cerulean_sky: ([spml] i am the love between us)
Since it's past midnight, it is officially the last day of 2012.

In 2012, I...:

♥ ...began dating The Boyfriend, henceforth known as J, and fell in love;
♥ ...got a fat cat named Dimitri;
♥ ...moved into an apartment with J;
♥ ...wrote a mediocre short story, 2 lousy scripts, and some awful non-fiction for school;
♥ ...started a novel that I actually think I'll finish and will be publishable;
♥ ...knit a scarf and 2 hats;
♥ ...read 63 books (possibly 64, depending on how I do with the "currently reading" list);
Which isn't bad, really. The only one of my "resolutions" from last year that I managed to accomplish is "get a boyfriend" which is sort of hilarious to me. (Though I wrote those resolutions after I met him, but before we started dating.)

• Oh, also: I saw The Hobbit! I thought it was wonderful! There were a bunch of things that actually really struck me as fantastic, but the main ones were the references to the Lord of the Rings movies. Also, I liked that it was different, since The Hobbit is a different story. I have all sorts of feelings, and I can't wait for the next movies. And all the extended edition DVDs.

I don't really have any resolutions for 2013 beyond: write (finish a first draft of this novel), love, live. And graduate. I get to finish school in December of 2013. So that's a big one.

Hopefully 2013 will be a good year. I've got my fingers crossed.

Hello, 2012! 2011 was quite a year, wasn't it?
♠ got my second tattoo
♠ completed 2 fics and
♠ made two fanmixes
♠ wrote a short original story
♠ started a dozen fics that still need to be finished
♠ finished my sophomore year at St. John's College and transferred to SFUAD as a Creative Writing major
Likely that last one is the most important, or at least the most major in terms of changes. It's not a lot, really (though I suspect that there are some more things that I am forgetting) but I have fairly high hopes for 2012.

I don't usually have real set resolutions, but I usually have some things that I try to focus on to get better at. I didn't post my "resolutions" for last year here and I don't have my paper journal with me and I don't remember what they were, so I don't know how I did with them. I suspect not all that well. But this year! This year will be better. I just have this feeling.
♠ Write more original things. My independent study will require me to write 8 short stories, and I have a couple other projects in the works, including a thing with [livejournal.com profile] girasola.
♠ Finish some of the fics I started during 2011.
♠ Find a job or something to make some money.
♠ Maintain good grades.
♠ Have some meaningful relationships, like friends or a boyfriend or something.
♠ Travel, if I can. Maybe Israel in the summer. I still want to get to the UK, too.

I am using the airport's free wireless (having managed to get here half blind as my contacts are in a case in my pocket, due to still having somewhat bloodshot eyes (see facebook status of last night)) and this is the last time I will have to post before the end of the year.

This past year was full of ups and downs, but I'm pleased to say that it's ending on a high note. This year featured my lowest low, so the only place to go was up, and up I went. I'm happy where I am now, and proud of the fact that I got myself here.

This year's New Year's Resolutions:

I. Write write write. I broke the writing block, but now it's time to dive back in. Headfirst. I'm not setting any truly lofty goals (except that maybe next November I'll finish NaNoWriMo), I just want to be writing again.

ii. Get my driver's license and a car. Life will be easier with both of these things.

III. Be better in school. I did well the first semester, but all my teachers seem to see some sort of hidden potential in me (or at least unused potential) and I want to tap into that. My Greek teacher seems to think that I am way better at languages than I thought I was, so I'm going to really try to figure out how to be as good as he thinks I am.

IV. Spend more quality time with my boyfriend. I miss that.

And that's it. Everything else I'm sure is fine, or on the way to being fine. :D

Happy New Year's all!
