Welcoming 2010…

Happy New Year!!  Can you believe it’s already 2010?!

With the 2010 New Year’s holiday in mind, I set out with this post to honor tradition and share my virtual resolutions.  So, rather than just tossing them out there, I’m going to steal this meme from Anea, who was tagged by Tahas, who was inspired by Forreststump!   It’s fun because it doesn’t just talk about in-game resolutions, but real-life resolutions, too.

In-game:

• Loremaster – I had so much fun doing this achievement with Majeste, but I’d like to do it all again with Gloryee (because I’m clearly nuts!!).  So, once I get the whole world explored, I’ll begin looking at what I need where.
• Glory of the Hero – Seems silly, I know, but I still don’t have it done!  If I have anything to say about it, that red proto-drake will be mine!
• Level Lilleigh to 80/Gear her up – That’s right, I’m making it a priority to level and gear my hordie mage!  I love her, she’s so cute, and I’d like to see all the horde towns in the Outlands & Northrend.  Not to mention, I’ve been ally so long, it might be strange to look around at my random LFG group and see hordies!

Real-life:

• Commit to freelancing – This is my career goal for 2010.  I intend to increase my freelance volume and make it at least part time income while I’m in graduate school!
• Finish my novel – I’m about 25,500 words in, so I just need to push forward and finish the project.  Really looking forward to getting this done and edited!
• Get organized – Biggie!  I really, really need to get better organized.  I’m hoping 2010 will be the magic year for me on this front.  Should be better when the officer floor is replaced and I can use that room for something other than junk storage!

I spent New Years at home, with my husband, playing WoW.   Sounds a little sad, I know, but we had a really good time.  We’re both homebodies, so it was really great to spend New Years doing something we both enjoy, rather than being out in the cold.  Besides, I have this superstition that what you’re doing on New Years is what you’ll be doing all year long.  It’s the only one I have, but I’m careful with New Years, lest it influence my whole year.  So, we went to Stormwind, had a bit too much (virtual) booze, and stayed for the fireworks at midnight our time (10pm server).  Our best friends also play WoW, so we gathered on the bridge in front of SW and enjoyed a bit of camaraderie for the holiday!

It was really lovely!

2009 wasn’t such a great year, but I’m hopeful for 2010!!
