*gives 2012 a good swift kick in the rear* Thanks and no thanks! Damn Year of the Dragon...Hello 2013 and the Year of the Snake! (and yes I know that people are gonna be making that gag this year. Go right ahead! *noms on popcorn*)

Anyway, hope you all had a good new year! I am so so so very happy, myself. 2012 was one of the worst years I've ever had, with my nightmare and job hunting and all that jazz, along with having to come home and well...I'd rather not get into detail with my Drexel headache. Go read previous journals if you're curious.

I did, however, have some good points. For one I finally got my knee surgery done back in January of last year. I also bought Jace the Mind Sculptor (and then what happens after I get him? JTMS jumps up in price. Oh well) after searching for over two years. I also FINALLY got a laptop with a new OS that works and also cooperates with me. I also managed to get Pokemon Black 2, as well (and so far I'm so enjoying it and the Xtransceiver calls with Curtis and yes I've beaten the game). I chose Snivy as my starter and called him 'Snake' and in continuing in the MGS vein, a male Tepig will be called 'Pig Boss' and the male Oshawott 'Revolver'. I've also beaten the main story for Peace Walker and started to replay MGS2. I've been putting out more chapters for ASAR, my little crossover fanfic of Power Rangers and Metal Gear. I also have a working phone, again, and once I get my other one going, this phone will be for emergencies, only.

Now, here are some of my goals for this year:
FINALLY FINISH ALL THE COMMISSIONS I OWE PEOPLE *gets brick'd*
Put out ref sheets for Poison-Stripes (which I have finished sketching mostly. Needs to be colored and I gotta redo Stripes' face and head as I'm not happy with it currently) and Lady Snake (for her sneaking suit, divine form and her default Ranger form)
Get my driver's license. Yeah, I know, but mainly my dad's been all like "I don't want to put you on my insurance policy" but well, I'm tired of that.
Get a job, period.
GET BACK TO DREXEL AND FINISH MY BACHELOR'S IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING!!! 0^0
Get internet back at home, and cable by extension.
More personal artworks and such.
Complete my planeswalker collection as much as I can (speaking of Wizards, I'll get to THEM in another journal).

And dammit I'm gonna do all of these!! Come hell or high water I'll accomplish my goals!!! *slams fist into table* Ow....I gotta stop doing that.
