1. What did you do in 2004 that you'd never done before?
went to college. hated it. started seeing people as liberals and conservatives... got SO political. i probably realized im going to major in sociology... joined a chorus. um... finally bought a (not-so-good) game for my ps2, which i got in 2002. went over the concept of suicide in my head, but never came at all close to even start to consider doing it. so dont fucking worry about it. went one more year knowing for sure what it is i want to do with my life (thats four years running).
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
i dont do that. the only new-years resolution i ever made was to never speak to dado again, and that was in 2001, and i broke it two years later. he apologized this year, and closure was reached, i suppose.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
