2006, reviewed, meme nabbed from Jenny0
What did you do in 2006 that you'd never done before?

Did you keep new year's resolutions and will you make more next year?

Nope
Did anyone close to you die?
No, actually, although my grandmother had a stroke
What countries did you visit?
USA.
What would you like to have in 2007 that you lacked in 2006?
Good exam results in the January exams, and the thing I want to get as a result
What dates from 2006 will remain etched in your memory and why?
14th of May, which was when Jen and Rich broke up.

Couple of colds, I was sick a lot as per usual.

All-Star Superman #4 and #5
Whose behaviour merited celebration?
Everyone for putting up with me, Pamela for going out with me,
Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
Craig, really, and my own in reaction to him and how other people are. And a few more people but I won't go into that. You could argue that I shouldn't mention Craig, but really, most people reading this know it and someone who dislikes me so much that he ends up moving out of a building and telling people I forced him out before turning up at the Christmas party and proceeding to coming up to me, yelling at me, calling me a complete asshole, and deciding to mingle with people and brag about it to my friends the next morning is someone who it's hard to retain sympathy for
What did you spend most of your spare cash on?
Snacks, books, CDs and comics

Oddly, given my hyper tendencies, nothing stands out. Except possibly managing to do well in my exams and going out with Pamela.
What song will always remind you of 2006?
What became of the Likely Lads - The Libertines
Compared to this time last year are you happier or sadder?
Both time the fear of exams was the dominant emotion. But Happier, I think.

Richer or poorer?
A whole lot poorer, unfortunately

Battlestar Galactica
Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
