2021 Recap

I did a lot of stuff in 2021 and can remember almost none of it. Good times.

- Passed my courses with flying colours and one of them, on dinosaurs, was DELIGHTFUL. I also learned to hate Rome. Unrelated to the dinosaurs.
- Actually won a book challenge. I made it to 50 books read! And only one DNF in the bunch.
- I played more games. I FINISHED some games. I did not finish any of the games in my previous game post.
-- I'm going to, I swear, finish the games I started. I have a bunch of to-dos on Habitica to tempt me.
--- Habitica is fun.
- Returned to City of Heroes. It's just as I remembered it. Even the fighting forums.
- Wrote some fic. Gonna link that fic now:
