I am reading back through my journal in order to look over my year. A year is a long time!
In January I got to see
thingswithwings and Rory and we watched Festivids with
were_duck. Twings and Rory came back through in February, and I really enjoyed their company, and Twwings said the fateful words, "You should get a Greyhound!" I did.
In April I adopted my Greyhound Sorcha. Best decision ever! Since then I've gone to the dog park regularly and my life has been much happier.
I worked on my anxiety in therapy and worked on forming more queer friendships.
All year, variously, I tried to improve my GI symptoms, culminating with food quest in the summer, during which I did some ridic food restrictions. None of this actually worked. It seems that for me, trying to get better doesn't help.
In May I went to WisCon as usual. I presented a themed vid show called "The Abuse of Authority", on violence and power, at the vid party. (
wiscon_vidparty).
I wrote one fanfic, which was for
kink_bingo. I watched a whole lot of movies and TV.
In June I started having trouble with my joints, and eventually I got diagnosed with Rhuematoid Arthritis. Hey, it's my first actualfax diagnosis!
In August I went to a fan meet up at
fullygoldy's house and met some great folks including
devildoll. We watched a lot of vids and ate great food.
For the first time, I exhibited my photos: at a staff/faculty show at work. This was fun.
I totally pwned in a comment.
I played a lot of Glitch, and then mourned its ending.
In November I started dating someone.
Best movies:
End of Watch
Premium Rush
Best Books:
Dante and Aristotle Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz
The Alvin Ho series by Lenore Look
So, I was sick a lot, and anxious a lot, but a lot of good things happened.
In January I got to see

I wish someone had saved the #fannishCV thread, cause a) I'd love to see it and b) might it be the germ of a panel?

Date: 2012-12-31 10:56 pm (UTC)The Fuckin' Race panels I've attended have made me lose my mind laughing so hard, so I can't remember their structure. AFAIC recall, Sparky wanders a back and forth and people tell hilarious stories. Can you recall more detail?
