well
Today has been pretty terrible. But it ended rather well I guess. I got all huffy about a topic on a forum I frequent (gaia). But most of the people totally supported me (language and all). XD
And yeah, today was Ernie's birthday and we celebrated by him working, then taking him to the hospital (hooray. abscessed tooth), then me working. Also, I had to cut time with Bryan and Lin short before they left for Austin again. Not that I regret the choice, just that I wish I could have hung out with them before they went home. :/
RACHEL DID A MEME. YEAH I KNOW. I DON'T BELIEVE IT EITHER.
1. What did you do in 2009 that you'd never done before?
Learned to make bentos. XD It's been a lot of fun. I need to make more this year~
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I doubt I made one. But if I did, I didn't keep it. My resolution for this year is to not break my resolution.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Yeah! I've got another nephew! XD And three of my cousins gave birth this year too. XD So many babies~
4. Did anyone close to you die?
No, thankfully
5. What countries did you visit?
Who Dat Nation!
This one. Yeah. >__>
6. What would you like to have in 2010 that you lacked in 2009?
A clean room, damnit D:<
7. What date from 2009 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
Easter. I had driven to Houston for the weekend, got less than 10 hours of sleep over the two nights I slept there and then drove to my mom's house. Then, later, drove back to Lafayette. That was terrible. XD
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Going back to school. XD I needed the time off, but I'm proud of myself for getting back into things with a new goal in mind.
9. What was your biggest failure?
That English paper I had to write. I hated the class, hated the teacher, and hated that she assigned that freaking 8 page paper. But in the end, those things got in the way of my writing. What could have been an A paper to be proud of, was a B- that I don't want to show anyone.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
Got some terrible sickness last fall. Lasted for a week and left me feeling terrible.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
my bento boxes. Gosh, that's been fun. XD
12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
Zurben's! He finally fired that shit for brains Kitchen Manager!
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
That shit-for-brains Kitchen Manager! :D
Not so much depressed. Definitely appalled. He couldn't do anything by himself (and took the credit for everyone else's work). But he took a flying leap over the line when he called (repeatedly) Jeremey (the groom), Ernie (a groomsman), and Thomas (a groomsman) during Jeremey's Engagement Party to see if any of them could work so he could leave early. And then he had the balls to tell Thomas to come in to do inventory the next day but that he wouldn't be allowed to clock in. I shit you not.
14. Where did most of your money go?
Rent. Food. Books. XD
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
Going to see Ponyo with Taryn. XD We're such Miyazaki fan girls xD
16. What song(s) will always remind you of 2009?
Greensleeves. Yeah. XD
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
i. Happier or sadder? dunno? XD
ii. Thinner or fatter? about the same
iii. richer or poorer? Poorer D: I didn't have to buy books last year
18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
studying
19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
procrastinating XD
20. How did you spend Christmas?
at my mom's for the day. then that night, a bunch of friends came to my apartment and we played mario kart and smash bros. XD
21. Did you fall in love in 2009?
I was already there. ^^
22. Who did you spend the most time on the phone with?
The person I call the most would be Ernie, the person I talk to the longest would by Chris. XD
23. How many one-night stands?
I was trying to make a pun with this, but I couldn't think of any. :/ The count is zero.
24. What was your favorite TV program?
Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations XD
25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
The before mentioned English teacher. XD She wouldn't grade my response paper because it was freaking 10 words from being a page. It's a freaking English class. Grade on content, not on length!
26. What was the best book you read?
Anthony Bourdain's "Cook's Confidential"
Yes, working in a kitchen is just how he describes.
27. What was your greatest musical discovery?

30. What was your favorite film of this year?
Oh gosh, I loved The Princess and the Frog. and Ponyo. And Ninja Assassin (but only because Rain was half-naked through the entire thing)

23 on the 23rd! Hurr hurr, just like Rach.
Went out for sushi, then we played games. XD And Lin baked me a cheesecake! <3

37. Who did you miss?
Bryan and Lin. I miss just going over to their place to just hang out, watch movies, or talk. And I miss the random phone calls at all times of the day to go do stuff. Like go to the dog park, or get coffee, or go to B&N. :/
38. Who was the best new person you met?
Emily. XD She was in 3 of 4 classes last year and she's in 2 of 5 this year. XD Anyone with pink hair it totally awesome, but she's more so cause she's a total dork like me. XD

Organizational skills. FTW.
40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
"Just get me through December
A promise I'll remember
Get me through December
So I can start again"
It super depressing. And although it does not sum it up, per se, I listened to it this year, and it sums up my Decembers for the past few years.
