The last post for 2011 - Thank You
I know my journal has been a bit bare really, but with just under 1 1/2 hours to go before 2012, I thought I'd get in the last post. Last year I wrote until the new year has passed, so I'd thought I get a slightly early start.
First ups, Thank yous!
I have a small flist group, and I treasure all of you very very much!
calamitycrow (and her cat!) for knowing almost instinctively when I need that extra boost of hugs and cuddles, primrose_1 for giving me excellent advice for my life decisions, xbreakmyheart for unfailingly putting a smile to my face almost everytime I saw a comment from her, gaelicspirit for knowing just what to say and when to say it, beadslut for coming in with a truly amazing save for my BigBang earlier this year, with her awesome beta-skills, moondropz for coming up with those picspams that will always cheer me up, inkruns for that gorgeous art she made for my BigBang, truelyesoteric for just being her wacky self and making me laugh for her cracky plot fics, fifimom for one of those flisters who would quietly support you every single time, raloria for all all those pics that she painstakingly posted, to keep fandom interested and alive and such a joy, cha for all those pics of her cats and those chats we had on twitter, hells_half_acre for another 'Demented 'verse! and being so sweet and nice overall to post me a copy of the magazine for me to drool over the boys and refreshing in all those discussion posts in her blog, roque_clasique for generally being a BAMF in fandom, ratherastory for the great stories and insights to the SPN world, and for entertaining me when I became a 'bit' chatty in twitter.
Special thank yous to raloria sentra04 aythia and xbreakyourheart for the Christmas cards!! Got them this week, and they put me in a more positive frame of mind to celebrate the end of the year.
priya_723 and xerex live in the same country as me so I will save the thank you and squee and hug you when I see you in RL okay babes??
If I have missed anyone personally I apologize profusely, but it's past 11 now, and my brain kinda shuts down after that. It doesn't in any way reflect you, only me. BUT I STILL ADORE AND LOVE AND APPRECIATE YOU GUYS! *HUGS AND CONFETTI*
Secondly, I thought I'd write up a bit of what 2011 has been for me RL-wise and how I hope 2012 will turn out to be.
For the first half of 2011 nothing of a huge significance really happened, save for a certain student of mind who thought that it would be exciting to drive her tutor crazy. Oh, and I went on a blind date, of sorts, but that one is best left forgotten.
The second half of this year was a bit more 'lively', for want of a better word. I went to 5 funerals for 5 months in a row. Two of those funerals were for my grandparents, with my grandma passing away in August and my grandfather following her barely two months later. That was the hardest for me, my grandfather's death, and it was during his funeral that I cried the most. for it was mostly unexpected. Trudging to the cemetery and facing the corpses being buried under those layers of earth and sand and then looking around all the other graves will most certainly give you pause and introspection on yourself, your choices and your lives. I spent the second half of November and first half of December on the edge of my seat, convincing myself that something bad was going to happen and that I should get ready for it. I still am edgy, to be quite honest, but it's tamped down a little.
I hope 2012 will be a much better year for me financially and relationship-wise. I hope that I have enough energy to handle everything that might be thrown my way, and that only (mostly) good things will happen. And that the Apocalypse won't be happening, because I really didn't want to be totting guns and shooting at zombies :p
And mustn't forget the fandom, Here's to more Supernatural, Sherlock, Leverage and The Mentalist! Oh, and Grimm and Once Upon a Time too :)
Let the party begin!
