I can’t believe how soon Christmas is approaching. However, I am a little excited to look back on the year and write my sort-of annual “Best of” list. I’ve done it for at least a year and, if I remember, I want to keep it up.
2012 has been slower, both for the sex and love angles of my life. I get the feeling that 2013 will look better. In the mean time, I haven’t tried as many toys as I have in the past years. It’s easy to see when you look at the “Reviews” tab. However, I like to think that more of the toys I have tried have been better, which means the best of list will still be pretty full.
2012 brought with it some pretty awesome vibrators, some decent glass sex toys and even a few firsts. The Sasha harness, which unfortunately won’t make it on the best of list, was a completely new experience for me. It’s hard to believe you can still have new experiences after being at this for four years, yet here I am.
Fortunately, I didn’t have to write twenty reviews on lube. More often than not, I’ve been able to choose the toys I’ve wanted to review. I like to think that I’ve gotten better at knowing which things I will like and those that I will not, but sometimes I’m still not very good at that.
2012 wasn’t all great, though. Having my IUD replaced was something I’d waited an extra year to do. The process was much more uncomfortable than I expected and I might squeeze a post in here about that before January rolls around. I also thought that I was having a strange HPV flareup, which proved to be nothing at all
I’ve finally realized that I really don’t love silicone dildos, either. Sorry Tantus et company. The lingerie I had a chance to try was all pretty disappointing, too. Still, I think I came out on top when all is said and done. I’m looking forward to what 2013 will bring. (A new Fun Factory toy is certainly on that list!) In fact, 2013 might bring with it my first try at a video review. I am excited but mostly incredibly nervous. We’ll see how that all goes down, mmkay?
If the world doesn’t end, I think I will also be more bold when it comes to dating. My ill experience seems more related to overly-high standards than it does the actual quality of people I’m not even meeting. I’ve decided to throw out more messages rather than let less-than-awesome self esteem get me down.
This post wasn’t supposed to be about New Years resolutions, yet is certainly seems to be wrapping up that way, doesn’t it? The common theme seems to be that I want to be more bold. I want to get out of my comfort zone. To be honest, I’ve done a little bit of that already, but I want to keep doing that. I think it will be good for me.
