Happy 2014!

Happy-New-Year1

Is it time for a new year already? I just got used to writing 2013 on things. Now all of my checks are going to be wrong again. 

Anyway, 2014 should be an interesting year. I will be turning 29 in September and I’m sure the realization that it’s the last year of my 20s will drive me slowly insane as the date approaches. But what else is new?

I’m looking forward to being employed, hopefully getting my life together, and maybe, if the stars align and a Mayan prophecy is actually fulfilled, I might actually get a real career-type job. But let’s not get too ahead of ourselves. The last five years haven’t exactly made me very hopeful that I will one day find a career in writing. But stranger things have happened.

On the whole, 2013 was an interesting year. I accomplished a lot despite my various setbacks. One of my accomplishments was writing over 141k words in a novel that I’ve been planning since high school. I also published my 100th MiST. Although no one, besides me, knows how difficult and trying it was to MiST over 100 bad stories and fanfictions, this is quite a feat. I don’t know of any other MiSTer anywhere who has done this before. Granted, I don’t socialize with a lot of other MiSTers because we seem to be quite rare and elusive, but still.

I also lost over 95 lbs this year, visited Hawaii and Australia, got this website set up, had some fun adventures and got hired at the end of the year. Finally having a job, let alone a job that actually seems interesting and fun, is quite a relief. I can only hope that this job is as intriguing as I am hoping it will be. I’m also going to try to get an evening part-time job so I can bring in a little extra money.

I don’t have a New Years Resolutions this year. I just want to work (and get paid for it), keep writing, have fun with my friends, and snuggle my fiance and puppies whenever possible. I also want to try some new things, go new places, and have new experiences. I can’t even think of these things yet, but I’m sure they will come to me. Also, I want to see lots more drag shows. You can never go to too many of those.
