Oh there was this, by the way...
Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I resolved to maintain my weight loss and keep fit, and I managed that.
Did anyone close to you give birth?
Still reeling from all the babies of last year, can’t even remember if there were any this year.
Did anyone close to you die?
No one close to me, thankfully.
What countries did you visit?
No new countries this year. I went on a lonely road trip through the desert, which was a lot like visiting another country.
What would you like to have in 2011 that you lacked in 2010?
Well, I got the circle of friends I was hoping for, and now I want to go on many fun adventures with them.
What date from 2010 will remain etched on your memory, and why?
The weekend of September 26th was pretty great because of one Christien Bings. March 17th sucked pretty awfully, for reasons that I don’t care to explain.
Aug 11-18 was full of those moments that make life worth living.
What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Well, I lost 15 more pounds, and I got my body in pretty great shape, if I do say so. Go, team Tracey.
What was your biggest failure?
This past semester, and it wasn’t even all THAT much of a failure, but I definitely did not live up to my potential.
Did you suffer illness or injury?
Well, my heart was broken for about half the year, and Justin broke his foot, which was painful for me as well.
What was the best thing you bought?
New phone. It’s like the family I never had. ;)
Whose behavior merited celebration?
Elizabeth Merritt Kong. I would hold her aloft and sing her praises daily, if it wouldn’t get kind of awkward after a few days. Thanks for all the inspiration, and motivation, which lingers even now.
Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
Oh, he knows. No need to spread it all around.
Where did most of your money go?
I spent it on crap, most likely, instead of bills like I should.
What did you get really, really, really excited about?
Boys!! (“Midlife crisis, ‘ho!!!” -Keneally)
What song will always remind you of 2010
Bad Romance, without a doubt, but also, MGMT's Congratulations album
and The Gorillaz Plastic Beach album.
Compared to this time last year, are you:
happier or sadder? Happier
thinner or fatter? Thinner
richer or poorer? Slightly richer.
what do you wish you'd done more of?
I wish I’d spent more time making my dreams reality, instead of frittering them away in my head and losing them forever.
What do you wish you'd done less of?
Wasting time worrying about crap that doesn’t matter.
Daydreaming.
How will you be spending Christmas?
I’m doing it right now, baby! Watching Justin play Mario Galaxy 2, and playing with my new Silhouette digital cutting device, and filling out this thing.
Did you fall in love in 2010?
Yes, with a host of unlikely candidates.
What was your favorite TV program?
30 Rock and Community
Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
Nope, no hating.
What was the best book you read?
I got a giant coffee table book all about Edith Head for Xmas, pretty excited about that. Also, my World Religions textbook was pretty interesting.
What was your greatest musical discovery?
Discovered or started listening to, though I had heard of them before: Lady Gaga, Cluster, The Avalanches, Chad Vangaalen, Brett Domino, and probably others…
What did you want and get?
Friends. I love them.
What did you want and not get?
A million dollars and a pink pony.
What was your favorite film of this year?
The Hangover was this year, right? That was great. But Oh, Scott Pilgrim!!! It was just as good. I've watched them both over and over.
What did you do on your birthday?
Meh, it wasn’t the best birthday. J took me out for sushi, but our favorite place was closed, so we went to Chomp, and it was kind of gross and trendy.
What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
If that one thing hadn’t happened, and I didn’t spend half the year agonizing over it.
How would you describe your personal fashion concept for 2010?
Business Casual Clown
What kept you sane?
My great friends, David Castro and Natalie Pierce
Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
Marc Bolan, Andrew and Ben from MGMT, Brett Domino,
what political issue stirred you the most?
What’s a polit-i-kul ishooo?
Who did you miss?
Justin.
Who was the best new person you met?
Liz Merritt Kong!!!! She seriously kicks ass. But also, David, Loris, and Mike (Who I met last year, but didn’t know well enough to add to the survey) and Felicia, and wow, too many other people to name, actually. Life is good.
Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2010
Boys aren’t dumb, they’re stupid.
Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
But if I try
to feel at all
I am deceived
my mind's affected
it's empty now
as I lay down
I feel alright
my heart is racing
but it's working in your blood
which you know is not the same as love
love is only in your mind
and not your heart
