~*~*~*~ Happy New Year! ~*~*~*~
14 years ago
There's a part of me that wants to say that 2011 was a huge year for me, and in many ways, it was. I graduated from college, met my loving boyfriend, went to my first furmeet (and my first con), and felt like a real adult for the first time in my life. It's a good feeling.
On the flip side, though, there are so many things I want to do. The biggest thing is finding a career for myself. I've been searching for analyst and consulting positions among other things, but nothing has come up so far. For now, I'm living with my parents now. A lot of people tell me there's no shame in it, but it still doesn't sit right with me.
This isn't a time to be negative, though. I feel so, so blessed to have my friends and family. You mean the world to me, and I want to thank each and every one of you for making my year wonderful. I'm incredibly grateful for every watcher, every comment, every furson that says hi to me or hung out at MFF.
I hope that you have a wonderful and safe New Year. Life is only going to get better, and I wish you all the best. Now go get unabashedly crunk! >:3

Still here? Okay, then, you get a meme! Ganked from

1. What did you do in 2011 that you'd never done before?
Choreographed a dance for a group of people (I still need to post that >>;)
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I don't usually make resolutions, mostly because I think the vast majority of them are bullsh*t. Self-improvement doesn't happen overnight; I prefer to make the small changes where I need them. :3
3. How will you be spending New Year's Eve?
I'll be at my friend Amber's house. We went to prom together in high school, and it's a great time to catch up some of my old buds.
4. Did anyone close to you die?
I've been very lucky this year.
5. What countries did you visit?
Stayed in the US. Went next door to WI, though. That place falls right into the Uncanny Valley. =>w>=
6. What would you like to have in 2012 that you lacked in 2011?
A career. And a roommate that's also just a mate. *wink*
7. What date from 2011 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
I met
donovan on March 12th, 2011. I went back to his place a week later.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Graduation from college was a big one, especially since I did almost a whole stats minor in a semester.
9. What was your biggest failure?
No job as of yet.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
Nothing that I can remember. I'm a healthy guy.
11. What was the best thing you bought?

12. Where did most of your money go?
Don't have much money to speak of, but a lot went to college expenses. The biggest single thing was probably MFF. WORTH IT!!!
13. What song will always remind you of 2011?
"Glitter in the Air" by Pink. I first heard it January of this year, and I've been listening to it a lot lately. I'm proud to say I can answer "yes" to everything in the lyrics. Give it a listen sometime.
14. What do you wish you'd done more of?
I'm satisfied; no regrets.
15. What do you wish you'd done less of?
See #14.
16. What was your favorite TV program?
Mythbusters. ALWAYS Mythbusters. I'm so sad they're tour isn't coming anywhere near here. :<
17. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
I'm sure there is, but I usually do my best to let those people just go. The thing that squicks me the most, though, happened at a furmeet. Someone didn't bring enough money, so they told the waitress, "I don't have enough money for a tip, so can I give you a hug instead?" Grow the fuck up and learn to manage your money. That waitress is a saint. I ended up tipping her a significant amount.
18. What was the best book you read?
I'm currently reading Isolation Play by
kyell. Go buy both of his books in the series so far.
Also, I.S.O. by :codyvfrost:.
Also, The Art of Racing in the Rain.
19. What was your greatest musical discovery?
The Killers. "Hot Fuss" is one of the most amazing albums I've ever heard.
20. What was your favorite film of this year?
I'm not a huge movie guy. I guess I'd pick one of the movies I saw with Donovan.
21. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
My birthday was the 26th of October, and I turned 23. Donovan's mom made an awesome Chinese meal, and I DM'd part of my friends' campaign.
22. What kept you sane?
The good people of the world.
23. Who did you miss?
Donovan, 'cuz he's in San Diego until tomorrow. My China friends. My college friends.... a lot of people, actually.
24. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2011.
The people that love you will always be there for you, no matter what you spring on them.
25. What's the biggest thing you hope for in 2012?
2011 was very kind to me. I hope 2012 is kind to you and yours. =^w^=

You have the right thought process. Keep positive, visualize in detail what you want, including the who, what, where, when, and how. Let others know what job you are looking for as they may know others that can help. And of course, lots of resumes.
