[i confess, i'm messed up.]
1. What did you do in 2007 that you'd never done before?
went to a gig on my own. met someone in a band. was in a mosh pit, getting kicked in the face by a crowdsurfer. getting up front for gigs. asked someone out and got shot down in the nicest possible way. got yelled at by chavs outside of a cinema for being an emo. I'm not denying it, that was hilarious.
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
probably not tbh. I have... vague goals.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
nope.
4. Did anyone close to you die?
my great uncle, but I was at Toko for his funeral.
5. What countries did you visit?
none, aha.
6. What would you like to have in 2008 that you lacked in 2007?
good grades, self confidence. less flaily spazzy lj entries. housemates!
7. What date from 2007 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
Reading Festival - all the lengths we went through to get tickets only to lose them. and find some more on the floor. an awesome weekend seeing loads of bands I loved.
Amecon and Tokonatsu - because seriously, I don't remember having so much fun ever.
all the meets - from the London meet to the really tiny meets, that sometimes just consisted of two or three people. I fucking love my friends.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
staying on the MEng. ...staying single for the longest time ever?
9. What was your biggest failure?
...nearly getting bumped off the MEng.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
nothing more than my random allergies that are completely normal by now. I'm allergic to my belt buckle.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
Reading tickets [let's just say all my gig tickets...] and a ds lite.
12. Whose behaviour merited celebration?
my friends for putting up with me. aha. Anisha and Paws, cause in the last year, you two have been some of my best friends ¦3

gigs, cds.
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
gigs! Amecon and Toko too.
16. What song will always remind you of 2007?
to be honest, there's so many. Brand New - Sowing Season. My Chemical Romance - Famous Last Words. Say Anything - Wow I Can Get Sexual Too. but those are just associated with gigs. :|
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
i. happier or sadder? mm, happier, I guess.
ii. richer or poorer? poorer!
18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
work? spending time with my friends.

nope.
23. How many one-night stands?

it's a toss up between Stardust and American Gods.

40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
I called her on the phone and she touched herself--
...I am just kidding on that one.
so we bottled and shelved all our regrets
let them ferment and came back to our senses
drove back home and slept a few days
woke up and laughed at how stupid we used to be
we'll get over it
sad, strong, safe and sober
we'll move forward
and know where we went wrong
but 'you can't go home again'.
[straylight run - mistakes we knew we were making]
so yeah. '07 has been a hell of a year. ♥
ALSO WHEN DID I BECOME THE GIRL WHO KNOWS EVERYTHING. or has a burning desire to find everything out.
