my dreams remind me of an ocean

1. Read 100 books. That’s right. 100. (This didn’t happen, but I did read 72, which is quite a few in and of itself.)
2. Go on a road trip. (Nashville!)
3. Don’t date anymore slackers/asshats. (Granted, I didn’t date anyone, but baby steps, I suppose.)
4. Get into an awesomely fantastic college that you’ll love. (Emerson?) (Got into every college I applied to, and did end up going to Emerson.)
5. Finish watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Office and Avatar: The Last Airbender. (Didn’t finish The Office, but watched Angel, How I Met Your Mother, Dollhouse, Pretty Little Liars, and some Skins and Doctor Who. Good enough, I say.)
6. Lose at least 10 pounds. (Yeah, no. That was pretty ambious.)
7. Get another piercing/tattoo. (I realized that I don’t want another piercing, and damn, tattoos are expensive.)
8. Blue hair. Definite must. (I had my blue hair for about 2 months in the summer. It was more green, but whatever. It was boss, and I miss it.)
9. Go to Leakycon.(Went, and it was absolutely amazing.)
10. Finish Argus Filks. (We pwned this CD. You can listen to it here.)
    
11. GET MY LICENSE. (Yeah, this didn’t happen either.)
    
12. Develop more of a personal style. (Still working on this.)
    
13. Finish at least a first draft of a novel. (Preferably The Unfortunates.) (Although I’ve made tremendous bounds in my writing this year, finishing a novel was not one of them.)
    
14. Win a writing contest. (Unfortunately, I didn’t really end up applying to many, so this didn’t end up happening.)
    
15. Win at least one scholarship. (Ditto.)
    
16. Start writing fan fiction again. (You can read what I’ve written so far here.)
17. Learn to play the ukulele. (After I found out about my carpal tunnel, I was too scared to try this.
18. Get 500 followers on my reblog Tumblr and 100 followers on this one.(I’m totally happy with the way this panned out.)
19. Keep in touch with my best friend Patty. (Done. :))
20. Step out of your comfort zone and meet a bunch of amazing people at college. <3 (I’ve met a couple of amazing people, but I’m still quite shy.)

Although it was kind of depressing filling this out, I’m more than happy with how this past year has gone. I’ve come a very long way, and I finished about half of these, which is better than I thought I would be able to say.

I’ll be posting my 2012 New Year’s Resolutions tomorrow once I finish writing them. Have a great start to 2012, everybody! <3
