the sound is what found us
Dec. 30th, 2011 03:58 pmI think I'm going to avoid the fannish year in review meme, because my year has been so oddly lopsided. ( However, here is a roundup of this year's fanart, if only to remind myself! )
I'm heading back north on Monday to hang out in my mostly-empty little town working four-hour shifts for a couple weeks! (And not before time; the statute of limitations on spending harmonious time with my parents is definitely running out.) Among other plans, I think I'm going to be participating in![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
akamine_chan's Fandom Snowflake Challenge. Seems like the perfect way to celebrate fannish things a bit before grad school eats me again. :D
As for real-life reflections on the year, well ... honestly, there's just too much. I left my first for real adult job after three years (gratefully and with much rejoicing, though it was a perfectly good one), left the city, and went to the school of my dreams. Which ATE me. That's already more than enough, without feelings and identity crises and ~life lessons that I'm trying to learn and not dwell on (or ramble about).
(That said, yesterday I bought the cutest bra I have ever owned. Which was a small thing, but ... this year, I feel good about my body in a way that I never have before, and I am so immensely grateful for that. So that's one thing! And I am having this problem where I can't stop staring down at my own chest every five minutes. /o\ Um. Hi. Sorry. Anyway.)
Also, before I disappeared, I got to meet a whole bunch of you this year, and get to know a few more of you much better, and that has been one of the best things.
2012 is going to be amazing, okay? Let's get that done.
