2013 in a word: Meh
2013 in slightly more words: Yeah, it's still meh, just like last year. Deal with it.
Last year's goals:
-
Get some more work in. Money first. Then the women.Been somewhat active in the commissiony front, having worked on more asdfmovies and other things. Still waiting on the women, though.
-
Be less of an antisocial awk-wod and collaborate some more. Or just get out more.Kinda? I guess. I dunno. Have been working with people I haven't worked before, but I'm still in the middle of nowhere so not much in the way of interaction.
-Make something successful (that someone didn't commission you to do) so that you become popular and people will buy your lame shirts. Not really. Only a handful of Wonchop-exclusive shorts this year, barely breaking past the thirty-second mark.
-Try to get out of the country again, potentially to somewhere you've yet to go.In a sense. Went to France again with the family. Maybe shouldn't have spent 40 euros on a hat, mind you.
-
Try a macaron. Just cos.I tried many a macaron. They were quite yums. Didn't make me into a Japanese lesbian schoolgirl mind.
Good Stuff:-More meets and expos: MCM, Newgrounds, Summer in the City, etc. as well as a few Channel Flip shindigs.
-Getting to meet cool non-Brits for the first time, including LilDeuceDeuce, Living Tombstone and Kylee Freaking Henke.
-Getting free shit from PopCap's Peggle 2 Guy cos of that crappy pic I doodled during E3.
-Making more asdfmovies which gently massage the ego a little.
-Indulging in new tech including a new tablet, new phone and a Wii U.
-Discovering the joy of Netflix. Then learning about that plug-in that lets you watch American Netflix.
-Becoming a lot more active on Tumblr.
-Having my face on a freakin' bauble.
-So much anime.
Lame Stuff:-Not having much time/drive/imagination to work on my own stuff, mostly due to commissions. Or possibly distractions.
-Some of those commissions being really awkward to work on.
-Pork sword pork sword pork sword pork sword pork sword...
-Stupid karma preventing that day out with Kylee from being as awesome as it could've been. >
-Losing many hours of productivity arguing with that one arsehole on Wikipedia.
-The computer corner of my room getting less and less natural light.
-Missing a load of movies in the cinema due to being stuck in the house all day.
-So much anime...
Weird Stuff:-Having to animated a stickman blowjob. Yup.

Goals for 2014-Become a lot more active in uploading original content. As per my network's suggestion, I intend to try and get out at least one vid per month.
-Possibly move out of my family's house and start living where all the cool kids (and collaboration/work opportunities/ladies) are.
-Go outside of Europe again. Long stretch, Japan, otherwise maybe some con in America or something.
-Start having a proper presence in the UK expo scene, maybe with a panel or table or something.
-Maybe pick up driving again? Haven't been able to restart them due to insufficient funds, but someday.
