2016's Death...
8 years ago
WE INTERRUPT THIS YIFFING WITH A WORD FROM OUR FOX

2016... Wow. What. A Year. What can be said about 2016 that hasn't been mentioned already? I mean this has got to be one of the most turbulent years in recent memory! With all the artist deaths among media, the social unrest, both internal and external, and of course, the politics.
Wow.
It's be no exaggeration to call this year among the most hectic yet.
For me personally though...? ...The sentiments are the same. 2016 has got to be the most eventful and important year of my life yet for so many reasons I'll get in to. I mean hooooly shit. I knew this year was gonna be big. But this big? Holy shit. Where do I even start!? Oh yeah. January of course...
So uh...
JANUARY
The year didn't really start off too eventful though. January was more of a preparation sort of month. It was in January that we initially planned to move and all this nonsense while I continued working at Walmart and yadda yadda. Well it was also at the end of the month that I officially announced my Winter's Gallows project that I had been working on since the past October in 2015 after being cheated on. I am still committed to finishing to this day despite everything in the way.
FEBRUARY
And it begins. At the start of February, I found out the move date and had to prepare forthwith to anticipate it. That date being, the 26th.
Or so it was SUPPOSED to be... I mean jeezus, things couldn't have gone more awry. If you want more info, then check this journal. But long story short, we didn't get out until the 28th. >:( We would cross the border into the following month before we get to our destination...
Also in Febs, was the announcement of Pokemon Sun and Moon. Wow. That long ago now huh...
MARCH
We arrive in Sierra Vista, Arizona, where I would live to this day right now, almost 10 months later. But yeah... for a HUGE chunk of March, I was without internet or any solid way of communicating with you guys... Yeah... Essentially march was our "trying to settle down" month. It was... rocky. I still think it's complete BS that you can't get a job without a place of residence. AND VICE FUCKING VERSA. That is NOT OKAY. Also anyone remember the great atrocity card flood? I do and... I still feel bad for letting that happen...
Bleck.
APRIL
April was probably the quietest month of this year... When this month comes to mind, all that I can think is... ...getting to know the town I was now in... That's about it. Probably the most noteworthy thing is a shiny Buizel in Pokemon finally hatching after 7 months of hunting but that's about it, eh?
Although I do have to say that our financial troubles began when we first tried to get down here. Because of the delays, we ended up wasting more money trying to rectify everything. That trouble began to grow more obvious this month...
MAY
Oh boy, May.... Yeah this wasn't a good month. I think y'all would remember why... This was when I felt forced to hit the panic button and call for help. And... well, I'll admit to you that I actually did have SOME money to fall back on, BUT! But... I knew that it was all gonna poof poof away... and damn it I was right. Had I not gotten the help I called out for, I'd... probably not be here at all right now...
It just figures that not long after SOSing the fandom, I get a job interview scheduled at the death of the month...
Still... it all mattered in the end. Good lord. I seriously need to thank each and everyone who helped. So uh... thank you! ...I'm not good at this.
One GOOD thing about this month, was that I finally got to meet my boyfriend in person for the first time! ^^
...Haven't been able to do it again since though... :(
JUNE
I go back to Walmart, yay... ...
Pffffbbbtttt... Fucking hell. I am not happy that things had to end up THAT way, but yeah. They have. But this was something that needed to happen. Unfortunately. I have to cut my losses and just accept it.
Still haven't!
Okay, so June wasn't really important for much else, other than the release of Star Ocean 5 at the end of the month. I had been waiting since April 2015 for it... and... well... it's a piece of shit. Worse than No Man's Sky by far. It deserves its 5/10 rating! Jeezus! What have they done to my beloved franchise!? No!
But one good thing? The reveal of my sixth fursona, William Perow, the Snow Leopard that represents determination and resilience.
JULY
...Okay so maybe July was more uneventful. Maybe I feel that way because tensions were rising between me and my mom regarding the whole money situation. This... caused my depression to spike something horrible in July. I dunno who noticed this besides the boyfriend, but yeah. It was not good.
Especially with Star Ocean 5 failing me at nearly every turn and new job being a total bitchloid for various reasons.
July wasn't fun Although compared to the entirety of 2014, July 2016 looked like February 2013. Which means July wasn't that bad at all in comparison...
Bleck. I guess...
Oh yeah and Aegis of Iridescence, I guess... I will return to that project when Winter's Gallows is finished.
