Twenty Oh Nine
What did you do in 2009 that you'd never done before?
Graduated university with an Honours degree. Sold my soul to the Dev - I mean, gover - wait, I DO mean Devil. Went for a 4-day OBS challenge and jumped off a platform fifteen feet in the air. Bought tickets to a Green Day concert 8 minutes after they went on sale. Pulled off a 2-day camp for 15-year-olds with only 3 weeks' worth of planning.
Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
Can't remember 'em. Maybe I should make a resolution to remember my resolutions.

No, but someone got married! :)
Did anyone close to you die?
My second aunt.
What countries did you visit?
Malaysia. Sad but true.
What would you like to have in 2010 that you lacked in 2009?
The motivation and the resolve to do all the things I want to do. Either that, or a boyfriend.
What date(s) from 2009 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
I can't even remember what I had for dinner last night.
What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Getting a decent job that actually PAYS, despite its soul-sucking attributes.
What was your biggest failure?
Letting things go unfinished and gaining back all that weight I lost.
Did you suffer illness or injury?
Plenty.

A lot of normal, everyday people manage to do that on a regular basis.

Into the bank, because I'm planning to run away after serving my bond.

The news about Green Day and Lamb Of God in 2010.
What songs will always remind you of 2009?
RAH RAH RA AH AH ROMA RA MA MA GA GA OOH LA LA WANT YOUR BAD ROMANCE.

i. happier or sadder? Happier, definitely.
