Um, not that I can think of right now.

Um, I had an interesting love life...? Bueno that's not much of an achievement... Oh yeah, I'm #52 in my class.
9. What was your biggest failure?
Probably relationship-wise... All I know is that I was a complete boba and I fucked up.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?

Mines. LOL.
14. Where did most of your money go?

Summer fling... Muahahaha! :x And of course, the DADDY YANKEE CONCERT!

A lot of them... Mayor que yo by Mas Flow All Starts, No me dejes solo by Daddy Yankee feat. Wisin y Yandel, Tu Principe by Daddy Yankee feat. Zion y Lennox, Your Body by Pretty Ricky, Call Me by Pretty Ricky... Also, basically anything by Daddy Yankee or Zion y Lennox (b/c of their concert @ AAA).
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
i. happier or sadder? To quote Angel: "Honestly, sadder. Wiser, but sadder."

Not doing enough? (Does that make sense?)

Hell yes. I don't even want to get into that. I did some stupid stupid shit I never should've done, but I can't take back now.
22. Did you fall in love in 2005?
Yes - twice, actually. The first person I truly love and I don't regret loving him. The second, bueno, it's not love, but I just wish I didn't like him sometimes.
23. How many one-night stands?
None. Flings? One, but no one-night stands (as Whitney Houstin would say, "I'm a lady and I have class").
24. What was your favorite TV program?
Jesus Christ, I haven't watched TV in an eternity. Um, I'd say ER, Miami Ink, Growing Up Gotti, Britney & Kevin: Chaotic, North Shore, and baseball.

For a while, I really disliked my parents and I honestly felt negative feelings that I never felt or thought before. I saw them in a new light that I'd never seen them in before, but I'm over that and I've learned to appreciate and accept our differences.

Book?

32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
Um, turning in college applications much earlier? Not procrastinating so much with schoolwork? And yeah, being able to openly be with the person I love.
33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2005?
Trendier than before...? A little bit, not skankier, but like more revealing than usual and more modern.

Alexandra, defenitly.
35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
Daddy Yankee and ZION Y LENNOX!

The 2004 election?
37. Who did you miss?

38. Who was the best new person you met?
Eh, I'd say Iyari and Enyers? They're like the coolest juniors ever, LOL.
39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2005?
Oh man, what didn't I learn? Ok here it all is, summed up in a handy list...
* Everything in life, no matter how small or insignificant in might seem, happens for a reson.
* What does not kill us, makes us stronger.
* Learn from your mistakes - they defenitly make you stronger and wiser.
* This is for the girls: Treat yourself with respect. Have class and be a lady. Don't let any guy mistreat you and make you feel bad about yourself or unworthy of something. YOU are the ones in control - he has to listen to YOU. Never settle for less.
* One must do what's best for HIM/HER and no one else.
* True happiness is all that matters in life - as long as YOU are happy and satisfied with what you've accomplished, you don't need any one else's approval.
* Family is truly the most important thing in life and they're the only people that truly know YOU and what's best for you - UNFORTUNATELY. At the same time, only YOU know what's best for YOU.
* Don't be afraid to take risks every now and then - LIVE FOR THE MOMENT, but please use your head and be safe.
* Marry for TRUE love, not for anything else.
