Family Social

So Happy New Years to all. First post of the year and hopefully will be filling this blog out a lot more. So let's start with some social things and then reflections from last year and resolutions. 

Saturday was a double birthday party for my Grandmom and her sister who was visiting from Germany. I'm still the same little girl to them I guess and many who attended were years older than myself. But I didn't hide out in a room. I stayed in the common area and just viewed the goings on.

Here is my outfit for the evening:
Fair Isle Cardigan: Ebay
Royal Blue Dress: Handmade
Belt: Local Beauty Supply Store
Tights: Unknown
Boots: Local Dollar General.
Cameo Necklace: Forever 21

Here's my kid brother. not sure what he was eating at the time 

My baby brother. I know they're not little anymore but I still refer to them as such. 

My Dad and his little brother (right) 

The group of Capricorns ( Grandmom, Her Sister and my Dad right 3 ) 

More of my family. The woman with the shorter hair next to my dad is my  cousin Sarah .
On the far right is her boyfriend Carl. 

Edible arrangements. Yummy :3 

This was actually right before we left. The moon although not clear  in this shot was giving off
sort've a rainbow type effect. 

This was sometime earlier. This is only the third Lunar ring I've seen.
They're really interesting. Wish I could've gotten a nicer shot  

sometime earlier again. My Uncle being a ham >___>; 

Reflecting on last year. It started out ok, but seem to go down hill fairly early in the year with loads of disappointment. I've lost friends. Honestly the two that are no longer my friends...it doesn't really phase me much. One person in particular, despite knowing her at least 7 years. I'm not terribly bothered by this. She's was in general a negative Nancy. When I was tired of sugar coating things after the hellish year she was having with a man, I was apparently in the wrong for it. But hey I'm a Gemini after a while. I'm gonna have to be blunt if my molly coddling isn't getting the point across. And on several occasions she seemed to conveniently forget to at least call and ask if I'd like to hang out with some other friends  after I expressed my sheer dislike of friends I know well not including me in activities. I'm aware I don't socialize a lot even on social networks but I'm not invisible in the least bit. Apparently the last days of our friendship I was somehow the enemy when both her and the first friend tried to drag me through the mud on a social activity. Which wasn't the issue. I never apologize for a good portion of my actions unless I know I'm really in the wrong for something. I didn't slam her. I spoke my mind about how I was feeling and I felt I was being treated by two people who were supposed to be friends. No one needs to talk about my financials when they have their own financial problems. And I'll be damned if one of the least socially immature people I know is gonna say I need to grow up and mature ( well she tried to say like I still have a ways to go) so a big FUCK YOU 

to one special snow flake  

The other thing that changed was my heart. As I much as I loved the Seahorse. After years...of hit and miss ( for lack of better words ) at a relationship I couldn't really go through with it this time. I still care for him as a friend. He does know how to make me laugh. But it had been about 4 years of really going nowhere and I had just really finally shut off all those lovey dovey feelings I had for him. Rather than let it continue I just ended it and decided we'd be better friends. 

Now onto the resolutions and plans for the year and the future. 

So resolutions..

1. To not give up when I hit a wall with losing weight: This is a big thing because I work hard and when I didn't see my hard work reflected in the numbers and such. I pretty much fell off the wagon. I didn't back track but I was very annoyed. 

2. Get a job and get my own place: This is gonna be just as challenging for the simple fact that fucking apartments are expensive as hell and jobs in general are hard to come by even when there are so many places are hiring. I think jobs just want you to not have a social life. 

3. Start up two Etsy Stores: I want to start selling simple clothing and accessories. The other will be for Tea and perhaps Magick based things :3. Both are easy and not. The hardest task will be saving money for supplies, Sewing will require me to not be a fast ass to make sure everything is as neat and professional as possible. I won't give all the details.

4. Start selling prints and get to working on MANGA. I've been wanting to do this for so long so I have to work extra and stop procrastinating it. First step is to get a story going...maybe I'll do a poetry book or something to get into the flow of things. 

Now with all this said. I want to have a good future. To be back into my religious path, to be at peace mind body and soul. I want to hone all of my talents and skills as well as learn new things. I want to be self sufficient. Not having to rely on too much beyond what the Earth has to offer me. I want to continue to develop my personal fashion style(s) I also intend to get better at fishing and learning to hunt. 

And before any Vegans get in a huffy mood. I have intentions to use as much as possible, the idea is to sustain oneself with hunting and to not use up home grown resources ( live stock: rabbits, chickens etc.) This is healthier and cruelty free. And remember Plants are living things too and treated just has cruelly as animals >___>. 

So with this all said. Let 2012 be the greatest kick off year yet. 

also when I hit about 100 watchers/subscribers I might hold a giveaway.
