2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
My resolution last year was to relax and have fun, which I've succeeded at rather swimmingly. My social life has somehow managed to explode and I've been busy all the time with fun things to do. Also, my friends have all returned to me and so I am happy once more.
The other half of my resolution was better time management, which I don't think I pulled off nearly so well. Admittedly, I'm less stressed and the like, but that's more because my new program is less work intensive than because I actually improved on my own management of time.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
My friend Melody had a baby girl, she looks so cute.
4. Did anyone close to you die?
My cat, Gizmo, I loved him dearly.
5. What countries did you visit?
The U.S. I went to New York with Nikki.
6. What would you like to have in 2011 that you lacked in 2010?
Income.
7. What date from 2010 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
Bother, I don't know. November 6th, My Gran's 90th Birthday party. A good chunk of the family made it out. Another one is my Dad's family reunion, I don't remember the date, but that was the first time I had met a lot of those relatives.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
My Big bang story, the longest complete story that I've ever written.
9. What was your biggest failure?
Nano.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
Lots of minor injuries, bruises and cuts primarily. My new school program is very hands on. I also acquired a number of blisters.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
Fabric to make a quilt.
12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
I think Obama is doing really well given the circumstances, he hasn't decked anyone...yet.
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
My brother Joel.
14. Where did most of your money go?
Gas (stupid skyrocketing gas prices)
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?

Hmm...that's a tricky one. I'm going to go with...Anything by the Beatles, this was kind of my Beatles year.
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:

Alrighty, so that's my year in review. Not a bad year, if I do say so myself.
