Why am I up at exactly 1:01 AM writing a blog post? Hmmmm…
January was a hard month to get through. And a long one at that.
Two car accidents, two parking tickets, sick for about two weeks, made a horrible first impression on the love of my life’s father, and people at work probably hate me.
The little angel sitting on my shoulder (or I’m going through schizophrenia) tells me to focus on the positive. “Remember your New Year’s resolution, April?”
FUUUUUUUUUCCCKKKKKKKK POSITIVITY.
I throw my middle fingers up at you.
But alas, February is a new month. Dear GOD please let it be better.
And since I have to set an example for you kiddies out there (all two of you who may come across this blog) I SHOULD in fact focus on SOMETHING positive.
The good things in January:
I spent a lot of time with someone who makes me very very happy ^_~ He is very special to me and I have never thought I could feel this way for someone before… I don’t think I ever HAVE felt this way for someone before O.o every minute with him is precious and yet hours seem too short. I find myself constantly thinking about him 
Slimmed down on the hobbies! I am actually very proud of that. No spending binges to compensate for the empty spot in my life T.T Maybe because that spot is filled and overflowing XD <3
Awoke to the powers of caffeine. I have only been drinking coffee for about a week every weekday morning for work. Yesterday was the first day I have not had caffeine, and had about 5-6 hours of sleep. I thought I was going to go crazy T.T After work I came home and crashed for about two hours… >.< Until my alarm woke me up for Capoeira.
Ahhhhh… speaking of Capoeira. I always go into class feeling hesitant… with swirls of negative thoughts in my head. When I leave though, I am happy and proud of myself for putting forth more effort. And yaaaaaaay I get exercise hahaha. Who knew that nerdy comic artist/gamer/closet musician April would actually get off her ass and move… I’m getting my first belt in April! So excited XD
Those were the positive highlights. For February I hope to achieve several small goals.
Learn one song on the guitar by the end of the month. (Which requires me to actually make love to PLAY the guitar.)
Record one new video for a new youtube channel I am planning And plan some more collaborations with other artists! I definitely want to branch out to other genres of music, instead of just rock (which I love to death lol. But I need to broaden my horizons). I’m thinking jazz and pop most of all <3
Gain back healthy weight T.T
Numerous sewing related projects that need to be started on :V
Band activities, GO GO GO!!! My drummer got her drums! So excited to do jam sessions!!! 
There’s more but I don’t want to give myself too many projects. Then it just seems like a chore, instead of something I enjoy.
Now I’m going to work on the healthy weight and then get 4 hours of sleep. Hahahaha.
…you must forget the negative. Very hard considering I’ve always been this way O.o
Is this going to be one of those New Year’s Resolution posts? The kind you intend to keep but never do? Yup.
Looking back I did have some pretty awesome moments, more so than the bad. I won two contests, $500 from Namecheap (my domain site people) and then free movie tickets to watch Tekken Blood Vengeance for me and a group of friends at the theater at Northgate from NAMCO. True I didn’t have any gamer friends available that day, but that’s why you ask your friends to bring their friends. Does that make any sense? Anyway I was the only one who enjoyed watching it lol. My friends and their friends probably just got a kick out of my fangirling.
(Note to self, force/bring fellow fanatics next time.)
Anyway, positive. Positive.
Braces really thinned out my facial structure >:D
Speaking of thin, I joined capoeira when I was at my most depressed state, a really good move. Natural endorphins are important ^^ But I lost way too much weight from braces and capoeira. Catching up on the nutrient loss >.<
I’m a little better at the accoustic. Not so much on the electric still DX
Finally got a haircut around… October? I look better with bangs apparently.
Hung out with and became slightly more social because of Sara. Also met a lot of random people on my own >.< Dangerous much? Not really, almost everyone I met this year was pretty awesome. I also met someone special because of that ^_~*
I got a lot of songwriting done. Found out what works, what doesn’t, and what is salvageable. Started collabs, ended collabs, and hopefully get the most important one finished by the end of the year
Aaaaaaaaaand now for New Year’s Resolutions (not in any particular order):
1. Upgrade to an adult wallet. Yes, goodbye Hello Kitty wallet(s). Hello Vivienne Westwood.
2. Become a far better capoeirista than I have been in the last few months
3. Become a better guitarist and vocalist
4. Work on the online comic I’ve been planning for years. Hopefully to post here, on drinkthegoddamntea.com
5. Cook at home more.
6. Explore all that Washington has to offer. I can’t believe I’ve been living here for like 6 years, and I haven’t been anywhere except Mt. Rainier and the Space Needle D:< Time to see the islands and swamps and stuff XD I’m thinking about making a zombie apocalypse movie…
7. Go to school: Probably going to start with some online courses. I won’t get to socialize, but eh what the hell. I need the schooling more.
8. Travel to another continent at least ONCE… I think 2012 is the year it’s going to happen
9. Consolidate hobbies – I have way too many
10. One more to even it out; BE MORE POSITIVE!
And that is all. I think these are all obtainable, just have to put forth the effort ^^
Hope everyone has a wonderful New Year!!!
It breaks my heart, but I must part with my BJD’s. I didn’t display or play with them enough to justify keeping them, and they are too gorgeous to let them simply sit on my shelves. To clarify, I am selling these two:
Volks SD17 Williams ~The Young Ensign~ full default with extras (sword hand, musket pistol hand, musket pistol and trunk, and 3 extra Crobidoll wigs! Follow the link to Den of Angels for the proper sales link!) I’m so sad because he was like, the holy grail of dolls to me lol. But he is too good to just “display” on my shelf. Please, someone with a nice camera and a patience for great photoshoots, take him home!
