40 Questions for 2011
Snagged from raloria
1. What did you do in 2011 that you'd never done before?
I have been a lot more independent this year than I have in the past few. I became so dependent on my mom to do things for me I lost the little independence I had growing up. This year I promised myself that I would do things for myself. There were times she offered to help and I accepted; only because it was impossible for me to do it myself.
2. Did you keep your new year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I never make any resolutions just for the fact that it doesn’t help my self esteem issues lol. I don’t respond well to failure and I never keep to my resolutions and when I do break I feel terrible about it. The new year does put life into perspective and I try to make my quality of life better this year than the last.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
My cousin’s wife gave birth to their baby girl. :)
4. Did anyone close to you die?
My great-grandmother passed away in September.
5. What countries did you visit?
None.
6. What would you like to have in 2012 that you lacked in 2011?
Someone special would be nice or just lots of sex in general. Whore it up ya know? LOL jk. I would like to be happier this year than I was last year. 2011 was a successful year for me, but it came with a lot of struggle. I would just like to smile and it for it to mean something.

Well since it’s January 2, 2012, I’ll just let you know what I did that day. First I got up and went to work, which totally sucked by the way. As soon as I got off I went straight home, peeled off my work clothes and got into bed. I slept till about 7:30, then I showered and got ready to go to my aunt’s house. This is where I drank about nine Dos Equis (almost finished my 12 pack) and laughed the night away. After we rang in the New Year, I went home and promptly went to bed lol. No hang over the next day. Awesome.

“I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive. I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise, to fly.”
40. Single greatest moment of 2011?
I remember waking up one morning and I felt happy. The first thought in my mind wasn't about how much I hated I was alive, or how much I hated my life or how I wish things would just be better. I got up and felt good about everything that had happened up until then. There were good times and bad times, but I was satisfied how my life had changed over the year. That little moment I had in the dark in my room was a profound one. I had been so depressed for so long and to wake up and smile was incredible. I get teary thinking about it.
