zana16I am absolutely ecstatic that I can talk! Still coughing, still not enough voice to sing, but I can talk and that is awesome.
Also, I spent a laid-back New Year's atbecka's place -- well, her parents' place -- and got to kiss coyotegestalt at midnight, which made me very happy.
People are posting about goals and stuff, but aside from figuring out the grad school thing and finding a doctor I actually like, my only New Year's resolution is that this is the year I'm going to get all my music and old writing off of my ancient desktop. It is going to happen. I have the Buffy musical on there, I have Rent on there, I have all my Tom Lehrer and all my Christmas music... and I have only turned on the desktop twice since 2007, both times to look for stories I wrote in my teens.
Year in review: I wrote one fic, for Yuletide. I'm glad I wrote it, although there is a lot of it that I did not post, and I would like to finish the rest and post it, possibly as a sequel? The Darkest Hour, Classic BSG, gen, Apollo.
Books! Books, I can say a lot more about. I finished 70 books this year, plus about 20-odd children's books I read over Thanksgiving when I visited my dad, that I forgot to record. Ah, here's another New Year's resolution: this year I am going to finish reading The Snow Leopard. It is really good and so hard to read because it is about such real things, with no pretense. I find it hard to get through just a chapter because it's like looking directly into the sun.
I am excited and apprehensive about 2012. I am unhappy at work and need to change that. I also need to focus more on life goals and less on minutiae. I am incredibly blessed in having two really awesome partners and so many fabulous friends, and I'm looking forward to 2012.
