9. What was your biggest failure?
being shitty with money. idk, this year was a wash for so long.

12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
pretty much everyone in my life for being so amazingly supportive when i was sick. it really, really touched me in ways i'll never share because it's amazing to know you have such good people to support you when you need it the most. god forbid anything were to ever happen to anyone, you know i've got you're back (even if we haven't spoken in forever) because i know how much it's truly needed and appreciated.
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
the douchebag who hit my sister's car two weeks ago. honestly, it's more like "if i ever find out who you are, i'm seriously going to fucking kick your ass" instead of "appalled and depressed". one of my siblings, for being unbelievably self-centered, immature and greedy. i was hoping that things were starting to get better, but apparently, i was wrong.

a brand new car?

even though i still haven't seen it, alvin and the chipmunks.

not getting sick.

my fam (only someitmes), my friends, the jeri dog.
