impersonaTHE CONSENUS SEEMS TO BE - FUCK YOU 2009!
Though, even if I had my ups and downs, largely 2009 treated me fairly well. The biggest HURRAH was that I was able to achieve my biggest 2009 goals - to lose weight, to revamp my wardrobe COMPLETELY, to complete Nanowrimo, and to save up money to move to the West Coast. I've had my failings, but I always do, and it won't help me much to berate myself over them. I'm overall proud of myself for how I've handled this year, and I think I am a much more mature, patient person now than I was going into it.
Major resolutions for 2010:
MOVE TO THE WEST COAST THIS WILL BE DONE, THIS SHOULDN'T EVEN COUNT AS A RESOLUTION BECAUSE IT WILL BE DONE. The big question is how XDDDDDDD
GET A JOB WHICH ALLOWS FOR BRAINWORK I am fairly sure that I don't care much about the salary, as long as I can you know, support myself and all. I just need to do SOMETHING ELSE GOD PLEASE.
JOIN CLUBS AND DO SHIT I WANT TO JOIN CLUBS SO BADLY IT HURTS. RP is really the only community-activity I do now, but I want to take CLASSES. and SPORTS. and KNITTING CLUBS and other stuff. Can't do it now because my schedule is so inconsistent and batfuck.
IMPROVE RELATIONSHIPS. In general. Being a better friend, breaking out of my shell and opening myself up to more friendships, hopefully getting into dating before the end of the year (depending, of course).
SUBMIT A WRITING PIECE SOMEWHERE This is really scary, actually, but I need to get to this point if I'm really going to be fucking serious about writing. Cause there is nothing I want less than to be someone who writes fic and never makes anything of it. I have to focus more on writing stuff that doesn't need insane amounts of context, mostly.
DON'T GAIN WEIGHT! I am really proud that I lost as much weight as I did (40 pounds). Plz to keeping it this way, cause I actually have a degree of self-esteem regarding my appearance now. Keeping my hair nice and short helps a lot too, and I'm going to experiment with MAKE-UP this year gasp.
Lesser goals/things I'm excited for include:
- Driving cross-country this spring (I think everyone should do this at least once in their life)
- MAD EPIC WEST COAST ADVENTURES I'm actually really hoping that I can take two months 'break' from working so I can get all of my traveling done without the madness of trying to squeeze things into a really stupid schedule. ALSO OTAKON THIS SUMMER, THOUGH THAT IS NOT EXACTLY WEST COAST.
- Work on my Twelve Kingdoms RPG! Later today, I'm actually going to type up my notes so far into a public Google Docs, and I invite people to comment, question, and suggest all they like <3
- Buying purple Uggs (winter) and purple Fit-Flops (summer). But only if I get a real career-sort-of-job.
- NOVEL PLANNING. K and I are planning a Nano Planning Month in February, and now I'm stuck trying to figure out which idea of mine I want to pursue XDDDD
- ....ZOMG THE YGO TENTH ANNIVERSERY MOVIE I CANNOT WAIT AAAAAAAAAAAAAH *fangirl swoon*
And in a good old SHARE THE LOVE moment...thank you to EVERYONE for really making this year wonderful, and for supporting me and telling me I don't suck as much as I think I do and the hundreds of other little things you do on a daily basis which makes my days worthwhile. HEARTS ABOUND I LOVE YOU ALL <3333333333333333

Date: 2010-01-04 04:58 pm (UTC)AHAHAHA. XD I did the math this morning, trying to recall exactly how many times I've moved more than two states, and I kinda cringed. XD I've moved from Vegas to NYC, NYC to Los Angeles, LA to Chicago, NYC to San Francisco via Vegas, SF to Atlanta, Nashville to San Francisco -- and that's not counting Chicago to NYC or Atlanta to Easton PA and back to Atlanta again, which technically aren't transcontinental. *sheepish grin* I've done these drives in everything from 14' rental trucks to rented SUVs, depending on how much stuff I was dragging along with me and how much money I had available (sometimes it's actually cheaper to rent a regular car than a moving truck!).
TIMING IS EVERYTHING when turning in one's resignation from a job. Giving one's employer a heads up is generally good form -- severs the tie cleanly, gives you a good reference too. Two weeks' notice is customary in the non-retail world, so you might could use that as a guideline. (ALSO try to get a letter of reference, copies of past work appraisals, etc., so you have a paper trail and contact info for future job applications.)
Again, I'm totally available any ol' time for brainstorming and advice and stuff. <333 Yay for hanging out more!!
