Meme: Year-End Roundup!

[stykera]

Well, it's the last weekday of this calendar year and we haven't done this meme yet. It's been slightly over a year since the last time and I felt like posting it, so here we go.


The basics:

This is gonna work like a questions meme: Players respond ICly to questions about THIS LAST YEAR OR UPCOMING YEAR. For instance, "Who's someone you're glad you met this year?" or "What are your new year's resolutions?" or "What are you looking forward to in the coming year?" All answers are IC, nothing's gained IG from this but fun.

Go forth and post and answer questions! Check back later to see if there are more questions! There is no real time limit especially in this week of liminal time.

I still don't know how old I am. This was the first year I had a birthday. Summer gave me a party and it was wonderful.

Don't let anyone know, least of all my roommate, but... sitting down to start writing my own lyrics.

It's cathartic. The best thing about it? It didn't happen to me. I just did it.

[suitably_heroic]

... probably a fight I got into with my roommate about being at Fandom too much.

You know what? It's been a pretty calm and okay year, for my standards. Huh.

[suitably_heroic]

More gigs. Playing our own music.

Finally walking away from home and the island and all that comes with it.

[suitably_heroic]

There hasn't been a lot of kissing in my life for a while now.

On purpose, mind you. I've got too much stuff to work through, first.

[suitably_heroic]

Growth.

[sword_chocobro]

Gee, that's a tough one, but I think I'm gonna have to say that being trapped in and tortured by a house for two weeks straight is pretty high up there...

[suitably_heroic]

In a big hall somewhere in the city, playing a gig to a bunch of friends, friends-of-friends and friends-of-friends-of-friends. Maybe singing some songs that terrify me.

[suitably_heroic]

Well, I started 2022 singing sad karaoke and passing out on the floor of bars. I'm ending 2023 the same way I ended 2022 and started 2023, though: in a place that feels like home, with people I care about, doing something I love.

Did a lot more work inside my head than I expected, whereas 2022 was a lot of trying to get back on my feet.

So not bad.
