New Years Meme~
What did you do in 2008 that you'd never done before?
Let's see...graduated, went to Otakon, went to college, drank rum and coke (even if it was in the last few hours of 2008, lol), voted, had a relationship (sort of, I guess), um...and there's probably other stuff here too.
Did you keep your new year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
My last resolution was to figure out who I was. I'm still not close to that at all.

Not this year, I don't think.

Nope.
What countries did you visit?
None.

My graduation. Otakon. The election.

What was the best thing you bought?
Hard to say...there's too many things I bought this year to pinpoint one specific thing.
Whose behavior merited celebration?
Anisha. She definitely made the first step in repairing our friendship <3. Others are here too, of course. But she sticks out in my mind.
Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
There are certain people I'm not too happy with (even though I don't even think they realize and/or care) from home because of how they seemed to not care that I was going off to college and how they treated me throughout the summer. And I wasn't happy with how some people from college were acting.

Going out to eat at restaurants with friends. Buying stuff. All that.

Graduation. Otakon. College. The election. 8D

Probably most things from the Decemberists, because I just got into them this year.
Compared to this time last year, are you:
happier or sadder? Um...hard to say. Happier, I'll go with. 8D

richer or poorer? Richer. Scholarships helped with that.

Worked. Community service. Get more involved.

Be stressed. Have to deal with people who aren't worth getting upset over.
