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 [personal profile] thingswithwings and Rory and we watched Festivids with [personal profile] 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. ([community profile] wiscon_vidparty).

I wrote one fanfic, which was for [community profile] 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 [personal profile] fullygoldy's house and met some great folks including [personal profile] 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.

I always really enjoy your company too. :) And I'm so happy that you got Sorcha! Every time you post about her it's clear how much joy and strength she brings to your life. I know she has Dog Issues, but you're obviously so good for her.

<3! Happy new year!

Pretty damn impressive year, I'd say.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for turning me on to Lenore Look's amazing Alvin Ho series. Right now it's up among the ten best books where characters live with a disability. And funny! And tears!

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?

Better yet, at the first ever Not Another Fuckin' Disability Panel.

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?
