I simply love December and everything about it. I am not decorating this year because I am going to go enjoy my moms decorations later this month when I go visit her. During this month I tend to reflect what has happened all of this year and I can say this year was packed with a lot of new things. I can list a few things that made 2009 different from others, but as always every year is different.
Trying to draw my fursona as close to me as I could :). I love big earphones ^.^
2009 -I started reading again. Not just manuals or magazines but devouring books one after another. I love reading and I am not sure why it took me this long to really sit down and just read.
-I lost a close member of my family, my grandfather in February. It was the first death I got see and the first person that was very very close to me to see die. I was able to go go back to Colombia after being away for about 11 years. The place was great, going for such a sad occasion was not. Sad as it is, I am still reminded of him in daily activities or things I hear. Forever here and hard to let the fact set in he is gone.
-Finally took my honeymoon a year late as I was married the year previous. Went with friends and my husband of course on a cruise. I love cruises! best vacations hands down.
-I went to Germany for the first time and loved it. Same thing goes to EF, best con ever! (going back next year)
-Skipped the most amount of cons this year compared to previous years and can't say I miss it. I am happy I took a break and glad to say my next convention won't be until FWA next year :D.
-My aquariums grew and I now have 2 large tanks that are self sufficient for the most part. A very fun hobby and very cute.
-My tamagotchi love was re-sparked this year. I went from finding a few I owned a few years ago, to collecting over 100 now. I have a giant wall and a few boxes to prove it with a lot of virtual pets. Collection is always growing :D!!
-Started going to clubs and just relaxing a bit more and enjoying my life. I have been to scared of work, so scared of everything that I had turned into a hermit in my mid twenties. I slowly have realized you are only this age once, go out and have some fun.
-I am glad to say I have found true friendships. I have never been happier with the friends I have now. Friends I can count on, love and know they are genuine compared to some past fake friendships :(. Some old friends have been brought back too, differences put aside. Others well I rather them stay away ;).
-Soon being able to have normal work hours. The work will remain heavy until February, but so close I can taste it. Normal lists here we come!
-MJ died this year and that actually really bummed me out. I grew up listening to his music and always wanting to dance like him. Will always be an MJ fan <3
-Happier with my art as of late. Posting more sketches as I usually do not post so many. Comfortable posting art that is both innocent and adult.
-Happy with our costumes and the amount we have produced. We have over 240 costumes posted up to show in the gallery/LJ/flickr. We will be breaking 300 next year! (party time for sure!)
etc.....
So I hope 2010 is full of fun and surprise. I have so many things planned for next year already. I want to go do my first lock down at a haunted hospital. Going back to Europe and finally showing my husband Colombia. So much to do, so many things I need to plan, 2010 you better not disappoint :D.
Christmas is around the corner, it will be nice to enjoy a warm xmas this year for a change ^__^
