jackysherwoodIt's been a pretty uneventful year for me. I've long settled into my cottage, my job is stable, and, well, that's about it.
1) My family are all fit and well. I've needed them, and they are always there.
2) Gaming, chiefly, discovering Journey for the PS3.
What a fantastic game. This opened my eyes to how a game can be a beautiful emotional experience. I still play this game weekly. I also had the pleasure of meeting and journeying with several like-minded individuals. TGC, thank you, for showing me than games are art.
And since I've taken an interest, Far Cry 3 is also a huge game, in all the right ways. Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is also class. Not that I'll go online with it - I'd be crushed - but hey, it has a buff guy with a tail and a leopard head. Damn.
1) I lost a friendship with someone I felt close to. I don't even know why - he never told me. That sunk me into a bit of a depression in September, and I haven't really recovered yet. Perhaps I shouldn't expect so much from people.
Anyway, it's truly over now, and for 2013, I want to turn this into a positive and get myself some help. The description of AVPD - Avoidant Personality Disorder - fits me like a glove. Time to do some work...
