2005 In The Beginning
Where did you bring in the New Year? Las Vegas
Who were you with? My family (because... you know... nothing says "PARTY!" like being a minor... in Vegas... with your family. Meet you in the arcade.)
Did you kiss anyone at midnight? Nope, we've never been much of a kissing family.
Did you make any resolutions? I don't remember... most likely. And I most likely got over them by 12:01. I'm not one for resolutions. Yeah, sure, it's nice to use the new year as an excuse for motivation to change, but really, if you want to make a change in your life, you should do it as soon as you realize it and not schedule it at a forced time. I think that's why most of them never last.
If so did you keep them? Refer to previous question.
2005 Your Love Life
Single/Taken? Now? Single. Through the year? Chronologically speaking... Taken. Then single. Then taken. Then single. Then two quasi-romantic dating situations. Then again, single.
How many relationships did you have? Two
How many break ups? Two
2005 Bitches And Bros
Did you meet any new friends this year? Try... completely changed the dynamic of my social life. I even spent my last few hours of 2005 with new friends. It was a year of completely new friends.
Did any of your friendships end? If any did end, they slowly faded, rather than abruptly ended, due to not being able to see each other or mere indifference. There wasn't much of that "I hate you!"-"I hate you!"-"You make me sick!"-"When we make eye contact, I want to die!" drag queen drama this year (thank God).
Did you dislike anyone? Not absolutely. I don't have that kind of energy to commit so unrequitedly to anyone.
Did you get into any fights? Verbal? Plenty. (I'm a 'mo with something to say.) Physical? None. (Well, I'm a 'mo.)
Did you make any new enemies? Actually, I don't think so. For once. People are always looking for the most ridiculous reasons to hate me. I think this year they finally took a break.
Did you resolve any fights? Yeah, I generally do, given some time.
Who was your closest friend in 2005? Probably Brian, my soulmate who lives in Canada. (That's his official title: "Soul mate who lives in Canada." Or "bee eff eff" for short.) Though Nicole is up there too, as she always will be. Can't get rid of the bitch. =]
2005 The Holidays!
Did you have a Valentine? Oh, Sean... he gave me a mix CD. Even today, it still calls for a mispelling of "kyoote." Everyone say it. Kyoote.
Did the Easter bunny visit you? Yeah, but then my dad ate him for Easter dinner.
Did watch fireworks on the 4th of July? I went to Griffin's fireworks show. That kid is amazing.
Did you dress up for Halloween? I was one bicycle short of being a complete Mormon missionary. I had the short-sleeve shirt, tie, and the helmet though. And I put a post-it over "The Holy Bible" and called it a Book of Latter Day Saints. Okay, fine. So it was ghetto.
What did you do for Thanksgiving? I was in Camarillo with the cousins.
Did you make a list of gifts for the holidays? For others? Yeah, a mental one. For myself? No.
Did you receive what you wanted? Um, technically? Yes. I got it a week before Christmas. Then lost it two days later. But for argument's sake, yes... I did get it. I guess I should have been more specific about how long I'd get to keep it.
2005 Your BIRTHDAY!
How old did you turn? 16
What did you do for your birthday? Hung out with Jaynie, Steven, and Kayla. We had croissants and lattes at Perks, loitered in the Wilson quad as we sang songs at the top of our lungs, then sat in the history section at Borders while I cried for a few hours. (Alex broke up with me that day.) Then my parents took Kayla and me out to the Elephant Bar for dinner. It was quite the interesting birthday.
Did you have a party? No
Did you get any presents? Not really. Okay, really, that birthday sucked. Sweet 16, my aging ass.
2005 The Memories and Accomplishments!
Funniest Memory? It's times like this when I wish I blogged more often. Um, I really don't remember a single funniest memory. There were so many. I practically live funny moments. It's sustenance for me. But if I have to choose, right now, I would say that one night at Lizzie's over the summer when I got the most drunk I've ever gotten in my entire life. We. were. fucked. up. The funniest part may have been running around her backyard in our underwear looking for fairies, but to no avail. Or maybe when I tried to coherently explain to Lizzie what she and I were doing lying down in the middle of the street, thinking that Lizzie was one of her neighbors. I was so scared we were caught and had no idea it was really just her that I was talking to.
Saddest Memory? Having my heartbroken on my birthday, Coach Wells passing away, watching my mom cry in the mental hospital
Best Accomplishment? Well, I worked my way up to the top of the Loyola resume chain and survived a full semester as Stage Manager, Yearbook Editor-in-Chief, and Windowpanes Art Editor with five AP classes... Yet somehow, getting over Alex earlier this year still feels like the hardest thing I had to do. If the effort put in equals biggest accomplishment, then I guess it's that. College applications, UCLA summer class, handling this Mikey situation are up there too.
Favorite TV show? Alias, Sex & the City, Family Guy
Favorite food? This was definitely a year in Italian. Oh, and chicken in its numerous dish forms, ranging from chicken marsala to Carl's, Jr. chicken stars. And thanks to all that time in the theatre, I had a lot of pizza and Subway. But Italian was definitely my favorite this year.
Favorite stores? Fourth street vintage stores, La Bamba, J. Crew, Urban Outfitters, Tower, Apple Store, Blick
Favorite restaurants? Drago, L'Opera Ristorante, P.F. Chang's, CPK, Jerry's
Favorite piece of clothing? my J. Crew peacoat
2005 All About You
Did you change at all this year? "Yes" would be an understatement, but we here at Sarcastic Anonymous like our understatements... so, yes.
Was 2005 a good year? I guess. So much happened--a lot of it significant--that I can't NOT think it was a good year, because who knows where the hell my life would be had 2005 not happened. Yeah, I'm glad it's over, but there were too many experiences had, too many people came, too many people went, and too many life lessons learned for me to say it wasn't good. So let's just call it "good in a shitty way" if that's at all possible.
Did 2005 bring any new insights? Yes (again with the understatement)
Do you think 2006 will top 2005? If it doesn't, the higher powers that be and I are going to have a serious talk. Bitches better give me my goodness back threefold for all that I endured this year. (No, but really, 2005 was not that bad, just very emotionally draining. I'd like a year where the stress is tolerable and my emotions aren't all at such extremes.)
Do you have any goals for 2006? To get into the colleges I applied to, to find a summer job in the entertainment field (preferably at Disneyland), and to eventually move to New York, Pittsburgh, or Boston
Do you wish 2005 wouldn't end? I don't know what 2006 brings, but I've had enough of 2005.
Do you plan to do anything special for NYE 2006? NYE 2006? Meaning next year? Well, I hope to be in New York (I'm planning on staying wherever I am during my first Christmas break in order to experience winter somewhere else) with a group of new good friends. If the question meant 2005-2006 NYE, then I spent it with Bailey and company in Fullerton.
Who will you be kissing at Midnight? Who. knows.
