Hey all, how's it going? Remember me? Mr. Drama Queen!!!! Hope everyone is enjoying Star Wars TOR or whatever game you're playing. Me, you ask? I'm still playing WoW, just not as much.
But enough about that. The real reason I'm here today is to look back on 2011. What a ride 2011 was, and 2012 looks to be even bigger. 2011, as every year, started out with a lot of goals and uncertainties. It started out with more work. The person I work for entered a new sytem, and I got more hours because of it, for a total of 53 hours a week. No overtime pay.
I was in my first theatrical play (and perhaps my last). It was fun and all, but there are bigger things on the horizon.
In February, the person I take care started going to a day program, which I went to with him. There, that's where my life changed, just not until later, which I will explain later, if you're still reading this.
Things seemed a bit slow for awhile through the spring time. I was rehearsing for my second theatrical play, but I was just doing too much with it. I'd get there before everyone and set up, often times missing dinner. We'd stay later than expected, because a lot of people didn't know their lines, so it got to be very strenuous. I became very sick on opening night. As in go to the hospital and spend 5 days there sick, missing all of the performances. That's what happens when you over work yourself.
During the first half or three quarters of the year, I fought with depression on different levels. Many of you helped me through those times, and I thank you.
But something started happening at the day program I mentioned earlier. I started developing feelings for one of the girls that worked there. For reasons I can't indulge here, we didn't let our feelings be known to each other. But we knew we both liked each other. Unfortunately because she didn't see eye to eye with someone there, she decided to leave.
One day a co-worker and I got to talking about fate. I said you have to create you own fate sometimes and he disagreed saying if if it's meant to be it will happen. The very next day fate stepped in and I ran into the girl from the day program. Fate indeed. A couple of days later, we got together and finally let our feelings out.
Ever since that day, things have been looking much better. Depression? Gone. Now I'm filled with love. New oppurtunities are arising and doors are being opened. In a few months, I will be taking courses for improv comedy at a place called Comedy Sportz. Look it up online. I'll also be doing things I've wanted to do, but put off for far too long, such as getting my drivers license and going back to school.
Yes, 2011 was quite the ride, but 2012 is looking even better. I'm really hoping to share some of it with my brothers and sisters in FWH. I'll see you guys when I see you. Take care. Be safe. And get me some dang PEANUT BUTTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
