Shall I do a song and dance ...

veronica_richLike the other 15 million people on LiveJournal, I halfway wanted to make an end-of-year post. But what would I say? I don't reference real life an awful lot on here, for good reason. I live it; no need to rehash much. As always, in 2008 it was a mixture of good and bad. All I can ever say every New Year's is that I hope nobody I like dies before the next one ... and of course it doesn't always work out that way.
(Speaking of which, if any of you know![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
metalkatt, her grandmother passed away on New Year's Eve of apparent kidney failure, after having gone into the hospital on Christmas. It may be a while before she's back online, since I'm sure she and her sister have funeral arrangements to make and a grandfather to attend to.)
Same with career. It gets a few mentions every so often, but like everybody else's, it's just what I do, not what I am. (Well, mostly.) I can't say anything bad about it this year, and it did give me some interesting times.
It used to be that each year would be pretty much 100 percent rewarding fannishly for me, but this hasn't been the case the past couple of years. Disagreements take place, shit sticks to flying fan blades. But overall, it's still far more in the "pro" column than the "con." I don't see anything terribly likely and new on the horizon, since I don't actively seek out fandoms - they just sort of appear when I need them. (Maybe I'll only watch movies this year as the creators intended, and stay out of the fandoms. *G*)
If I were going to make a resolution, it might be to try to answer everybody who comments to every post I make. But sometimes I just feel like saying something and not having a discussion about it. I don't mind if people comment (if I don't want them to, I'll disable the feature), if they don't think I'm snubbing them by not always answering. It's not a personal thing, sometimes it's just laziness.
By the by, I've seen other people collect their stories under one future-post on their journals for fellow fans. Is that the best way to group them, or do "memories" work just as well for anyone who surfs this LJ?
