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! :)

It's Christmas Day morning...
It's Day morning. In other countries children open their gifts around this time of the day. But here in Sweden Christmas is celebrated on the Eve and so I got my gifts yesterday. But before that, the day started with me waking up at 8 am and then watching some telly until the Christmas Peace is announced. From that on it was playing Pokémon White for a good 3 hours before I woke my mum up, as she went to rest for a bit before we were going to my sister's.
At 2.30 pm my sister's boyfriend came to pick me, my mum and my brother up and we took the around one hour trip to their house. There we ate dinner, watched some more telly, sang songs, tried to keep my 2 month old niece entertained because she was so tired she just started crying if it got boring, exchanged gifts and then my brother took part in a local tradition. He's completely out now, sleeping in his bedroom, in which I'm sitting and writing this entry while guarding my cat, as I don't want him to eat my brother's toes up.
So what did I get?
Let's start what I gave away. To my brother I gave my old tablet, which he really wanted, and a volume of Battle Angel Alita and Skip Beat together with my mum; To my sister, her boyfriend and their daughter I gave two boxes of chocolate together with the rest of the family and two hand-painted boxes I personally painted; To my mum I got a book. I can say all were happy about the gifts.
Then to what I got... I got two films (My Neighbour Totoro and The Black Cauldron) as a joint gift from my mum and my brother and random-access memory and Crisis Core: Final Fantasy from my brother; my sister got me Pokémon HeartGold; my mum gave me four of her paintings and two picture frames with the promise of giving me two more.
My mum also got two other books, and one of them is the first book from the series The Wheel of Time, which means I might sit down and read it in the close future. I have as a goal to read and review 13 books next year. I also hope to review some games. On my list of games I need to play (and which I have a console to) and review are as follows Pokémon White, Pokémon HeartGold, Dissidia: Final Fantasy, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII and Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. More about my plans closer to the new year.
How was your Christmas? Mine was, in the end, surprisingly good. I don't like Christmas, so I don't usually find it good or fun, but this year honestly was fun.
