The Year of the Dragon

Yes, 2012 is here and I'm pretty stoked, for various reasons. But first, a brief recap on the final months of the Year of the Rabbit.

I turned 21, which has been pretty 'meh' so far. The night itself was awesome though (details later). As far as feeling 'different,' because I can BUY BOOZE NOW(!!!1), not much has changed. While yes, I can legally purchase alcohol whenever I want, it means nothing if I lack the funds.

My best friend got married and moved halfway across the country. This is great for her, but not so hot for me as she was one of the few people I enjoyed interacting with. It was still an occasion I'm proud I was a part of. Despite some fudgings on the Bachelorette Party and Ring-holding, I think I was a halfway-passable Maid of Honor. It was bittersweet because I'm going to miss two of my best friends, but major changes are always exciting, and I remain optimistic about keeping in touch.


Christmas... happened, I guess. Every year I spend the whole day at work. Then my parents always insist I visit in an effort to keep me from becoming completely estranged (usually just to keep up appearances for the relatives). I got some great gifts from friends and family though, which I'm extremely grateful for and am already getting tons of use out of.

I was scheduled to work at 6AM on New Year's Day, but luckily this is the one day of the year where you can show up to work completely destroyed and it's not a big deal. Needless to say I drank and danced to my heart's content on New Year's Eve and less than one fuck was given. Here's to starting the new year off right.

I hope to accomplish a lot of things this year. Off the top of my head those things include:
  • moving in with my boyfriend in Phoenix
  • getting a new job in Phoenix
  • paying off my car
  • starting school again
  • getting more in shape for swimsuit/cosplay season
  • hopefully visiting my friends in Oklahoma
  • finishing up my costumes in time for Phoenix Comicon
  • camping for a week???
  • not dying in the apocalypse
Here's hoping 2012 will be a good one, and not the last one like the Mayans seemed to think.
