(no subject)
I got this survey from KT and a couple other people. Seemed a good way to generally sum up the year, though I'll probably do a top shows/CDs/etc. list at some point as well.
1. What did you do in 2003 that you'd never done before? Moved into my first apartment. Started dating a fucking awesome guy. Took a random roadtrip. Enjoyed my summer job. Lots of things.
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year? I didn't make any last year. This year, I have one and only resolution: gnomes around the world!!!!
3. Did anyone close to you give birth? not that I can remember
4. Did anyone close to you die? no, thankfully
5. What countries did you visit? sadly, only this one
6. What would you like to have in 2004 that you lacked in 2003? direction. motivation. a diploma.
7. What date from 2003 will remain etched upon your memory, and why? I tried hard to think of one, but none really stood out in my mind.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year? starting to open up to people again
9. What was your biggest failure? my high achievements in procrastination
10. Did you suffer illness or injury? I spent a majority of the fall semester suffering from sicknesses brought on by little kid germs. Yuck.
11. What was the best thing you bought? a ticket to see Superdrag in Nashville
12. Whose behavior merited celebration? various people who have helped out lately
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed? America's. not everything, of course, but a good bit of it.
14. Where did most of your money go? rent, food, textbooks, and frivolous stuff that I could really have done without
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about? finding somebody that I like and having it reciprocated
16. What song will always remind you of 2003? "Ms. Moriarty" by the Webb Brothers
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
i. happier or sadder? both
