[#104] Oh hey look at that. It's 2012~
I feel like it's been forever even though, no, as always, i've been on LJ every day, obsessively. Speaking of though...
i. I know a bunch of people are moving from LJ to DW. I'm personally not going to "move" but I have made an account in preparation for everyone else moving so that we can definitely remain friends. My username is tinyangl/, not that that should surprise anyone, lol. please let me know what your usernames are so we can definitely be friends. ♥♥
ii. In general, Happy New Year's and Belated Merry Christmas!!!! :DDDDDDDD For both days, I spent it with family (as per usual). We had our own little party on Christmas (where we took our usual family photo shoot session) and then yesterday, we had a party at the house with my mom's cousins from Staten Island. Which I spent hidden away in my room watching cheesy Christmas movies--aka, the usual. lol Good food! Fun times! But they left before midnight (around 9, in fact) so we actually rang in the new year with the siblings all in the living room, my parents and grandmother asleep in their rooms. lol
What did you guys do? :D I hope it was good times~
iii. Because it wouldn't be a new year without doing the year in review meme! :D
2011 in review!!!
Did you enjoy this year?
I think I did! It was very active and just a lot of different things I've never done~
What did you do in 2011 that you'd never done before?
GOD SO MUCH. ::looks at her scrapbook:: Went to the Tribeca Film Festival (which I've always wanted to do), ushered the fancy dinners at work, white-water rafting, rock-climbing, went to a midnight premiere for a movie (HARRY POTTER!!!), went to a strip club (cough), participated in Operation Santa Claus. Just yes.
Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
Yes! It was just to be happy--and I did that quite well. :D That's the same for this next year, but maybe one or two more. :D For once.
Did anyone close to you give birth?
Not yet. :D
Did anyone close to you die?
Sadly, yes.
What countries did you visit?
None, but I did travel to like 4 different states! :D
What would you like to have in 2012 that you lacked in 2011?
....A NEW LAPTOP. This needs to fucking happen already. I think this has been a goal for like 3 years. XD
What date from 2011 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
Sadly, I think 3/11/2011 is. Because it was such a big event, and so sad. D:
What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Don't know if I have one? Saving up to pay for so many different trips? Especially the big one that's coming up this one to Puerto Rico.
What was your biggest failure?
Not saving as much money as I should've? Not being able to buy another laptop?
Did you suffer illness or injury?
Nope!
Did you have to go to the hospital?
Nope! Thank god. XD
Are you registered to vote?
Yes?
What was the best thing you bought?
UM. I don't think I have a "best thing"? Cutest thing is my new Pikachu plushie? :D
Whose behaviour merited celebration?
Everyone's awesome behaviour? XD
Whose behaviour made you appalled and depressed?
Work. Just. In a group, work.
Where did most of your money go?
FOOD. CLOTHING. ...MORE FOOD. MORE CLOTHING. >.<
What did you get really, really, really excited about?
I think I was super excited for my big LV/California trip! :D
What song(s) will always remind you of 2011?
Hm. I'm not sure? Glee's "We Are Young"?
Compared to this time last year, are you:
i. happier or sadder?
Happier, I think?
ii. thinner or fatter?
Snort. The same.
iii. richer or poorer?
Ditto above, about the same.
What do you wish you'd done more?
Saved up more damn money. Slept more. lol
What do you wish you'd done less of?
Idling around. XD

Probably the Hunger Games trilogy. (Not that I've read much this year. Again. XD)

Huh. Don't think I have any. It takes a lot to make me find new music.
What did you want and get?
Er. Most of my clothes? lol
What did you want and not get?
A laptop. I NEED THAT LAPTOP ALREADY. XD Also, that stupid dress from Pacific Sun that I really really wanted, but couldn't get during Black Friday (their stupid machines were down so I couldn't pay by card. DAMN THEM ALL).
What was your favourite film of this year?
I can answer this in a future post! :D Picspam ahoy!

Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2011.
I don't know if I learned anything necessarily... XD

I pledged to do this with Cyn and Nikki! Chose the lowest amount but here's to hoping I can somehow manage writing 150k in one year. o.o I haven't written much in a long long long time. D: But at least in the beginning, I should be able to at least get some words in with je_whiteday. speaking of, assignments went out today and mine intimidates me. T.T I don't think that's ever happened. omg, i don't know what i'm going to do. really. (i hope other ppl are happy with theirs though! D: Always my biggest worry with any exchange. D:)
v. Next post should be my fandoms of 2011 picspam! XD I took too much time to do this that I couldn't get it done in time. XD ::fail:: Also, reminder to self--make mini-scrapbook post for 2012!!!! CANNOT BELIEVE WE'RE HERE ALREADY. OMG.
P.S. My iPod seems to be broken! T.T It crashed a bit ago and I can't seem to restore it. Hoping that i'll be able to fix it because there's no way in hell i want to buy a new one, thnx. >.
