2011 In Review, Hopes for 2012
14 years ago
So, I'm going to try and keep this as short as I can, but I wanted to make a journal reflecting on this past year, and what I hope to find in 2012. Original, right?
2011 started for me on a rather mediocre note, with nothing too special happening. I was promoted at my work, allowing me to do surgeries on my own, which is really awesome because it brings me one step closer to being a veterinarian, as well as a hefty pay raise ;D
Along the way, I met
rappyraptor at my very first furry convention, Furnal Equinox. I was at the dance, having a blast, and I noticed a guy taking pictures of my ass. We got to talking, and we've become fast friends because of it. He's a guy that I trust quite a bit, and I'm a better man for knowing him.
I also made great friends with
arius and
xthedogx, who then introduced me to
iNoby,
ardel,
patto,
canucklehead,
nayo,
arrkay...the list just goes on. Without you guys, I would be a totally different, way way more withdrawn person. Thanks for being awesome friends!
The highlight of my year for sure was March 15, 2011 when I started to date
thatheo. He's everything I want in a boyfriend, partner and mate, and while we may have the occasional argument (both him and I are way too stubborn), I love him from here to the end of the earth, and I'm looking forward to all the years to come.
Along with meeting
thatheo I got to meet a bunch of his friends on his Team Speak, with the most notable one being
glocky, who for me has turned from "that guy who loves to yell on TeamSpeak" to "that guy that I hold close to me in my circle of friends". Thanks for being there for my Glocky, and I hope I don't bug you too much ^-^;;
Camp Feral! happened for me this year, because I turned 19 in April (woo booze!). I love to camp, though I was unsure how a convention would be out in the woods. Turns out, it was amazing! This is totally a "die for" convention, and I plan on attending it as long as it runs.
On a slightly sour note, my grandmother on my mothers side passed away this year. While I didn't know her as well as I would have liked, I gather that she was someone who would put others before her, sacrificing her own personal comfort. I'm trying to take parts of her into me so that I can better myself. Thank you Nanny.
And now here we are, at the cusp of a new year. I can say that, overall, this one wasn't too bad, but I'm always hoping for bigger and better things to come. So again, thanks to all my friends, and I wish you all a safe and happy 2012!
