| last photo of me for 2013 |
last year i did this post. this year, i don't really have a word, except maybe recovery or rest. this picture sadly was taken only today, the 25th of january 2014, so it's not from 2013. but, what i do have is a list of things i want to remember in 2013. so here goes.
- went to a beauty and the beast play for my birthday.
was wished a happy birthday by gaston,
the beast, belle, lumiere, cogsworth, and pretty
much every other character. it. was. amazing.
- saw frozen for the first time (what a great movie)
(we saw it on christmas eve and it was amazing.)
- DROVE A CAR IN A PARKING LOT Y ESSSS
- went to my cousin's wedding and danced like CRAZY.
- started so many novels: the angel novel, because we can, petrichor.
finished because i'm irish for the second time, too.
- came up with even more ideas for novels & characters:
here comes the sun, we are of olympus, beam me up, scottie,
something about summer, and many other inklings in progress
- did my first camp nano ever with mixed results.
- won my fourth year of nano.
- read the great gatsby. and loved it. completely.
- had my first solo giveaway on this blog.
- went to my second celtic thunder concert
- videochatted with two of my friends, all together, for the very first time
- got involved in tv shows like agents of SHIELD, graceland,
teen wolf, the tomorrow people,
king of the nerds, how i met your mother, and the big bang theory.
- pulled probably a million all-nighters.
- discovered i had a corn allergy.
- found the wonderful band, marianas trench. akspdlkfj;j.
- also, fall out boy. <3 div="">
- listened to so much more music than before,
expanding my horizons
- remembered what it's like to be a dreamer
- became even more addicted to pinterest.
- fell even more in love with the avengers and tony stark.
- GOT IRON MAN FOOTIE PAJAMAS.
- DRESSED UP IN AN IRON MAN MASK.
- took my first step into the james bond fandom with the movie skyfall.
HELLOOO Q.
- i was first exposed to dylan o'brien and fell in love.
- watched America's Got Talent for the first time
....and pulled my whole family into it
- hung out with my brother so many late nights.
- finally, finally wrote a scene in because i'm irish that i'd
been putting off for months. and gave it a proper ending.
- learned so much more beyond my worldview.
- ate chipotle. a lot.
- learned to live without things i previously loved to eat. and it's not too bad.
- dealt with, to varying degrees of success and acceptance,
my physical challenges, and tried to cope with intensely intense pain.
- cried, probably a lot, but that is life.
- laughed, also a lot. possibly more than the crying.
- cried over fictional characters. which is an entirely different kind of crying.
- had a very brief love affair with the voice (*whispers* adam levine)
- lived almost the entire year on an entirely nocturnal schedule.
the jury is still out on whether it is preferable to living life during the day.
- succumbed to the world of facebook games.
- wrote some poetry again.
- got so much closer to my current friends, and made new ones.
- changed a lot as to how i feel about life and God and loving people.
- got better and recovered. all around.
it was a good, restful year.
i am more than nervous and filled with trepidation about 2014,
but i can't stop it. i can only go with the flow.
so here goes, 2014. be good to me!
I found Marianas Trench and Fall Out Boy too! Good to see you post again :)
