And so, we come again to the close of another year. 2011 was a big one for me personally. I hate to bore you all, so I'll make it short n sweet.

Without a doubt, the highlight was June. My second Anthrocon proved to be better then the first. I tried to socialize more, get out and do more. Having my new suit from  erisvalgen certainly helped, as it allowed me to bring Shayde to life better. Special thanks goes out to  linkinmonroe and  jasonamora for once again putting their sanity on the line and hanging out with me.

And then...we finally met. I spent 4 amazing days in MA with my wonderful mate  lonewolf277 I'll never forget anything about those days. Walking along the beach at 2am, petting him as he slept in my arms...and seeing him for the first time is etched into my memory. I'll never forget it.

I've started working on changing my body, as well. I'm sick of being average and blah. I want to be better...I want to look more like Shayde...and I have six months to achieve that.

Beyond that, my life remains as usual. Boring. I'm struggling to reclaim my muse, and I feel awful for not producing any work for months. My job keeps me busy, and leaves me with little time to write or indeed talk to my friends. But I know its all temporary. Soon, I'll be moving out of home and into a place with Lone, and we can be together again. I wait for that day with bated breath.

So as the calendar resets again, so closes my 3rd year as an active furry. In exactly one week, I'll be clocking a quater of a century on this planet...those grey hairs are starting to show on this old labbie's muzzle, hehe...

So I bid you all a wonderful 2011, and hopefully 2012 will be all you wish it to be. Broken hearts can always be fixed, provided you allow someone to help pick up the pieces, so don't be depressed for too long should you find yourself in such a position.

Love you all, you crazy bunch of furs! Cya in 2012, and AC!
