I don't want to write one of those year-in-review things, because:
1. 2013 was depressing in a number of ways I'd rather not revisit.
2. I spent a large chunk of it trying not to die.
3. A lot of good things happened too, but when you have one thing that takes over your life the way Maggie did for me, it's hard not to focus on that.
4. As difficult as this year was, it was a lot worse for many of my friends, and I don't want to come off as a whiner.
5. We're living in the future and yet there aren't even flying cars, I mean really.
Naturally I plan to ring in the New Year in a blissful drunken haze with lovely people and spend the first day of 2014—no really, why no flying cars?–curled up in bed wanting to die. I hope you all have equivalently fun plans, and a rad start to a year that sucks less than the last one.

Date: 2014-01-01 07:34 am (UTC)I can't believe the whole Maggie thing happened this year. For some reason, events from the first half or so of this year are, in my head, actually 2012. It makes no sense to me.
It's only understandable that you wouldn't want to do one of those year-in-review things, but you should totally do the fandom meme because I'd love to know your answers.
4. As difficult as this year was, it was a lot worse for many of my friends, and I don't want to come off as a whiner.
Having a tumour in your spine, as much as I'm in awe of your wolverine-like metal things, sounds like a very good to reason to complain and wouldn't make you a whiner.
I'm glad there are no flying cars. There would inevitably be someone who ruined all the fun for everyone.

P.S. There is Fruli in my fridge. Is it yours?

Date: 2014-01-01 09:30 pm (UTC)What is the fandom meme one? I want to do that. My answers will probably be embarrassing but I have been meaning to talk about the rampage of weird BBC shows that everyone should be watching.
