This is Probably More Than You'd Wanted to Know.

Things that have happened in 2006 in no particular order:

When Bailey turned 18 she had a party at her house. I had no job at the time and didn't get her anything and as a result, just tried to ride on Matt's gift. Dina got mad at me because I said that she broke Bailey's front door. I yelled at Bailey a lot and told Matt to take me home and he just said, "No. Walk." We danced in front of Bailey's house, in her entry way, and in her backyard to Gym Class Heroes, some good rap, and some swing songs. That was some of the most fun I've ever had.

Prom was sort of shitty. Everyone got mad at Bailey and me because we didn't want to pay like a million dollars to ride in the limo and because we wanted sushi and not Firebird's. After prom there was alcohol at Allie's so I went home. Matt followed suit shortly after.

Bailey and I kissed on a park bench for the first time on Cinco de Mayo this year. We're not really sure why or how, but it happened. This can be debated as to whether or not it was a good thing. The next day we talked about it for 5 hours on the phone.

This summer my best friend left for Idaho on June 26. That was a hard day. Not so much because he left, but because I knew that the good part of my summer was officially over. I congratulated him on his leaving and hugged him twice. Then I went to work and listened to Jack's Mannequin, Matisyahu, and Gym Class Heroes on my Mp3 Player all day. I cried that evening when I talked to Dina.

I applied to BYU, BYU-Idaho, and UofM. I got into all three. I got a full ride to the UofM. I brag about this a lot but it is probably the one thing in life that I would really like to change. I want so badly to go to BYU. But I can't right now. Maybe later. I hate Memphis. I love school but I really want to leave this town. I'm afraid of change but I feel like I need it. However, I am happy. Perhaps I'm not completely satisfied, but I am okay with my life situation.

I was really good friends with Kelby this year. He was thinking about becoming Mormon and when he didn't, he decided to sever all ties with me. I've seen him on campus twice and don't know what to say to him and as a result, have not spoken to him since the first week of July. This is both sad and embarrassing.

I went to the lake twice this summer. I got three watercraft tickets. That sucked. I also got one speeding ticket on June 6 on Kirby Whitten, and, as a result, I will get my licence suspended if I get one more.

My best friend came home for a weekend. I have already mentioned that in this blog.

I saw Les Misérables with my (then) girlfriend Bailey on July 14. We got sushi before and Sonic after.

I forgot Dina's birthday and that was the straw that broke the camel's back. We didn't speak for about a month. Things are not the same to this day. I completely take responsibility for this.

I had a New Year's Eve get together at my house. We played Scene It and drank sparkling apple cider. I thought I was going to kiss this girl on that night but I didn't.

I went to a barbecue put on by Shelby Yell with Dina, Matt, Bailey and Grant. There was a lot of arguing in the car before we got there. None of us really wanted to go but we somehow did anyway. Later, at Sonic, we saw Katie. She was barefoot and sad. I don't know why.

I spoke at my high school graduation. Afterward, I hung out with no one from my school. Rather, I played video games at Kelby's. I went to a party after Bolton's graduation. It was pretty crappy, and I left with Matt, Bailey, and Dina. We officially initiated ourselves into DB that night. Except for Bailey, that is. We went to Matt's and ate pank ice pops.

This year was nothing like I had expected it to be.
But I would change very, very little.
