Year in Review
Nanashi,
Presenting! Lala's Year! 1. What did you do in 2011 that you'd never done before?
-I saw Japanese Kodo Taiko Drummers with Jordamanin
-Said “I Love You”
-Went to Buffalo
-Learned how to ride a Segway
-Survived a Root Canal
-Went to the Symphony
-In addition to holding hands, intertwining fingers! That’s practically foreplay!
2. Did you keep your New Year's Resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
Last Year’s Resolutions:
-Continue eating healthier...add more exercise = FAIL-ish? I walk a lot. Karate kind of counts as exercise…right?
-Get a stable job = FAIL I still do Karate. I tried working at the Mississauga Convention Centre but it was not for me.
-Graduate! = FAIL. -Sky diving with Jamie = FAIL
-Own a sexy T.V to go with the PS3 slim = Michael lent me his! WIN.
-Time manage wisely = WIN
-Gossip less: I've never been one to care, so why get caught up in all of it? = WI N.
This Years' resolutions:
-Look good for Jamie’s Wedding - exercise, eat better, etc. I have eleven months!
-Graduate! It damn well better happen this year. Or else.
-Skydive: Again, it is going to be my Graduation present to myself. I refuse to attend the actual ceremony.
-Start Paying off Debt!
-Less Drama, please!
-Get my G1!!!!!
3. How did you spend New Year's Eve?
I had a New Year’s Party that felt infinitely better than last year’s. There was some ridiculousness on my behalf before it began but it ended up being amazing. The music was awesome, the finger food buffet was totes delicious and the company was even better! Jamie, Jeff, Boss, Barry, Michael, Richard, Gay Dave, Ioana, Gavin, and Jordan showed up. A lot of people had a hangover the next morning.
4. Did anyone close to you die?
Nope!
5. What countries did you visit?
I visited the U.S.A! Went to Buffalo for a weekend! Woohoo! I had to use my passport and everything!
6. What would you like to have in 2012 that you lacked in 2011?
I think my last year’s wish is still applicable this year which was: A steady job to pay all of my debts. I wish to ideally find one that generates at least 50 grand minimum (realistically: Any job that wants me)
7. What date from 2011 will remain etched in your memory and why?
Sunday October 3rd/4th, 2011. Why? I’ll never tell.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Honestly, this past year has not been the best one overall. I feel like I didn’t accomplish anything major.
9. What was your biggest failure?
Is it bad that I’ve lost count? Again, it hasn’t been a great year.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
Yes. I required a root canal and I was sick for over a month and a half. My immune system did not like me last year.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
Without a doubt, it would have to be Sexy shoes. My Betsy Johnson 5 inch corset heels and the sexy boots I own. I feel pretty wearing them.
12. Where did most of your money go?
Oh man! Transportation for work, VISA, and surprises. I regret nothing.
13. What songs will always remind you of 2011?
Sexy and I Know It - LMFAO
Someone Like You - Adele
Hold it Against Me - Britney Spears
Criminal - Britney Spears
Who’d Have Known - Lily Allen
La Isla Bonita (Extended Remix) - Madonna
Superbass - Nicki Minaj
S&M - Rhianna

14. What do you wish you'd done more of?
I wish I would’ve kept more of the promises I made to myself.
15. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Worry incessantly about others, get emotional (freakin’ feelings) and let myself stay in a rut for so long.

Actually good:
-Being Erica
