2011 recap

I went through my archive and picked out the posts that I think are most essential to my life in 2011, and the complete list is below. They’re all tagged recap, alongside the posts from 2010. I wouldn’t say they’re the most well-written, or the most interesting, of my posts from 2011. I wouldn’t even say they’re worth your time to go back and read. It’s just a bunch of bullshit I wrote about myself, really. But if someone wanted the quick version of my life in 2011, this would be it. You can probably extrapolate from what I wrote about not being perfectly efficient in my work to the fact that I haven’t been writing as much. I don’t have much to say about these posts that I haven’t already said in my 2011 In Review post (last item on the list), so go read that. Otherwise, I stand by what I wrote as a representation of me at that point in time.

• My name in shining lights (in which I become part of the Language and Brain Lab)
• I’m STILL not good at managing my time/forcing myself to work
• In which a banquet forced me to confront my introversion
• In the meantime, take these pills
• Morality of used games (is buying a game used as bad as downloading it? probably)
• You have [3] games remaining (where I reveal my quest to finish every Final Fantasy game - current status: 50% finished with FF VI)
• Username Origin Stories
• Old Friend, New Roommate (I’m still happy about the decision, for the same reasons I mention here)
• Improve the world, and be happy! (in which I become satisfied with my life)
• Catherine & Me
• Catherine Pt 2: Love Should Be Selfless
• The Catherine & Cheating Saga, Pt 3
• How I Got My Android Phone (it was a big deal to me, jeez)
• Not Antisocial, Just Shy
• Hey Matt, Whatcha Up To (but mainly the anxiety stuff)
• Too Busy Planning for Later, To Think About Right Now
• 2011 in review

Oh, one thing that might be notable: there’s a lot of stuff I wanted to write about this year, but felt like I didn’t have the time. Looking through my archive, a pretty common theme is “I did have a better post, but take this for now” or “I’ve got great stuff coming, just you wait!!!” and none of it ever materialized. That sucks, but it is what it is. Again, I’m not totally sure it’ll get better. But I’ve got at least a dozen drafts waiting in the wings, and hopefully I’ll put the finishing touches on some of those. I may write a post about my plans for 2012, but whether or not I post it will depend on how boring it is. If it’s not up in a few days, then 2012 is probably just going to be more of the same.
