What I'm most proud of;
Starting my first year as a Liberal Studies major at CSU Channel Islands, not to mention successfully transferring and the fact that I moved away from home for the first time. Also proud to have attained a 3.5 grade point average!
Running a booth selling my own crafts for the first time, and being very sucessful at it! While running a booth at Anime Five Cities, a one day convention with around 200 attendees, I made over $600 and developed a big local fanbase!
Getting my teeth fixed, which was a huge trial during the end of the summer. I had been afraid of the dentist and haven't been there since I was a small child, so I feel like I overcame a huge obstacle. I also began wearing contacts!
Buying a new car, a 2002 burgundy PT Cruiser
Being with Neil for 3 strong years!
I made a lot of difficult choices this year and it has helped me learn to believe in myself. Making decisions that are not easy, but are right and keeping my dignity and composure in tough situations this year has become something that I am proud of. I am determined to only depend on myself for my own happiness and taking control of my life for the better!
Things I tired for the first time!;
A team sport! Although my time in derby was short, I did grow to love the sport of derby and learn a great new skill
Selling at Conventions
Performing as a japanese idol dancer at Anime conventions
Made an entire costume out of duct tape for the first time (sort of)
Went Wine Tasting for the first time on my 21st birthday, and have been back a dozen times since
I went back to my natural hair color, although it took my some trial to get there! First time in my adult life having my natural hair and I'm learning to love it
Contacts!!
Pomegranates, Brussel Sprouts, Toppers Pizza, my room mate Jocilin's amazing cooking and cake pops!
My BIGGEST Adventures;
The Vagina Monologues! This was not my first year performing My Angry Vagina, but this year was a much larger show, and I even performed in my bra!
The whole AnimeiCon experience, considering I slept in my car one night in an unfamiliar town, got a hotel room in Monterrey, and performed as well as sold my artwork at a brand new convention!
J-Pop summit, because I drove up to San Fransisco on my own for the first time, got to meet Danceroid and performed with a whole bunch of girls who are danceroid fanatics! And seeing Japan town was really fun
The Sweet Streets Art Exhibition was my best adventure of all! Because I was with true supportive friends in a stress free enviroment, and a lot could have gone wrong but everything ended up being more amazing than I could have imagined. Meeting my fashion idol of the past few years, Tavuchi, was just amazing.
