That time of year and on being 28.

chrisvenusThere's a lot that I want to post to LJ at the moment. I think I might do some of it tomorrow (or later today, or whatever). FOr now though the most topical thing to post about, even more topical than Jade being a racialist, is that fact that I am now an age I am finding hard to get used to.
29 isn't that old but it just doesn't sound right. Whenever I think I'm 29 I think "Really? Hang on... 2007-1978... BLimey, I *am* 29."
I'm not going to get angsty and stuff about it. I'm not really getting old. I'm not really any older than I was yesterday or last week. I'm still having fun with life and I'm currently reading a wonderful book that helps me sort things in my mind that points out that getting older is really not a big deal.
I'm tempted to do that whole review of the year thing that most people did at new year. What was it like to be 28?
Well, when I look back on it I am trying to think of what there was that was good and bad.
The bad is obviously mainly my depression coming back to the extent that I went back on meds.
The best bit of the year is probably the fun (though stressful time) that I had designing and writing Legacy with the rest of the GM team. Not being able to finish running it is something of a down but in accordance with my new way of thinking I didn't fail, I succeeded in designing a damn fun game and running it damn well for a term.
I'm trying to think what other good bits there have been since last birthday. I guess the trouble is that all the other good bits are fairly small and have kind of blurred together. There's lots of people I've got to know better over the last year which is nice. Mainly the first (now second year) roleplayers. And its just occured to me that I only met![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
innokenti for the first time back in october I think.
There was Amecon over the summer which was great and I got to know various people better there.
As I look back and try to think of some of the worst bits of the year I think that in fact there hasn't been anything bad going on. There are some things I meant to get around to that I didn't, like taking up rock climbing again. And possibly doing Jujitsu withquisalan and R. I've decided I really need to get more exercise going on this year. Unfortunately the two things I've just listed I can't start again at the moment due to medical issues (with my toe, I'll say no more to protect the squeamish).
What do I want to do while I'm 29? Well, rock climbing and Jujitsu possibly. Get a house. I really need to get on with this if I'm going to get it done by the time the lease here runs out though. Get work to send me out to the US is another one on the list. There are probably other things but the big changes in my life and routine are the house and more exercise type things.
Anyway, there's my mix of annual review and solicitation for birthday best wishes.
And for those wondering I don't think I've got any plan for tonight. I'll be mostly considering the Masquerade ball next friday as the best place to celebrate my birthday. So that's when everybody should give me birthday hugs (and kises if you're a girl). :)
