eumeliaI guess I should write an end of year something or other. I don't know what to say that would be any kind of proper review.
In the end if I had to classify 2012, it would be "the year nothing went according to plan", because while a whole lot of it sucked and I don't really care to revisit it all that much, a lot of good happened as well.
My youngest nephew was born. He'll be turning one on the 8th. Definitely the best thing of 2012; well done to my brother and my sister-in-law.
I got a job I'm still working at. A job that pays reasonably well and can actually help me advance in my professional life. I didn't think I'd be working in this kind of company ever.
I continued writing, improving with every story. If there's a resolution I'd feel comfortable making, it's in my desire to be more prolific and explore more subjects in my fiction this year. I'd also like to promote actual meta, which I feel is lacking in visibility (and possibly interest).
One thing's for sure, you guys, my lists, my friends, made the past year bearable. Some of you had a year as terrible as mine, some even worse. I know I've neglected many people, here and in other social circles, I am sorry for that, but that's part of the program. You never know what or when life is going to hit you.
In a parallel universe I'm in my second year of grad school and I'll be a librarian. In a different universe I'm working on my book about aunthood while working in some part time job, or maybe the same IT job I have now (though that doesn't give much time to actually write).
In this universe, 2013 has one thing I have definite plans for; a proper holiday. I gotta get out of this country a bit.
Happy New Year.
See you on the flip side.
