* ironed out significant portion of problems in my life. still have a few skeletons needing to be taken care of.
* moved to Belmont. house is ungodly beautiful, and living with well-off roommates
* hit up Japan again
* started hosting way more Bay Area events - weekly game nights, field trips and a LAN party coming up next month. summer was action packed
* job security increased + crazy pay bump
* ran a micro-brewery at CFT that I can start cultivating as my con event baby. Inspired to start building a set piece instead of throwing money at it like usual (unlike my Placenta party at BLFC)
* started dating again
* missing burning man 😢

Looking forward to
* backpacking in New Zealand this winter
* family cruise in October
* buying a pickup truck, table saw + work bench. focusing on handy skills for the rest of the year
* rubbing out root causes of social anxiety. closing doors that I've left open for too long
