A few friends of mine have been begging me to come home. I love my friends dearly and it definitely makes me feel loved and wanted when they do that.
At the same time it makes it 100x harder to stay when I already WANT to go home and then have people asking me to do so.
I looked up flights today just to be curious about how much it would be....
I found two flights that are right after payday in February and one in March that are only 500 bucks.
Thats crazy cheap. It was more expensive for me to go to Thailand!
I don't want to be tempted, but I really am.
I just wish my parents were more supportive of me making that decision if thats what is best for me. They never support me.

Looking back on 2008
I would have to say 2008 was an 'interesting' year.
All years of life are full of their share of ups and downs. 2008 seemed to be full of more than the previous 2.
I guess my 'good luck' was meant to take a dip eventually.
But don't worry... the rock star lifestyle will never end. This is my life and I love every minute of it.
I met some truly amazing people this year that will always be lifelong friends despite the distance that comes between us due to location in this world.
I have lost some friends this year, but I have come to realize that those friends I lost are users and abusers and its just as well that I lost them. I'm better off in the end without them. I can make it on my own.
I have come to appreciate my family more than I have ever in my life. Its shocking how sudden freedom college can bring and also a sudden closeness with family. I'm close with them now because I want to be, not because I have to be. They don't pay for anything anymore, I'm truly on my own, which has enabled me to find my true self and reveal it to them.

--I coached track for the first time ever and coached a hurdler all the way to state for his first time. I feel very accomplished about that even though he did most of the work.
--I graduated from college.
--I got my teaching certificate
--I went on Warped tour
--I went on Mayhem tour
--I lived in a RV and then in a 12 passenger van for the entire summer
--I almost lost a friend who means more to me than most anything in this world because I can be a testy biatch. Thankfully he and I are still golden. I love him more than family.
--I moved to Korea for one year and became a Kindergarten teacher.... thus testing my ability to survive without anyone to fall back on.
--I went to Japan in October
--I went to Thailand for Christmas.
What will 2009 bring??
