2003 in review
Saw Turner fill one of these out.
1. What did you do in 2003 that you'd never done before?
Died and came back to life. Oh, that's right. Did that before. *chuckle*
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
Oh, please.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Not that I'm aware of.
4. Did anyone close to you die?
Do I count? Well, aside from myself, there was Mol and An, both of which were right pissers, even if I learned about demon girl after the fact.
5. What countries did you visit?
Never even left the state.
6. What would you like to have in 2004 that you lacked in 2003?
Bit more purpose, really. Feel like I've been twisting in the wind a trifle since my death, recently corporeality or not.
7. What date from 2003 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
20th of May springs to mind.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Closing the hellmouth.
9. What was your biggest failure?
Certain things I wish I'd made a better go of.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
See above re: death. *grumble*
11. What was the best thing you bought?
Money's been a bit scarce as of late, but think I did recent gift bestowment rather well.
12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
Probably not mine.
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
*grr*
14. Where did most of your money go?
Burnt to a crisp in my pocket as I was turned to a pile of ashes.
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
The little magic box of solidity what got sent to me. Quite nice, that.
16. What song will always remind you of 2003?
"It's the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)," REM
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
i. happier or sadder? Somewhere in the middle
ii. thinner or fatter? When I lacked a body, s'pose I weighed less. *chuckle* Otherwise, pretty much the same, I suppose.
iii. richer or poorer? Don't even have a basement to shack up in, so I'd say poorer.
18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
Let's just say the one-off with Harm was the first bit of somethin' of that nature I've had in a goodly long while.
19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Been stark raving mad.
20. How will you be spending Christmas?
Spent it wandering the halls of this bloody law firm.
21. Who did you spend the most time on the phone with?
Don't think I've picked one up lately, unless you count the cell in the poofter's car.
22. Did you fall in love in 2003?
Certainly was in love when the year started out. I'd wager I still am, and will... er... Right. Don't feel much like talkin' about that.
23. How many one-night stands?
I'd say that counted more as a "nooner," really.
24. What was your favorite TV program?
Passions. (Turner, got to get me caught up with what I missed over the summer.)
25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
Not exactly. Still have an uneasy alliance with most folks I know. Still hate Angel. *shrug*
26. What was the best book you read?
Been slogging through some George Sand as of late completely randomly.
27. What was your greatest musical discovery?
Early on in the year, I started to grow rather fond of Modest Mouse.
28. What did you want and get?
To no longer be able to walk through walls.
29. What did you want and not get?
Jury's still out on that matter.
30. What was your favorite film of this year?
Lost in Translation
31. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
Actually forgot my birthday, but I turned 150 and got a bit of somethin' from Harm.
32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
Blah blah, true love, savin' the world a few more times, a decent pint more often, staking Angel.
33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2003?
My "personal fashion concept in 2003" is the same as my "personal fashion concept in 1980," thanks.
34. What kept you sane?
Not much at times, really.
35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
Sod that. Bunch of tossers, most of 'em here as of late.
36. What political issue stirred you the most?
You know you're living in a universe gone wrong with the bloody Terminator bloke takes a seat of power.
37. Who did you miss?
...
38. Who was the best new person you met?
Hands down, the infinitely talented Miss Burkle. Often think she's likely talented at rather a lot of things that I can only imagine. *grin*
39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2003:
When pinned beneath a giant ray of sunshine about to peel the flesh from your bones and a beautiful girl's tellin' you she loves you and wants you to get the hell out of there...
You get the hell out.
40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
The riders leaned on by him he heard one call his name
If you want to save your soul from hell a'riding on our range
Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride
Trying to catch this devil herd across these endless skies
