2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I don't know if my resolution was correct, or if I just didn't really have one. I'm def. gonna keep them simple from now on.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Umm. I don't think someone really close.
4. Did anyone close to you die?
No.... let's keep it that way.
5. What countries did you visit?
Ours. ha.
6. What would you like to have in 2007 that you lacked in 2006?
Compassion to other people in icky situations that I get involved in. Try to TRULY be compassionate and understand that I hurt people in my situations whether I want to or not. Most of the time I don't. I lacked a heap that.. understanding and compassion to certain people.
7. What date from 2006 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
April 23rd (my birthday but something else) and March 21st. :(
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Getting my 1st job at age 16 and having the pay of 9.55 an hour! :) first job, too. Very proud of that.
9. What was your biggest failure?
My break-up with Gabriel.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
Umm.. Gabe gave me strep throat, haha, well he did get me really sick. I was ill for a while, actually. Other than that, I've been pretty healthy!
11. What was the best thing you bought?
My new cell phone. Or.. maybe my jackets from Armani Exchange!
12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
First off, Gabriel, because he had taken me back through everything, and although I did stupid things that convinced him that it wouldn't work out anymore, he still had the guts to be real with me. After him, Lightbulb, because he probably committed tons of bad and good shit this year. Lastly, Joyce Chang, because she's been a true friend and was there when no one else wanted to be. She was there not because she felt sorry for me, but because she truly cared for me.
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
Haha, WOW.. as if I'd write that out on the internet where those people can read it, haha! syke :)
14. Where did most of your money go?
it went to food, armani exchange, hollister, american eagle, Urban outfitters, H&M, forever21, FOOOD, FOOOOOOD, and more food! and then some on Lightbulb.
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
My 16th birthday! every moment I went out w/ Gabe, or everytime I went out w/ Lightbulb, or DQ. :) Vanessa and Ogre's parties were pretty fun, and I got excited for it, too. When my dad came back from the PI, and seeing my family in LA! :) yawp!
16. What song will always remind you of 2006?
Hmmmm.. Lost Without You, A Man That Goes, Tell Me When To Go, Best Friends (50 cent), Muscle Cars (LOL), Wanna Love You Girl.
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
i. happier or sadder: sadder.. haha how weak!
ii. thinner or fatter: fatter. haha sad.
iii. richer or poorer: OH, THE SAME! bc all my money I made is gone anyways.. :( oh well.
18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
sneaking out, PARTYING, hit up Cotilions, making out :(
19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
smoking (stoges), bitching at Gabe, lying, dating unworthy, idiotic boys (alright, MEN, but they acted like boys! hmph.), getting involved with boys who just lie and lie and aren't ready for someone mature.
20. How will you be spending Christmas?
Um.. I spent Xmas with my family. Hopefully this year, with someone. :)
21. Who did you spend most time on the phone with?
Damn... I'd have to say Gabe. Bc we did break up in March, but we talked a loot til April. So that's 4 months straight of just talking A LOOOOT. And if not him, then Lightbulb.. but that's still iffy, we hung out more than talked on the phone.
22. Did you fall in love in 2006?
Haha, does being in love for about half the year count? other than that.. nope!
23. How many one-night stands?
Ummmm.. ;) haha, syke! hooking up with guys you're dating doesn't count, or hooking up w/ someone you've hooked up with before doesn't count, right?
24. What was your favorite TV program?
FLAVOR OF LOVE! and of course SMALLVILLE for life.

Invisible Monsters. And before that, those Gossip Girls books.
27. What was your greatest musical discovery?
I guess some more underground and indie stuff you know?
28. What did you want and get?
a job, boyfriends, more clothes, shoes, make up. i more of loss this year than gained, but I gained something better than a boyfriend.
29. What did you want and not get?
laptop, car, a new Ipod, a new boyfriend, but it's okay.. i'm still young, i can get all that shit later.
30. What was your favorite film of this year?
OH SHIT. haha! well, the Prestige, Devil Wears Prada, I think that's it.
31. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
I turned 16 on april 23rd, and I had a little birthday shindig the night before. And than Gabe slept over that night so he was w/ me when it hit my bday!
32.What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
not breaking up w/ Gabe. Even though it was meant to happen at that time, it still sucked throughout the spring and summer of this year. also buying my own car, but i lagged on that one.
33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2006?
HAHA, well it hella changed. I was into really white stuff as in hollister, a&f, ae, aero, etc. but then.. i got more into the vintage look. it's really, really cute. but I guess I'm the same. Bc ever since I could remember I'd always been into EVERYTHING, but I have phases of which types of styles I feel like wearing. My mood definitely sets the tone for what kind of stuff I'll wear.

haha, i don't even know. I'm sure everyday if I were to really get into politics, I'd find something that would "stir" me on the daily.
37. Who did you miss?
Well, in the middle.. Gabe and Lightbulb. Other than that, no one really. My dad also in the beg. of the year.
38. Who was the best new person you met:
Met? Damn. no one was new. I lost touch with several friends, and got close with Joyce. but she'd alwyas been a mutual friend to begin w/.
39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2006:
Love cannot and should not be suffocated and mistreated. The further it is suffocated, the harder it is to accept the fact when it's over. Suffocation will lead to a difficult relationship which will lead to breaking up which will lead to more lessons to learn in life.
40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
Used to love him - Lauryn Hill.
As I look at what Ive done
The type of life that Ive lived
How many things I pray the father will forgive
One situation involved a young man
He was the ocean and I was the sand
He stole my heart like a thief in the night
Dulled my senses blurred my sight
I used to love him but now I dont
I used to love him but now I dont
I chose a road of passion and pain
Sacrificed too much and waited in vain
Gave up my power ceased being queen
Addicted to love like the drug of a fiend
Torn and confused wasted and used
Reached the crossroad which path would I choose
Stuck and frustrated I waited, debated
For something to happen that just wasnt fated
Thought what I wanted was something I needed
When momma said no I just should have heeded
Misled I bled till the poison was gone
And out of the darkness arrived the sweet dawn
I used to love him but now I dont
I used to love him but now I dont
Father you saved me and showed me that life
Was much more than being some foolish mans wife
Showed me that love was respect and devotion
Greater than planets deeper than oceans
My soul was weary but now its replenished
Content because that part of my life is finished
I see him sometimes and the look in his eye
Is one of a man whos lost treasures untold
But my heart is gold I took back my soul
And totally let my creator control
The life which was his to begin with
I used to love him but now I dont
