Dec. 31st, 2011 01:33 pmThis past year:
was weird. I was pretty devastated for a while when my sister moved to Chicago at the beginning of the year, and having her not around is still something I'm getting used to. I quit my horrible, horrible job and came back to Starbucks, but this time as a shift mananger. I went to Europe for the first time! Cathedrals and castles and beer and flowers and awesome food and good friends and trains and cities and countrysides and everything in between in Germany and Holland. State-side I went to NYC and Miami and Georgia and Chicago and Disney and with the exception of Miami (ugh urgh) I had an immensely enjoyable time.
I'm sometimes still floundering with Mental Issues, but I hope, I think, next year I can get a better grasp on things.
The internet changed a lot too. Sometimes I feel like I'm just shouting into the void, and it's just not worth it anymore. I miss certain people, immensely, but life changes, so I guess my mentality on how online life functions has to as well. I'm still deeply entrenched into SPN/J2 and I really don't see that changing anytime soon. No other fandom has piqued my interest in a long time, so it's hard to make new friends in this sort of environment. I have no idea what this coming year is gonna look like, and honestly, I'm a little nervous.
This coming year:
Unless it's the perfect (or near perfect) fit, I don't see myself moving out of state this year, no matter how much I want to. I want to buy a new (used) car, be an adult, make payments, etc. Well, no, just kidding, I don't want to do those last two things, but I do really want a car that I bought, having it be just the one I want instead of settling. There'll be a lot of traveling: a wedding in August in Salt Lake City, a wedding in September in Minneapolis, WinCon in Dallas in October (with a roadtrip to Austin as well, perhaps?), and, hey, if I can find good deals to other cities (NYC, Seattle, Portland, Chicago, etc) I'll probably just snag tickets and go. It'll be my compensation to myself for not moving.
I wonder if I should just go ahead and get my WinCon tickets now. Buying tickets to things so far in advance makes me nervous though. Hmmm.
I will be seeing Radiohead in an awesome venue with awesome seats on Leap Year Day.
I will try to read more books.
I will watch Doctor Who.
I will try not to let Jensen Ackles' face make me do embarrassing things. (Too late.)
I will remember that I have good people in my life, both online and off.
