2006 meeeem.
Toby says PURR.
[1.] What did you do in 2006 that you have never done before? Flew alone, got pierced, held down a job, bought shit online, drove by myself (like, 2x, very short distances), drank alcohol (well, I'm TRYING), gone to Lincoln, been in a mosh pit, ridden on a ferry. That's probably enough!
[2.] Did you keep all of last year's resolutions? Well... I meant to lose weight and didn't. I meant to exercise and didn't. I did paint my wall yellow and I got my ears pierced! I had weird resolutions.
[3.] Have you any resolutions for next year? *Go on elimination diet and figure out what foods give me IBS
*Lose weight
*Exercise more, even if it's just walking/dancing
*Go abroad
*Write a novella (I'll keep writing this one until I do it)
*Be happier (I did that this year, but continuing to do it would be good)
[4.] What countries did you visit? Just this'un.
[5.] What would you like to have in 2007 that you didn't have in 2006? A job I like, a trimmer body, my good health, a driver's license, more money (of my own), fame and fortune, a zeppelin! (just seeing if you're paying attention)
[6.] What date in 2006 will remain etched in your memory? Well, the last half of July was exciting because that was Sconeborough '06. 15 September (MUSE concert!) and 29 October (PLACEBO concert!) will be looked back on fondly, as well. My birthday, because it's always good.
[7.] What was your biggest achievement of the year? Getting a job! No, wait... Getting my mental act together!
[8.] What was your biggest failure? Irritating people BEFORE I got my act together (sorry, Chesh :X), spending too much money too quickly.
[9.] Did you suffer any illness or injury? Oh, yes. IBS, injured knee, several sinus infections, headaches.
[10.] What was the best thing you bought? Tix to Muse and Placebo.
[11.] Whose behaviour made you appalled and depressed? Well... I'm not sure. Mine on some occasions.
[12.] Where did most of your money go? CDs, I think. And foodz.
[13.] What did you get really really really excited about? SEEING MUSE AND PLACEBO!!!!11 Also, Brett Anderson's forum going up.
[14.] What songs will always remind you of 2006? Brett Anderson, "Love Is Dead;" Bernard Butler, "You Just Know;" Holly Valance, "State Of Mind"/"Naughty Girl;" MC Chris, "The Tussin;" several Lily Allen songs, the whole of Muse's Black Holes & Revelations, but specifically "Starlight," "Knights of Cydonia" and "Map Of The Problematique;" Placebo, "Meds;" Goldfrapp, "Train;" Oasis, "Supersonic;" pretty much every Scissor Sisters song; Sneaker Pimps, "Sick;" IAMX, "Sailor" & "President."
[15.] Compared to this time last year are you :
[A] Fatter or thinner? 25 lbs. fatter. I'm going to get to the bottom of this, though.
[B] Happier or sadder? Happier!
[C] Richer or poorer? Richer, I suppose.
[16.] What do you wish you'd done more of? Dancing!
[17.] What do you wish you'd done less of? Complaining!
[18.] How will you be spending Christmas? With my parents, sibling and our four cats. We'll all be up at the crack of 8 AM to open gifts and look in our stockings, then we'll eat and cook and then we'll celebrate my Dad's birthday and have pie or cake. Then we will try to find places for our new things and probably watch a movie and knit.
[19.] Which LJ users did you meet for the first time? asscollection!!
[20.] Did you fall in love in 2006? With Chris Corner and Matt Bellamy.
[21.] How many one night stands? None!
[22] What was your favourite TV show? HOUSE MD!
[23.] Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year? Um... yes.
[24.] What was/were the best books you read? I read Neil Gaiman's Anansi Boys and that was awesome!!
[25.] What was your greatest musical discovery? Muse, Scissor Sisters or Sneaker Pimps/IAMX. Hard to say. Really hard to say.
[26.] What did you want and get? To see Muse and Placebo!
[27.] What did you want and not get? To go to London!
[28.] What was your favourite film this year? The Prestige was so fucking fantastimazing. I also adored PotC II.
[29.] What did you do on your birthday and how old were you? I turned 21 on Monday and I went to a dollar store, ate chocolate cheesecake and unwrapped gifts with my family!
[30.] What one thing would have made your year more satisfying? Losing weight/being healthy. That, or writing a lot more.
[31.] How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2006? I actually went a little punk rock this year - I'm really rocking the green and I'm having a ball with huge, colorful earrings. I also enjoyed wearing miniskirts with black leggings and black opaque stockings.
[32.] What kept you sane? Knitting, my friends, great music and during my job, I played the piano A LOT. I channeled all my retail-girl rage into it. Sadly, I haven't really touched it since.
[33.] Which celebrity did you fancy the most? Chris Corner. :O~~
[34.] Which political issue stirred you the most? Oh, probably same-sex marriage again.
[35.] Who did you miss? I missed some old friends, like Mandy.
[36.] Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned this year? You are in control of your own destiny and your own happiness! The end to depression is in your own mind.
[37.] Quote a song lyric that sums up your year: My life, you electrify my life. Let's conspire to ignite all the souls that would die just to feel alive. Muse, "Starlight."
Oh, and I got this TOTALLY BOSS (I've been waiting for a reason to say that) record today - it's Kylie's "I Should Be So Lucky!" It was $2. :D Fucking awesome. It will go on my wall.
