15) Are you registered to vote?
hmm I refuse to answer this on the grounds that it might incriminate me :)
16.) Who did you want to win Big Brother?

17) Where do you live now?

21.) What's something you learned about yourself?
22.) Any new additions to your family?
no
23.) What was your best month?
I don't have a best month - just months that are not as bad as all the others (and there are more and more of them as time goes on!!)
24.) What music will you remember 2006 by?
hmmm interesting question.....I think that I will remember 2006 best by Pink's "Im not dead" album...
25) Who has been your best drinking buddy?
drinking...who can afford drinking these days - probably A
26) Made new friends?
yes, but more importantly re-kindled friendships with old friends who I had either lost contact or fallen out with during periods of depression or self doubt.
27) New best friend?
A...
28) Favorite night out?
a couple of months back A and I headed to the Dan and caught up with a couple of people that used to frequent there and who we both drank with quite regularly...it was surprisingly one of the most wonderful nights out that I have had this year - isn't it funny how smut and alcohol and humour ALWAYS make for a great night!!
after the re-opening of hellfire I went to coffee with two friends of mine who are getting married, their company also made for one of my favourite nights out
very recently caught up with some friends to see Happy Feet - another favourite...
going to see SawIII is up there as well...
Coffee with a good friend of mine who shared secrets that made me want to hug her very tightly and not let her go
most of my nights out have been favourites
29) Any regrets?
yes....there is one evening earlier this year that I will NEVER get back.....I regret that I wasted that night
I regret not cutting people out of my life before they have a chance to hurt me
I regret doing things that I didn't want to do in the first place and the time that I have wasted
I regret that it has taken me to nearly 30 to decide what direction to take my life in....
but none of these are true regrets because I have learnt from 1-3 and 4 well....if I hadn't taken so long, then I wouldn't appreciate everything thats around me nearly as much as I do.
ok....thats quite enough sentimentality!!!!!!!
HAVE A WONDERFUL and safe NEW YEARS EVE and best wishes to all of my friends for a wonderful 2007!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
