Happy New Year, 2012 (Not the Movie)

Sooooo...Yeah.  Another year has come and gone.  Honestly, 2011 has been one of the best - and worst - years of my life.  My father turned into a complete asshole and abandoned me and my sister, even getting her kicked out of the house on my graduation night.  GRADUATION NIGHT.  And he didn't even give me anything except $25 for the road - which was really $15.  What an ass, especially since for senior year I pulled my 3.5 GPA to a 4.0 GPA.  Way to support me, Daddy!

But I met Bill, my stepdad.  And he is such a wonderful guy! Mom got married to him, and I found myself crying like a little baby.  Meh, happens all the time, I swear.  But he got deployed, and fell really sick.  First he battled cancer earlier, and then he was sent with severe pneumonia...Only to find out more was wrong.  He had signs of bladder cancer too, but apparently we caught it so early (I would guess in the first week) that it really wasn't anything to worry about.  But still! Such a wonderful man and to get all that happen to him...At least he came back quickly because of the illness!

I completed my first semester of college.  I somehow pulled in a B+ for General Chemistry despite the dick of a teacher I got.  He was just...Poor.  Seriously.  The last 40 questions on the REALLY LONG EXAM I got wrong.  Why?  BECAUSE WE HAD ONE PAGE OF NOTES ON THAT STUFF.  ONE.  And what he gave us was really advanced compared to what he taught us! Hmph.

But now I might not be able to go to college this semester, because they pulled my funding because Mom didn't get something in on time.  Something which, we were getting shipped to us by the IRS.  Yeah.  The government needed something from the government.  We got fucked over.  So now we're waiting for it to go through, but they are taking their SWEET DAMN TIME.  And if I go part-time, I lose the scholarship.  FUCK.  It isn't fair, I don't like it, and this is one of the reasons I have very little faith in the government.

That and the fact they tried to pass SOPA.  Really, guys?



But...I had one of the best Christmas Days I have ever had.  It was Bill's first in a long time, too.  My sister moved up here because there was nothing left in my old town (I moved to New Jersey from Illinois this year.  Can't get a job because of poor economy >.> ).  I got so many presents, I felt like a little kid again.  It was just so...Nice.  I'm spending more time with Bill because he's the father I never had, and the whole battle and chance of losing him made me realize that I wanted memories of him should something happen.  I have a little more faith in God...I'm still not sure if he exists, but my mom is right - so many things have happened that...Were just strange and lucky.  I have to thank Facebook for allowing Mom and Bill to get back together again, and...If they hadn't, he would still have the first cancer and would have died.

I'm so much happier here.  I'll always hold a grudge against my father, and I pity the stepson because he has no idea how...How...EVIL his stepdad is.  There is nothing redeeming about Russ.  Nothing at all.  He is going to die a lonely, bitter man so buried in his lies that he believes they are the truth.  He is going to Hell, no doubt in my mind.


So, while I chase many careers - author, meteorologist, game programmer and animator - I need to get out more and spend more time with my family.



I hope everyone is careful tonight and tomorrow - go easy on the alcohol and have a designated driver! I hope your wishes come true, and chase your dreams! Remember, nothing is impossible if you put your mind to it! And also.  THE WORLD DOES NOT END IN 2012.  The calender is just flipping and starting again, people XD

Although 2012 WAS a good movie.  Twister is still my favorite, though.  Tee hee.
