No
did anyone close to you die?
Yes, someone in my family died- it was very sad, but I have lots of lovely memories of him.
what countries did you visit?
England, Wales, Germany, Italy, China, Israel, Austria, Slovenia, Hungary, Denmark
what would you like to have in 2015 that you lacked in 2014?
A bit more belief in my personality.
what date(s) from 2014 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
29th June- the first performance of Ruddigore. It was terrifyingly good!
what was your biggest achievement of the year?
Ruddigore, and managing to stay alive despite my depression getting worse.
what was your biggest failure?
Not believing in myself. Not doing anything with my writing.
did you suffer any illness or injury?
I've had so many colds this year, including one that lasted about 3 weeks. No injuries.
what was the best thing you bought?
I bought a really nice red skirt that I now wear all the time, and a great jacket, so I'm now super cool.
whose behavior merited celebration?
Jamie, fo sho. Louise, Mary, Tiina.
whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
Again, I can't name names, but I HATE being let down consistently. This year I really need to love myself and not let other people's behaviour bring me down so much.
where did most of your money go?
Clothes and food.
what did you get really, really, really excited about?
Not too much this year, actually, it's been a bit of a funny one! We moved house, which was great, and...oh! Going to Copenhagen with Jamie, and doing lots of work at the banquet for Halloween and getting to dress up. I bleached my hair this year and am dying it all sorts of crazy shades.
what song will always remind you of 2015?
Lorde- Buzzcut season. Oh my god.
compared to this time last year, are you:
a) happier or sadder?
Health-wise, happier, but definitely calmer and more sensible.
b) thinner or fatter?
Thinner- but this last month with all the beer and Christmas hasn't done me any good!
c) richer or poorer?
Richer
what do you wish you'd done more of?
Focusing on my own life.
what do you wish you'd done less of?
Obsessing over things I can't control, worrying, doing nothing.
how did you spend christmas?
Birmingham, with Happy Feet and Doctor Who.
did you fall in love in 2015?
Kind of, but not really.
how many one-night stands?
There may have been a one-night stand or two.
what was your favorite TV program?
The Apprentice, Dance Academy, Make it or Break it, Rick and Morty
do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
No, actually, just the healthy amount of fluctuation.
what was the best book you read?
Cat Country- this genius satire about China; so wonderfully bleak.
what was the best theater you saw this year?
I loved the Lion, the witch and the wardrobe at the Birmingham REP at Christmas.
what was your greatest musical discovery?
Lorde, and The Bad Plus
what did you want and get?
More actin work, more singing work, respect from a cast, an actual professional show that I produced myself.
what did you want and not get?
Some romance... *sigh*
what was your favorite film of this year?
STAR WARS!!!! Oh my god I don't know how I'm going to be able to wait for the next one!
what did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
29. This was a low-key affair which involved me getting the train up to Harrogate and meeting with Savoynet people, then had a lovely dinner cooked for me and some wine- very relaxing!
what one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
Again, some good lovin', but when I stopped worrying about that I actually had a much better time!

Very short skirts and crop tops, a lot of lace, leggings, big furry jumpers.

Spending ages doing make up, Jamie.
which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?

The whole election drama was a bit maddening.

I missed Jamie on tour, but not a whole lot else.

That's tricky, but on the whole it's probably lovely Caroline.
