Hello 2012!

Hello blog!

Here I am trying to start this year off right, and posting SOMETHING!

Last night I entered 2012 so much better than I did 2011.

At midnight 2011, I was already asleep and PISSED when fireworks woke me up.

My 31Dec2011 - 1Jan2012 went so much better. So much!

After spending most of yesterday out in Black Forrest the country,

without internet and without cell phone service depending on where you stood,

I drove back into the city around 9pm and called Ryan.

Best decision of 2011? Maybe!

By 10pm, I had been home, showered and was headed out the door to Ryan's house!

To quote Ryan:

We "Rang in 2012 the only way I know how, nerdy."

The plan?

Thanks to Steiny and Andrew, 

MAKE RYAN A WHOVIAN BY THE NEW YEAR!

As you can see, I was prepared!

So after a little pizza & beer and ridiculously nerdy talk...

...shudder with me at this picture, ha!

I, with 3 awesome nerdy boys/friends, rang in 2012 RIGHT,

because over the strike of midnight, I was watching BLINK!

So maybe Ryan is still on the Whovian fence

and enjoyed viewing his Captain America BluRay on his fancy TV after more

(as I had missed watching Captain America in the cinema)...

I am still completely satisfied that I started 2012 the way I did.

To quote Steiny:

"Met and made new friends, the night was awesome.

I'm looking forward to this new year already."

For the first New Year in (sorry) years ages,

I am feeling positive! I am feeling inspired!

But I don't want to get bogged down in resolution goop...

SO this year I am only declaring a few resolutions for 2012!

*The Direct/Book Nerd Resolutions*

Read 101 new (to me) books in 2012.

Re-read Harry Potter. 1 each month, Jan - July.

Post a blog on the last day of every month re-caping the books I read. 

*The Immeasurable Resolutions*

To feel a since of fulfillment as I step into 2013.

Hey 2012...

Director/Producer

Tonight

(with the help and energy of an amazing friend) 

I took the first step in my dream to do

THIS

The Director/Producer is the lead creative artist on set. He or she will communicate with the talent what is exactly needed to convey a particular scene. Often times the Director/Producer will be heavily involved in the casting, script editing, scene selection, and shot composition.

 

So happy. So inspired.

So full of Brain Crack and Word Vomit.

So nervous that I will wake up tomorrow and be too busy to remember this feeling.

Where have all the pen-pals gone?

Bow ties have become cool...again!

Shopping vintage has taken over our wardrobes...

So where have all the pen-pals gone?

Admittedly the only time I was ever a good pen-pal

was with my first LDBFF Mariely on mySpace but I want to try again!

I want to bring back snail mail, if not only in my mail slot!

Now I realise that this is the internet.

I don't want EVERYONE & their creeper pedo family member

having my address and I am too cheap for a P.O.Box just yet...

So I want to devise a questionnaire for my eFriends to fill out and email me...

Then after a few emails, we can swap snail mail addresses if we are both up to it!

Of course, some of you I have known longer than others

so you may not feel like we need to email for as long but still

"Safety. Safety first, then teamwork."

Without furthur ado & pictures via tumblr...

The "Be My Pen-Pal" Questionnaire

1. Who are you?

2. How Which website did we meet on?

3. How do you feel about my crazy cat lady tendancies?

4. What will we fangirl over in our letters? (Even if you are male.)

5. Any other pertinent information to our pen-pal-dom!

Please answer the questions and email them to me!

My public/blog email is

katofdiamondsblogs@gmail.com

OR

 If you believe we can skip the lots of emails

Feel free to answer the questions in the comments and

leave an email addy that you are okay with giving the internet.

I just though the email option was more private and anon.
