NEw Years Survey
OK. This is another survey stolen from Jared, except it was in Kyla's LJ first. Ha.
1. What did you do in 2003 that you'd never done before?
Hooked up with someone, gone to high school. I'd say those are milestones.
2. Did you keep your New Years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
No. To tell you the truth I can't remember them. And my resolutions are to lose weight and finish a 2nd novel.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Ashley's mom did.
4. Did anyone close to you die?
No.
5. What countries did you visit?
None. Utah. Utah is full of Mormons. It is a foreign country in my book.
6. What would you like to have in 2004 that you lacked in 2003?
Um. A boyfriend.
7. What date from 2003 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
July 26th, 2003.
September 4th, 2003
November 1st, 2003
November 9th, 2003
December 16th, 2003
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Starting 9th grade. Having 3 guys like me. Hooking up. Getting a solo. Can't choose. Choose for me.
9. What was your biggest failure?
We would be here until this survey in 2005. But here's a few samplers: missing the Concert Choir auditions, screwing up at the winter concert, dumping someone
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
I wish. A broken leg equals no gym class. Oh well.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
My digital camera, except my parents paid. Clothes.
12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
Anna's. Not Ryan's, who made me cry in April.
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
Ryan's. George W. Bush's.
14. Where did most of your money go?
Books. Books, books, books, books. And candy.
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
Ummm. Camp. My birthday. High school?
16. What song will always remind you of 2003?
"Where Are You Now?" and "It's About Time"
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
i. happier or sadder? sadder
ii. thinner or fatter? fatter
iii. richer or poorer? poorer
18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
Socializing. Using my judgement.
19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Making out. Reading.
20. How did you spend Christmas?
Went to Utah! YAY! *note the sarcasm*
22. Did you fall in love in 2003?
Twice. Three times if you count one night.
23. How many one-night stands?
One. Like, a PG rated one. No sex, thank you. Not yet.
24. What was your favorite TV program?
None.
25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
Yes. I do. Quite a few people
.
26. What was the best book you read?
Sloppy Firsts, and the sequel, Second Helpings. The truth is, I read over 700 books in a year, at least. I can't remember that far back.
27. What was your greatest musical discovery?
That I have a 2 octave range. Didn't even know what a range was before. And me getting a solo.
28. What did you want and get?
Nothing. Sorry. The solo. And a boyfriend. Both fucked up in the end.

A lot. A life.
30. What was your favorite film of this year?
I really loved....Pieces of April, and Peter Pan
31. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
I had a party--a small one--10 days after (November 9th) and I turned 14. FINALLY.
32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
A real boyfriend and better grades
33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2003?
Comfortable clothes that I looked good in. Like shirts with empire waists.
34. What kept you sane?
Um. My friends, music, my cat. Writing and reading.
35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
Orlando Bloom in POTC
36. What political issue stirred you the most?
OMg! War in Iraq...abortion
37. Who did you miss?
Friends I'm not friends with anymore. Some camp people. Not really.
38. Who was the best new person you met?
Well, I sort of knew Ryan already, but we became friends in 2003.
39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2003?
Expect the worst. That way when it happens, you don't mind as much, and when stuff is good, you're happier.
(That's a Greek philosophy I discovered after I used it for a year. It's called Stoicism--in my textbook.)
40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.
"Where are you now?
I'm trying to get by
With never knowing at all
What is the chance
of finding you out there?
Or do I have to wait forever?"
