Title says it all.

As for me, I have...
- Rediscovered my appreciation of math and science
- Taken the SAT (thank God that's over)
- Discovered AS and joined WP
- Completed my junior year of high school
- Passed the test for my drivers license on the first attempt
- Bought my first car
- Done far more introspection than anyone would deem necessary
- Taken my first college course, and received an A
- Changed my perspective of life in general
- Made a few more online friends, and have improved my social status at school

It's hard to believe all that happened less than 365 days ago.

Absolutely nothing. Yet I'm exhausted.

More disappointment trying to find help for myself
Got hurt by another aspie that seemed to pretend to be a friend
People at work lying to me
no real friends in real life

I completed two semesters of college (and managed to pass two very challenging courses, of which I am proud); I discovered new information on my ancestry; I got clearer ideas of what kind of career I want to pursue; I turned 20 years old; I came out on Facebook to all my non-related friends; and that's about all worth mentioning.

Lost weight
returned to school
learned to cook
got into a relationship with my true love of 3 years ... :heart:

Sorry. Where was I? :drunken:


SHOOT! I totally forgot about the Christmas emoticons, and it's already over!
Else, I'd have been using them all month.

Well. To make up for it:


:santa: :rendeer:

- Began to study accountancy;
- became the best pupil in my class, despite my unorthodox method of learning (I do not do everything teachers ask; only things I find useful);
- quit my job at the supermarket (I really disliked that job);
- became an intern at a very large bank;
- became respected in my job, despite being a socially awkward intern;
- lost contact with my friends from my previous job (as always);
- lost my three cats in a span of seven months (by far, the worst thing that happened this year);
- lived two weeks without my grandmother (a real blessing: a hate the old hag), only to have her move back in;
- deleted my OkCupid account, which is a way of saying I finally gave up on dating.

Overall, the year had its ups and downs. Despite everything that happened, my mind is still a mess and I still feel like an outsider observing the world.

Good question. Sadly, I am going to have to think about it. I am hoping for better results next year. :?

Got a divorce
Moved out on my own
Moved deeper into alcoholism
Took up, quit, then took up smoking again
Got a Bearded Dragon
Started meditating again
Pulled out my old Tarot cards and started using them again
Took crocheting back up
Started writing again
Was nearly raped
Reconnected with my family


Not in any particular order, and some things I wish not to make public. It's been an eventful year, to say the least.

Lots of beginnings and endings there, TEGH. Change is usually good. Sorry to hear about the near assault.



I kept fighting. That is about the only thing I can really credit myself with. Like I said I need to get better results for the effort.
Might need to figure out a better way of doing things.
