Happy New Year theOtaku!!<33 I love you guys so much and I hope you all are having a fabulous time on this New Year's Day! I can't believe it's already 2012 haha, so much has happened in 2011 and now it's a new start once again! I can't help but feel excited each time the new year rolls around ^^
So resolutions from last year, let's see how I did!
- Continue to work on improving my art! During my hiatus, I finally came to the understanding of challenging myself to improve myself against myself only, and not compare to anyone else! I really want to go far and see what I can do!
-I haven't completely come into this state of mind yet, but I definitely understood the idea of challenging myself and I tried that a little for 2011 ^^
It's a start and I'm happy for that! - Get into shape! At least..more into shape anyway xD
-Yes!~ Not at my goal yet, but on my way ^^ - Figure out the meaning of the word "appreciation". It seems that I still don't understand it yet according to my parents =/
-I think I understand it a LITTLE more now, but I've got a ways to go! - Don't fail college xD
-I haven't so far!! All A's and an A- for my first semester and I'm happy! ^^ - MORE ART. 'nuff said xD
-More than 2010, at least! haha I think I need to work harder though xD
Resolutions for 2012!<3
- Focus on myself more! I need to learn to take care of myself and understand myself better little by little, both in art, health and life in general!
- Work harder on experimenting, backgrounds and a variety of poses! And post more art in general~!
- Perform at one Open Mic for Singer-Songwriter club at my university!
- Set little goals so I can achieve big ones on the way!
- EDIT: Create a picture worthy of 100+ votes! >.< I doubt I'm ever going to get that high of a number anytime soon, but hey it can't hurt to dream right? haha
- SHOW MY APPRECIATION TO YOU ALL MORE!<3 I feel like I've been taking some of the people I know for granted, and I have to work harder on being less selfish and lazy >.<
Things that happened to me in 2011:
-Got into my first issue with the DMV Office xD
-Went to Las Vegas, Yosemite National Park and the Grand Canyon for the first time!
-Flew on a plane by myself for the first time!(to Korea at that!)
-Learned to play piano more by ear
-Completed my first semester in college!
-Drew my first sketched lineart pic and first monochrome color pic!
-Got into Glee xD
-Crushed on a guy I totally did not expect to crush on xD
-Made many new friends and learned to appreciate the subtle things on theOtaku and DA much more!
-Beat Yiazmat on FFXII!
-Talked to and became friends with several of my favorite artists-->gained a whole new perspective on how to interact with people!
And a whole bunch of other stuff I believe but I'm going to be going for forever if I go down the whole list xD I also watched Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows yesterday and I saw New Year's Eve a while back(as well as Breaking Dawn part 1 LOL)!
Thank you everyone for a FANTASTIC 2011! I've got a picture coming up for you all soon, and after all gifts are submitted for the SS event I shall have the list posted as well of all participants/their pairings and respective gifts!
I'm VERY excited about this new year!<3 Don't hold back everyone, make it better than the last!
