New years eve- Subway rides, Public disturbance

SOOO .. here we are again, another NEW years eve, but not only is this the end of another year but it's the end of a decade. woah... i remember living in Fairbanks babysitting my neighbors kids I was almost 11 and TERRIFIED that everything was going to shut off and we would freeze to death. I remember waiting in front of the TV for the ball to drop, i ran into the kitchen to grab something and looked at the stove and it said 12:10.. i thought 'HOLY SHIT we lived.' haha so here we are 10 years later, i'm almost 21 and EXCITED. Now granted i'm NOT 21 yet, but honestly i don't give a shit. The subway is A PENNY all night ( usually 2.25$ a ride) i figure tonight is the best night to get drunk, ride the subway and explore this city ( not to say I wouldn't give anything to go to a club tonight!!) I know people usually have some sort of new years resolution list, or say that they are absolutely going to do something THIS YEAR no matter what... I decided no matter how I feel about something, how timid/afraid I feel, how ridiculous I feel, i'm just going to DO IT ( not that i even know what IT is yet). Like the great ol Lady GaGa has said "I want to make people feel like they have a freak in me they can hang out with", that's my motto now. I know though that I have things that i need to work on, i really take first impressions much to seriously i've noticed, also--- I KNOW that i hold onto grudges for FAR to long and I need to learn how to deal with that. For now, those are my goals, i know they aren't as exciting as losing weight and saving to go on vacation. I might actually be able to accomplish these however haha. I'm down to three days before school starts. I'm not nervous at all, sorted of surprized about that. SOOO.. kids, have fun tonight! DONT drive anywhere- if your in New York P.diddy is paying your way home(f you drink his Ciroc vodka,) IF your in Chicago, join me on the subway!! Happy New Years to everyone.. good luck on everything you plan to do this year, and may good fortune follow you wherever you go. p.s. don't get TOO fucked up tonight:)

PERFECT omelette

Today .. without any help I attempted an omelette . and it came out PERFECT 100% absolutely perfect..I love you Julia Childs.

First Timer

I have to be honest.. this feels kind of stupid. I want to write about my experiences, and remember them. Soooo .. i'm just going to do it. I begin school in 4 days .. oh my god. I've spent the last three years of my life just doing nothing, just wasting time. I think it's weird because i've always known deep down what I wanted to do, and I have a plan. It's the motivation thing, ya know? So, here I go, i'm going to give culinary school my all, i'm going to bust my ass.. and look for ways to improve myself, in more ways than just cooking. I'm excited and nervous, but ready. I'm kind of at a loss for words right now..
I lived in Alaska most of my life, I moved there from Tennessee when i was 8. I was devastated, hated my parents for it. But like most kids do, I got over it. I ended up falling in love with it, and now that i'm away, I appreciate it more. I'm surprized at my self that i'm not more homesick, that I don't have a burning desire to go back. Honestly though, i'm happy that I don't, it's all part of growing up and experiencing life. I moved to Chicago two months ago, two amazingly fast months. It's been a whirlwind, and I can't wait for more. The next SIX months are going to fly by ..
