Oh. My. Good. Ness.

So it's 2012. And I find that hilarious the more I say it. For one thing, when I look at things like blogger or livejournal, I just never imagined this far in life. I mean, it's just weird. It seems like it was only yesterday it was 1998. Haha. I definitely do not want to imagine what 2022 is going to feel like. If we make it that far. Which brings me ultimately to the reason why I find it funny that it is now 2012. Because the world is going to end. THE WORLD IS GOING TO END!
Juuuuust kidding. I'm totally kidding. But most people aren't. I mean, I thought Y2K was ridiculous, but the "twenty-twelve" hype? Most ridiculous of all. Seriously. I suppose people nowadays are seriously trying to justify it and stuff exclaiming, "The Mayans! The Mayan calender ends on December 21, 2012! We gonna die y'all." (Okay, maybe they don't say exactly, "we gonna die y'all" but pretty much that's how a lot of people feel.) And so begins panic that we will never see another New Years. Uh oh. But okay, maybe something WILL happen. Who knows. But I doubt that it's the end of the world. Because I've already survived that numerous times.
The last time the world ended was a few months ago. I don't remember the date exactly, because I don't really pay attention to those sort of things but I do remember lots and lots of idiots selling all their belongings and giving them to Mr. Worldsgonnaend ( Idk his name) and living like there was no tomorrow. When time came for us to be raptured, nothing happened. And then everyone was all, "No! It's 12am Israeli time!" or "No! It's 12am New York time!"...well when 12am had passed pretty much every where in the world, it was save to say that the world didn't end. That, or God thinks we're all unworthy and perhaps raptured a handful of people...but I think it's the first rather than the latter.
That situation was a bit different than 2012 however. That was just some guy who perhaps saw a lot of nice cars and thought, "Hmm..maybe if I tell everyone that the world's ending then they'll give me their cars for free? Sweet." But I am excited for December 21st. Just to see the reaction of people. As long as it isn't violence or mass suicide---that wouldn't be fun. But this year is going to be different. I CAN FEEL IT IN MY BONES. (I'm at school, so I'm slightly paranoid that someone is going to come behind me and read things I've typed in all caps and be like, "wtflip is she talking about o_O" but ANYWAY..) Reading back on my old blogs, especially from '08 makes it so weird knowing that it is four years later. The fact that I'm halfway through college scares me more than anything else though...


So I posted a lot back in 2008, and I was reading something I wrote about my contacts driving my eye insane and how I had to run home and take one out, which was the right eye. I find that really interesting because the SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED TODAY. I woke up mad early this morning, because my sister had to work early and therefore needed the car. My eye was bothering me but I thought I'd be able to handle it for the day. Wrong. I was so wrong. We went to the bank first because I had to get something signed for my Intro to Education class, and the whole time my right eye was on fire. I could barely look the bank teller in the eye because every time I opened them, my right eye burned so badly that I had to close it again. It was awful. After we left I told Stephanie, " I don't think I can handle this. Do you have contact solution?!" She didn't, and so I sat there thinking of ways to removing the entire right side of my face. So I asked again to see if she had a contact case. She did, but we both realized it would be futile without solution. Finally, I begged her to take me to the hospital, so that we could go to the drug store in the hospital (the hospital is really close to the college) and get solution. As soon as I could I took out my right contact and have been blind in that eye all day. Just like back in '08. Some things have never changed.

So far nothing dramatic or drastically different has happened this year. Granted, it's only day 11 of 2012, and there's about 355 days left so who knows. This year's a leap year, which I'm really excited about. I want to do something fun on the day that won't come back for another four years.

I still can't believe how fast life is going.
