Happy New Year, all.

It was only recently that I noticed how much I've changed over the last year. 2009 has been awesome to me... nothing super messed up has happened, no one died, I haven't gotten abducted by aliens, and none of my exes want to kill me. I made no enemies, only friends. And on top of all that, I made my arrival in high school and have survived four months generally unscathed. I think I'd call that a successful year.

But anyway, that's not what I wanted to talk about. What I wanted to do was compare myself now to myself at the beginning of this year. So...

Then:
- Eww, color. Black. <3
- I wanna learn piano omg. <3
- Hair all one color, or a fail with semi-permanent
- No makeup, all natural.
- Jewelry is for noobs.
- Accessories consist of studded bracelets only.
- Converse rip-offs from Airwalk
- Judgmental and critical of ALL THINGS.
- All my writing is structured and is never posted until I'm 100% happy with it.

Now:
- Still mostly into black, but loving other colors, specifically purple and green. <3
- Omg acoustic guitar. <3
- Awesome two-tone blond and copper red hair. Hell yeah.
- Makeup is good in moderation.
- Love jewelry, especially necklaces.
- Bandannas, scarves, hats and gloves please! (still loving studs though.)
- Two pairs of Converse; one from Toronto and one from Mexico. <3
- More laid back, it's all good man. :]
- More free writing and less structure is good.

I am very satisfied with the changes I have made. Life is going well for me as of now, and 2010 is looking good too. Christmas is only a few days away, I'm at the beginning of a steady relationship, my family is all intact and I can't think of how things could be a whole lot better. Time to embrace the new year with open minds and hope for the best. This will be my last entry of this year.

It's been a good one, guys.
2010, here I come!

Yours truly,

- Lexi
