2024 was eventful

 


2024 was the most eventful year of my life. So, instead of typing out paragraphs, I'm gonna make a list of big things that happened.


• Went to the worst suicide watch EVER

• Went to a taping of After Midnight

• Found out that my aunt's body was found and buried in 1985 and that, just as we suspected, she was murdered by a serial killer and may have potentially been a victim of human trafficking

• Went to Wondercon

• Went to a Ducks game

• Went to Comic Con Revolution and met the voice of the Clones from the various Star Wars animated series

• Went to my first LAFC match, which happened to be Pride night. So I saw my dad as the wonderful ally he truly is as I watched an after-match celebration of Pride play out on the field

• Went to a Dodgers game and got to hang with a good friend of mine and meet her new boyfriend

• Saw Kaleo in concert

• Saw Collective Soul and Hootie and the Blowfish in concert (the former was excellent and the latter sucked.

• Made some new friends who live across the street (they've become like family to me)

• Went to SDCC and ended up forgiving Marc Guggenheim for a petty grudge I held against him for like 15 years

• Went to Morphicon where I met an online friend andgot to see a dear friend of mine who moved to Ireland

• Chose not to board a train because it came into the station with a wheel on fire

• Almost passed out from being overheated on the LA metro

• Saw Toad the Wet Sprocket and Counting Crows in concert

• Saw Smashing Pumpkins and Green Day in concert

• Went to LA Comic Con, where an actor helped me be at peace with some trauma from 23 years ago

• Saw Flogging Molly in concert

• Went to a Ducks game and actually walked out with 5 minutes left because they were losing so badly that me and dad couldn't bare it

• Went to an LAFC playoff match

• Saw Trans Siberian Orchestra in concert

• Dressed as Santa for some kids multiple times

• Got in a fight


So, yeah....HUGE year. Oh! My comic collection passed 4000 this year, so there's also that! Definitely a year to remember for a LOT of reasons. I'll be okay if I never have a year as eventful as this one.

Iceland- Day 6 - In Which Our Hero Takes a Walk and Has Pizza

  Day 6 - October  2 (HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM!) I woke up and had time to kill before meeting a dear friend of mine and his family. It's the day between two hikes. So, what did I do? I went for a walk. The walk ended up lasting 5 hours and covered almost everything in Reykjavik that I wanted to see. I started with walking down Laugavegur, which is a long street that's lined with stores and restaurants. I did some souvenir shopping. I decided that I may as well walk to the Saga Museum, so I did.

After that, I decided to walk toward Hallgrimskirkja (the big church in many Reykjavik pictures), since it's a sort of central point in downtown. On my way there, I stopped by the Settlement Exhibit. It's a museum that was built around the excavated remains of an ancient Icelandic S...

However, even being attracted to SOME guys means I'm not straight. I've looked at the terms of bi and pan and settled on bi as my term. So yeah...I'm not just bipolar, I'm also bisexual. I don't feel like I'm part of an oppressed community, but maybe the oppression is ...
