Well, it seems that I did complete all my goals for the year. I try not to make elaborate plans because they never seem to work out the way I intend them to.
Anyway... let's recap the year, shall we?
American Samoa became the most powerful shark protection territory.
Shark Week didn't get aired on Discovery Channel India which seemed to be another indicator for the whole "End-of-the-World" thing. The biggest indicator was the success of "Fifty shades of grey".
The World, as we know it, did not end. I was kind of looking forward to that bit of excitement ...things were getting a little dull.
Megalodon may not be the Great White's ancestor.
"Oh, Dakuwaqa!" Facebook page reached over 600 likes and actually got over 100 shares for the Christmas card! (would have been slightly disappointed if the World had ended at 99 shares).
Had a sketch made into a card for Congratulafins and another sketch translated into Chinese!
Did a few sketches for a couple of other shark conservation organisations - Hjelp Havets Haier and Shark Defenders.
Sharks did not really swim around people's backyards after hurricane Sandy.
Started an experimental store on Zazzle.
Did not get bitten by any leeches this year. Came close though.
Switched to digital drawing with Intuos 4!
Finally bought a Kindle. It's not the Beast's library but I love it.
My mother probably thinks I should be out looking for a husband and not doodling sharks.
Did not get a pony this year either.
I made shepherd's pie all by myself. But I was too nervous to taste it. Everyone else said it was nice though. (cooking is not something I do for fun).
I'm not yet tired of receiving shark-related gifts or links on my wall.
It's strange that I can't think of much else. But it's been an eventful and memorable (even though I can't remember much of it) year... I'm very grateful for everything good and bad that's happened to me. I'm a bit more grown up than I was last year.
Happy New Year, everyone! Have a wonderful 2013!
