Blogging Since September 2007
January 12th, 2010
Wow, last year is over… yay! Finally. Don’t get me wrong- 2009 had it’s up points but I’m glad to see it gone. I was thinking about it on New Year’s night (at work obviously) when someone asked me how my day was going. At first I was going to say I was having a bad day but then I realized my day had lasted awhile. I almost said I was having a bad week, but that didn’t quite cover it either. Month? More like months.
It was just a bad year for me. It’s a good thing though- a blessing in disguise if you want to add a cliche to it, because it just means whatever happens this year I’ll have 2009 to look back on and say ‘well, it could be worse.’ :) Purple haired people such as myself tend to be optimistic if you haven’t noticed. Well, most of the time. Once I start down the darker path I’m gone but tonight isn’t one of those nights and the dark is just an old friend with an odd way of showing his companionship.
So what’s new for me this year? Nothing much. At least not yet. I’ll have to see what happens.
My resolution: To watch more television… No, seriously. I got the idea from a commercial. I’m going to watch more television. Not because I like television- I don’t, but because I need to sit around doing nothing a little more. Not that I don’t do that enough, I’m just usually trying to accomplish something and accomplishing nothing makes me feel worse. So I’m going to try for less projects, more relaxation, finishing the projects I have started.
Sounds simple, huh? Watch me fail at this one too, lol.
I suppose this is kind of late as far as New Year’s posts go but I’ve been busy at work and other places. Kei and I started a new blog together and I’ve been catching up with posting around some other places on the net so I’ve been slacking over here. Still, I feel pretty good at how much I’ve done.
- Started Abridged Coffee, a place for our web comics (and future graphic novels) and love of the anime social culture.
- Posted on the main part of WW, I’m still not sure what direction I’m going with that part of the site. I may end up moving my blog there and turning one of my old domains into a writing site. We’ll see.
- I’ve played a lot of Sims3… perhaps you don’t count that as an accomplishment but I do. It’s all part of that relaxing and finding controllable stress thing. :)
- I read the latest Karen Chance novel. She’s my favorite author and I’ve just been counting down the days to this more recent release. So awesome.
- I’ve been reading a bunch of everyone’s blogs even if I haven’t been commenting. I’m a bit anti-social that way but I’m resolving, somewhere inside my head where post it notes don’t always get lost, to start making more comments. Oh, and I’ll be replying to comments up here a little later tonight. I always reply just not in a timely fashion.
- Thinking about changing my blogging pen name to match my pen name I use for my writing in other places. Feeby Neko. Whatcha think?
I was tweaking my template some more recently- thinking about just designing my own, when I noticed my little archives widget way down at the bottom of my sidebar. Can you believe I’ve been blogging since 2007? Really! I have 365 posts including this one and close to 2000 comments including my own replies (which actually make up less than half because I used to reply to all commenters within a single comment before we had threading).
This blog has come a long way from where it began. :) I don’t know why or how but it has and I’m glad of that because as I look through my posts I see shards of myself I couldn’t be happier sharing. Even the darker stuff.
Happy New Year everyone. Peace, love, and peanuts!
Happy new year to you too my dear. May this year be full of grand adventures for you.
Thankies, thankies! :D So far so good as far as adventures (if the editing counts) and a pretty decent New Year. I hope yours is just as eventful or even more so provided those events are good! :D
Everyone I talk to has said that 2009 basically sucked. It seems that it was a bad year for everyone (and not just because of the economy, but because it… well, it was just one of those years apparently). I hope 2010 has a better track record than 2009 did. We could all use a great year, I think. Here’s hoping it happens.
That’s what I’ve heard. Either way I’m glad to see it gone and hoping like heck that this year is at least a little better (so far so good). :) So far the year is off to a wonderful start writing wise, work still sucks, life is life, but as long as I keep pushing forward I think I’ll be doing alright and the same goes for you. :D We’ll make it through 2010 together even if we have to take turns screaming at Baby New Year next December. :)
i was ok with 2009. it was stressful in many ways but i also feel like i grew so that, to me, equals a pretty successful year.
Feeby Neko is such a fun name. my first kitty was Neko :)
Muchly agreed. I’m loath to admit it in places but despite how bad 2009 was for me it was also really good as far as learning went. It was still a hard year from me but like all the other junk in my past I’m just going to tuck it away for writing fodder later. :)
Thankies, I haven’t decided on the change yet but I know it’s going to be my pen name for some of the pieces Ree and I have been working on together.
