Ganked from the marmot: 2007 in review
I removed the questions I simply don't care about.
1. What did you do in 2007 that you'd never done before?
Fringed. :)
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I've never done a resolution before. But...next year...next year is going to be a "me" year. My health and fitness. My artistic goals. My happy home life.
6. What would you like to have in 2008 that you lacked in 2007?
Discipline.
7. What date from 2007 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
July 21st, 2007. The day they released Harry Potter 7. I know, don't hit me.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Getting back on stage.
9. What was your biggest failure?
Consistently relapsing on my body plan.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
The tickets to Winnipeg were a good idea. And I'm awfully fond of that perfume.
14. Where did most of your money go?
If we discount rent...eating out. Even if we count rent, eating out might still win. Do I look upset? :)
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
Alton Brown coming to Minnesota, even though I missed him by a week.
16. What songs will always remind you of 2007?
I made a mix. Want one?
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
i. Happier or sadder?
Happier, definitely.
ii. Thinner or fatter?
Thinner...not unsubstantially.
iii. Richer or poorer?
MUCH richer.
18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
Swimming. And writing. And swimming.
19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Watched cable.
26. What was the best book you read?
Hmmmm...Bill Bryson's "A Short History of Nearly Everything." It had nearly everything!
27. What was your greatest musical discovery?
Cyndi Lauper.
30. What was your favourite film of this year?
I saw far, far, fewer movies than ever before. Gonna say Order of the Phoenix, 'cause I almost saw it twice.
31. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
Brunch at the Cuban restaurant up the street, Art-a-whirl in NE, Grad Party for Bonnie back home, Sushi -- all surrounded by an ever-shifting cloud of friends. I turned 26.
36. What political issue stirred you the most?
A compelling documentation of the "fascist shift": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjALf12PAWc
37. Whom did you miss?
People who know the proper use of "whom."
38. Who was the best new person you met?
Mmmm...I'm going to say the Admaster cluster (work). It makes all the difference to have fun at work.
