2008...A year in review

Ahhh its nearly the New Year, and I figured, like last year I would do the Highs and Lows of the year.

2008 has brought with it both good and bad points. All in All it was an alright year, and its going to take one hell of a year to top it.
Lets start with the lows so that we can be happy at the end ^_^
Lows:
January:
Well as many of you may know, thats when my hearing started to turn shit and I was refusing to go to the doctors.
Also the time of the great bad hair scandal:P
February:
(January/February)Denise was admitted to hospital, that was a really scary time:( <3 So glad you're better now though D.
I got a nasty ear infection and seriously infected mastoid gland, that sucked.
Very many dental appointments as I had to have my front tooth cemented into place as they fucked me over on dental work a few years ago >_<
And I missed Tegan and Sara in Dublin cause of my ear:(
May:
I had to get stitches in my arm after that whole scare >_< That sucked, and trying to write for exams was awful.
Getting annoyed with builders for not turning up to do the bathroom.
June:
Broke one of the wing mirrors on my car because of an asshole lorry driver not moving over>_<
Broke my sunglasses :( Rip sunglasses.
Saturday 12th of July 2008, Brian McGonnell died after a nasty battle with cancer. Shelly is like a member of our family and it was awful to see the family go through it <3
My dad chipped a bone in his wrist and lost a chunk of his finger.
and some areshole vandalized my car by breaking both the wing mirrors off>_< Fuckers.
October:
I dislocated my jaw >_<
Really shitty Halloween as everyone canceled on me.
November:
My hate for the Leaving Cert English Course bubbled over.
People canceled on me again ¬_¬
Got messed around by an arse who I'm truly glad to be rid of.
December:
I crashed the car. That was possibly one of the scariest moments of my life. I was going really slow, and I caught the corner wrong and was sent into a skid. I don't think I've ever been so scared.
The fridge pump broke and flooded the kitchen.
My Big Nan got really sick.
My Nan got really sick and still is, I'm really worried :( Shes lost alot of weight and was describing symptoms of a heart attack, I really hope shes getting better.
I got lost in Dundalk for 3 hours and got so annoyed I was nearly crying.
I was completely uninspired for ages. And not motivated in the slightest.
I have a cold.

On top of that we have various amounts of Dental appointments, sickness, bad luck, clumsiness, falling down stairs, bruises, cuts, and god knows what else.

Ok now we're past the depressing stuff time to get to the Happy things:).
