Time to do New Year's memes and shit.
* what did you do in 2013 that you'd never done before?:
Moved out of the house for real and got an apartment. Also got plastic surgery. I sewed an article of clothing for cosplay for the first time, too.
* did you keep your new year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year?:
Yes! Well, I mostly lost weight by having a bunch of loose skin removed surgically, but I think that counts.
My resolutions this year:
-By this time next year I should be able to have a body that I'm completely happy with.
-I will not get anything lower than a B in any of my classes and nothing below an A in German holy shit enough of this my grade getting docked to B level because of my attendance bullshit
-I will practice my violin every day
* did anyone close to you give birth?:
-I wouldn't say she's terribly close to me anymore, but an old friend of mine from grade school did.
* did anyone close to you die?:
-I lost my grandmother on my mom's side this year. It hurt me really badly. I really loved her.
* what places did you visit?:
-Chicago, like usual. I love Chicago way too much, man. Also Indianapolis. Not much, really.
* what would you like to have in 2014 that you lacked in 2013?:
A girlfriend (I broke up with Kendall back in January, so uh). More travel (not gonna happen but a girl can dream). More fucking money good lord.
* what date from 2013 will remain etched upon your memory?:
January 13th, mine and Korey's anniversary. We really went all out for it this year and it was lovely.
* what was your biggest achievement of the year?:
Not failing all my classes probably
* what was your biggest failure?:
Can we just not talk about how interior design went for me
* did you suffer illness or injury?:
Nothing major
* what was the best thing you bought?:
I wish I had some sort of good answer for this but I really don't. The best thing I bought was easily a Hitachi. Leave it to me to answer this with sex toys.
* whose behavior merited celebration?:
...I got nothing.
* whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?:
Rosie. Hey Rosie, fuck you. I don't know what the hell I did to you since you never bothered to communicate with me, but you just cutting me off like this when all I've ever done was care is disgusting.
* where did most of your money go?:
Rent. Groceries. Textbooks. Anime figures.
* what did you get really, really, really excited about?:
ACen 2013. HOLY FUCKING SHIT KALAFINA, YUU ASAKAWA, AND HELEN MCCARTHY.
* what song[s] will always remind you of 2013:
I...wow fuck I always hate this question so much because I don't really associate music with the year it came out or anything like that. I guess I'll say Magia by Kalafina since I heard it live, but honestly a few years down the road I'll listen to Magia and think "wow this song is so badass I love it and seeing it live was incredible", but "2013" won't be in my head.
* compared to this time last year, are you:
-happier or sadder? Probably sadder. This time last year I'd been through my first semester of college and more or less kicked ass. During 2013 I had a couple classes in both spring and fall semesters that destroyed my soul a little bit. I'm spending this winter break just resting and gearing up to not let this happen anymore.
-thinner or fatter? Thinner thank God finally omg omg I'm so close to being 100% happy with my body and I don't fucking hate what I see in the mirror anymore finally
-richer or poorer? About the same, honestly, but I feel poorer. Probably because I'm in charge of paying my own rent as opposed to before when my parents took care of the student housing.
* what do you wish you'd done more of:
Had more sex with women. Practiced my violin more. Exercised more.
* what do you wish you'd done less of?:
Wasted less time being depressed about dumb shit, eaten less fattening garbage
* how will you be spending the holidays?:
Well, they're over but how did I spend them? Quietly at home with my parents and my boyfriend. It was pretty nice. Oh, though we were in Chicago for Christmas Eve. Which was super nice.
* how will you be spending new years?:
Getting hideously drunk tonight awww yeah. Then tomorrow I will sleep in late, make dinner, and mostly just roll around and play games and watch anime.
* did you fall in love in 2013?:
Nah, just stayed in love with Korey.
* how many one night stands?:
5, but 4 of them were with the same girl. I still count them as one night stands though.
* what was your favorite TV program?:
Ugh these questions always remind me of what an embarrassing weeaboo I actually am. Fucking Maoyuu Maou Yuusha okay it's not a 'TV program' it's anime I'm a nerd nerd neeeeeeeeeerd
* do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?:
Nope
* do you like anyone now that you hated this time last year?:
Nope
* what was the best book you read?:
The Hobbit. I spent most of 2013 rereading it and Lord of the Rings.
* what was your greatest musical discovery?:
....Dubstep remixes of Trouble by Taylor Swift and of the Misty Mountains song from the Hobbit I quit I am the most ridiculous person ever
* what did you want and get?:
Plastic surgery to get the loose skin off me. Figures. A new DSLR camera!!! An actual physical copy of Fate/Stay Night (the VN not the shitty anime).
* what did you want and not get?:
A trip to Germany and this is going to be my answer every entire year that I spend not in Germany. A new girlfriend.
* what was your favorite film of this year?:
I saw a lot of excellent movies and I'd probably actually have a real, non-weeaboo answer, but then Madoka Magica Rebellion came out this year so fuck everything it's Madoka Magica Rebellion and I am a weeaboo. (Some runners up would be Iron Man 3, Pacific Rim, Les Miserables, Django Unchained, and Frozen. I know Les Mis and Django came out in 2012 but I didn't see them until 2013 so I count them as 2013 and you can just deal with it)
* what did you do on your birthday?:
Korey and I went to a botanical garden and took pretty pictures of butterflies, went to dinner at Takaoka like I always do for my birthday (though in 2014 I'll be in Bloomington so nope), went to a strip club (and I made friends with one of the strippers that was really cool), then had sex in the woods huh I didn't say anything else
* what one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?:
If I'd just been in Germany the whole time fuck everything. Or how about if I didn't fucking fail my interior design class because the way it's taught here is nonsensical. Yeah let's go with that.
* how would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2013?:
Gee none of my pants fucking fit they're all too big but I'm too poor to buy new pants wow this is annoying I hate this I want new clothes. Also I wish I owned more tops that aren't just tshirts fuuuuuuck.
* what kept you sane?:
My boyfriend and Berlitz.
* which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?:
I developed a really bad lesbian crush on Cher Lloyd this year let's go with that
* what political issue stirred you the most?:
LGBT issues what a huge surprise
* who did you miss?:
Rosie but I'm just done with that now. If you're going to act like this it's your problem and I don't need someone who's going to be this fucking ridiculous out of nowhere.
* who was the best new person you met?:
Hannah from my Japanese class! She's such a sweetheart. But also my super awesome Hungarian professor I love her too can't pick between them yo.
