Can't keep up with memeage! There's good memes here there and everywhere!
1.What did you do in 2005 that you'd never done before?
Graduated from university, got me B.A, got my first properly paid job, and met Chris Barrie. Accomplishment.
2. Did you keep your new year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I didn't bother making any, that seems to be the best thing to do :p
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Not that I'm aware of!
4. Did anyone close to you die?
....not that I'm aware of.
5. What countries did you visit?
Oh dear, stayed in England for the entire year.
6. What would you like to have in 2006 that you lacked in 2005?
Money. And a significant other. A significant other with money, that sounds nice too.
7. What date from 2005 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
26/11/05. Thirteen years and I finally meet the man.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Me 2:1! Looked like it would neever happen.
9. What was your biggest failure?
Waiting months to get a job, I guess.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
I lost my marbles in October, we know that much.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
I'll let my iPod and Mr Flibble fight for that one.
12. Whose behaviour merited celebration?
My F-List becuase you are beautiful, beautiful people.
13. Whose behaviour made you appalled and depressed?
Those bastards who thought bombing London was A Good Idea.
14. Where did most of your money go?
University *sigh*
15. What did you get really excited about?
Let's see, Doctor Who, meeting Chris, the new Comic Strip, and generally starting afresh.
16. What song will always remind you of 2005?
Hmm, maybe Bloc Party's Two More Years. Because when you'd do anything to just get out of the situation you're in, you starting thinking, "Well, maybe in two years...". Also, Futurehead's Area becuase that was what was playing on the radio when I got the Phone Call of Acceptance!
17. Compared to this time last year, are you happier or sadder?
Look at this chart, it resembles a rollercoaster! I'd say ever so slightly happier now.

18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
More of the fun side of uni that apparently exists, and I really should have done more of my writing too if I ever want to get the damn thing finished.
19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Whatever it was that made the hours fly by without me being remotely productive.
20. How will you be spending Christmas?
Already done so - the exact same way I spend it every year. Unless you mean Xmas 2006 in which case *shrugs*
21. Did you fall in love in 2005?
Not with anyone that I wasn't already in love with. As it were.
23. How many one-night stands?
None, matey. Have we skipped a question?
24. What was your favorite TV program?
What, new one? The new series of Doctor Who. Or at least, after 'Father's Day' because I was still unsure about the first few episodes. Bad Girls was very dissapointing this year - Peep Show, however got even better IMHO. And I rediscovered the magnificence that is Joking Apart.
25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
No, not really.
26. What was the best book you read?
Thief Lord, Cornelia Funke. New fandom, yay!
27. What was your greatest musical discovery?
Arcade Fire. And that Franz Ferdinand just get Better and Bloody Better.
28. What did you want and get?
An iPod, they were made for me.
29. What did you want and not get?
The rest of the Brittas DVDs. Would it hurt to let me own that series 4 cover?
30. What was your favorite film of this year?
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, mebbee. Films didn't really grab me this year.
31. What did you do on your birthday?
Sod all, it was rubbish. Weren't even offered any wine.
32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
My Dad being rendered mute. He's so much more tolerable when not making a sound.
33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2005?
I call it 'Shit, it's 8am and I still don't know what to wear for work'.
34. What kept you sane?
Nothing, apparently.
35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
Robert Bathurst, naturally. But there's a fair bit of love for David Tennent more than ever now, and of course more love for Mr Barrie after actually interacting with him (Ooh-er).
36. What political issue stirred you the most?
The fact that the government have clearly been hit by some rays from the planet Stupid.
37. Who do you miss?
Madge - where art thou?
38. Who was the best new person you met?
*looks to the wonderful F-List.
I'm not sure Mr Barrie counts as 'new'.
39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2005.
Sometimes we all go a little crazy. Sorry, Norman Bates got that one first.
40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.
As I mentioned it before:
Bloc Party, Two More Years:
In two more years, my sweetheart, we will see another view
Such longing for the past for such completion
What was once golden has now turned a shade of grey
I've become crueler in your presence
They say: "be brave, there's a right way and a wrong way"
This pain won't last for ever, this pain won't last for ever
Two more years, there's only two more years
Two more years, there's only two more years
Two more years so hold on
You've cried enough this lifetime, my beloved polar bear
Tears to fill a sea to drown a beacon
To start anew all over, remove those scars from your arms
To start anew all over more enlightened
I know, my love, this is not the only story you can tell
This pain won't last for ever, this pain won't last for ever
You don't need to find answers for questions never asked of you
You don't need to find answers
Dead weights, balloons
Drag me to you
Dead weights, balloons
To sleep in your arms
I've become crueler since I met you
I've become rougher, this world is killing me
And we cover our lies with handshakes and smiles
And we try to remember our alibis
We tell lies to our parents, we hide in their rooms
We bury our secrets in the garden
Of course we could never make this love last
I said of course we could never make this love last
The only love we know is love for ourselves
We bury our secrets in the garden
Happy New Year to y'all. I said last year that 2005 sounded good, and give or take a few crap months that didn't belong, some good things happened afterall. Now, 2006 sounds especially shiny, let's hope it is!
Expect more memes, picspam, the promised slash run, possible fanfic if I dare to post it, and plenty of the usual rubbish from me on the other side!
