I've been offline for the last week recovering from this absolutely insane year. I love you guys and I've missed you. <3

I wanted to share this with everyone -- my annual video project where I take 1 second of video for every day of my life. I got this idea many years ago from Darth_Angelus, who I hope will share his too!



2017 was an absolutely BANANAS year of change for me, without even looking at the stuff for the RPR! I'll touch on the RPR's year in review in a news post a little later today, but this post is more about what happened to me personally. :)
  • I took on a new 50/50 business partner
  • I merged the business that I'd been running and making my living from for over a decade with hers, and had to go through combining finances, technology, teams, processes, services, products, etc.
  • Got a new guinea pig (Mr. Ghirardhelli - the black one) and got him through the terrible teenage months, followed by a life-threatening injury
  • Moved to a new state
  • Started working in an office rather than from home
  • Hired a bunch of new people
  • Grandmother (paternal) passed away, took it a little hard
  • Bought my first car (I've largely lived in big cities with dope public transpo, what can I say)
  • Broke my first bone (toe)
  • Became a tabletop DM for really reals
  • Business partner got severely injured and I ended up taking over a portion of her duties for a time, which required learning a LOT of new skills
  • Had NO major illnesses and hardly even any colds - this is a BIG DEAL for me you guys, two years ago I had crippling pneumonia 4x in one year and didn't even view it as THAT unusual.
  • Add all the stuff going on in my personal life and with the RPR and Line of Action and my other projects and dance and my political involvement -- this year was NUTS

    Feel free to ask me questions about specific dates in the video if you want to know what's going on in a given moment. :)
Seems like you've had an interesting year, at least in comparison to mine XD

Are you looking forward to 2018?

I don't know how you find time for everything you do. Always love these videos though! Here's to a fantastic 2018 :D
Goodness that looks like a lot! I feel overwhelmed just looking at your year XD Superhero Kim, ftw! Happy New Year :) Keep up that exercise. Lord knows I need to start >.>

I love this year in review idea! I'll make my own about it. This is something I'd love to do as a way to review the positives and how much they can outweigh the negatives. :) Thank you so much for sharing, Kim!
That's so cool! It's nice to learn more about your year and all that happened. The year in review idea is really neat, I think as well. As always, keep up the awesome work!

Let's all hope that 2018 is an even greater year for all of us and the website!

Maybe this year I'll actually reach my goal weight, lol!

I always look forward to seeing your end of year video!!! I'm so stoked for how much has happened last year, let's kick some 2018 butt!! :D

Here's mine! It's my fifth in a row and it's a great way to remember every day but also to share your life with friends, especially distant ones.

I highly recommend the project to anyone that's interested in doing the same :)

I love these, I'm gonna do one! :)

As per usual Darth, our years could not look more different!:-)

Especially the images for the videos :D

I'd like to mention that Slimer was at the desk of the police station (which was in the Library).

I love seeing these every year. I wanted to make one last year, but it never happened. Maybe this year will be different!
Darth_Angelus Moderator

Do it! :)
