a personal entry. oh god what is thiiiiiis.
I haven't made a personal entry in months, oh god what the hell it feels kind of weird to be doing this! Plurk eated me.
It also feels a little weird to be doing this on DW instead of LJ, but I've found that even after I pretty much stopped logging into my personal LJ, I actually continued watching my flist over here. Possibly because it's smaller and slower and just feels so much less intimidating when I'm tired and not up to giving very many fucks. (This is probably also why microblogging has all but replaced the real deal for me, although I am...tempted to fix that, maybe.)
And I still find myself trying to keep things short and sweet instead of actually putting down my many-paragraphed mental tangents on the things I really don't like about cruise ships (talk about first world problems!) and "why on earth does my grandfather pay out the nose to take the whole family on these vacations when he's just going to stay in his cabin the whole time and only emerge for meals" and how for all I hear about how amazing they say the shopping in St. Thomas is, it's only really amazing if you're there to drop a few thousand dollars on diamond jewelry, which from where I'm sitting is a whole lot of NOPE.JPG.
(But really, I did actually enjoy the family vacation.)
2011 was pretty good to me, all things considered - the things I was hesitant about all turned out amazingly well. Finally finishing my grad school apps had me shitting bricks, but I love where I am now and am quite glad I wound up at my second-choice school rather than my first, and hopefully I can keep up that straight-A precedent I've set for myself so far. I can finally drive! The only accident I have had so far was 100% not my fault! It was kind of terrifying but it's working out okay!please don't snow when class starts on Tuesday...
I finally am enjoying RP again, after a long period of just treading water and making myself do it because it used to be fun and I wanted to have that much fun again. Part of that was coming back to CFUD, because while I think it was probably time for me to drop those characters and take a little break from it, I missed it like hell and coming back felt great. Part of that was getting back into Koei fandom, since that led me to Amat, which was another moment of terrifying "what the hell am I even doing" when I started writing the app, but the cast I joined is amazing and they are such a huge part of why I genuinely look forward to practically every thread again.
(Really, the reason I'm not bothering with that fandom year-in-retrospect meme? It can pretty much entirely be summed up with "revisited my love of dead historical Asians. awesome ensued.")
...I don't know where I'm going with this anymore! I guess "life is nice right now, please keep it up, 2012" will suffice.
