So this year I have decided on two new year's resolutions.
1) In Second Life, I will become a builder. Not a great builder but a passable one. Its high time that I learned to put prims together in a professional manner.
2) In real life I have pledged to be content being single. Not that I won't look for romance, or accept it if it comes my way, but not to be anxious about it as I am wont to do. To help with this I have begun listing things in my mind that are good about being single. I will now move my list here to LiveJournal.
* I can stay out as long as I want and not have to call anyone about it.
* When I go to the store I can just run in and don't have to wait or help anyone out of the car. Shop just for my stuff and get out.
* There is no negotiating when I want to go to the movies, I pick one and a time and go.
* I can flirt with whomever I want.
* I don't have to coordinate meals with anyone.
* I can dress however I want.
(today I dressed like this:)
( My new favorite outfit )
* I can watch TV or use the computer whenever I want.
* I can put anything I want on the walls of my apartment.

The third thing I will do this year is try to get out more be more social but that is not a resolution but a directive from my therapist.
Which brings me to this. My recent trip to California and especially visiting San Francisco has made it clear that I do not belong in Wyoming. Here I am a stranger in a land that is all too common and lacking the strange. I have decided to stop trying to assimilate here and just be content not fitting in and owning my California soul. So I will be California Dreaming a lot. I don't have much hope of finding kindred souls in Wyoming, but I will make more of an effort to travel again or host visitors from elsewhere.
There could be more misery for me here in Wyoming, more loneliness, but I will find hope, even if I never really feel at home here. I am sure I am not the only one who does not belong here.

In other news, I have determined that I am Wyoming's sole Steampunk. Another reason I do not fit in here. But there is a bright side to it, I have declared myself KING of the Wyoming Steampunks. I will probably abdicate my throne on the news of my first subject, unless of course they like me as SteamLiege. I have also Decided to annex the territories of Montana, Idaho, and the Dakotas as they seem to be void of Steampunks as well. I will lavish titles on any visitors to my court in Casper, WY (though it is our hearts that make us noble not the title) so if you ever wanted to be a Countess or an Earl or something like that, as King of the Wyoming Steampunks I would be happy to ennoble you so a fully recognized title in the SteamKingdom of Wyoming and those kingdoms, principalities, territories and Sky-Admiralties that I have diplomatic relationships with.
You may also gain a title by hosting a State Visit of the King of Wyoming SteamPunks.
I do plan on printing my own money, the Wyoming SteamBuck, but I need help designing the notes, any artists that wish to help will of course be paid in Wyoming SteamBucks.
