Hello there, bloggetts. So, we're ending the 2000's. And it's not every year that I can say that with such pride. I've gone through everything from moving to preschool to moving again to homeschooling to moving into the attic to middleschool (aka hell) to suicidal thoughts to realizing the pain of death to self-discoverment to writing to art to music to highschool. It's been a hectic, awesome ten years. I remeber the party I went to when I was four to celebrate the new millenia. The start... and now it's 2009 and we've reached the end.
You know what brought this wacko post? I read one of my friend's post on the past years and hopes for the new year. But first the resolutions... the little things I want to do and change about myself for a better me:
THE RESOLUTIONS>>>
1) that I stop being a coward - more active (as is appropriate) in everything, you know, politically, culturally, religiously.. etc.
2) that I spread the peace and love like a creepy hippie :)
3) that I make time for the things and people I love: writing, art, music, design, friends :)
4) and that I might possibly, pretty please, start eating and exercising more healthily!
AND THAT'S IT!
But here, we go...
Large Scale
What word will define the 2000s? Discovery.
What was the most significant political event of the 2000s? The election of Barack Obama, I suppose.
What was the greatest TV series of the 2000s? Something between Castle and NCIS and Criminal Minds and Ugly Betty.
Greatest Tragedy of the 2000s? War, 9/11, abortion.
Most influential person of the decade? um - NO IDEA.
Personal
Of the ten years of the last decade, which one was your favourite? 2009: my happiest, best, most defining year yet.
Which was your least-favourite? 2007. seventh grade = hell.
Was it a life changing decade for you? YES. I grew up in this decade. I'm changing everyday, every second.
Highlight of the 2000s? Traveling, family bonding, friend bonding, love, music, health, memories.
Lowlight of the 2000s? moving (to Pittsburgh - it started out as a low, then ended as a high) and 7th grade where people had to "watch" me a lot...
Are you happier or sadder? happier. I've gone through a lot and made it out alive. Defo changed for the better.
What do you plan to tell your grandchildren about? what I've learned. How life sucks, and, though you may want to die, you need to live for those who love you; that following your dreams is started by taking ONE step - following them is important for life!
The Future
What is your greatest fear for the coming decade, on a global scale? that we will loose our value of life. fresh water. respect for others.
What is your greatest fear on a national scale? the healthcare that will pay for abortions. it isn't right - never will be!
What is your greatest fear on a personal scale? That I'll never be able to go all those places I've wanted to go - that I'll never be able to be the globe trotter, my dream. that my books will never be published... or my art never loved by anyone but my friends...
What is your greatest hope for the coming decade, on a global scale? For some kind of youth revolution. that the youth will realize just how much power we wield and how we can expand and live!
What is your greatest hope on a national scale? that we realize that we have to help our own nation before taking on the world. let's feed the hungry here before we feed the worlds.
What is your greatest hope on a personal scale? Financial stability; college; book publishing and art selling frenzy.
WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR THE NEW YEAR? RESOLUTIONS? HOPES? :D COMMENTOS!
