fourohfourrealitynotfound2024 is officially dead and gone, so let's take a moment to celebrate everything I accomplished (and mourn everything I didn't).
2024 Goals - Results
1. Explore [City I’m living in for the next 4 months] ✅
This was a lot of fun to do! I dragged my roommate and my friends out with me a few times and I really made the most of it. It was a little sad to discover things that I don't have where I am now (Vietnamese coffee, god DAMN) but I will cherish those memories that marked the end of my senior year of college.
2. Write + post “damn, baby, you’ve got me good” (series of klance 5+1 fics I’ve been working on) ✅
I did it! It went well! This took a lot out of me but I'm really glad I did it. If you're interested, you can read it on my AO3.
3. Tat (lacemaking tecnique) a necklace ✅
I did! I forgot to post pictures of it and I'm try not to derail my workflow (it is RAPIDLY approaching 3am for me) but maybe I'll try to at some point. I turned out okay, a simple white lace strip with rainbow beads.
4. Do more sourdough (pancakes, bagels, pretzels) ✅
I didn't do the pretzels, but I did the rest! The pancakes became a staple for my breakfasts, there was a mediocre attempt at pizza dough, and I made some edible bagels and (after 2 failed attempts) learned how to slice bagels without cutting my own hand!
5. Finish my temperature blanket ✅
I finished the whole blanket, and have been using it as a throw blanket for naps in my new apartment! I also made a whole separate blanket! You can see them on my dw blog
6. Bind more of “The Blonde Collection” (my project to bind my favorite works by leblonde) ❌
I failed to do this, between not having access to a printer yet after moving and my health issues getting in the way. But I hope to pick this project back up in 2025!
7. Write (at least part of) “it takes three to play catan” (working title for my giant Keith/Lance/Hunk fic) ✅
I did this.... barely! I just finished the outline a couple days ago (after working on it for over a year and a half!!) and filled a FFF prompt that fit the first chapter on a whim! You can read more about my plans for this project on my tumblr
8. Organize something ✅
Considering I moved states and had to organize my entire apartment, we're counting this done.
9. Read 75 books ✅
I smashed this one out of the water! I completed 83 books this year!
10. Curate a more positive internet experience) ❌

Considering how 2024 has been, I think I'm allowed to fail this one and get in fights with a couple redditors, okay?
