Year survey thing that Fei did. Why not?
1. What did you do in 2004 that you'd never done before?
A few things, surprisingly enough. THIS for one...hadn't touched a computer before this year. Hadn't had a reason to.
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I haven't made a resolution in...too long to make any difference. I don't plan on making any either.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
No...though a couple of vampires turned new "children". It's the closest I've got.
4. Did anyone close to you die?
Yes.
5. What countries did you visit?
None...I've been content here.
6. What would you like to have in 2005 that you lacked in 2004?
Mortal friends. It's been an interesting experience speaking with some as equals for a change.
7. What dates from 2004 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
Saturday, September 25th...the day I first laid eyes on Alyssa. The rest of the week will live in my memory for eternity as well.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Sunrise...
9. What was your biggest failure?
Not being able to save her life.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
Nothing to speak of. No, I don't consider getting hit with a crossbow in the shoulder or falling off a building, because I felt *fine* within 24 hours. Physically at least.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
I don't want to think about it. It's better for Kaed if I don't, since he destroyed everything in my apartment!!!
12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
Ian's, I think. He saved my life countless times. And Laurel's, for MANY reasons.
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
Sark's...but I guess it's not his fault. Harold's...but it's not his fault either. Kaed's...but we've gotten past that for the most part. I don't know.
14. Where did most of your money go?
Replacing things that were in my apartment.
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
SEEING THE SUN!!!
16. What song will always remind you of 2004?
I have no idea...a song just for a year?
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
a) happier or sadder? Yes.
b) thinner or fatter? No.
c) richer or poorer? Poorer...
18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
...spent time with Alyssa...
19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Running for my life/evading stupid hunters.
20. How will you be spending Christmas?
I don't know...
22. Did you fall in love in 2004?
Yes.
23. How many one-night stands?
None.
24. What was your favorite TV program?
The news...nothing else really caught my eye this year.
25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
Yes.
26. What was the best book you read?
Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card

Evanescence
28. What did you want and got?
...another child...

A year without anything drastically bad happening.
30. What was your favorite film of this year?
Spiderman 2...I'm an old comic book junkie.
31. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
Ian, Sark, and I went out to a movie. 302. If anyone is especially curious, it was on Sept. 12th, before I met anyone around here. Funny how long ago it seems now.
32.What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
I refuse to answer that on the grounds that any horrible thing I can think of to change would irreprably alter the happiness I currently find myself in...
33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2004?
Dark. The same I've had for a while now...
34. What kept you sane?
I have no idea...honestly.
35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
I gave up fancying celebrity/public figures a long time ago...
36. What political issue stirred you the most?
Execution of angels and those who turn angels into vampires...of course.
37. Who did you miss?
Alyssa, Catherine, Marius...but I always miss Catherine and Marius.
38. Who was the best new person you met?
Laurel, without a doubt.
39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2004:
You never know what a person is truly like...
40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
There are places I'll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
In my life I love you more
"In My Life" ~ The Beatles
