Last night was easily one of the best nights of my life. G and I pulled an all-nighter at the beach, sitting at the breakwaters, armed with Redbull, my ipod filled with kickass music, speakers, and a six year friendship that's been the better part of the decade we spent growing up. My phone died earlier in the night and around five in the morning the weather got insane, we screamed with laughter whilst freezing our butts off and talking about how we were gonna die in the storm. We didn't catch the sunrise because of the rain. I tried hiding from my mother on the way home. My father asked if I had been out all night ("No, Dad, I was in hall"), I smelled of sea salt and smoke and hope and dreams, and we counted our blessings on the stars scattered across a vast sky the colour of ink. We're here. We're alive.



Stay up all night and sleep all day
We were smart kids with too much to say
And we were so, so sure that they were missing out
They're the ones who were missing out

We were elemental, talked down to bare essentials.
Who knew we'd get so far? (Who knew we'd get so far?)

Cause our days were numbered by nights on too many rooftops
They said we're wasting our lives,
But oh at least we know, that if we die - we've lived with passion
They said we'd burn so bright
We'd burn this city and go

I didn't want to write this but since I can't shake off this horrible ominous feeling and since I can't sleep (I used to think my sleeping habits were bad.... Generally they have gotten worse. I am three parts caffeine and one part pure awesome.) I'm gonna write some things in hopes I go to sleep well and happy.

09 was basically an insane year, so many things changed & happened. Events I will always remember - teaching, G's birthday, my birthday, results, posting, camp(s), KR, university, friends, friends, friends, friends.

I learned a new language (I spent my time conjuring up insulting sentences/generally hilarious ones that had nothing to do with anything and certainly didn't help in my exams. Besides, deine mutter ist so fett dass sie ihre klamotten auf der straße bügelt.) I didn't do particularly well in school (but when have I ever?) and I laid down on a roof to look up at the sky for four hours to see a meteor shower. I cried the hardest in my life during a particular period where I felt so helpless and guilty and lost. I laughed so ridiculously hard on so many occasions and every single time I remember thinking how good it was to be alive. This year I healed a little more. Fell on my ass and got right back up again. Rolled with life's punches. Believed.

I hope 2010 will be just as, if not more, amazing than the last. I grew so much as a person, but I guess the year warranted that. In three months I turn 20. Happy new year everybody. May your lives be blessed and beautiful. We live and we learn and we love x
