(no subject)
1. What did you do in 2007 that you'd never done before?
Took off a semester. And it was glorious. Oh, and Geoff and I got a dog. And I read the whole Harry Potter series in three weeks. Got a student loan. Referreed girl's lacrosse. Played in a college sport tournament.
2. Did you keep your New Year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I don't really remember my 2007 new years's resolutions, but probably not. And yes, everyone does... don't want to seem like a weirdo!
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Julie and my cousin's wife.
4. Did anyone close to you die?
My grandfather.
5. What countries did you visit?
I don't remember really traveling outside of the state. No wait, I went to Florida...but I guess that's still in the USofA.
6. What would you like to have in 2008 that you lacked in 2007?
Lots of things. Motivation for one.
7. What date from 2007 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
The day my grandfather died... 7.10.07
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Hm, wow. Depressing. I guess being smart enough to withdrawal completely this past semester instead of outright failing out of college.
9. What was your biggest failure?
Last semester or lack thereof.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
A couple hangovers.
11. What were the best things you bought?
Shelbie my dog... Bear the ferret, and uh, all the books... always lovin' the books.
12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
Geoff's, and my past and current roommates are pretty kickass.
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
My sister's. And _____ (better not put that one here... but it definitly counts).
14. Where did most of your money go?
Clothes, food, RENT, and books.
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
Not an exciting year... maybe living with my sister?
16. What song will always remind you of 2007?
All of the silly rap songs Geoff "discovered" and made me listen to. But seriously, the whole K-OS cd Geoff burned for me.
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
i. happier or sadder? I think the same probably. Happier in some aspects, sadder in others.
ii. thinner or fatter? Yeah, probably fatter.
iii. richer or poorer? Richer, but not by much... this time last year I was jobless, but now I've got a job, and I still don't make any money.
18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
Saving money and spending time with my sisters (whole family actually, but especially them).
19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Sleeping and complaining and worrying.
20. How will you be spending Christmas?
Spent Christmas Eve with my family, and Christmas day with Geoff's family.
22. Did you fall in love in 2007?
Already in it from before. I did fall in love with Shelbie though... and my "frats."
23. How many one-night stands?
None.
24. What was your favorite TV program?
Rock of love, Pushing Daisies, Flight of the Conchords, and Survivor.
25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
Mmm, hates a strong word. Dislike? Yes.
26. What was the best book you read?
HP series, HDM series, and The Tattoo Artist I really enjoyed.
27. What was your greatest musical discovery?
K-OS, and whatever else Geoff made me listen to (minus the crappy rap).
28. What did you want and get?
A dog, a ferret, and some money on Christmas.
29. What did you want and not get?
A laptop. And that other thing.
30. What was your favorite film of this year?
Juno was pretty good. Grindhouse. Knocked Up was hilarious.
31. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
I was 20. Whoo, big whoop I know. Not much on the actual day that I can remember. But we did have a Happy April 7th party that was for mine and other's b-days that was pretty rockin'.
32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
That thing again. But maybe not. Probably just actually finishing this last semester and being 5 classes closer to graduating.
33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2007?
Anything that's clean along with earthtones and subtle prints. Oh and layers... I love layers.
34. What kept you sane?
Geoff and my family. But Geoff was also sometimes a contributing factor to the INsanity. :)
35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
JT... anyone that can dance like that is sooo hot.
36. What political issue stirred you the most?
What's a political issue? Actually, the way the public schools are run concerning safety, drugs, weapons, etc. And their complete lockdown on the student population and total disregard for anything logical or the way the law enforcement system is run outside of their make-believe land. Seriously, you lose all rights being a high school student these days. It's ridiculous.
37. Who did you miss?
My granddad. And most currently my old roommates. I don't see them nearly enough.
38. Who was the best new person you met?
One of Geoff's coworkers Katie. Other than that, I can't really remember meeting anyone new? A year's a long time to think back.
39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2007.
People change.
40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.
"if I don't die or worse I'm gonna need a nap
at best I'll be asleep when you get back"
Took off a semester. And it was glorious. Oh, and Geoff and I got a dog. And I read the whole Harry Potter series in three weeks. Got a student loan. Referreed girl's lacrosse. Played in a college sport tournament.
