I'm back
AAAAARRRGHHHH!!!! My Internet got disconnected last week and I've been offline all freakin' week!! Due to my ISP being closed ALL WEEK for the holidays. GRRRR.
ahem.
So I'm back online now. Updates:
For Christmas I got: Mini-food processor, silk pajamas, pasta pot, Sunny Daze, two beading kits, mug, candle, $20, miniature water fountain, highlighter shaped like a computer mouse, plum jelly, bookmark, knecklace, calendar
School starts next week. Oh, how I dread it. Still, going to school for a couple of years is better than working at Hell-mart the rest of my life. What I'm signed up for (could possibly change): College Algebra (again), Western Civ (2nd half), Anthropology 101, Indians of S. America (coolest teacher around teaches this), and...Canoeing.
The last three days I've been sick. It's ruined my whole week. I had a ton of stuff planned. Monday I was going shopping with my mom to get the new ponies from Target and K-mart, then Tuesday we were going to have our writer's group Christmas party at my place, but had to scratch all both those plans.
I stole this from nychus:
1. What did you do in 2003 that you'd never done before? Work full-time and go to school full-time--at the same time
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year? Yes. I submitted stories 6 times for publication, which was my goal. Next year that goal will be higher.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth? No.
4. Did anyone close to you die? No.
5. What countries did you visit? Are you kidding? I never even left the state. I haven't gone more than 50 miles from where I live. Sad, I know.
6. What would you like to have in 2004 that you lacked in 2003? Money. Good job. Nice boyfriend. Money.
7. What date from 2003 will remain etched upon your memory, and why? I don't remember the exact date, but back in Febuary, when Columbia broke apart on re-entry
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year? Getting my own place again
9. What was your biggest failure? Not getting more done on my projects
10. Did you suffer illness or injury? Yes. Flu, sinus infections, bronchitis, ear infections, wasp sting, and various papercuts
11. What was the best thing you bought? new bookshelf?
12. Whose behavior merited celebration? Mine. ;)
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed? A certain teacher's
14. Where did most of your money go? Gas. Rent. Utilities. Food.
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about? Getting my own place. Submitting stories.
16. What song will always remind you of 2003? Tubthumping
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
i. happier or sadder? about the same
ii. thinner or fatter? thinner
iii. richer or poorer? depends. Do student loans make me richer or poorer?
18. What do you wish you'd done more of? Write
19. What do you wish you'd done less of? Being lazy
20. How will you be spending Christmas? Spent: at my mom's. Couple of Christmas parties.
22. Did you fall in love in 2003? No.
23. How many one-night stands? None.
24. What was your favorite TV program? Monk and Whose Line
25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year? A certain teacher and certain managers
26. What was the best book you read? Nothing really stands out. Most recently read: Witches Brew by Terry Brooks, The Glasswright's Progress by Mindy Klasky, and The Color of Magic by Terry Pratchet
27. What was your greatest musical discovery? Huh?
28. What did you want and get? A pony.
29. What did you want and not get? More ponies.
30. What was your favorite film of this year? Pirates of the Caribbean was good
31. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you? I can't remember.
32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying? Having tons more money, being able to travel, and/or getting something published
33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2003? Same as always. Comfortable yet strange.
34. What kept you sane? My mom. My writer's group. My LJ friends. My rice crackers.
35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most? Orlando Bloom
36. What political issue stirred you the most? war and our local politics. Strange, usually I abhor politics
37. Who did you miss? Family members that have passed away
38. Who was the best new person you met? all my LJ friends.
39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2003: cherish your money while you have it
40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year: from "One Step Too Far" by Faithless:
You can sleep forever, but still you will be tired
You can stay as cold as stone, but still you won't find peace
....
I've been waiting
I'm still waiting
ahem.
