Looking back on 2019
Like every year, here's my 2019 in personal best-of lists and resolutions!
Reading
Normal People - Sally Rooney
Circe - Madeleine Miller
Spinning Silver - Naomi Novik
Movies
Knives Out
Cold War
American Animals
You Were Never Really Here
If Beale Street Could Talk
Television
Line of Duty
Russian Doll
Fleabag S2
The OA
Alll the Critical Role
Fandom
I watched way, way too much youtube this year. Mostly a lot of Jenna Marbles, Try Guys, and Bon Appétit.
I read less fic than previous years, but still kept up with new Dean/Cas stuff and reread some old faves. I volunteered as tag wrangler for AO3 for a while but stopped pretty quickly.
Mostly just quietly hung out in Critical Role land.
Music
I still don’t really listen to music a lot. But some
Hadestown cast album(s)
Hozier
Mostly just movie soundtracks and spotify playlists though
Podcasts
Redhanded
Pilot TV podcast
Behind the Bastards
And the old faves: The Empire Podcast, Reply All, Answer Me, This My Dad Wrote a Porno
2019 is the year that I
Got my first tattoo
Had few adventures, but mostly cozy times with friends and family, both at home and on holidays in my own country and in France
Saw several friends get pregnant and realised we are all entering a new stage of our lives
last year I wanted to
Learn to do at least one of the following things: knit, sew, or make bread - I learned to make bread at home and did a sewing workshop!
Generally do some things I've never done before - well, I did the above things; cooked and baked a lot of new stuff, learned the basics of sewing in a workshop. Also got a tattoo, had high tea with alpacas, went to a podcast liveshow.
Have a sense of what I still want to achieve - not necessarily achieve it, just think about it more - yeah. I like that I put it like this last year. I do have a good idea of what I really want in my life, but haven’t made any moves towards it yet. But I did make myself realise some things this year.
Read more books and watch more movies and tv that isn't CR - kinda yes, kinda no. I hardly read any books, which sucks, and should have watched more movies, but I did watch some really great tv shows. Unfortunately, instead of CR stuff I watched too much youtube as well.
Next year I want to
Be more honest with myself about what I need, and act on it. This means: look for a partner. Look for another job. I don’t necessarily have to find them, but I need to acknowledge that I want them and try to move towards them.
Same goes for other stuff. I already know what I need to be happy; I need to read, I need to watch movies, I need to cook and bake, I need to exercise, I need to go outside, I need to socialise. So do more of those things instead of sleeping and watching youtube.
Get out of my own head enough to enjoy the wonderful things I already have planned: Scotland, weekend away with my friends, etc.
End the year feeling less bleak about the future than this year
Do better at managing my household
Write. Not for anything or anyone, just write - reviews, blogs, the outline for that story I have in my head - anything.
