Survey Thingy I Posted One Year Ago, Just To See How Things Have Changed...
1. What did you do in 2005 that you'd never done before? Really allowed myself to express more of my negative emotions, like anger, sadness, (although I have always expressed my sadness, but now more honestly,) etc
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year? I don't even remember what my new years resolution was last year, but for some reason I think I did keep it... As far as making one for next year, as stated in my last entry, it is learning to play guitar, and either seeing Madonna or moving back to CA.

7. What date from 2005 will remain etched upon your memory, and why? September 11, the day that I saw the Foo Fighters... it just sticks with me. Also, October 8, the day I met Liz Phair!
