01. What did you do in 2007 that you'd never done before?
umm. I finally got a chance to Be An Emcee For An Event. NDP’s obviously a big thing, with all the guest-of-honour and guests and the nice old folks and teachers and ex students and students and the Cedar Primary people. So, I managed to Be An Emcee for NDP, which is a big thing for me, really.
02. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
…I don’t remember, really. I usually don’t make extremely impossible or vague things. I just try to hope I’ll be a better person and I’ll do some things I didn’t do the previous year. For next year. I’d like to do fabulously exam-wise, be a good Robotics VP(maybe get us a few more prizes), lose a little more weight, stuff like that.

In a way, three people I knew in a pretty close way (dance class, school, etc) did die, and somehow I don’t know. I was sad for a bit, and I’m not forgetting anything, but I think I can say safely that I’ve gotten over the shock, and all that’s done is make me think twice before I swear at someone. (people who umm, I don’t know.. people who don’t know me too well may find it funny, but I realise I do swear a fair bit, and it’s not very nice. My tongue is sharper than it …sounds…)
05. What countries did you visit?
India in December
06. What would you like to have in 2008 that you lacked in 2007?

falulatonks
about AHAHAHAHA BOOOOOOK! And Getting the balloon(which I still have!). I just think it was such a MOMENT, and I was so happy like just being there, since it was the first time I went for the book release, and it was AWESOME.(I’m listening to mugglecast right now actually)

Christmas is over, and I spent it with Pipi, watching Golden Compass. And then when I came home I watched a bit of Sound of Music, and then we went to the temple as a family, and then…stoned at home.

measure a year in the life?
How about love? How about love? How about love? Measure in love. Seasons of
love.
Seasons of Love/Rent
