A few shout-outs, since those are always nice.
There are no words I can say to really thank you for being there for me this year. Nothing I can do or say feels adequate. I have no clue where I would be if you hadn't been there to listen to my rambling, to poke at me when I'm being silly, to say encouraging things if I'm upset and to just be a friend when I needed one. You are my sister from another mister, and I swear that I will bother you in real life some day. Sure, sometimes you annoy me, but it's never as often as you think. You are a better person than you believe yourself to be, have some confidence in that! I hope 2013 is a better year for you, and that we continue to travel through it together. 
I don't know how you can put up with my crap sometimes. XDRight, uh, also you've been a huge influence on my art, as much as you have been a trigger of self pity at times. I know, I know, my art is good and I should feel good. But I still stare in awe not just at your awesome skills, but also your ability to produce a lot of quality art relatively regularly. That's something I admire greatly. Much like Seren, you've been there for me to during some dark moments, and I thank you for that. Looking forward to planning for the new year, and maybe possibly the year after that if everything goes well. :>
Working with you has been awesome. XD Like I do with Lupis, I admire (and want to steal) your art skills, being able to produce that collaboration and work alongside you was a real joy and honour. It's also something I want to do a lot more of in the future, should you be willing. Together, we could rule the galaxy as Artist and Other Artist.You've also just been a real pleasure to hang out with. I always enjoy the time we manage to talk or bum around, so thank you!

and probably plenty of others that I've forgotten about, thank you for being awesome friends this past year. It's been a real pleasure getting to know you all, hanging out and what not. Here's to another one, may it be even more awesome.Finally, a few resolutions... although I feel like they're not so much resolutions as they are loose goals. The word "Resolute" implies that I am determined to see this happen, no matter what it takes and I don't feel that's true. I'll certainly work towards these goals for sure, but I'm not set on making sure that they must absolutely happen no matter what... well, with one exception.
- Driver's Licence. Okay, far from art related, but I have been missing this thing in my life. I am tired on having to force myself on others in order to go and do what I want. I'm glad that they're there for me when I need them, but I need the freedom that comes with being able to drive. To go where I want when I choose, especially considering my plans for 2014. This is my big goal for this year, and I will be severely disappointed if I don't get it done.
- More Art! I need to draw more and, more importantly, finish more. I need to experiment and do background work and jsut overall improve myself, but then, when isn't that true of an artist?
- Less lazy. This is especially true when it comes to some of the social activities that I do. I have a bad habit of getting upset at something or bored and it takes me a while to work up the energy to get back into it. Probably ADD, but that's a flimsy excuse and I'll try to work harder at keeping myself accessible and involved in whatever projects I set out for myself.
I think that's really about it. Other than that, I just want to keep being awesome to people and trying to treat them with the same respect that I would like, but that's a general life aspiration rather than something to focus on for this new year. So, to everyone out there on this strange interwebby thing, I hope that you have had a happy New Year, and that the following months are fantastic for you.
