That time of year...
1. What did you do in 2005 that you'd never done before?
Moved Interstate.
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I think one of my resolutions was to move, this years will be to enjoy the move. Also to eat less takeaway. Maybe even get healthy - the other week I purchased my first salad ever! I was so proud of myself until I went to eat it and it was just shitty lettuce covered with like 1 other veggie. Stupid healthy shit. I was so hungry I then overate at dinner, drank too much alcohol and almost threw up. Maybe ill just keep eating potato pie.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Loads of my cousins popped out babies, making my christmas present load even more expensive, therefore I didn’t buy any
4. Did anyone close to you die?
No. While in Richmond, I hoped that some people would though.
5. What would you like to have in 2006 that you lacked in 2005?
Friends? A decent house? And some more money.
6. What dates from 2005 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
Jeanies drain story & toilet overflow. Funniest ever.
7. What was the best thing you bought?
Give me time, I still have a couple of days of the Sales left.

- iii. richer or poorer? Hmm, maybe richer
13. What do you wish you'd done more of?
I wish I had gone to a lot of concerts that I missed out on because I was broke/ or had no-one to go with. NIN, the Hives, The Carpark Festival, etc… Oh and maybe I should have tried to make more friends.
14. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Whingeing. Hiding in my room. Making other people depressed.
15. Biggest disappointment?

Me? Never.

Spewed on a couple of peoples sidewalks.
41. How is 2006 Looking?
Pretty sweet. Lots of good bands (maaaars volta!), new fantastic house, a visit back to perth & maybe I can start saving for travel. Or maybe I should study something part time. Oh the possibilities!
I went camping after Christmas. Let me just say I have decided me + outdoors do not go well together. I am glad of that, because there are LEECHES in the outdoors. LEEEECHES!!
Moved Interstate.