AUGUST
It was decided. Because my mom had lost her job sometime this month, fully, and that it was impossible for her to find a new one... she uh... kinda had to go, or we both would have gone off the deep end... ...that and I needed to focus on raising money to get to my boyfriend who lived 150 miles away! ARGH! This is what we get, for landing in Sierra Vista, Arizona instead of the Phoenix area! All sorts of shit! Bah... Lower crime rate and lower temperatures, my tailhole! I'll weather anything for the one I love...
And that is kind of what I am doing right this very moment...
Anyways, August was another relatively uneventful month. Kinda the same as July really... ....Only even more tense.
SEPTEMBER
I just said that 2016 was the most eventful year yet. The last two months have been so boring!
Oh wait! It's September to the rescue!
Holy shit this month.
Wow. Where do I EVEN BEGIN?!
Oh. I know... Let's just say that this month, raped my savings. Big time. For way more reasons than I CAN COUNT. Now ya see why I hit the panic button in May? It was all in anticipation for this moment. After the rent was paid at the end of the month, I HAD A WHOPPING $3 LEFT IN MY ACCOUNT. Could NOT have cut it more close if we tried! Like holy shit! How can that be!? L-Like I said... if not for the help I got in May/June... I'd be... ...Let's not think about that...
This month... also saw the departure of my mother, whom I lived with for 19 years, 8 months, and 4 weeks. And I have been living without her since, for the past 3 months, 2 weeks, 4 days.... Yup. Independent fox. For the most part. I do have a roommate who's helping me cope with the bills and such and we're helping each other save more money and yadda yadda.
Gah... I remember there was a promise at the 2015 death journal... that I would go to a con/meet this year.
Welp, September was my chance, but as I said. Ultimate. Money. Carnage.
AND to round out the end of the month, we have the breaking down of my laptop charger of which I STILL have to replace... ...once I find out what I need specifically that is...
OCTOBER
More money carnage. Though thank the hellish lords above that it was not as bad as the previous month. Work settled down too, only to start back again the following month. Which made me a very upset fox. Also in October, I come to terms with my loneliness and problems that I've had within the fandom itself. I decided that I needed to find a way to... not be an awful presence here, which I still feel like. 'Course, I did not make those feelings known until November, but that's because... I don't like sharing my feelings abroad anymore. Remember, Klaus the otter, represents my increasing reticence.
In October, I released an official reference sheet drawn by me for Aero the fox. ...I WOULD have made ones for my other characters, but my fucking pen broke and now I cannot.
BLECK!
NOVEMBER
Pokemon Sun and Moon!
Employee of the month (THE HELL!?)
The goddamn election..
And a total bitchloidal switch around with the structure of work at work. Which royally fucked me over a bit. ...Hopefully things are getting better in THAT regard, but uh... ...pleh.
Other than that, I've been starting to make a slow and steady recovery in regards to my money situation. I've stabilized for the moment and if my damn roommate would pay his rent, I'd actually be in good shape! He owes me so much >:(
It's not like I don't understand why... it's a long story, but in the end, whatever. Just wish he would just stop putting it off SO DAMN MUCH. GRR.
DECEMBER
I leave adolescence behind forever... Is it bad, that I am actually kind of missing it already? ...Probably. But I guess what matters is that I am young at heart.
Anyways December was another kind of eh, month. Just kinda biding out what's left of the time before the year ends...
If anything, December was full of Sun and Moon, the Secret Santa projects on IB, trying to deal with work, work, and work some more, blehegh.
I dunno what to say anymore other than. December also was the instigation of me... well... plotting stuff not only for 2017, but the years abroad.
UPDATE!!! 12 hours after uploading this recap, uh... my boyfriend and I... are kinda... ...no more. So yeah. Single fox. Yaaay... What. A way. To end. This year. Losing my entire purpose to be in Arizona...
And ya know what? It doesn't even hurt THAT bad... I've just gotten so used to the heartache and heartbreak that... I'm beginning to build an immunity to it!
That doesn't change the fact that I am all alone again so...
BLEEEECCKKK
And that would be it... 2016.
Like I said. What. A. Year.
For me personally, I can't say 2016 was a good or bad year. The only way I can say for sure is if I find out what the results of ALL that I have done this year come to be... And I may not find that out until as late as 2018! Yeah... We're talking some serious long term shizzles here.
LOTS of goals to try and reach in 2017! Can I reach 'em?! We'll see as the year changes once again...
Happy New Years, friends. May your 2017 be better than this... ...very interesting... ...year...
