2010 Meme
Done late because my eye has been dead for a few days.
1. Was 2010 a good year for you? Why?
Fantastic, eventually. It started off absolutely wretchedly, stuck in the midst of a personal crisis which for a while really messed up my life. I was so down I couldn't see any light at the end of the tunnel for a long time. I'm thankful to all the people in my life who got me through that whole shitty escapade.
Then June rolled round and I got a whole lot better very quickly. I got to AC, I met so many brilliant people, made new friends, and met my current partner Lydia who is a wonderful treasure of a person who I cherish and who makes me happy every day. Props to so many other people who've made me happy and who I can call my friends.
2. What was your favorite moment of the year?
New York. For so many reasons.

Yup :>

No but I THANKFULLY gave up with someone who's affections I did crave, for the best.

So many! Too many to name really but meeting the likes of Greg, Cashi, Doug and Audrey, as well as finally meeting people like Rochelle, this has been a fantastic year for meeting people. Lovely stuff.
17. Who are your favorite new friends?
Thats a terrible question, go away.

Oh yeah, twice, to the States both times. Both were wonderful, wonderful experiences.
20. How many different states / provinces did you travel to in 2010?
HMM, New York, Pennsylvania and Georgia. Thats pretty good for a UK resident, right?
21. Did you lose anybody close to you in 2010?
Yeah but by that point we weren't really close anymore anyway so whatever.

23. What was your favorite movie that you saw in 2010?
Inception was pretty stunning. I loved Toy Story 3 ahaha, and THE ROOM, YES.
24. What was your favorite song from 2010?
Salt in the Wound by Pendulem was something I was looking forward to hearing so much, for me it didn't disappoint.
25. What was your favorite record from 2010?
Probably Immersion? I didn't really listen to many new albums this year, which is really dreadful for me.
26. How many concerts did you see in 2010?
I got to a few; I saw Prodigy back in March which was superb, and the Manic Street Preachers for the first time since I saw them back in 2000 (my first ever gig) as well as a bunch of smaller bands.
27. Did you have a favorite concert in 2010?
Prodigy
28. Did you drink a lot of alcohol in 2010?
Oh God.
29. Did you do a lot of drugs in 2010?
I had weed for the first time in a long time! It didn't go down all that well oops.
30. How many people did you sleep with in 2010?
Just the one, thats enough for me :>
31. Did you do anything you are ashamed of this year?
Yuuuup. I'm good at being stupid and awkward and I'm genuinely sorry if I've offended or annoyed anyone at any point this year. Well almost everyone.
33. What was the worst lie someone told you in 2010?
Oh I got a bunch of classics ahahaha. I really don't want to go into specifics though because it'll annoy me too much.
34. Did you treat somebody badly in 2010?
Yeah. But as much as this shouldn't be justification for it, I fealt I did get treated pretty badly myself too. It happens in life sometimes.
35. Did somebody treat you badly in 2010?
Yeah
36. How much money did you spend in 2010?
Quite a lot, though considering I made two trips to another continent this year, nowhere near as much as a lot of people would normally have to spend on things like that. I'm a lucky person and I'm eternally grateful for other people's generosity.
37. What was your proudest moment of 2010?
Realising that there might actually be a person in me worth loving.
38. What was your most embarrassing moment of 2010?
Go away, shoo.
(being filmed drunk and passed out at AC is definately up there though).
39. If you could go back in time to any moment of 2010 and change something, what would it be?
Theres always plenty of things people will want to have done differently and things I should and shouldn't've said. But I try not to regret anything because, well, thats life. I don't want to live a life of regrets; the experiences I've had have taught me a great deal, and its important to realise that. I still feel sadness that I've hurt some people but then again, in life its unavoidable that people close to you are going to get hurt sometimes. I try to be as unselfish as I can be and try not to be a burden and a pain in the arse to people. I just hope people can forgive me for being a prat sometimes.
40. What are your plans for 2011?
Save up a lot, see Lydia as much as I can, see my friends as much as I can, get a job which will enable me to do these things more often in terms of funds. I'm not a man to lay out grand designs and have ridiculously high expectations. I just want to be happy, and those are all the things I really need to be happy. I hope you all have the happiest of years' too.
