2006: A Summary
What did you do in 2006 that you'd never done before?
- Moved out! Cared about the World Cup! Spent an entire summer at camp! Quit a job (twice)! Went to Europe! Made lj friends that I don't actually know in real life! Got married! It was a busy year ^__^
Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
- I didn't make any this year, but I kept a few that I made the year before (I now have almost all of You Got Game? memorized!). I'll definitely be making more this year.
Did anyone close to you give birth?
- I can never keep track anymore. So many female cousins who all seem to like getting pregnant at the same time. There are no less than THREE pregnant right now. Craziness.
Did anyone close to you die?
- My dear great uncle Frank, the youngest of mum's uncles. That was so incredibly sad.
What countries did you visit?

- Lots of things happened, but I can't remember any specific dates. I tend to be confused about the date ^__^
What was your biggest achievement of the year?
- Surviving this disgusting term without murdering many profs and being the best Special Diets staff that my boss has seen in a long time (he said so! I win!)
What was your biggest failure?
- Letting a huge crush nearly ruin the end of camp. Urgh.
Did you suffer illness or injury?
- When wasn't I sick? Most memorable moments include a really bad cold when I got back from England, a terrible ear infection in late January and a horrible neck muscle injury in March.
What was the best thing you bought?
- My white United training jacket and my £2 David Beckham calendar ♥
Whose behavior merited celebration?
- My darling mum, who overcame a crippling review of her masters thesis to write a brilliant project paper, the first written at the UofS.
Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
- Every person who voted for Stephen Harper and Jim Pankiw. SAF for being a total bastard to Ruud. Wayne and Ronnie (you know why...). The camp administrator for getting the
Where did most of your money go?
- Tuition. The most boring place it could go.
What did you get really, really, really excited about?
- The World Cup! Camp! Classes! (little did I know...) Moving out!

- Knights of Cydonia and every other song on Muse's Black Holes and Revelations
Compared to this time last year, are you...
happier or sadder? Probably sadder.
thinner or fatter? The same, which is really irritating.

What do you wish you'd done more of?
- Being with people.
What do you wish you'd done less of?
- Sitting in front of this screen.
How will you be spending New Years Eve?
- Either hiding from Mel's friends, dogsitting with my mum and grandma or at the party of someone I don't know very well. In any case, yargh.
Did you fall in love in 2006?
- Ha, not so much. One giant crush that I mentioned before, but that's it.
How many one-night stands?
- Oh, so many I lost count. What kind of a question is this?
What was your favorite TV program?
- 24! And now Torchwood. Mmm.
Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?

What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
- BAM!, the most awesomely fun collective birthday bash ever, where I turned 21 with willard_theduck and the lovely Margaret.
What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
- The erasure of this entire term, United winning the Premiership or England winning the World Cup.
How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2006?
- Most of my wardrobe is at least four years old, so I think 'dingy and worn' is pretty apt.
What kept you sane?
