It's interesting to see how things in life change. Certainly, 2011 is shaping up to be immensely superior to 2010; if nothing else, it had a brilliant start, as I spent new year with my partner  hazelwolf, as well as seeing a good number of other friends.

I've always been curious how people's characters evolve, too. Sometimes you see a bazillion pictures of someone's fursona and every detail is always precisely the same. It seems inflexible to me; every picture I've had done of Zephyr has been at least slightly different, the interpretation by different artists always yielding different results, and even the same artist can look at different facets at different times.

I've actually been wondering if I should get some of my forms from Second Life drawn, seeing as I've been going on there rather frequently of late, and intend to learn the system, with the help of a few books. I don't feel so much attached to those, although they still have my own sense of style, and will certainly be unique when I work out the intricacies of modification.

Relationships have evolved for me too; 2010 was the first time that I had two different partners in the course of a year, and although I'm sad that things between Balkor and myself didn't work out so well, it's reassuring to know that we still get on well as close friends. I'm hoping we can spend some time together in person. As for things with Hazel, I couldn't ask for a better situation; all being well, we'll spend time together this weekend.

I've more confidence in myself, and I'm optimistic about the future. There's a lot of things I want to accomplish this year, and I genuinely feel like I'll be able to achieve my goals. Generally speaking I'm enjoying life a lot more; though it's not without irritations, and I still have certain disadvantages that I doubt I'll ever fully overcome, I'm managing a lot better.

Hope all of you lovely people had a great new year, and I wish you the best for 2011. I've some art on the way, so there'll be a few new things to post soon.
