i see your true colours shining through

I think I have solid plans for three things I want to do next year:

# play a Kirby game, because he is so cute and I have never played one so obviously that needs to be remedied
# learn to write music
# learn to pixel properly

I didn't set a goal for this year, and I don't know if I've learnt anything new? But eh, these are my goals for next year. The last time I remember doing this, I decided I'd learn to knit socks and bake bread, and I can do both those things now.

In other news, I went and sold some stuff to actual people! It was not at all scary, and OK, I didn't make a mint, but I sold some stuff! I have a bit more cash that can go towards paying my national insurance contributions! (I'd much rather spend it on Dragon Age: Inquisition, but I guess I need to be an adult and focus on priorities. DA:I is not going to provide me with a pension when I am a million years old, sadly).

Now I know how the guys who I follow elsewhere feel when they do con prep (I had two days' notice. I was supposed to have had more, but for various reasons didn't. Luckily I had a bunch of stuff to hand that I could put in a box and take with me).

Thirdly, when I awoke this morning, it was from a dream about a particular ex-boyfriend. There was high action and kissing! (So, essentially, a Bioware game ;) ) Except it was one of those clingy dreams that you can't shake off, so I felt kind of oogy all day. Anyway, all I ever do when thinking about said ex now is laugh repeatedly (because his life choices are worse than mine these days) and also wonder what the hell I liked about him in the first place (I was a teenager, you know, what the heck did I know then??? Er. Not that I think I know much these days. I'd like to say my choice in men is better now but it probably isn't). So I think the point I was trying to make here is that I don't know why my subconscious picked him over inventing someone OR choosing someone I DO have a crush on. But given I've had my brain do this to me multiple times before AND I know it happens to other people, I don't know why I'm even asking this, or expecting better behaviour.

I need to remember to make a post about Our Fault In The Stars and why I'm so mad at it.
