My 2010
01 What did you do in 2010 that you'd never done before?
Got a new job, then went to my old job and said "I quit!". It was about time. Tried a whole bunch of new foods that I never thought I'd do. Completed NaNoWriMo! Was a bride's maid and attended a wedding. Wow - never done that before! XD
02 Did you keep your new year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
Well, I didn't start swimming, but I'm a much healthier person - both when it comes to food and mental health. I might make a resolution regarding reading more books and playing more games. So little time!
03 Did anyone close to you give birth?
No, but next year!
04 Did anyone close to you die?
Thankfully no.
05 What countries did you visit?
None.
06 What would you like to have in 2011 that you lacked in 2010?
More time with my loved ones, more time to play games, a bit more money would be nice as well. Peace and quiet.
07 What date from 2010 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
4th of January - first mail from Kin. 3rd of February - the first time I met Kin. Wow, what a night... ♥ 28th of February - Kin said he loves me. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
08 What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Starting my new job, getting my boyfriend, starting my new blog, quitting Facebook, telling it like it is, standing my ground, being true to myself and not being afraid to say what I think. Completing NaNoWriMo.
09 What was your biggest failure?
Feeling insecure and unworthy, which led to unnecessary heartache and tears. But luckily, that went away.
10 Did you suffer illness or injury?
Overall good health, a couple of mental breaks, but nothing I couldn't handle.
11 What was the best thing you bought?
The Nespresso machine for my boyfriend. My HTC Desire. A few games and soundtracks. Lots of new clothes and shoes. A few stuffed pets. My new hair color. The X-mas gifts I'm going to give to family and friends.
12 Whose behavior merited celebration?
Pluvia and Kin's. And mine too. :)
13 Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
My ex.
14 Where did most of your money go?
Mostly bills and new clothes.
15 What did you get really, really, really excited about?
Emailing with Kin. Meeting Kin for the first time. Meeting Kin every other time after that. Doing fun things with Kin. The Chocolate Festival. Two game music concerts.
16 What song will always remind you of 2010?
Inevitable - Anberlin, This Love (Will Be Your Downfall) - Ellie Goulding
17 Compared to this time last year, are you:
a) Happier or sadder? So, so, SO much happier! ^____^

c) Richer or poorer? Richer! :D
18 What do you wish you'd done more of?
Gaming, reviewing, reading, laughing out loud.

Less stress. Otherwise I've done good. :)

39 Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.
I wanna be your last first kiss
That you'll ever have
Inevitable - Anberlin
The stars, the moon
They have all been blown out
You've left me in the dark
No dawn, no day
I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
Cosmic Love - Florence + the Machine
