretly consulting each other in Mr M's spelling bees, and eating under the table when watching documentaries, and shotgunning the back row, pushing the tables all the way back, and sitting ON the tables when watching movies in the multimedia room.
  
• I turned sweet sixteen and received a 2 year subscription to Frankie WOOHOO
• I discover my passion for Ebay, probably spent over $2000 on that website this year
• We went to camp. We probably contracted rabies or maninjacockel (or however you spell it) from the filthy plates, got our panties stained with mud, skipped showering for a day, passed soap between the shower cubicles, stayed up playing Mariokart, danced crazily at the disco, patted the llama, then collapsed and slept for three days straight after it all.
  
• I got my driver's license four full months after my birthday
• I failed time after time to stop spending money
• I decorated my room twice
• We baked Pacman cookies and cupcakes
• I watched Coco Avant Chanel and it kind of changed my view of everything
• And maybe thanks to Coco Avant Chanel, I lost a little faith in love, and now I don't know if I even believe in it that much. Or at least- that I'd ever find it.
  
• Also thanks to Coco Avant Chanel, I stopped believing in fate and destiny
  
• We all ate and sang and danced and stumbled down the girl's bathroom steps on the Cruise, then limped around the next few days with our feet blistered and our thighs aching
• I helped plan a whole heap of crazy birthdays (this year: Donut themed party (Oroton wallet, mini donuts, donut card), Shroom party (surprise cat named 'Shroom', long Mario mushroom card with a long crude poem and heaps of messages from people), a card with video messages from everyone including a certain hot boy (or should I say man?), a Babushka party (yay babushka card, babushka cake and a babushka ball), and a crazy unthemed party where we stuck charms of a bracelet onto the ceiling and had a hundred cupcakes)
• I threw a Christmas Party where we consumed too much food and did quite little
• I lost my Boxing-Day-Sales virginity and did not enjoy it ONE SINGLE BIT!!
