January 1st 2020
Everyone who follows me on tumblr should be really glad I actually for once made a side blog, because otherwise my dash would be all BTS all the time. I have also in two days time written 6k fic, which is not something I've managed to do in years. So thanks bts for reviving my fanfic writing? (might be too early to say, who knows, I might abandon this before it's finished)
Didn't do anything for new year's eve. Stayed at home and had the tv on super loud to try drown out the fireworks sounds, as my dog is really scared of them. At first she was shaking and actually voluntarily stayed on my lap, but calmed down a lot later and just lay down next to me for the rest of the night, which was a relief.
I think I didn't write about this, but before Christmas I had a small fire in my apartment, because I'm an idiot and turned on the wrong burner in my stove and there was a pot on it with a plastic pasta strainer on top of that. I guess the heat got so bad that the strainer caught on fire somehow? I was able to put it out before anything bad happened but the apartment smelled like burned plastic for two days... Fire detectors save lives, check that yours are working (advice for 2020 right there)
Christmas went well at home, even though I felt like 6 days might be pushing it beforehand, but things turned out to be chill. We made a 1000 piece puzzle with mom, listened to carols a lot and ate. I got a new vacuum cleaner as a present as well as some other small things.
Haven't looked for any year in review memes on here, but went trhough my posts and:
January: watched tv: the travelers and disco season 2 and the magicians season 4 (poor me was so excited to have this show back D:). I also moved apartments
February: I wrote a wonder woman/Kassandra fic (still haven't edited or posted this... oops?!) booked the trip to Italy, saw the Favourite in the cinema
March: first post about wanting to play d&d :D I was already DMing at this point (but not for d&d) and now I'm kind of bummed I haven't posted anything about getting started with that, because now I can't remember exactly when I started, but I think it was in 2019. Got into my first roll20 game as my Paladin character (this is the group I still play with, even though I jumped into DMing later), saw Captain Marvel, started watching Critical role --> March was a D&D month
April: Talking about finding a new job, the magicians and disco seasons were over and I had mixed feelings
May: turned 33, applied for 3 new jobs, saw endgame (did not like it), started the Orville (did not stick), went to Italy, got into the Vorgosigan saga through fic
June: Good Omens, accepted one of the job offers, started planning the move, had my last day in the old job at the 27th, the harry potter mobile game came out (or I started playing it)
July: Moved to a new city, had my summer vacation, started prepping for Waterdeep Dragonheist, had a graduation party for me six months late at home for my extended family :D Actually read some books (vorgosigan mostly, some d&d)
August: didn't post anything, but I started my new job
September: Still didn't post much, must have been the new job jitters :D
October: Talking about starting to draw again (still working on this), talking about the short therapy course I want to take, talking about doing nano, started a new game of d&d as a player but iffy about the group (Still am, I really should drop out. Note to self, PM the DM) I made a paladin for this campaign as well. I think at this point I have to accept it's my favourite class... especially because I still haven't managed to find a game that would let me play a wizard damn it! Talk about needed to get a new PC (still haven't done it, so much money needed!) and how I'd been feeling more creative and happy in general
November: talked about starting nano, Got sims university expansion (which was stupid, I regret paying money for it), went on a date
December: talk about how I didn't finish nano, Got into BTS fandom on the first week :D, watched a lot of youtube (Jenna Marbles and bts and d&d stuff mostly), got a drawing tablet on black friday sale, more talk about the short therapy course (this is still bending)
Seeing it like this makes me feel better about my year. I saw people post about their accomplishments on twitter a lot and didn't really remember anything cool I had done, but I actually did a lot off stuff! So for me personally 2019 was pretty good. Hopefully the trend will continue into next year

I'm glad the fire didn't get out of hand, and that your dog was able to calm down.
And I for one appreciate your foray into DMing for D&D!
