i. happier or sadder? happier, although I wasn't especially sad this time last year
ii. thinner or fatter? Thinner, I think...
iii. richer or poorer? no change, really, although my family as a whole is probably poorer...
18. What do you wish you'd done more of? homework...but that's boring...friend stuff, I suppose...reading...Cult time at CTY...(are we noticing a pattern?)

32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying? It was really pretty satisfying as it was. =)
33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2006? Winter was that-crazy-girl-with-odd-socks, summer was that-crazy-girl-with-skorts-and-flip-flops.

38. Who was the best new person you met? Couldn't possibly decide
39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2006: Never try to do anything important on a rainy Sunday when you're in a bad mood to begin with. It's kind of like operating heavy machinery on Ambien. Also, things tend to get better rather than worse.
40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year: Oh dear...this year was so uppy-downy I don't know if one song lyric would do it...perhaps "Yesterday a child went out to wander...caught a dragonfly inside a jar..fearful when the sky was full of thunder...and tearful at the falling of a star." But that still doesn't quite cover it.
