So long 2010, hello 2011

So guess who failed at keeping up with a personal blog. This girl. Epic fail. So here we go again. I'll try to keep up this time.

Alright, 2010, where should I start with you. It was definately an interesting year in my life. I'd say one of the biggest things that happen this year was I got a job gogo dancing at Aura. It is so amazing. Dancing is something I truly love and being there with the crowd having fun is such a rush. It is fun to do something that I'm passionate about.

From dancing I was lucky to meet Shannon who is basically my twin. Love that girl to no end. Naturally from dancing I have meet lots of fun people. Again, this job completely rocks.

Hmm what else, oh yeah my love life. Always a sore subject. Tried dating a friend only to be disappointed. Somehow ended up falling for Scott again. To the point that when he mentioned me moving, getting married, having kids, becoming Jewish and so on, I was all in. But then he changed his mind. I was upset of course but naturally where there is hurt, music is the cure. That same week Meg & Dia put out an album that made everything okay.

If I could sum up everything I wanted to tell Scott but didn't it would be with the lyric "Don't be careful with me, I'm not so delicate, I gave you my heart, I know the chance I'm taking, don't hesitate in love, it could leave your soul undone, you can't stick your toes in the water, you gotta jump, finally go underwater."

Then to sum of my feeling towards love in general, the lyrics to Love Song. "Love wouldn't you find me again, don't wait for my heart to mend, I wanna love in love again, why must we wait in the dark, when all you need's another heart, to make your broken heart seem fair away."

Now I have a new crush. It's not much of a secret, lol. He seems like a nice guy that makes me laugh which is awesome. It is hard to tell where he stands but I'm trying. Liking someone that lives close is so stressful, lol. Give me back long distance. Not really but those relationships are so damn easy.

Well if that doesn't work out I'm going back to the rule that brought Scott into my life.... Only date guys who understand what I mean when I say I love Aspen Mathews. Nerd status.

Another high point of the year was finishing a second book. I really need to get on top of editing and getting published. Also I read 60 books this year! Pretty much all being Urban Fantasys and Paranormal Fiction. We wouldn't talk about how many had vampires in them, haha.

I unfornately got my hair wacked off recently thanks to the stylist not understanding what keep the length meant so the end of 2010, beginning of 2011 is not going quite as planned. I have big plans for 2011 though.

Plan wise, I have Vegas in March for Shannon's post birthday week party. Hopefully we will get gogo auditions!

Then in April/May heading out to my favorite place in the world, New Jersey! Getting to see Gatsbys American Dream and The Movielife is going to be a dream come true. Hopefully more traveling plans will follow.

Personal goals, again to get published is number one. I will work hard on this. I have to. I need to work as an author. End of story.

I'm also planning to start a photo series. I did this last year but it tampered off fast. This time getting out of my house and doing something that I've always been drawn to. That is a weird way to say it when you see what I'm going to do but let's just say it will be inspired by my two favorite photos of all time. Actually one of them inspired me to get into photography in the first place. It is going to be hard without a full photoshop but oh well. I will try and maybe I'll get full photoshop.

Um, that is all I can think to say right now. I'll try to write more this year. Of course I'll still be posting stuff over at www.heatherfinley.net

Thanks for reading!

I promise feature post will be less type, more pics.
