- Experienced totality of a solar eclipse
- Saw the aurora
- Bought a rigid heddle loom and learned to weave on it
- Ran a fandom event
- Started a fansite
- Learned how to do loop-braiding
- Doubled my record for 'longest fic written' (full disclosure: this was going from 2.2k to 4.6k, lol)
- Got an amusement park season pass
- Went cross-country skiing for the first time in 20+ years
- Made metal belt-buckles (and had them actually hold up to use)
- Got an actual vintage-process tintype taken of me
- Finally accepted that I hate some types of cleaning enough to pay someone else to do them (which has been fantastic)
- Got the ball rolling on top surgery stuff
From last year's goals:
- get insulation and drywall done on the basement reno - Insulation is just about done (there's one short section that needs me to wrangle some foam board home), but drywall has not been started.
- read something in Japanese at least once a month - Inadvertantly succeeded by falling back into Touken Ranbu, which has a HUGE JP fanbase and limited international fanbase, which means a lot of fan stuff (and the game itself) is in Japanese
- practice something creative at least once a week - goal failed, lol. I think I need to set something more concrete for this sort of thing because nebulous goals are hard to keep up with.
For 2025:
- Actually get that drywall up
- Get my cosplay website up-to-date
- Set up the mini-lathe I bought last year and try turning something
- Exercise. Which is mostly get back on the body weight stuff I was doing in 2022 and the beginning of 2023, but I think also return to iaido this year. I stopped during the pandemic and then locations and times moved around and stuff, but between getting back into TKRB and my mom getting me the iaido book that's been hanging out on my Amazon wishlist for a while for Christmas, it feels like a sign.
