gothikmausI worked on my second ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
five0bang picture the whole evening and now I have a crick in my neck. But damn, it was worth the soreness. I drew an actual background! \o/ It's quite simple, but it's a background nevertheless. I hope I can colour it tomorrow/today.
I'd like to do that "Fandom Snowflake Challenge" I've seen on my flist, but the five0bang fanart is my top priority at the moment. I'll see if I have enough time.
And, before I go to bed, the usual end-of-year meme.
What did you do in 2011 that you'd never done before?
As I was mentally compiling this list, I realised this year I did quite a few things I'd never done before. In no particular order: I went to Malta as a group leader with a group of students on a language holiday, I went to the USA on my own, visited Boston, went to an American cinema, rode a Harley-Davidson, swam in the Atlantic Ocean, ate a fried Oreo, interviewed a singer on the phone, wrote a screenplay sample, wrote a statement of purpose, baked a carrot cake.
Did you keep your New Years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
Apparently all I wanted for 2011 was to find a job and I did, so, yes. As for next year I'd like to attend that workshop in summer, read more, listen to more music and go to more concerts. And have sex.
Did anyone close to you give birth?
Not.
Did anyone close to you die?
No.
What countries did you visit?
Switzerland in April, Malta in July and the USA in August.
What would you like to have in 2012 that you lacked in 2011?
Sex, dammit.
What dates from 2011 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
The DÄ concert in April, the weekend in Boston in August when I went to see "Fright Night" with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

I... can't remember. D: I even checked here on LJ, but I only wrote about being able to get a ticket for the DÄ gig and I posted a pic of the cake my mum baked for me, but other than that... Nothing. I suppose I didn't do anything? I remember going out with a friend, to a place in the middle of nowhere and sitting outside and being bloody cold, but that's it. I guess I didn't celebrate with the others. Damn, it's weird not remembering what I did on my birthday. (Oh, and I turned 31. Thirty. One. Man...)

Sex? (Do you see a pattern here?)

Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2011
Keep trying.
Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
Klammer dich nicht so an gestern
Heut ist auch ein schöner Tag
Hab keine Angst - es könnte sehr viel schlimmer sein
Schließ die Augen und sei stark
"Vorbei ist vorbei", Die Ärzte
English translation:
Don't cling so much to yesterday
Today's a nice day too
Don't be afraid - it could be so much worse
Close your eyes and be strong
