Back again
Hey, I'm back again. I stopped blogging for a while because no one was responding, but I haven't been doing much and thought, what the hell, I'll start it up again.
Anyways, here's a little Reminicin'/New Year quizzy that Alanis Morissette (yes, Alanis Morissette - love her) posted on her website:
THE 2005 QUIZ
--what were your favorite moments (they can ‘big’ or sweetly mundane) of 2005? I don't know if I can remember that specifically but I think getting all giddy of Uriah was really fun while it lasted...dancing the last few dances at prom with him. *sigh* Super Soap Weekend with my mom and Courtney and her sister - meeting Alicia Minshew there, meeting Jacob Young and him looking me up and down and saying, "Hey baby." Whew! *sighs in love*
--favorite books, movies, articles, tv shows, live performances? Books: Piece By Piece by Tori Amos, She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb, I Was A Teenage Fairy by Francesca Lia Block, Violet & Claire by Francesca Lia Block, Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. Movies: That's a tough one because I have to think of way back, what movies came out this year...hmm...The 40-Year-Old Virgin was hillarious! I seriously cannot think of many others at the moment...I'm sure there were more though. Articles: Like magazine articles? Anything with my favorite stars in featured interviews: Tori Amos, Alanis Morissette, Fiona Apple, etc. TV Shows: All My Children, Whose Line Is It Anyway?, Family Guy, Survivor, South Park, Queer Eye For The Straight Guy, Will & Grace, The Real World, Everybody Loves Raymond, SNL, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Girls Behaving Badly, Best Week Ever, The Surreal Life, My Fair Brady, etc. Live Performances: Anything by Tori Amos, Christina Aguilera, Alanis Morissette, Fiona Apple, etc.
--what are you the most proud of in this last year? How much I've grown.
--what do you forgive yourself for? The stupid things I've done this year...you live, you learn.
--what are you deeply grateful for? My family, friends, home, etc.
--what are the biggest differences for you between last January to this one? (example: are you in a different place geographically, spiritually, emotionally, physically, do you feel better, worse, do you feel more experienced at something?) Spiritually: I've come up with new concepts that better fit my beliefs thanks to my brother and myself. Emotionally: I've become very nostalgic and anxious. Physically: I feel a lot better about how I look now that I buy a lot better clothes and jewelry and do my hair better...stuff like that. I feel better, but like I said, very nostalgic.
--did you have enough fun this year? No, I was a little too reserved this year.
--did you say no often enough? Hard question...I think that's an "in the middle" answer.
--did you say yes often enough? Yes, I think a little too much sometimes. I think I tried to please others into liking me more when I should've stuck with what I wanted a little more.
THE 2006 QUIZ
--what excites you the most about this coming year? The mystery of what will happen. I know this year will be big because I'll be getting my own independent job and going back to school (college).
--what new thing will you try (big or small) that you’ve never tried before? Being myself 100%, exercising, and watching what I eat.
--what new commitments can you make to yourself? Exercising everyday and watching what I eat.
--what would this year have to include for it to end, in December 2006, on a fulfilled, happy note? I always spend New Years Eve with my boys: Dan & Derek, and that's exactly what I did.
--what do you see yourself benefiting from doing more of... less of? I need to spend time with them more because I truly love being with them. They are the 2 people besides my immediate family that I feel most comfortable being myself with.
--any visions for this coming year for your expression or evolution? Becoming a lot more independent.
--anything that scares you that you know you’re going to do? Being more independent is scary in itself because you are trying new things and that is anxiety-inducing. Going to college. It's a whole 'nother game than high school and I don't really know what to expect. Getting my own independent job is very scary because I don't know how qualified I am.
--any new thing you can put into place that will support you better? New resources, friends, support system? I don't think anything new.
--anything you’d like to do less of, or stop doing altogether (that you won’t beat yourself up for it you don’t)? Stop eating so damn much. Stop obsessing about petty things.
