2005 Survey
1. What did you do in 2005 that you'd never done before?
Go to Disneyworld, see my nephew Eros, and bleach my hair. Getting addicted to Coke Zero and getting really really hooked on Dashboard Confessional. There's probably more but thats the main ones that stand out.
2. Did you keep your New Year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I didn't make any last year because I knew I wouldn't keep it.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
No.
4. Did anyone close to you die?
Our 8 year old family cat.
5. What countries did you visit?
Just USA.
6. What would you like to have in 2006 that you lacked in 2005?
A real job.

Surviving it? Oh and passing the Algebra prelim.

Getting a C in Topology...again.

I'd like to know of anyone who stayed healthy all 365 days... As for the injury, I suffered a blister the size of a half dollar while taking a walk in sandals.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
Probably a camcorder for Brandon. Expensive investment now, oodles of enjoyment and fun later. That boy will have so much material from his childhood. Poor guy. We'll be showing pics of him in the bathtub as a 2 year old to his girlfriends one day.

Jess for being my only LJ friend at the moment :P
