New year's - A contemplative moment. No big party, no big hangover - have I lost it or have I matured? I hope neither. I had a quiet night in at a friends house with pizza and cocktails and fireworks and a lot of catching up.
As 2011 draws to a close I was simply tired and pre-occupied I have been working pretty hard this past year and hardest in the last few months when I decided not to make any money and do a couple of love jobs. Best decision ever!!
Another year done and what have I learnt?
Professionally - I learnt to say no and to stand up for what I am worth. I do know what I am doing and I'm pretty damn good at what I do too.
I learnt the direction that I do NOT want to head in.
I CAN write.
I also accidentally stepped onto the path of Directing. Something I never really thought I wanted...until I tried it. So that is why I am so preoccupied at this time - I am in the midst of finishing up my first short film, first of My Own that is and I am extremely excited about it.
Personally - Well, still on my own and not too much has changed.
Many of my friends are coupled and familied up, settling further into the suburbs. I have new little babies around for me to play with and be a bad influence on and spoil.
New friends seem to be younger in general and don't get half my references to the "old days" - hahaha!
Made it to Uluru (finally) this year.
Found the creative in me and gave it an outlet.
Stressed myself out and proved I can sleepwalk.
Burnt my ears in Dubbo, killed a pair of red gumboots, flew through the air with the greatest of ease on the flying trapeze (once), swam in the ocean in Winter, mastered various dumplings and got slightly addicted to deal websites.
Hope you all had a great year and best wishes for all of us in 2012!!
