2009, 2010, and a decade in review.
So it's been a hell of a year and even more so of a decade.
So lets start with 2009. Oh where to begin...
So in January, my friend Subbycoon came out to visit over my birthday, then again in April and all Summer. This was the first time I had a friend stay with me over an entire summer and it was a blast getting to hang out that long. We ended up taking a road trip that involved 38 hrs of driving through quite a few states (Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Arkansas). There are a lot of great memories from that time and the trip. It was also when I got my new Husky suit and sold my old one to my roommate Wolfwings who also moved in this year. After the trip, the poor little Xterra was falling apart so I traded up to the Escalade in August.
Wild Nights went off for the first time and I ended up becoming Event Director for the con. It was a lot of work, but I rather enjoyed getting to make things happen and look forward to it this year in 2010. Then there was MFM and MFF. Both were a just awesome. For MFM I got to see my sister and her family a lot more this time around. I also went down to Beale St with Kellogg and Subbycoon. For MFF, it was just the usual party the entire weekend and was a blast. Great food, good friends, and fun times.
This year I also changed jobs within the company. I spent 5 months of the year on nights and now work with other countries which is exciting. I got several best of awards and really did well for myself there.
Locally we did 2 Zona Rosa events suiting, Thanksgiving had some friends over and did a big dinner, Then my friend Kellogg came out to visit just before I left to Christmas. Had a blast as well with him out here and we had another party that weekend. Then off to visit my family back in TN for xmas. It was a good time and I got to stay with my friend Ursa in KY before hopping over for a short visit.
All in all, it's been a fun filled, action pack, sleep deprived year of insanity. :)
Then there's the whole decade. Here's some of the main milestones.
-In early 2000 I got a job, dropped out of college, and started my career by moving out of my parents house out on my own. I also bought my first car on my own (2000 Contour SVT)
-In late 2002 I finally came out to myself about liking guys, got more involved (was only online with it since 1996) in the fandom and dated my first BF.
-In 2003 went to my first con which was AC.
-In 2005 went to my second con (FWA) and then moved to Kansas CIty for work, plus got my first suit built by someone else, and went to Oklacon. I traded off my Ford for a Nissan Xterra as well.
-In 2006 I went to MFM and MFF for the first time. Got more suits (malamute, yotie, wild dog) and enjoyed running around with those. I also got my Audi TT that year.
-In 2007 Made a couple more suits and brought one of them to MFM. Started DJing at cons again. I missed MFF due to health issues and was still going through a lot with my back. I also made it out to Oklacon that year too. Ended up commissioning my Mixed Candy suit in November for my husky character.
-In 2008 I made it to Oklacon, MFM, and MFF again. In Jan I also commissioned Soki for my first husky suit. Then got it a few months later and too him to all 3 cons.
-In 2009 Read Above :P
So... What does the future hold? 2010? hmm.
- I want to try and quit smoking this year.
- Try and lose more weight this year.
- Try and get out suiting more this year.
- Just have a blast as always...
I'm also thinking about selling off my Audi this year and trying to get into a classic car project as well. So it should be a fun year.
