Hey ambs, What's the 411?

Blogging; not something I thought I'd ever do. But after reading my sister's blog, I convinced myself that it's quite possibly the best way to fully inform my family, friends, and random stumble-upon-my-page people about the things that I'm up to or about to be up to.
But, before I get too into detail with those situations, let me give you a heads up of where I'm at in my life right now.
In the past two years, I've accomplished the following goals:
1. Graduated from High School (Class of 2007!!)
2. Earned my first 9 credits from college
3. Learned what it's like to live without parental-units
And up until late April of 2009, I enjoyed 95% of it. Yes, I bet you're thinking "So what's the 5% that you didn't enjoy ambs?" Well, the whole I'm jobless bit kind of killed my living-on-your-own experience.
The entire experience wasn't a total bummer though. I did live with my sister for 10 months and I did learn so much from her. (By the way; she's my biggest hero ever. Give her props. Yay Ape!) Anyway, Before I moved in with her, I had been through a lot. I think though, so you don't get lost in all this confusion, that I'll start from the very beginning.

So, when I was 6, my parents divorced. Saddening? Yes. Painful? Yes. I learned from it though. It taught me (not exactly when I was 6 years old) that at multiple points during your life, you're bound to have falling-outs with friends, loved-ones and sometimes even yourself. But, if you stay strong through it all, you'll know better for the next round. And that, unfortunately, has brought around a major trust issue with me. It's not as bad as it used to be, but I still have a hard time letting people in. As I grew older, I sort of drifted apart from certain people and when I was 9, I spent my fair share of weekends filled with visits to a psychiatrist. It didn't really help though. I was young and didn't really care for it.
At this point in my life, I should be almost done with my sophomore year of college. I'm not though. It's really the only decision I've ever made and regretted. Because, to be honest; I don't regret things really. They're learning experiences. Think about it. If you regret something, you dwell on the situation for a period of time, when you could be concentrating on better, more time-consuming, and possibly fun.
Like I had said earlier; moving in with my sister was a great experience. I learned that her and I are opposite ends of a gigantic spectrum when it comes to most things. But we're both extremely easy-going, we enjoy the same kinds of music (for the most part) and when just the two of us hang out, we're filled with non-stop laughter. I have enough best friends to last a lifetime, but my sister is my closest one. She knows me inside and out. Well, except for a few minor details here and there. Her boyfriend is pretty cool too. We had plenty of moments of making my sister have total blonde moments.
Now, let's get back on track.
With the support of my family, friends, and loved-ones at my side; I'm slowly getting my life on track. Everything is going good for now. I still have to concentrate on getting a job, getting my license, a car and paying my phone bill on time. But the greater amount of responsibilites I begin to hold onto shows not only me, but everyone surrounding me that I can get by on my own. I can be an independant person.
Oh, did I mention; I'm a poet? Yeah. Be on the look-out for some poems to be posted soon! One of which recieved an award in October 2006. AND placed 3rd in an international contest.
Enjoy your weekend, as Another Day in Paradise ends.
Goodnight and Love to all!
