I'm not too good at looking like I am here, but however elusive, I am re-emerging slowly like a lazy animal pulling itself from water. I'm trying to think of the things I've done this year, its hard when you don't journal, they escape your fingers. So, I turned to the paper journal entry I wrote this time last year, and the scattering of entries I wrote this year to try to summarise.

I wondered what it was like to love me, I wondered if I'd lose hope in my own
I saw Cinematic Orchestra, Kings of Leon, Fleetwood Mac
Got in touch with the familiarity of sadness and sickness
Passed a year of University
I was published in Voiceworks, Verandah, Avant and for the first time read my works at The Dan O'Connell, The Spinning Room @ ET's Hotel and collaborating with music group called Alea.
I got an Editor position with Verandah Literary Journal, #25 [This means, if you're a writer, I will be a pest]

There aren't many entries for 2009. I didn't journal these events. I wrote about misunderstandings, poetry bones, pictures, the way I felt about certain occurrences. I think that's the way a journal should be. I don't know what 2010 will hold, but I know it will be busy bee and I know it will be hard. People often look at me and wonder how anything could be hard for me, but I guess it's subjective. I have to look forward to [in no particular order]:

Graduating from my BA of Arts
Publication of Verandah 25
Big Day Out Concert[Muse, Groove Armada, Peaches??]
Placebo Concert
Our Anniversary
Publications
Rejections

And for my new year resolutions last year, they were:

Get prose published [I totally failed]
Get into University [win]
Grow nails [win]

My goals this year are:

Get my P's so I can drive
Publications
Finish University
Take a dancing class

That's about it. What were your resolutions? What are they now, did you suceed?

<3 Happy new year, I hope it carries you into new opportunities.
