(no subject)
Thanks Steph, for giving me something to do when I'm bored. =D Feel free to post more that I can later steal.
1. What did you do in 2007 that you'd never done before?
Oh boy. Went away to a foreign country with very little money, knowing no one and having no plans whatsoever, only two nights booked for when I got there. Figured out who I really am.
2. Did you keep your new year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I didn't really have any. And no, I have no new years resolutions for this year either. I don't think I believe in those, I just want to take each day as it comes and work on bettering myself each and every day.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Nope.
4. Did anyone close to you die?
No.
5. What countries did you visit?
Germany, Romania, Switzerland, France, Austria, Poland, Morrocco
6. What would you like to have in 2008 that you lacked in 2007?
More financial stability.
7. What date from 2007 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
My second week in Germany. Why? Because it really challenged me. I found out what it was like to be completely and utterly alone and lost. It was a great experience.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Getting into a bit of a better shape and figuring myself out.
9. What was your biggest failure?
Mistakes with men.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
No, I was healthy as a pea in a pod. Uhm... I'm not sure that actually makes any sense.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
Hmm, clothes. Lots and lots of clothes. And the plane ticket to Germany.
12. Whose behaviour merited celebration?
Colin.
13. Whose behaviour made you appalled and depressed?
It didn't make me appalled and depressed, but it has saddened me a bit. That's Jono.
14. Where did most of your money go?
University, clothes and gas.
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
Seeing David Gray in concert. I don't think I've ever been as excited as I was the hours before the concert.
16. What song will always remind you of 2007?
David Gray - This years love
17. Compared to this time last year, are you...
Happier or Sadder?
Happier, definitely.
Thinner or Fatter?
Thinner.
Richer or Poorer?
I think I'm in the same boat as last year really. My finances haven't improved or gotten worse.
18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
Art. Reading books I actually want to read. Gym or some sort of physical exercise.
19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Spend so much money.
20. How will you be spending Christmas?
Christmas 2007 wasn't that great. But Andrada made it good enough.
21. Did you fall in love in 2007?
Hm.
22. How many one-night stands?
One.
23. What was your favourite TV program?
Six Feet Under, although that was also in 2006. I guess Dexter since I watched it before the new years.
24. Do you dislike anyone now that you didn't dislike this time last year?
No, I don't really dislike people.
25. What was the best book you read?
Shapiro's Mao's War against Nature.
26. What was your greatest musical discovery?
Oh my god. David Gray. Also, Joni Mitchell among other great 60's 70's bands and singers. I love the music from that era.
27. What did you want and get?
Hmmm... Heathers room when she moved out and lots of new stuff to make my room perfect.
28. What did you want and not get?
Macbook.
29. What movies have you seen at the theatre this year, and which was your favourite?
Into the Wild. One of the best movies I've ever seen.
30. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
We went to Niagara Falls. It was a very nice, relaxing day. Oh, and I got the best haircut right before we went to Niagara Falls. I miss that haircut.
31. Was the summer a good one?
Yes. It was an excellent summer, even though by some standards it would have been awful. But my standards are different I suppose, and I thought it was superb.
32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
Having more money. Getting more things done on time. Loosing more weight.
33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2007?
Hmm... a mixture of fancy/urban/pretty.
34. What kept you sane?
Music. Friends I can talk to.
35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
Hmmm, none but right now I very much fancy Oliver August.
36. What political issue stirred you the most?
I didn't really get into any political issues, with the exception of Chinese relations to the rest of the world, which are much more political than one would think.
37. Who did you miss?
Michael.
38. Did you meet anyone amazing?
I already knew this person, but when I was young. So in a way, I met my cousin this summer - all grown up. An amazing person indeed.
39. Did you make any big decisions in 2007?
Hmm, none too big. Germany would have been my biggest.
