Farewell, 2011.
It feels like everything has gone by too fast, and in all honesty, I'm absolutely terrified.
I shouldn't be. After all, it's another year come and gone. But at the same time, there is
so much I didn't do in between so much I *did* that it's quite frightening. That, and then there's the thought that I spent too much time talking about my problems instead of solving them, and not enjoying things I used to enjoy.
There were great things about 2011. There were things like me joining LiveJournal for the first time, as well as winning NaNoWriMo, beginning my Clone Wars watch (and I have to say Lucas and Filoni are on a gorram roll so far. Seriously! :D), having a decent Halloween and Thanksgiving and Christmas, etc. I loved DEATHLY HALLOWS PART 2, and got into ATLA and Radio Dead Air, and a lot more.
But at the same time, I'll admit I am afraid. 2011 was a year in freefall for me. Freefall, as Matthew Stover beautifully put it, in the dark. No way to know where you were falling, or where, or how you would land. Or, for that matter, crash. In the end, it turned out...relatively all right -- but most of it -- most of it could have used a little more.
Hopefully, 2012 will be a lot better. The world may end in 2012 -- or it may not. At the very least -- we'll try and have some degree of fun getting there. :)
