I have been terrible about keeping up with livejournal. You all live in my heart and I am sorry for this. Maybe I'll be better. Maybe I won't. I'll try?

I just wanted to document this day because it's been long and weird and fangirl-devastating. Sooo. Here's a list.
- Woke up too late.

- Left for work too late.

- Story time: got in the car and turned on my ipod and Why Can't I Fall In Love by Ivan Neville came on random. The song is from Pump Up the Volume and I've always been obsessed with it, it's so sexy and argghh. This led me to think about the song from Gone in 60 Seconds, Painted on my Heart by the Cult. I wondered if I had it on my playlist because it's an awesome song and also very sexy, if you just don't think about Angelina Jolie and Nicholas Cage making out. Anyway, after Why Can't I Fall In Love plays, the next song is by Eve 6, and then the very next song was...Painted on my Heart. And I just can't get over it because I have hundreds of songs in my playlist and how could it possibly play the song I was just thinking about like that?! The only explanation I can think of is that my new car and I are so connected that it read my mind! Yes, I know how that sounds. But how else can it be explained?!

- There was a huge CSI episode on tonight and Jorja Fox did a Q&A on twitter. I asked her if she was still committed to the GSR after 13 years. And she answered me! And said she will always be committed to the GSR. This excited me so hard in my fangirl heart. I have written so much GSR fanfic and have been devoted to the cause for almost 8 years now, so her answering my question about it was just...yeah. Wow.

- And tonight's episode was devastating to a GSR fangirl. I can't believe they split up, I just cannot and will not believe it. 13 years of building their story together and it comes down to this mess. Get your shit together, writers. This can't be the end. Guhhh.

Oh, also I worked and that was annoying and I forgot to send out a file and that was stupid and I worked out and that was intense and also I ate too much and that was dumb.

That's really all I want to say today. You all live in my hearts, and rock on.

Happy New Year, y'all. I hope 2013 is pleasant and stress and drama-free for everyone. I'm sure it won't be but it's a nice wish to have, right?

Last year at this time I was in Vegas and I was going to see GNR for the third time in a year. This year I'm at work. Then I'm going to Josh's, who will probably be going to sleep around 7:00. So I will spend the evening on the sofa with two dogs watching the entirety of season 5 of Sons of Anarchy, which I guess I can't really complain about. This show...it owns my soul right now. I have never seen a show that is so damn good with continuity and the world it has built for itself. Kurt Sutter is my spirit animal.

This year was not particularly enjoyable and I'm ready to start a new one. Highlights of this year:
- Wound up in the hospital with gallstones, had to get them removed, now I can't eat ice cream. Fun!

- Josh was sick and lost a lot of weight. But now that he's on some good medication, he's still not a hundred percent, but he can at least eat without wanting to die. He still needs to see the GI doctor but who knows when we'll manage to get that appointment. I'm just glad the meds are working and we don't have to constantly worry about it anymore.

- Almost got fired by managing to spoil an entire fandom on a plot point that wouldn't happen for almost an entire month after I opened my idiot mouth. Oops?

- I wrote my longest story ever, 70,000 words, and it was fanfic for the Big Bang Theory. I'm proud of this, yes, but I'm also sad that I can't create my own characters and write about them nearly as much as I did with Sheldon and Penny. I have considered myself a writer since I was eight years old. I can do this and yet I choose not to. So exasperating.

- I did not lose weight. I did not write a novel. I turned 33 years old. My clock is ticking out of control and that's annoying because I'm not even sure I want kids/should have kids/am able to have kids. I did hardly anything with my photography. Pretty much, I was a lazy sack of crap and I hope to improve that situation in 2013.

- Things I discovered/obsessed myself with - The West Wing (again), Big Bang Theory/Sheldon and Penny (like I needed another OTP), Reddit, Sons of Anarchy, the Nerdist podcast/Chris Hardwick...yep.

I always like to say that I don't want to have any resolutions, but I do find myself wanting/wishing for a few things in 2013. It's only natural to look at a new year and want to improve things, right?

- I want to lose weight. This has been a resolution for about 20 years. I don't know why I think I can do it this year, other than the fact I absolutely have to if I want to have any measure of self-esteem ever again.

- I would really like to start dressing better. I pretty much dress like a college student at all times. Today I am wearing a Batman shirt, blue jeans that I wear almost every day that are torn on the bottom, and my maroon Doc Martins that I have had since college. I want to find a different pants situation and I want to wear skirts more. I just don't know how to accomplish this but it's been on my mind a lot lately. I am an adult. Time to start dressing like one.

- I want to at least think more about my photography situation. Ideally I want to at least talk to a few pet photographers in the area and see what I need to do to make things happen. I'm not sure I can make it a lasting career but at least I can make it more than a hobby.

- I want to get better at small talk/make new friends. I am terrible at both of these things. But if I have to spend another year of Saturday nights on my couch writing fanfic and watching That Metal Show instead of having people to hang out with at least every now and then, I will scream. Loudly.

- Write. That's it...just...write.

- And I would like to be a better friend/daughter/family member. First of all, I've had two people unfriend me here on LJ in the last week. I'll be better, I swear! You are all important to me. Also, my dad makes me crazy but he's getting older and I know he kind of feels neglected by the family; like he has to make all the plans and provide all the entertainment. I need to do my share. And I really need to learn all my family member's birthdays and send birthday cards to everyone. I feel like that's kind of important, right?

Anyway...I have just really talked about myself. A lot. So I will shut up now. I hope you all have a pleasant evening, don't drink and drive, spend it with someone you love, and rock on.
