Happy New Year! Another year has passed already! I was rereading my post last year to see what I said and I realized that while 2008 had been such a joy for me, 2009 just...wasn't. I'm not going to go emo, and bore anyone with the details. I'm just saying that for me and my family this year has been a tough one.
But besides all the sad/bad things things there were a lot of good things that happened to me this year too.
The biggest one being that I got my first job, and while it's still a job and sometimes it's the last thing I feel like doing, I really truely love it. I'm overjoyed to work where I do and I don't think I'd be this happy anywhere else. So I'm very grateful.
I've also gotten into a lot of different series this past year that I love. The Stephanie Plum novels by Janet Evanovich being a huge one. Then there's Bones (was that only this year?), Criminal Minds, The Closer, and many more I might be forgetting.
Anime-wise I got to watch some series on my own, and I watched a lot with a great friend. Because of her I experienced Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo which I normally wouldn't have watched if I had been picking the series myself. I also fell in love with the show Baccano! I could list tons and tons of series I've watched and enjoyed but those are the few that I wanted to mention.
I've also read piles of manga this year. I think it was this year that High School Debut ended. It was also this year that I picked up on Dengeki Daisy, Kimi Ni Todoke, and Kaichou wa Maid-sama. I'm looking forward to continuing reading Faster than a Kiss, and Karin (whenever they update it) and all the other series I started.
In regular books (besides Stephanie plum) I've read great series like The Haunted Bookshop Mysteries, Jaine Austen Mysteries, and the Dixie Hemmingway mysteries. This year I rediscovered how much I love the mystery genre. Not just computer games, but BOOKS. I was also disappointed that Young Adult books severely lack in the mystery genre. You can hardly find any! I also continue to enjoy the Morganville Vampire series, and anxiously await the next Kitty Kitty book by Michele Jaffe.
I can't think of any games that left a huge impact on me this year, but I continue to carry my fandoms of the Ace attorney games, Professor layton, and the Tales of series. Playing Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks was a great way to end the year. Especially since I think it was one of the best games of the year.
I really do feel like I've done a lot this year. I watched movies, had fun with my mom, drew, chatted with friends, grew apart from friends, and got to know new ones.
I joined websites, procrastinated, played games, saw plays, smiled, laughed, cried, grumped, joked, and just tried to enjoy what free time I had by doing what I love.
I have also gotten to experience the joys and woes of having puppies in the house. They have brought such joy into the house. There really isn't anything quite like a dog.
Now, I have a few resolutions for this year --
- Try to be more confident in myself and my abilities.

- Try to be more confident in myself and my abilities.
- Improve myself in the things I love. (i.e. drawing, AMV making, writing)
- Stop worrying so damn much.
- Keeping my room CLEAN. I MISS MY FLOOR!
Those are just some that I've been thinking about today.
And there are a few things I'm looking forward to this coming year. Later this month (if all works out) I'll be going to Setsucon. In February Ace Attorney: Investigations comes out. Kaichou wa Maid-Sama the anime will be premiering sometime in the Spring. I'm also planning on attending Otakon this Summer as well!
All in all, I feel like I have done a lot of growing and maturing this year. I'm far from being an adult, but I feel more grown up. And as much as I don't want to turn 18 later this year I'm not scared anymore.

Let's see what the future brings, yes?
