2010 In The Beginning......
Where did you ring in the New Year? Anisha's house.
Who were you with? Anisha, Danny, Daniella...was that it?
Did you kiss anyone at midnight? I don't think so, lol. I think we made a toast though. Though we were pretty drunk by the time midnight hit, if I recall correctly...
Did you make any resolutions? I might have, I do not remember them though.
If so did you keep them? .../shrugs. Probably not, I never was good at keeping those.
2010 Your Love Life....
Single/Taken? Taken. (/GASP)
How many relationships did you have? One. Still going.
How many break ups? None.
How many people did you kiss? Uh. Four, maybe? Three of those four were drunken make-outs, though lol.
2010 Friends and Enemies......
Did you meet any new friends this year? Yeah. They're fantastic, lol.
Did any of your friendships end? Unfortunately yes.
Did you dislike anyone? Haha, is there a year in my life where I have not disliked anyone?
Did you get into any fights? Plenty.
Did you make any new enemies? Yeah.
Did you resolve any fights? Some, yes, others, no. Some got close, but were never followed through, so I would count that as a no.
Who was your closest friend? Andy, Lotta, Anisha, Danny, Alyssa.
2010....The Holidays!
Did you have a Valentine? Nope.
Did the Easter bunny visit you? Of course! Via a mailing package from mis padres! It was nice, even though I did not get to go home for Easter. I'm pretty sure I spent Easter doing work.
Did watch fireworks on the 4th of July? I'm pretty sure I did.
Did you dress up for Halloween? Well, the day before I did? For a wedding. :) It was awesome. On Halloween I did not; I was driving back to school.
What did you do for Thanksgiving? Had family over my house. I actually did not get into any arguments this year, which made it by far one of the best Thanksgivings I've had recently, but then I had to go into work at ten for the overnight shift on Black Friday. That sucked.
Did you make a list of gifts for the holidays? Nope. I don't want to; my parents have given me so much in terms of my studying abroad next year.
Did you receive what you wanted? Christmas isn't here yet. But I am excited for it.
Were you good this holiday season? I think so, so far. I still need to buy people presents.
2010 Your BIRTHDAY!!!
How old did you turn? 20.
Did you have a cake? Ice cream cake from ice cream cottage! It was chocolate chip. And it was delicious.
What did you do for your birthday? Hung around at home, went out to dinner...and I'm pretty sure I did something else too, but I honestly don't remember what.
Did you have a party? I don't think so. I think it was more just a small get-together, if anything. I'm waiting for my 21st for a big party like that.
Did you get any presents? Yeah! Just some movies and clothes and games and stuff.
2010......The Memories and Accomplishments!
Funniest Memory? ...Man, maybe that first day Andy and I went to King of Prussia together. Though that was funny/awesome/nice/etc. all wrapped up into one.
Saddest Memory? ...My entire spring semester, pretty much. That was awful.
Most Embarassing Memory? I don't remember.
Best Accomplishment? Getting approved for Study Abroad next semester, and then getting approved for the internship over there; completing the LSAT...twice.
2010.....FAVORITES!
Favorite TV shows? Battlestar Galactica, House, Law and Order: SVU, South Park
Favorite songs? ...Idk, man. Mariner's Revenge Song by the Decemberists and Not Afraid by Eminem are the first two that come to mind. Oh, and plenty of Gaga songs, specifically Dance in the Dark and Monster. Oh, and Into Dust, by Mazzy Star
Favorite bands? The Decemberists, some others.
Favorite food? Chicken! :| /always the same.
Favorite stores? Uh. I'm not sure, really. Anything that has what I need at the time.
Favorite restaurants? Applebee's. :| Half-price apps are so wonderful. Also, P.F. Chang's, despite how expensive it is.
Favorite piece of clothing? My camisoles and zip-up hoodies. And jeans. /describes entire outfit.
2010.....All about YOU....
Did you change at all this year? Yes.
Did you dye your hair? No.
Did you get your hair cut? Yeah, and it needs another one.
Did you change your style? No, not really.
Were you in school? Yep!
Did you have a job? Yeah; at home, Skechers, and at school (fall semester), Math Help Room/Personal tutor.
Did you drive? Yeah.
Did you own a car? Yep! Though he had a lot of problems this year /sob.
Did you lose anyone this year? Not in terms of death. Fights, yeah, I would say I lost some people.
Did anyone close to you give birth? No, but my cousin's pregnant now.
Did you move at all? Just back and forth between school and home.
Did you go on any vacations? Yeah! To Florida in the summer with the family!
Did you leave the country at all? Nope. Going to once January hits though!
Would you change anything about yourself now? Probably, though right now I would change the least about myself in comparison to all throughout the year.
2010.....Wrap Up.
Was 2010 a good year? It started awful, the middle was awful, but it's been having a spectacular end so far.
Do you have any regrets? More than I can count, really. Let's just say like...February - April was a big clusterfuck for me that I'd rather forget.
Did 2010 bring any new insights? Yeah. Can I put them into words right here? Probably not, simply because there's so many of them and it'd take a while.
Do you think 2011 will top 2010? I hope so. With study abroad, my 21st birthday, my last semester of college, and being with Andy (which will hopefully last...a very long time), I can't see how it won't.
Do you have any goals for 2011? Get into Law School. Get internships. Get a summer research position. Be happy.
If you could relive any moment which would you choose? Again - when Andy and I went to King of Prussia before we were together. Or our first kiss, but that's really fucking sappy of me. Look at what he's doing to me. :|
If you could forget any moment what would it be? My entire spring semester, especially February - April, especially including in the online world.
Do you wish 2010 wouldn't end? No, I'm more than happy to wave by 2010 and see 2011 come in.
Do you plan to do anything special for NYE 2010? Just going to hang out with Anisha and Danny and possibly others and get drunk!
