2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?: I don't have resolutions.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?: No
4. Did anyone close to you die?: Eh, a friend of mine died, if that counts.

7. What dates from 2007 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?: May 22 (graduation day), May 14 (turning 18), Feb 7 (last high school soccer game---I don't care much, but I will remember it forever, because I will probably never again play on an organized team)
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?: Winning every math contest in Florida. USAMO isn't an achievement because I had already qualified in the past. Graduating from high school's pretty huge too.

13. Whose behaviour made you appalled and depressed?: Almost everybody else's
14. Where did most of your money go?: Food, games
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?: It depended on where I was. In Florida, I was excited about going to I-Drive/Disney/Universal or trekking outside Orlando, but in Boston, I became really excited for the weekend. Oh shoot, I was excited the most about leaving for college.
16. What song will always remind you of 2007?: Semi-constructive Criticism by Circa Survive. I listened to it nonstop during the summer of 2007.

18. What do you wish you'd done more of?: I should have went to the beach.
19. What do you wish you'd done less of?: Wasting time with certain lame motherfuckers.
20. How will you be spending Christmas?: Well this past Christmas I went to Jacksonville with my family. To be honest, it sucked.

26. What was the best book you read?: Watership Down
27. What was your greatest musical discovery?: I would have to go with Scary Kids Scaring Kids for alternative. I didn't find any new brilliant hip hop artists.

38. Who was the best new person you met?: Umm that's hard because I've met a lot of great people this year. John Regan because he brings the jokes?
39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2007: You cannot always do it alone.
40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.:
"What is a youth? Impetuous fire.
What is a maid? Ice and desire.
The world wags on,
a rose will bloom....
It then will fade:
so does a youth,
so does the fairest maid."
What Is A Youth? --- Romeo And Juliet Soundtrack
And I chose those lyrics because the year 2007 is the year I think I matured the most. And also, more than anything, it included a lot of endings. My childhood effectively came to an end. I moved out of Florida and started living on my own. Also my interests have drastically changed from those of a year or two ago.
