My 2008 can be mostly summed up with "Writing. Must write", with occasional sprinklings of "Iiiiieee, words gone!" Peoples, I wrote a book! I'm still a bit astonished by that thought.
2008 also included travel (mostly to Disney theme parks, which made me happy, but was not the Stroppy One's favorite choice of destinations), visiting friends, seeing a lot of concerts (MCR, Peter Murphy, Cobras, SOM, Amanda Palmer, and I'm sure I'm forgetting a few), and feeling more comfortable in my day job.
2008 was also the year of ... oddball media opportunities for me. There was the Microspotting interview and meeting Ariel (who is amazingly cool and awesome, and I hope I can hang out with her in 2009), the MSDN Channel 9 video interview, the photo in BUST magazine, and writing for the TOKYOPOP Gothic & Lolita Bible.
2008 included a lot of concern and worry about friends who were having rough times (and hoo-boy, is that an understatement), and a lot of anxiety about politics (which no, I didn't really talk about here, because I pretty much DON'T talk about politics in my LJ).
So! 2009! The year my book is published! (Why yes, I am cherishing fantasies of the GCS book becoming a best-selling hit. I don't know how likely those fantasies are, but they're nice daydreams.) I fervently hope and wish that 2009 is better to all of us than 2008 was. Even if you had a pretty good 2008 (as I did), I hope 2009 is better.
