~Year End Reflections~
It's vaguely emo, sorry about that. And I was bored while procrastinating schoolwork. :P
1. What did you do in 2010 that you'd never done before?
Go to a (real) concert, see skating live, be in a (real, or non-church) play and seeing a professional one. Probably some other stuff I can't think of.
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I didn't make any last year. Next year, I'll probably resolve to something cliche, like losing weight. Or trying to make better grades.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
No.
4. Did anyone close to you die?
No.
5. What countries did you visit?
Ha!
6. What would you like to have in 2011 that you lacked in 2010?
Security.
7. What dates from 2010 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
I don't know...
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
An A in AP Govt and 3 on the exam. Getting my learner's permit. xD That's about all I can think of.
9. What was your biggest failure?
All of my high B's that should have been A's.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
I had the flu over one of my school breaks. I had a bad ankle.. not exactly an injury, but it was inexplicably and extremely sore for like a month.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
A ticket to US nationals, if it ever comes...
12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
Hm...
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
Some people's in my family, Republicans.
14. Where did most of your money go?
I've no money to speak of! I bought a bunch of books and Indian stuff online after Christmas last year.
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
My new figure skating obsession/SOI. Meeting Jon, Eric, and Ryan. Healthcare reform.
16. What song will always remind you of 2010?
"Shine" by Black Gold.
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
a) happier or sadder? My life is kind of worse, but overall I would say I'm.. better-adjusted and less complaining. School has made me miserable at times.
b) thinner or fatter? Uh, both. The former now, the latter at the beginning.
c) richer or poorer? Poorer.
18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
Going out/seeing friends, buying clothes because I barely have any, studying and focusing on school.
19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Procrastinating
20. How will you be spending Christmas?
Well, there's been something of a schism in our family recently. I guess I'll be going to my dad's house as always a few days before, then make the rounds between the several new factions of my mom's relatives. I'll eat some stuff hopefully, and maybe get something other than bookstore gift cards this year.
21. Did you fall in love in 2008?
Nope.
22. How many one-night stands?
Lol. Oh, several, of course...
23. What was your favorite TV program?
So You Think You Can Dance, The Big Bang Theory, Top Chef, Modern Family
24. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
Not really.
25. What was the best book you read?
Hmm. Invisible Monsters by Palahniuk or Me Talk Pretty One Day by Sedaris.
26. What was your greatest musical discovery?
Oh, where do I start. Yelle, Janelle Monae, Yann Tiersen, Lupe Fiasco, and Sufjan Stevens were probably the biggest.
27. What did you want and get?
My learner's permit.
28. What did you want and not get?
A job for my mom.
29. What was your favorite film of this year?
Harry Potter, The Social Network
30. What did you do on your birthday?
I don't remember. SOI was my main birthday present. On the actual day I had to go to school. :/
31.What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
Money. Isn't that terrible? But it's true.
32. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2010?
I dress a little less awkwardly now. I'm slowly making the transition out of perpetual jeans and t-shirts. I got a bunch of cool/unique stuff this year I love wearing.
33. What kept you sane?
Did anything? Probably distractions.
34. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
Haha. Well.. probably James Franco or someone.
35. What political issue stirred you the most?
Healthcare, DADT, the House campaign I worked on over the summer for Frank Saunders.
36. Who did you miss?
Katie, after she moved to Alabama.
37. Who was the best new person you met?
I haven't really met many new people..
38. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2010:
Um, to appreciate being a teenager even though I don't feel like a normal one sometimes. Time goes by incredibly quickly. Having little or no money makes you less materialistic and in a way, happier.
39. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
Life goes on
