Year in Review: 2005
1. What did you do in 2005 that you'd never done before?
Ended a relationship, worked at YPI, skinny-dipped, gotten high, driven through the city (or, rather, the outskirts) and Long Island, dropped a class, pulled an all-nighter
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
It says here that I resolved to be more social and to read Ulysses(...?). I definitely didn't read Ulysses, and I could have been more social. So no. This year I resolve to be more social again! And to stop being creepy, because that's not the way to be. And to be invited to visit Sarah Lawrence.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Just Zoe's cat.

8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
I got Marissa to admit she was in love with Tom Waits.
9. What was your biggest failure?
I fell behind in class and missed a lot of a capella concerts. Bad fanboy!
