Another year...same answers.
Decided to do something a little different with the year end quiz. In italics are my answers from last year. Just to
1. What did you do in 2004 2003 that you'd never done before?
I became a working stiff - working 40 hours a week, Monday through Friday.
I spent a semester in Washington, DC...so there were a list of firsts associated with that.
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
Didn't make any. Might make something along the lines of lose some weight and get a decent paying job.
No, sadly I didn't. I swore not to get involved with any "ex's" and I made a few slips earlier in the year. Don't really know of any to make for next year.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Nope
Nope
4. Did anyone close to you die?
Ditto
Luckily, not this year.
5. What countries did you visit?
None...but I really am working up towards that Europe trip.
DC is like another country...but in actuality, none.
6. What would you like to have in 2005 2004 that you lacked in 2004 2003?
A good paying job that doesn't make me want to kill people.
the people I love close to me
7. What date from 2004 2003 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
Febraury 22nd...the day Matt and I became official.
June 26. My first date with Matt. It was an amazing afternoon that I will remember always. The only bad part about was that I didn't see him for almost six months afterwards.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Graduating from college and getting a cat.
Living on my own for the first time in an apartment.
9. What was your biggest failure?
Settling for things less than me...I did work to correct that, but that has left me unemployed on a fixed income. Not good.
Not really learning how to budget money in order to live on my own.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
Nothing too bad...just a cold everyother week since the begining of fall. I blamed the job for working me too hard and me for sleeping too little.
nothing too serious...I think the worst was strep throat in January.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
My kitty cat...even though he is a bitch sometimes. And my bigger better apartment....but once again..rented.
my apartment...but that is rented, but close enough. My laptop too...but that one was from the parents. So I might just have to go with my Family Guy DVD.
12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
I suck at these questions. Maybe Erin from work who took the plung before I did, giving me the courage to tell the company to shove the job up their ass.
I can think of anyone in particular.
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
Legalmatch because they overworked and underpaid the whole company and would not step up to the plate to pay a decent salary to keep good employees.
lots of people had their moments....no one takes the cake.
14. Where did most of your money go?
Working to pay of debt accumulated in years past...and rent and bills of course.
Rent, bills, and supporting my shopping habit.
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
Matt saying "I love you" after waiting 8 months...and turning 21!!!
Seeing Matt after six months...and the whole trip to DC.
16. What song will always remind you of 2004 2003?
Killers: "Somebody told me" - Matt would be the only one to get why...and I'm probably not going to tell anyone else...so just sit and wonder.
I don't mean to copy onceweightyeyes but "Hands Down". I will always think of Tommy serenading me with that song and how it was endlessly stuck in my head.
