2011 and 2012

It's already been a year again? How quickly it passed. During the last third this blog became quite inactive, partly due to my work, but I'll try to update more regularly this coming year.

2011 has been very stressful on me personally. My health has been in the dump and my mum has gotten sicker by the day in her clever tumour which moves when they try to get rid of it. It has also made my art go in a new direction as this year passed by. I have read more, I drew more as I want to draw, I tried new things and tried drawing fan art more.

There was the convention which I sadly didn't get a table and my sister got pregnant as well as got a healthy daughter. I got a trainee place as a pre-school teacher and I randomly got 6 games I love over the year. I learned to deal with some separation anxiety when I sold  games I love for a camera I couldn't buy in the end.

In the end, I think 2011 wasn't too bad for me. Two of my friends have however had a very hard year. I really wish the two of them the best of luck next year.

My goals for the blog during 2012:
Review 13 books
Review at least 6 games (Pokémon White & HeartGold, Dissidia: Final Fantasy, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time + something more)
Change the appearance of the blog (and maybe the main website)
Review at least 2 animated shows
Review at least 2 comics

Other goals 2012:
Be on UppCon's Artist Alley
Draw a lot
Be creative
How did it go with the last year's promises/goals then?
I don't remember all my promises/goals from last year, but I definitely did well on reading more. I didn't read much more, but a little bit, at least. I also watch Olivia, which was a goal of mine.

Finally, life isn't easy, but if you find something to help you deal with hard things it'll always be better. I have my games and books to relax in between the stress from being around people or pains or any other things. Relaxing is important. I really hope I get more books and games next year. And that I get better at playing games so I can spend less time playing. And I will work on reviewing, so that the reviews won't take me all night to write! (laughs)

Happy New Year and a better year next year! Filled with games and books and all other thing you can possibly love!

Here's a small poll for you all! :)
