Horses are good company -- The Witcher

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

Dante and Aristotle Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz

So, I was sick a lot, and anxious a lot, but a lot of good things happened.

If you too would like to play kink_bingo, you can sign up at the comm! This is such a great challenge, very well-organized and thorough.

My card is under the cut!
