So Long, 2008.

New Year's Eve. Can you believe it? 2009... I remember celebrating the start of 2000!

I haven't posted in a while... which doesn't really matter because no one reads this, but I'm making it my aim in the new year to update frequently, and also to make more videos too, cos it's fun ^_^

I have mock GCSEs as soon as I get back to school, which isn't good, as I need to learn everything that I should have in the past year and a bit in the next six days. And here I am updating my blog. Typical. I also have a load of coursework to finish, that I just can't finish because I can't do it. But it is the last of the coursework I have to do now, so that's good :)

Christmas was really good, possibly the best I've had actually. I remember when I was little and I said that every year, but this year I really mean it. We didn't do anything that was particularly special, but everyone seemed happy, and there were no arguments or anything. It was great.

I got a yellow ukulele from my sister, which I am now teaching myself to play. It's a nice little instrument, but terrible to tune. It slips out of tune so easily, so anything I try to play sounds terrible. Or maybe that's just my excuse...

I have come to love Doctor Who even more recently. After finally discovering the Doctor Who Magazine, I've been hooked. My friend bought me 'The Time Traveller's Almanac' for Christmas, which basically tells me everything from the Dawn of Time to the End of the Universe (or at least, everything that is included in series 1-4). I love it. It's exactly the kinda book a Doctor Who geek needs. Plus, I now have all the soundtracks from series 1-4. I love Murray Gold's music! Oh dear... this whole paragraph is very fangirly. Ah well, I don't care. I like Doctor Who. So what?

So, now is the time for reflecting on 2008... I hate the word 'reflecting'... I don't know why... Anyway... 2008 was... ok. Stressful, but ok. I discovered my love of musical theatre, which is actually quite a weird thought. Something that has become such an important part of me, my biggest interest, and I only discovered it on 14th February this year. And it doesn't really have anything to do with the fact that that was Valentine's Day, but it's a bit of a coincidence, isn't it?

Anyway, now I am gonna go and play on Guitar Hero. We got a Wii for Christmas, and I'm ashamed to say Guitar Hero is the only thing I've played on it so far. I told myself that I wouldn't like it that much, that playing a real guitar was better, but I have become strangely addicted to it. Oh dear.

Anyway...

Happy New Year!
