everybody else is doing it, so why can't we? :: 2017 goals
I have no plans on leaving LJ, but that doesn't mean I won't wake up and find it has disappeared, especially with the way things have been the past few days! I've had a Dreamwidth account since 2009 (another big LJ scare) so if you want to add me there, please do. I probably won't post unless LJ forces my hand, but I don't want to lose touch with any of you lovelies!
My only real resolution/goal for 2017, or at least my most ambitious, is to have more gatherings. I tend to only have people over for the obvious birthday party or new year's eve blow out and that really isn't enough time with my friends! And if they can't make it to those few events, I never see them! So this year I plan on having some kind of gathering once a month. Simple things that can bring us together. February is going to be Galentine's Day, Leslie Knope style! March will be a game night or maybe a Rock Band party, April will be a nerdy Shakespeare party, May will be a Star Wars Anniversary party (I acquired a copy of Harmy's Despecialized Edition for A New Hope, cannot wait to watch HAN SHOOT FIRST BWAHAHA!). That's as far as I have gotten in my party planning, apart from the obvious Halloween party in October.
Plus, I know a few of you are in the area or will be in the area in 2017 so I'm hoping to meet some LJ peeps face to face! (and I will alert any of you if I am near your home...that sounds creepy, but you know what I mean!) If one of the above mentioned gatherings sounds like fun, you're invited! :D
I want to keep working on graphics and such. Tim and I both got each other new monitors for Christmas. This was not planned at all! So now I have this beautiful, 24-inch ACER and it is GLORIOUS! But it also means I need to make new desktops to fit because all of my old ones are from my teeny tiny monitor. #nerdproblems.
Also, check out my awesome mug! :D
