So, what am I looking towards 2012? Couple things, although they're not guaranteed, as life is.
San Diego Comic-Con 2012, most certainly. Although I am contemplating on actually getting a hotel just to ease my body. Not sure if I could handle another round of 4-6 hr round trip for 5 days straight of a commute.

Anime Expo. Maybe. Would depend on the guests attending and panels.
BotCon. Not likely. As much as I'd like to join in my fellow TF fans, various factors - primarily financial priority and planning - prevents me from attending.
Fan things... Still some projects that I REALLY want to finish.
Real life-wise, hopefully to be a lot more financially secure.
Those are my hopes, other than the usual of keeping good health and wishes of better opportunities coming my way. We'll see how the dice rolls out.
