5187: We All Become
I guess I should do this thing... not like I've done much ELSE here this year. #whee #NoAttentionSpan
1. What did you do in 2014 that you'd never done before?
Fursuited... I did cosplay the same character last year, but it was pretty half-assed. I guess TECHNICALLY it wasn't a full suit, but the head was weighty enough, thank you.
Also, Metro-commuted, I guess, which was MISERY and I'll never fucking do THAT again if I can help it. [Certainly not FIFTEEN STOPS WORTH.]
...drank coffee? REGULARLY?? [though calling it "coffee" might be a bit of a stretch]
2. Did you keep your new year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I don't do yearly resolutions. NEVER AGAIN. A year is a long damn time.
I did try to do monthly ones, though, with mixed results even for "successes" =p
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Was Meriwether this year?
I know Dawn Best and TWO old elementary schoolmates of mine had kids a few months ago, though.
4. Did anyone close to you die?
Not close...
5. What countries did you visit?
MAGFEST
[uhhh San Fransokyo?]
6. What would you like to have in 2015 that you lacked in 2014?
Permajob =_= [getting annoyed at how this slot never seems to change from year to year]
7. What date from 2014 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
For the time being, 18 Aug, but only because that's the start date for my current enslavementjob, and start dates are a core component of my workload. No doubt I'll forget that as soon as something better happens along... for instance, how I've already forgotten about AARP beyond "June to July"-ish =p
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
100% KORRA ACHIEVEMENTS
...I guess
9. What was your biggest failure?
*grumble*job*grumble*
[to be fair, I **HAVE** a job, but how much more can I scrape this barrel]
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
I discovered I have corns, and they haven't been going away... toothaches from generally having bad teeth... I dunno. Nothing too far out of the ordinary.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
Mischief! =D
12. Whose behaviour merited celebration?
There are good people, I know, but so inspecific and forgettable when I try to think of them in a last-minute "Year in Review" post. Pretty much any Good Samaritan types at each instance of (see below).
13. Whose behaviour made you appalled and depressed?
DO I REALLY WANT TO REMEMBER GAMERGATE AND FERGUSON >:C
WHY DO THESE KINDS OF SHITS KEEP HAPPENING
14. Where did most of your money go?
Besides the usual "Don't Be Homeless" fees? Mostly Kickstarters, a bit of SPX, some Patreon (as it should be)
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
[cut]
[paste]MAGFest D=[/paste] [delete bit about "in four days" since it moved toward the end of January for 2015]
16. What song will always remind you of 2014?
I'm not gonna remember... -_- though the subject line is pretty good =>
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
I. happier or sadder? meh
II. thinner or fatter? HOW DO I BUY OVERSIZE JEANS FOR COMFORT AND THEY STOP FITTING =C
III. richer or poorer? ...having a shit job still constitutes an income, so "richer"? ¬_¬
18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
ANY kind of thing-making, though tbh I did enjoy a month of accidental gaming
19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
gaming -_- [as an "instead of the planned COSPLAY WORK"]
20. How did you spend Christmas?
went to Dan's place to see it before he and his squeeze move straight the hell back out because Toby
21. How are you spending New Year's?
not wisely! =p
22. Did you fall in love in 2014?
Korra?!?! ^_^
23. Do you like anyone now that you didn't like this time last year?
There's always someone... Rachel Dukes, I'll say.
24. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
I'd prefer not to record that stuff, tbh, 'cause why relive that
25. What was your favourite TV program?
...Korra ¬_¬ if we're trying to cover "new" ground
26. What was the best book you read?
Pretty much any graphic novel. Books with words kind of let me down this year by accident of selection... I think Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman was the only really good one if that was in fact this year and I'm not forgetting.
27. What was your greatest musical discovery?
--that I can make ANY? =o [though it still takes me too long to do remotely well]
28. What did you want and get?
Korra!!!
29. What did you want and not get?
a not-shit job =/
Okay TO BE FAIR I don't HATE my current job. It's just... you know... still fucking TEMP WORK at this point. [[hire me]]
30. What was your favourite film of this year?
***Big Hero 6*** ^o^
31. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
why do I keep including this Q
...okay, we went to our apparently annual Wasabi outing =9
32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
...do you know me at ALL, questionnaire =|
33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2014?
"I can't wait until I have money enough to upgrade my wardrobe such that my old work clothes become my casual clothes"
34. What kept you sane?
...is that a thing? =o
35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
ahaha Henry [not "fancy" fancy, tho]
No doubt there's a better answer, but again--last-minute attempt to try to remember an entire year -_-
36. What political issue stirred you the most?
How would it not be Ferguson =|
How is Ferguson kinds of shit still a thing
fuckin' PEOPLE
37. Who did you miss?
Everybody -_-
38. Who was the best new person you met?
"Buffy" from work is pretty cool, though I gotta teach her about LOUDLY STATING PASSWORDS for ANY REASON
39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2014:
I am definitely too "objective" to succeed as an artist!
No, seriously, art is more and more a thing I *can* do when I would really rather do something else. So much more satisfying to me objectively being able to complete a task and know it's done! [see "Achievements"]
40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
♭When you speak I hear silence/Every word a defiance/I can hear, oh, I can hear...♫
Sorry it's been a while, folks! I just haven't been feeling the longhand that it feels LJ was designed for.
