I avoided this meme before New Year's. And, now that it's pointless, I think I'm going to do it.
Was 2005 a good year for you?
Yes, very much so!
What was your favorite moment of the year?
I believe it was during show week of Kennedy's Children. We were running Act II and during Rona's last monologue I started to feel tears welling up in my eyes. By the end of the run, I was just bawling--completely bawling! I was so overwhelmed with joy because, for the first time, I saw characters before me instead of actors. I was so proud of my cast. :)
What was your least favorite moment of the year?
I don't really keep track of "least favorite moments". Why should I take up space in my memory with bad things when there are so many good things to remember?
Where were you when 2005 began?
In my living room, watching the ball drop...widescreen style.
Who were you with?
I know Amanda and Matt were there...but I don't remember who else!! Aren't I terrible?? Wes was there…but I don’t think he was there when the ball dropped. And I know Sara stopped by for a little while after midnight…who else??
Where will you be when 2005 ends?
I was at Rumpy’s house. Oh, what a night…
Who will you be with when 2005 ends?
I was with Rumpy, Sharon, Angie, Matt, and Jon.
Did you keep your new year's resolution of 2005?
To be honest, I don’t remember what it was. It was probably something simple like “be happy”. If that is the case, YES, I kept it.

Nope.
How many different states did you travel to in 2005?
Does driving through New Jersey to get to New York count?
Did you lose anyone close to you in 2005?
Thankfully no.
Did you miss anybody in the past year?
I was going to list individual people, but basically when I’m in Geneseo I miss my NH friends and when I’m in NH I miss my Geneseo friends. I think that just about sums it up.

Cold Mountain. I know it’s 2003, but I didn’t see it till 2005. And it’s now my favorite movie.
What was your favorite song from 2005?
You mean it has to have been released in 2005? Hmmm…I guess that would have to be “You and Me” by Lifehouse.

I don’t think so. Did I?
What was the worst lie someone told you in 2005?
I usually try to forget that stuff. What happened in the past doesn’t bother me now.
Did you treat somebody badly in 2005?
I certainly hope not!
Did somebody treat you badly in 2005?

How much money did you spend in 2005?
Too much. I wiped out my checking account.

Well, it was at approximately 5:54pm on Friday, December 9th. I’ll let you figure it out from there.
What was your most embarrassing moment of 2005?
I don’t get embarrassed easily. I do too many stupid, clumsy things to let them bother me.
If you could go back in time to any moment of 2005 and change something, what would it be?
I would have called my friends more often, even when I didn’t think I had time. I should always have time for my friends. Oh, and I probably would have withdrawn from Humn while I had the chance. But I passed. So it’s all good.
What are your plans for 2006?
Oh, more of the same. Take too many classes. Get involved in too many shows. Work on too many projects. Make too many plans. ;)

Directed a show!! And lots of other stuff…but directing a show was the most important thing because it made me realize what I want to do with my life.
