updating? whazzat?
Oh I suppose I should update this thingy once in a while. So let's see, what's going on in my boring life? Finals, they're hard and stuff. Bummer on that, but I think I'm going to come out of this semester alright in everything except Spanish. OMG I hates the Spanish. I need to do something about that ASAP.
Grenye and I went to go see the Narnia movie tonight, and it was great! Yay for C. S. Lewis! They really managed to pull it off, though Aslan was kind of a stretch, but then again putting someone like him in a movie is always hard. The White Witch (the actress' name is escaping me) was terriffic, and I love how they portrayed the whole conflict between her and Aslan. Good stuff. The only minor annoyance was that the projector slowly went just slightly out of focus, so your eyes were constantly trying to focus on the screen but couldn't, and it was incredibly annoying. gah. I wish they still had real humans run projectors.
It was pouring and walking back to Tenley campus we got absolutely drenched when a bus drove by. We were hardcore but very cold and wet.
I have discovered since coming to college that my dad is an excellent letter writer. You learn something new every day, neh? He has a flowing, chatty/anecdotal style that I would never have suspected. It's pretty cool actually. I wish I could write letters like that. Perhaps I need to practice more.
1. What did you do in 2005 that you'd never done before? threw up in Meg's sink
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year? Yes, more or less. I was much nicer about Clinton, and more understanding of someone. And yes I have a couple new ones. Haven't fully thought them out yet, but something about keeping in shape and another about working. Maybe one about church.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth? Not to my knowledge.
4. Did anyone close to you die? That was last year.
5. What countries did you visit? besides the USA? ummm... yeah I need to work on that.
6. What would you like to have in 2006 that you lacked in 2005? A work ethic. A JOB!
7. What date from 2005 will remain etched upon your memory, and why? not dates, just memories. Senior year things. Summer things. Collegey things.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year? Graduation from the Francis W Parker Charter Essential School. Finishing my Senior Project. Getting into AU and Cornell. Discovering Max Weber
9. What was your biggest failure? Well it might happen with my spanish final this week... So barring one being made in the next few days, I'd go with not persuing two significant opportunities in totally unrelated areas.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury? Not especially, thanks
11. What was the best thing you bought? No big purchases this year, but a couple good books were the best, if not the biggest.
12. Where did most of your money go? I have no money.
13. What did you get really, really, really excited about? My friends, The West Wing on DVD, Washington DC, being understood once in a while.
14. What song will always remind you of 2005? Skateaway - Dire Straits (dishes and car rides and people you love)
15. Compared to this time last year, are you:
Happier or sadder? Hard to say. the same level of happiness, but spread out differently.
Older or wiser? wiser
Thinner or fatter? exactly the same, I checked.
Richer or poorer? oh so poor
16. What do you wish you'd done more of? wine, women, and song
17. What do you wish you'd done less of? wasting my life on the web
18. How will you be spending Christmas? Well
19. Did you fall in love in 2005? who's to say?
20. How many one-night stands? ahehehehehoho
21. What was your favorite TV program? do you even have to ask? TWW all the way, forever. (But I watch it on DVD)
22. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year? Yes, but I feel bad about it. Jen from statistics must die.
23. What was the best book you read? Collectively, the Discworld books. Hamlet, but it doesn't count. Bad Land was good too.
24. What was your greatest musical discovery? Decemberists I suppose. Kinda last year? I dunno, I listen to what they play for me.
25. What did you want and get? a clearer understanding of many things
26. What did you want and not get? a yacht, a million dollars, and Mars
27. What was your favorite film of this year? Sin City
28. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you? I was 18, and I chilled at Dave Mullens and eventually found some people. Later on, however, I celebrated things properly up at the lake. Apparently cigars were involved, yeech.
29. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying? gaining superpowers
30. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2005? slow rennovation. I have nice shoes now though.
31. What kept you sane? once again, the old standbys: wine, women, and song. plus hot cocoa and Sean
32. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most? the loss of curvy redhead Lohan and subsequent replacement by her evil twin anorexic blond Lohan hurt a lot.
33. What political issue stirred you the most? Bush's mishandling of the international community. Though the Pat powerstruggle was very upsetting.
34. Who did you miss? The fab four (I have never before called them that, heh) Also the lake people, proud preppies that they are.
35. Who was the best new person you met? Those girls down the hall
36. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2005: Don't try and encapsulate the lessons of a year in a single sentence.
