MY HAPPY NEW YEAR
1. What did you do in 2010 that you'd never done before?
I shopped for a puppy! As in...found a breeder, contacted them on my own and went over to check them out :D
I interviewed someone for the first time! In person, that is.
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I kind of have this "laundry list" of resolutions that I try to keep each year, and when I accomplish one I just cross it off my list and add new one. Of course right now I'm not sure where I placed the list so...um...no?
For this year I think my resolutions will be simple: simplify life, be more compassionate, and earn/save more money. Not bad for three, eh?
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
...Not that I know of xP
4. Did anyone close to you die?
I hope not?
5. What countries did you visit?
Finland only T_T
6. What would you like to have in 2011 that you lacked in 2010?
Resolution. Instead of always saying I will, I will and then just sitting on it for months at a time (uh...hello underpaid job and worthless friends) maybe I would just tug at the band-aid and make my endings short and sweet. No more wishy washyness. DONT BE MEEK as my current boss says (irritatingly often).

Several, I think. I remember several "drives" we had, I remember my birthday party...

Well. I've lost my temper several times when I probably could have kept it together...you know, if I had stopped to think about it.

Yes, I had a few bad viruses. I also had quite a few stiff necks....

15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
My new job :3

40.Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
"Flash forward, and we're takin' on the world together
And there's a drawer of my things at your place
You learn my secrets and figure out why I'm guarded
You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes
But we got bills to pay
We got nothin' figured out
When it was hard to take
Yes, yes
This is what I thought about:
Do you remember, we were sittin' there, by the water?
You put your arm around me for the fist time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
Do you remember all the city lights on the water?
You saw me start to believe for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
Oh, oh, oh, oh
And I remember that fight, two-thirty AM
You said everything was slipping right out of our hands
I ran out, crying, and you followed me out into the street
Braced myself for the goodbye, cause that's all I've ever known
Then, you took me by surprise
You said, "I'll never leave you alone."
You said, "I remember how we felt, sitting by the water.
And every time I look at you, it's like the first time.
I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter.
She is the best thing that's ever been mine.""
