1. What did you do in 2010 that you'd never done before?
Made a costume 100% by myself, including design, pattern drafting, and construction. Also, met someone from a dating website.
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I promised to have a better year than 2009, and that was most certainly accomplished. My goal for 2011 is to be more zen, man.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
... I think my cousin. They're not exactly close to me, nor do I keep up with them.
4. Did anyone close to you die?
Thank God, no. I'm totally not ready for that.

I never leave the US... except that one time...
6. What would you like to have in 2011 that you lacked in 2010?
I would like to graduate college and start my career, wherever that may be.
7. What date from 2010 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
New Years, smoking my pipe in Austin, Texas. It was the perfect start to 2010. DragonCon 2010 was also the best one I've ever attended. And this Christmas trip with my family was my first white Christmas, orz.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Bumping up my portfolio, pushing my costumes to the next level.
9. What was your biggest failure?
Falling for a loser.

11. What was the best thing you bought?
Uhhhh... my pet cat, Bebin. Does he count?
12. Whose behaviour merited celebration?
Honestly? I think mine. Maybe it's selfish, but I forced myself last year to stop partaking in gossip and backstabbing. I even started standing up for people. :3 Pat on the back~
13. Whose behaviour made you appalled and depressed?
My aunt who attacked my mother and told my grandma that her children were more important than the rest of the family.

Adopting my second son, Bebin. Working on The Walking Dead.
16. What song will always remind you of 2010?
... Dude, I can't think of any notable songs. I'll just say Daft Punk. It's been a very Daft Punk year.
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
i. happier or sadder? Same. But my outlook on life is much better.
ii. thinner or fatter? Same.
iii. richer or poorer? Same. Actually... more school loans probably makes me poorer, lol.
18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
Writing, writing, writing!!!
19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Have my time taken up by ridiculous things at school... like meetings for graduation.
20. How will you be spending Christmas?
I went to a cabin in North Carolina with my immediate family and my family's friends. I spent a lot of time hiking, enjoying nature, and thinking deeply of my future goals.
21. At any point in the past year did you do something that you consider completely out of your usual character?
Yes. I pushed myself to be more trusting of people, and it bit me in the ass.

Never, never, never!

Yellow Jack by Josh Russell. And the best part of this is that he's teaching my senior seminar class in the Spring semester...
