Ringing in the last day of 2007....
...with the ubiquitous end-of-the-year recap meme:
PEOPLE.
Lost Any Friends: Somewhat. Became really estranged and disconnected from a lot of high school friends.
Gained Any Friends: Yep. College definitively does that to you. Plus there's always LJ. *grins*
Met A New Good Friend: A few good ones, I'd say. :)
YOU.
Have You Changed: .Erm...somewhat. Hopefully matured and gained in poise, lol.
New Look: A bit. I guess my looks changed with time, but I didn't do anything drastic. I wear my hair less in a ponytail now, I guess?
Biggest Conflict This Year: La familia. Debating over my great, wondrous and very expensive future.
Most Depressed Time This Year: Fleeting moments, can't pinpoint an exact one.
LOVE.
Did You Fall In Love: .Getting there. ;)
Did You Get Heartbroken: Not quite.
SEASONS.
Favorite Season This Year: Erm...summer, I guess. It was warm at least, this year. Autumn wasn't too bad either.
Least Favorite Season This Year: Maybe the end of spring. It was too hot. Especially when you're trying to study for finals!
Good Birthday: OH YESH. Lots of prezzies. ;p
FINAL QUESTIONS.
Snuck Out: Kinda.
Met A Person Who Will Change Your Life: Undoubtedly.
Had A First Something: Lol, plenty of those: clubbing, rock concert, boyfriend, etc. etc. etc.
Liked Someone Who Didn't Like You: Not sure...but sorta.
Got Bad Grades: *sigh* Physics. Both times. And Organic. :/
Got Suspended: .Oh hell noez. Paolo bless.
Slept In The Same Bed As The Opposite Sex: Yes.
Slept In The Same Bed As The Same Sex: Erm....actually no. o.O (My excuse: most of my friends that I sleepover with are guys.)
Moved States: Nope.
Got A Myspace: Okay. This is embarrassing, but yes. But I don't use it. AT ALL. Discovered Facebook instead, lol.
Done Something You Totally Regret: I'm sure that there's something. Or a few things.
In 2007 I...
[x] Broke a promise---too often, and usually to myself *sigh*
[ ] made a new best friend
[x] fallen out of love---well, I was not that much in love to start with
[x] went behind your parents back---*cringes* Sadly, yes. Many, many times. *hides in shame*
[ ] cried over a broken heart---I cried, but not because it was broken...maybe a bit bruised, at most
[x] disappointed someone close
[x] hid a secret
[x] pretended to be happy
[x] kissed in the rain---the snow counts too, right?
[ ] slept under the stars
[ ] kept your new years resolution---I don't make New Year's resolutions.
[ ] forgot your new years resolution ---...or maybe I just forgot what they were. Very possible.
[x] met someone who changed your life---several people, I hope and believe.
[ ] met one of your idols
[x] changed your outlook on life---a bit, but not much. It's much of a work in progress, lol.
[x] sat home all day doing nothing---hell yeah. Procrastination is the people's best friend.
[x] pretended to be sick---Well, it was more exaggerating illness(es) than anything else...
[ ] left the country---I WANT TO!!!!
[ ] Nearly got run over by a tram!
[x] given up something important to you---At first, then it became less important.
[x] lost something expensive---my mother's watch. The garage door-opener. Oh where do I even begin?
[x] learned something new about yourself
[x] tried something you normally wouldn't try.---Erm, I guess so. I tried a lot of new things in 2007.
[x] made a change in your life---in some ways, yes.
[x] found out who your true friends were---Found out who was not a true friend, let's put it that way.
[x] met great people---and got to know better people who turned out great.
[x] stayed up til sunrise
[x] cried over the silliest thing---*sigh* That's me all right!
[x] was never home on a weekend----It was strange and disconcerting.
[ ] got into a car accident----No, but my mother did.
[x] had friends who were drifting away from you---Sadly, yes.
[x] had a high cell phone bill---As if I could forget!
[x] wasted most of my money on food/alcohol---Haha, always! I can't save money for shizzle.
[ ] had a fist fight
[ ]went to the beach with your best friend--Can't swim and I'm allergic to the sun. Biatch.
[x]saw a celebrity---Caroline Rhea dropped by the bakery during summer (she's the plumper aunt from Sabrina, The Teenage Witch)
[x] gotten sick
[ ] crushed on more than 5 people at the same time---unless footballers count? Then it's a resounding SI.
[x] became closer to a lot of people
In these next 24 hours, I must:
1. FINISH MY DAMN STANFORD APPLIC!!!!! ;askjdf;alksjd;flkajsdlfkjasldjfa;skljfd
2. Practice violin. It's an absolute must.
3. Go to work. Am doing a quick 12 to 5:30 pm shift. Sweet. Plus they're feeding us lunch cuz it's New Year's Eve, yay!
4. PARTY LIEK THERES NO TOMORROW!!!!! And ring in 2008 with a bang. *reaches for bubblies*
5. Not forget to sleep. And stop eating so many chocoates. >.<
I accidentally sorta self-invited myself to spend have a New Year's dinner with Rom's parents. *headdesk* I am going. And I'll survive. Right?
I want to buy: The Anne of Green Gables boxed set with all 8 novels, the His Dark Materials set and the last three books from Tamora Pierce's Immortals series (the Daine ones---they're my favorite). They are all re-reads, but I really love them and I want to know them. NOAW.
I caved into popular pressure and bought Twilight two days ago. Read it and although it was certainly enjoyable, I don't think that I'll buy the next two. I didn't qutie get attached to any character and I'll borrow them from the library at most. I also bought the new issue of Vogue USA: it's terribly short, but the Nataliya Vodianova editorial is gorgeous (when isn't it, when it's her?) and Kate Hudson looks really beautiful on the cover. I wish that the Canadian subscription didn't cost 50 bucks. :/
I still haven't had time to go see all those movies!
Oh, and my bank account is running dry. Yes, even with me working and all. *headdesk* I said that I couldn't save money fo' shizzle...
