1) Was 2006 a good year for you?
Yes and no. It started off really badly, but I think I grew a lot in the past year. Or something. I proved to myself I could do and endure a lot of shit.
2) What was your favorite moment of the year?
Various parties - Carey's parties are always good, and so was the milk crate party (Katy showed me her bruised pubic mound. Yes.). I guess any time spent with my friends and/or boyfriend is good, especially when you feel rather alone in a new city.
3) What was your least favourite moment of the year?
Fights with Mitch over things I don't want to talk about ever again, feeling super overwhelmed at the beginning of University, missing family/friendly, being diagnosed with an anxiety disorder...I thought my ailment would be a lot more chic, but at least I get valium.
4) Where were you when 2006 began?
The Falls Festival - Lorne, Victoria. With Katrina and Binny and Jacquie watching The Dandy Warhols. It was awesome.
5) Who were you with?
Katrina, Binny, Jacquie and a random boy who hugged me.
6) Where will you be when 2006 ends?
I have no idea - need to work that out this weekend.
7) Who will you be with when 2006 ends?
Hopefully my besties and boyfriend. I just want to be with people I love. No, I need to be with them.
8) Did you keep your new years resolution of 2006?
Yeah, I ate better and exercised more this year. Lost some weight and stuff.
9) Do you have a new years resolution for 2007?
Not yet - swearing more would a good start.
10) Did you fall in love in 2006?
Yes. I was in love with him in 2005, too. Sometimes it takes some really shitty moments to discover how much you really do love someone.

Mitch :D.
12) If yes, do they know?
I hope so!

Probably more than this, but one that sticks out is throwing up outside McDonald's in George St. at 11am on Saturday morning. This was after Legs 11, in which I got the most intoxicated I have ever been after being given wine by many strangers. This also included slamming my head in a taxi door when evacuating to vomit, and yelling at inappropriate moments and giving people the shits. I'm sorry D:

Nothing comes to mind, I don't think.

Yes.

Any I earned, really. I didn't save much this year...but I'm a student, so I don't have a lot of spare money anyway!
37) What was your proudest moment of 2006?
COnquering my first year of Uni rather successfully indeed. Living away from home and learning a lot of independence. Hurrah!
