8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Really standing up for myself at work and not taking bullshit anymore. Knowing that it's only a part-time job made me realize that I could just go to work and not get sucked into my boss' crap (there's a mental image for ya).
Also: the MARKS I've received thus far. Holy cripes. :D
9. What was your biggest failure?
My marks for 3rd year. Ouch. Stupid Classics.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
Planter fasciitis aka. the reason my foot disabled me practically all summer. Bah!
11. What was the best thing you bought?
Well, technically she was free...but the costs added up and she was/is damn worth it: Willow
12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
Andrew's and Erin's. Both being and doing what they want. Couldn't be more proud of them. Lauren's because she finally was accepted to MIA after 2 years of bullshit classes in college.
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed, and disgusted?
No one. Depressed maybe...but they aren't worth mentioning and no, not because I want to be a peacekeeper :P
14. Where did most of your money go?
Willow, food, outings.
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
New York City. Man, that was awesome, despite minor problems!
Returning to school (even though I had summer school hahaha) I kicked myself a little because it's an insane workload but really, I remain happy in school. My brain gets a good workout.
16. What song will always remind you of 2006?
Crazy- Gnarles Barkley.
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
a) happier or sadder?---Happier
b) thinner or fatter?--- Fatter (or same?)
c) richer or poorer?---Poorer, definitely but THAT'll change in the new year!
18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
Walking, random exploration, writing (screenplays etc), falling in love with people or reaffirming my love for people.
19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Working. I'm a friggin' work-horse.
20. How will you be spending New Year's Eve?
I have NO idea! It's either Toronto with Jeremy or bad movies and chicken with Adam! LOL
21. Did you fall in love in 2006?
Little bit.
22. How many one-night stands?
None really. I wasn't fucked and chucked anyway hahaha

Well, I have many. In terms of new faves: NCIS, Grey's Anatomy and Deal or No Deal.
24. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?

30. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
I went out for dinner and drinking with friends (oh, hilarity) and I turned 21; the legal EVERYTHING.
31.What one thing would have made your year measurably more satisfying?
Sounds weird but more sex.
