Oh I want to do this too!
1. What did you do in 2005 that you'd never done before?
Kathy just reminded me of Key Club Convention @ the Long Beach Convention Center. (Muy hilarioso.) & all of that Key Club stuff is harder than I thought it would be when I got into it up to my neck. Being at the mercy of Justina.
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
Does anyone? I did but I already forgot them and I doubt I'll achieve any of them.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
I'm trying to think but naw. No one close to me got pregnant. The only person I can remember right now who's pregant is Tom Cruise, I mean, his slut. I mean, what's her name again? She was Batman's whore too. I can't think right now.
4. Did anyone close to you die?
My real life.
5. What countries/cities did you visit?
Hawaii at the wee beginning of last January and all that jazz. Solvang?
6. What would you like to have in 2006 that you lacked in 2005?
A life. (Yeah, like that's ever going to happen.)
7. What date from 2005 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
Date.. Date.. Date.. My birthday?
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Not shooting anything. Not exploding. Not imploding.
9. What was your biggest failure?
(See #8.)
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
A beautiful stress fracture in my left foot.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
Sunglasses when I went shopping with Don.
12. Whose behaviour merited celebration?
A wonderfully (small) dedicated fanbase! (cough)
13. Whose behaviour made you appalled and depressed?
Tom Cruise.
14. Where did most of your money go?
COFFEE.
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
The end of sophomore year. The end of the first half of junior year. Taking my fucking boot off. Getting stitches removed.
16. What song will always remind you of 2005?
Ringside - Struggle
17. Compared to this time last year, are you...
i. happier or sadder?
It varies so much every 3 or so months. I was probably in the same place last year but heading down while this year I'm in the same place but preparing to move up?
ii. thinner or fatter?
Fuck.
iii. richer or poorer?
At best, I'm at the same place.
18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
Drawing, writing, swimming.

(See #20.)
23. How many one night stands?
Like I have time.
24. What was your favourite TV program?
Project Runway, Laguna Beach. (I'm so sorry, God.)
25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
I bet I do. I bet also forget why and I bet that when I don't hate someone right now that I did last year it's because I forgot why.
26. What was the best book you read?
The Bell Jar.
27. What was your greatest musical discovery?
Podcasts.
28. What did you want and get?
My report card. (THIS IS NERD-CENTRAL HERE.)
29. What did you want and not get?
A longer summer. More time. Good weather.
30. What was your favourite film of this year?
I rented 5x more good movies than I saw this year in theaters and since I don't remember anything I saw in theaters, I'd say that it would be a tie between A Love Song for Bobby Long, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, I Heart Huckabees, Cruel Intentions, A Few Good Men, Virgin Suicides, Lost in Translation, Finding Neverland, and Memento. Shit, I just listed 9 movies. How about I narrow it down then to Lost in Translation, Eternal Sunshine, and I Heart Huckabees.
31. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
I had 3 birthday parties. Two were at the beach, one with family. They were all awesome and made for a wonderful sweet 16.
32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
If I didn't fuck up myself in 8th grade I'd be smarter right now. That would have helped. And if I had balls to stand up for myself more often, that would help too.
33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2005?
Fashion CONCEPT? Who the fuck do you think you're talking to? I have no concept of fashion. I wear whatever I can fit my ass into. Usually it's something dark though.
34. What kept you sane?
Fuck you.
35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
Christian Bale.
36. What political issue stirred you the most?
Gas prices and China's reawakening.
37. Who did you miss?
I don't think it's a matter of "who" I missed instead of "what" I missed, which was time.
38. Who was the best new person you met?
Best new person... that's really hard.
39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2005.
When you look over your shoulder to check that blind spot before you change lanes, make sure you check your mirrors first and that you don't suddenly swerve into the lane with oncoming traffic. That & everything in the previous journal entry.
40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.
And I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mold
(The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony)
41. Was 2005 a good year for you?
Is (the last year) ever good for me.
42. What were your favourite moments of the year?
Oo. Favorite? Beach trips of course!
43. What was your least favorite moments of the year?
Shit, that fucking AP Euro test scared the bjeezeez out of me. SAT's too. I remember (I forgot her name) and I were jumping up and down synchronized before we went into our separate testing rooms. This was also the first year I had to force myself to study for finals. I've never had to do that before.
44. Who were you with?
I was with myself of course, 24/7. I'm so surprised one of me didn't strangle another one of me during one of those heated conversations.
45. Did you make any new friends in 2005?
Yeah!! I should add that to things I'm proud of!
46. Who are your favourite new friends?
Eh. Justina? Lena? Anna? I'm thinking hard, really hard. Well, there were a bunch of single-serving friends, I'm sure. I really can't think of lots of things right now.
47. What was your favourite month of 2005?
June. Beginning of summer, my birthday, no work, pool, beach, being out of school when everyone still was in school. Hah.
48. What was your favourite song from 2005?
Ow. FAVORITE? The Notwist - Consequence or Pilot. One of those. Either one.
49. What was your favourite record from 2005?
To be honest, I was really disappointed with the new albums that came out last year, except for Nada Surf's "The Weight is a Gift" and Spoon's "Gimme Fiction." So, I turned to soundtracks instead.
50. How many concerts did you see in 2005?
No.
51. Did you have a favourite concert in 2005?
... Are you trying to make me feel worse about my lack of a social life?
52. Did you drink a lot of alcohol in 2005?
No.
53. Did you do a lot of drugs in 2005?
Caffeine. Antibiotics. Painkillers. Vitamins!
54. Did you do anything you are ashamed of this year?
When don't I do something to embarass myself?
55. What was the worst lie someone told you in 2005?
There are probably many of them but if I could remember/pick one I wouldn't type it here.
56. Did you treat somebody badly in 2005?
Tristan. :( Aw. I feel so bad.
57. Did somebody treat you badly in 2005?
Maybe, I don't think so though.
58. How much money did you spend in 2005?
I never count. (Fuck Starbucks. We need to import a Coffee Bean.)
59. What was your proudest moment of 2005?
Oh damn. :] Walking out of El Camino that Saturday afternoon knowing for sure that I would never have to take the SAT Reasoning Test ever again. Fuck yeah. What relief. And that day when Kathleen and I kicked but in (a) PSAT'S, (b) KEYC CLUB MEETING, and (c) X-COUNTRY MEET.
60. If you could go back in time to any moment of 2005 and change something, what would it be?
First of all, if I were to change anything I'd go back to 2000 and tell myself to stop trying. Right at the beginning of middle school so that all of these nasty, obsessive habits wouldn't have been there the second I was sitting in Mrs. Chalker's office pondering on whether I should take any AP's at all and if I should just kill time in the office so that I didn't have to go back to Spanish too early.
61. What are your plans for 2006?
To drag myself through it without getting too many scrapes or bruises, and no scars.
Kathy just reminded me of Key Club Convention @ the Long Beach Convention Center. (Muy hilarioso.) & all of that Key Club stuff is harder than I thought it would be when I got into it up to my neck. Being at the mercy of Justina.
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
