Dear 2012, So Far, We're Not Friends.


The uncertainty of tomorrow and the disillusion of yesterday actually happening seems to be in full swing.  On Wednesday I googled how fast the earth was spinning, with the irrational theory typed into my keyboard that I could actually feel its rotation, and that scientists were baffled and scrambling for answers as to why it's rotating faster then usual. Alas google had proven one thing, the earth continues to spin and I'm tired.  Like exhausted.

I know one thing for certain, if you ask.. you receive.  And nothing will cause your world to stop quite as quickly as someone crashing into you, via their vehicle.

Blah, blah, blah.
  
Dear 2012, so far.. uhm.. we're not friends.  We aren't enemies yet, but you're on the list.  And yeah, you can talk to years.  

This week alone, I have worn my underwear inside out, twice. Twice.



P.S. if any of you watch the tv show Parenthood, you should probably tell me.
This weeks episode was far more traumatizing then the car accident.

CAR ACCIDENT?!?!? stop and explain. are you okay?!!??!

i used to watch parenthood. like all the time. like addicted. i haven't had time for television anymore. i want a parenthood marathon with you.

(insert flute version of 20th century fox theme.) it's basically the theme song of my life.

Kare said...

um, woah! car accidents are not allowed. me and 2012 are going to have words... i hope things start looking up quickly!

Devon @ TheMermaidChronicles said...

On the upside, I loved your writing and I watch the Parenthood. Yes, very traumatizing episode!

Liesl said...

Hope you are okay after the accident and with everything else too! Sorry that 2012 and you haven't been singing, hand in hand, so to speak, but I have a feeling that wonderful things are ahead for you! Great song by The Fray too! Keep your head up! :)

Adam, Julianne, & Michael said...

mmmm I think we all want to know what happened with the car accident dearest loveface!

Miken said...

nothing like a car accident to put things into perspective. look at it positively... YOU are ok. you are safe. one time i saw a guy crash into the median at about 3 am... i pulled over to help and he was so upset his car was ruined... i pointed out to him that HE was ok and that everything was going to be ok.

as far as the underwear... that seems to be a personal problem. :)

shaylynn... 2012 will be what you make of it! make it a good year! which means coming to see me! we'll go to chuckarama... mmmmmmmm.

SimplyHeather said...

I'm not getting along with 2012 right now - let's hope it gets better! I'm sorry you got in a car accident and whatever traumatizing event that happened this week :(

Monica's Notebook said...

Girl! Car accident?! Hope it wasnt too bad! This year will get better! :] Me and 2011 were not friends at all.

Jamie said...

I agree. 2012 is on thin ice.

Kristie Colón said...

2012 and i had a talk. it makes no promises, but after i laid into him like he was the unicef man, well, there were tears and apologizes and a "maybe we can start fresh in march."

2012, if you mess with my spring and all my "new beginnings" shit i'm gonna egg your boxed calendar face and then make you watch katie perry's performance at the grammy's on repeat. then, i'm gonna release the Shay-ster on your leap year ass. Watch out. She'll be wearing the cape I made her.
word.

PS I'm glad you're safe. oooooo (all hugs)

gurl.

Jan Cooper said...

Yep, the most important thing is you are okay! So thankful you are, it could have been way worse. I love you more...
