The end of 2011 - The beginning of 2012

This Blog Post comes to You in 3 Parts

Part One:
The 2011 Youtube Survey:
Started by the HPA vloggers in this video


The Questions:

1. How old did you turn this year?
   I turned 24. (I'm old)
2. Where did you travel to?
   I didn't travel far this year, just to Svendborg (for the last Harry Potter premiere) and Odense with my mother on holiday.
3. What is your best memory?
   Seeing Wicked on the stage in Denmark. It was truly an amazing experience and I can still feel the buzz.
   
   
4. What is your most embarrassing memory?
   I've done some pretty stupid things but I can't think of any memory that I find truly embarrassing. Not from this year at least.
5. What did you do that you'd never done before?
   I went to Copenhagen to watch Wicked.
   I showed my book draft to a friend and she liked it.
   I read a Shakespeare play (Romeo and Juliet)
   I've probably done more than just that, but I can't think of anything else right now.
6. What was your biggest achievement?
   Silly: Getting one hundred mounts on Friedaz in WoW.
   Serious: I finished my first book draft some beginning to ending.
7. What was the best book you read?
   Honorable mentions goes to Juliet by Anne Fortier, Shadow Army by Thomas Rathsack and Inheritance by Christoffer Paolini.
   The Winner of the best book I read in 2011: This One. If you haven't read it, you must. You simply must, not only because it's coming out as a movie but because in book form (before it's *hopefully not* ruined by a movie) it's AMAZING.
8. What is the most nerdy item you acquired?
   It's a tie between Harry Potter Film Wizardry and A Rubiks Cube. Although honerable mentions goes to my Gryffindor Tie, my Harry Potter 3D glassesa and my Time Turner. 
9. Who is your favourite Youtube that you subscribed to?
   Alex Carpenter, Elmify and Vihart
10. What did you learn this year?
    I learned how to be patient but always going forward and relaxed but outgoing. I say this every year but now I believe in it whole heartedly. Next year is going to rule.

The Update

I'm going for a nerdy stay at home New Years again this year, I really can't be bothered to go for a party this year, to get dressed up and go somewhere when I have an old dog, a scared cat and chinese food, movies, Rubiks Cube and a great book to read at home. I've got a lot of booze as well if I get bored but I can't tap into that for another few hours. I'm picking up my chinese takeout in a few hours. 

Christmas was great this year, I don't know how to explain it but it was much more relaxed and cheerful. 

A Series of Drabbles died around day 12 or 13 and when I finally had the energy or the will to write again, it was such a big task to take upon myself fourteen days after finishing NaNoWriMo that I gave up. You live and learn right? Putting a word count on my head about more than two months a year (NaNoWrimo for November, Script Frenzy for April) is a little more than my head could take. 

Part Three: 

The Year in Review that I didn't make myself but that I found on the Internet! It's a must watch from Zeitgeist and the guys from Google. 

The Ending that doesn't Count in Parts

Thanks for this year universe, It's been great, so raise your glasses and look out of the window because tonight there'll be fireworks! Or in my case 25 pieces of firecrackers because i'm deadly afraid of blowing off my hands/eyes/legs/whatever if I even get near fireworks.
