Valentine's Day rolled around and I ended up having lunch with my two closest girl friends at the time. I don’t remember the rest of February, March, or very much of my uneventful and dim year. April was eighteenth birthday; it was the day of the Toronto AP Tour. I got to see two of my favourite bands, meet one of them, and add another band to my favourites list.
I went to Puerto Vallarta in the beginning of May. That was pretty nice. The hotel was really pretty and extravagant. I wasn’t too fond of the beach, though, or the city life. Honda Civic Tour ’08 soon followed, which was pretty boring. I dropped out of school at the end of the month. I got myself into some mucky stuff, but hey, I survived.
In July, I went to England for almost the whole month. I met new friends, fell in love with a boy, learnt a lot, and felt amazing. I miss those times so much; they were the best times of my life.
Then, tragedy hit in August. When I came home from England, my Mom told me she had a tumour in her abdomen. I was devastated, and I prayed it wasn’t cancer. I was almost positive it wasn’t cancer. But, in September, I found out it was my worst nightmare. I spent some scary times in the hospital with my Mom, emotional times at home with my sister, and once again dropped out of school (I had only been there for about a week).
The epic thirty or so people in attendance to the Toronto Valencia Tour show was also in September. That is when I met Sing it Loud (my favourite boys ever) and hung out with an…interesting band called Cash Cash. Valencia were awesome, too, of course. The Rocket Summer show was at the end of the month, and that was a lot of fun.
In the beginning of October, Heather took me to see Sing it Loud (Sassyback Tour) in Buffalo. I had a blast; it was so insane. I met so many people and had such a good time. I love you Heather! It started turning cold in October, so I couldn’t have been too happy, in general. November was concert month. Jack’s Mannequin at the beginning, which was so amazing, and then the epic three tours in four days.
November ended, along with my Mom’s treatments, so she moved back home. December was the whole typical family members’ birthdays and the Christmas thing. New years day I went out with some lovelies for waffles and then to see Twilight. That night I spent time with family and packing like a mad women.
Overall, 2008 was filled with new friends, who I love very much and I don’t know what I’d do without them (you know who you are. Yes, you). New psychotropic medications have been interesting, and my volunteer work has been amazing and eye-opening. 2008 was fifteen of concerts, endless laughs, and good times. I’ve been through new experiences and screwed up, but somehow I made my life still work.
