2011 was an intensely action-packed year for me. My life isn't often action-packed, so I thought I'd make a list of things I did/what happened. It's more for me to remember than for any of you to read, but here you go anyway.



Last year I . . .

-began writing for an established blog (The Hooded Utilitarian)
-first read The Hunger Games (not that impressed)
-lived with my best friends as they got divorced
-learned what epidemiology is
-had conversations with my niece for the first time
-was contacted by both an agent and an editor
-first watched Supernatural
-produced and directed a play
-met the Deputy Administrator of NOAA
-went to Victoria, BC
-signed a contract with an agent and a publisher
-first (really) listened to MUSE
-hosted a panel at a con (Geek Girl Con in Seattle)
-wrote a book
-went to the PRIDE parade
-moved house
-wrote at least 12 fanfics
-shared curriculum about health I created with visitors from the CDC
-was emailed by the actor who played Omar Little on The Wire
-ceased having a working car
-had someone develop a crush on me, which has never ever happened before
-beta'ed some awesome fanfic
-first started watching M*A*S*H
-got an ipad
-realized that the last four years have changed me more than any other time of my life that I can recall

Dude, what an eventful year! I tend to let my life slide by without much self-examination, so my first thought was that I couldn't even think of one interesting thing like you've got here. Then I remembered that I posted fic for the first time, which, yeah, pretty big for me. But I will have to think some more, because it's good to give one's life shape by noting things.

I knew about The Wire, the book, the agent, etc., but I'm v. curious about the health curriculum if you ever feel like writing about it.

Also, damn: when we gonna get us some CP? I have a Laurent icon now but only over at LJ. It's pretty. There's one CP fic in Yuletide this year, btw.

That is a seriously eventful year! I hope the coming one will be filled with (lots more) awesome for you.

And thanks again for the beta; it was seriously helpful.
