huhhh. that's weird.
let's see, summing up the year/decade. it was awesome? I met almost all of you guys this year? I dunno! I suck at summarizing.
ALTHOUGH. omg Criminal Minds you guys I am so happy I found this show! it is chock full of lovely comraderie and intelligence and smart smart people working to stop bad guys and fantastic portrayal of women and victims and the bad guys, who are not always bad guys so much as people-who-totally-cracked-and-really-need-help. have I mentioned how very, very hot I find competence? which everyone on this show has in spades? YEAH. and Reid is adorable and nerdy and fabulous, and Garcia is freaking hilarious and so awesome, and Prentiss omggg and Hotch! and Rossi! and Morgan! and JJ! ... yeah, I'm devolving into incoherence. it's just, I have not found a show I want to/have been rewatch(ing) this much since Avatar, and you guys know how well that show was characterized and how much sheer awesome there was in it.
if we're being serious, probably the most important thing that's happened in 2009 was meeting all of my new online friends, who have really helped me screw my head on at least straight enough that this year, I think I have a chance of working out some of my issues. I've managed to drum it into myself that I have the ability to remove myself from a situation that I know is going to go south, and that this isn't something I've made up (... still working on that one, actually, because every time I talk about it I feel guilty for dumping my crap on everyone else). And I've dealt as far as I can with the fact that my dad's not going to acknowledge his own problem and get it fixed, and I'm actually getting better at this whole regulating myself thing. not fabulous, but better. the icon on this post and my default one ("I am out of my goddamn fool mind and I am going to own this shit.") have basically been my mindsets this year. I'm kind of hoping to expand that this year to like, have a good time or something. :P
which leads to my one New Year's goal: learn to manage my time better. and yeah! that's about it for a new year.
still. I'm staying up till twelve, just so I can hi to the new year, and make it promise to be wonderful.

Date: 2010-01-01 04:38 am (UTC)I would like to state that it's been a privilege knowing you :). Not that I intend to stop knowing you now the decade's up, or anything.
I would also like to state that I am living in the future, and can report that the new decade is excellent. It has cake in it.

Date: 2010-01-02 03:31 am (UTC)It's really weird to think that I only met everyone, like, this past year or so. WEIRD. But I'm so glad I did, because it's been awesome. :D :D :D
(Also: OMG 2010. I thought we were supposed to be living on the moon by now?)

Date: 2010-01-02 12:20 pm (UTC)Happy New Year! Here's to a great fandom year ahead! (I know LJ has brightened mine in spades!)
Also...crime shows were never my thing, but all the rave reviews tell me I should be trying that one out? :p Plus, I loved Matthew Gray Gubler in (500) Days of Summer!

Date: 2010-01-03 08:52 pm (UTC)I am quite hopeful of this year! dare I say, it might even be FANTASTIC. quite fantastic, indeed.
crime shows have actually not been mine much either - besides Criminal Minds, the only other one I've liked was The Unusuals, and I've seen bits and pieces of Numb3rs, which looks nice but I haven't been able to actually get into. but yes! MGG is a ridiculously good actor, and so is, uh, EVERYONE ELSE in the show, and - well, somebody recapping the show said this - Nobody on this show, victims or bystanders or perpetrators or heroes, ever gets fixed. They just get patched up and sent out to fight again. which is exactly what I love so so much about it. I'm going to go incoherent again, but seriously. lovely, lovely show, even with the dark material on it, and one that is so worth watching.

Date: 2010-01-03 08:57 pm (UTC)me too! I know it feels slightly weird, but everyone I'm close with online except for maybe one or two I have met this past year. I'm kind of thrilled to have met you all. <3333
