New year, new me? New year, new blog? Not quite. I had considered starting an all-new blog, but decided against it in the end. I did change the URL, however, and I ask that everyone (all two of you) reading this not share it with anyone else. I would prefer that only people on my Facebook friends list be able to access this blog, as that's the only place I'm sharing it. Obviously, I can't prevent anyone from sharing it, but hey. As unlikely as it is, if someone asks you to share it with them and they're not on my friends list, just ask me first. The extreme option would be to make the blog private and only accessible to those whose e-mail I've added to a list, but that's super excessive. So, hey, don't share, please?
Anyway, now that that's over with.
It's 2019! It's almost time for the twenties. I'm turning twenty-eight this year. Gah. 2018 was not a good one. I can easily say it was the worst year of my life. I lost my brother at the end of 2017 and I lost a good friend in November. But a lot of good things happened, too. We adopted two new guinea pigs, Elvira and Marigold; Theo and I saw Eddie Izzard in Chattanooga; I drove up to Columbus, Ohio to see Bruno Pelletier's second American performance; I bought a new car, a 2018 Honda CR-V; my sister, Sarah, and I got tattoos together in honor of Michael's twenty-seventh birthday; Lauren and Kat came to visit me; my mom and I met the Property Brothers, Jonathan and Drew Scott; Theo and I went to the Atlanta Comic Con and I met Rodger Bumpass, Jim Cummings, Matt Lewis, and Sean Astin; Emily and I drove up to Michigan to spend time with our family; Theo and I went to Dragon Con and I met Tom Kenny, Victor Garber, Craig Parker, Tara Strong, and Jason Isaacs; Theo and I went to the Titanic museum in Pigeon Forge; Kat came to Nashville and we saw Idina Menzel and Josh Groban together; I chopped my hair off and dyed it red; I went down to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios with Kat, Lauren, and Liz; I left Honda and started a new job in Brentwood. Listing all that stuff, I do realize that a lot of great stuff happened, but it's hard to focus on that in light of what else I went through. But hey, now I'm just hoping that 2019 will be amazing.
Lots of good things should be happening this year. We're going to try to sell our house and buy a new one. We're seeing both Shinedown and Disturbed in concert. Who knows what else will happen? Hopefully good things! I'll try to go back to posting at least once a month in this blog, but we'll see how that works.
