30. What would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
to have made up my mind about school earlier. to not hold myself back. to have not settled. to have pushed myself. to have not given up for awhile. i wish i hadnt given up on myself and everything else, including happiness. but oh well, it all turned out okay in the end.

2007.
1. What did you do in 2007 that you'd never done before?
Seriously was on my own. Moved away from home where I knew no one. Went to college... Twice. Went to rehab. Legally drank for the first time! Went to Vegas. Went to my first music festival. Tripped. Dated a lot of people. Haha. Interesting year!
2. Did you keep your New Years resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I obviously don't make them. And I wouldn't so much call it a resolution. I just need to get back on my diet/work out that I was kicking ass in before the holidays came and I got lazy!
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
No, but people got engaged and married and it was real cute.
4. Did anyone close to you die?
My Stepbrother.
5. What countries did you visit?
None, but I was still all over the place. I put 20,000 miles on a car in a year!
6. What would you like to have in 2008 that you lacked in 2007?
You know, I am pretty content with my life at this point. I would like more money though, and to be able to move out and have my own place. I would like to pay off my loans and be able to afford college again that isn't some half-ass art school that's too expensive and bores me. I would like to move forward with my current plan instead of just calling it as it goes as I've been doing for what seems like forever. I would like to get through the whole year without one bad thing happening and no break downs or losses. I would like to float as calm as I am now. I would like to keep making the right decisions and keep winning this race.
7. What date from 2007 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
The day I moved away from home to Fort Lauderdale and bawled as I left the city for what I thought was going to be a very long time.
All of that first quarter and all the lovely craziness of it. All those drunk nights on the beach.
The entire month of October was the best month of my life just about.
Echo project was completely life changing. Las Vegas for my 21st birthday. All the craziness when I got back in Atlanta and was finally 21! The whole summer with the boys and new friends. I'll never forget it, ever. It really changed me.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Finally being happy with myself. I know it doesn't seem like much. But specially if you read the past 4 years of my life, it was the biggest achievement I've ever made. And it lead to so many others.
9. What was your biggest failure?
Oh that little mental breakdown in March down at school finals week where I fucked it all up and then just ran back home. I was doing amazing and it all kind of fell apart. I guess I realized changing location doesn't actually break your unhealthy ties. You do. and where you live has nothing to do with it. But hey, least I learned from it. I've grown leaps and bounds this year.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
Again, breakdown. That's about it. And sinus infections and minuet shit like that.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
Concert tickets for me and my friends. Echo project tickets. Tickets to the Beatles LOVE and the Drag show on my 21st. Things that made memories. And now I have this sweet little flip video camera to catch them all.
12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
Ren has been amazing. Completely fucking amazing. I know I have said this every year about someone. But this girl seriously kept me afloat when everyone else had turned their back. She is always on my side. She is honestly completely nonjudgmental. You can tell her anything and she just listens and laughs and cries with you if you need it. She is always there when I need her. She is funny, smart, multi-dimensional, and beautiful inside and out. I would be completely lost without her. She's my sister from another mister. My partner in crime. My best friend and I love her wholeheartedly.
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
All those people I had praised years before. They disappointed me, themselves, and everyone who knows them. My old friends hurt me more than anyone else, and I still am unsure of the reasons. Oh and Aliey Brady disgusts me more with ever encounter.
14. Where did most of your money go?
torrid. delias. cigarettes. alcohol. shows. gas. food. the usual. again!
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
Moving away. All of October. With good reason! Awesome birthday party, Echo, George Carlin and Vegas!
16. What songs bands will always remind you of 2006?
Brand New's new album was kind of constantly playing everywhere. Imogen Heap. Britney Spears (ahaha Taylor!) Elliott Smith. Radiohead like crazy. The Roots. The song Slow Ride. haha. MIA. Le Castle Vania and everything like it from when I got really into the who New-rave whatever the fuck. Against me! and One Republic. Obsessed with the Beatles LOVE Album. Oh man the list goes on.
17. Compared to this time last year:
i. are you happier or sadder? Much happier.
ii. thinner or fatter? Much thinner.
iii. richer or poorer? Much richer! Go me.
18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
I wish I had stuck with it in school. I wish I had realized I was just at the wrong kind of school earlier.
19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Honestly, nothing. It was kind of a shit year. Yet I did so much; I grew so much. I relaxed so much and learned to let go and grow up. I became a better person. I can't say I would take back anything I've done this year.
20. How did you spend Christmas?
I spent it with Nick and my family as I do every year. I got really sick Christmas eve. Cried for 2 hours over my father Christmas day. It was the first year I had to go to two separate houses for my parents. Which was odd. They've been divorced since I was in 6th grade but had kept it together. Now he's married with his own house and he just didn't make it real easy on us either. It was awkward. But the rest of it at HOME home with my REAL family was relaxed and nice and just very heartwarming.
Oh yeah & after that I crammed into a Lexus with Nick, Kam, Chris, Amanda and Bill. We chugged Christmas 40's in a parking lot and went to see Juno. Which was the best way to end Christmas ever!
21. Did you fall in love in 2006?
Here's the thing. Yes. This year I've dated more people than I previously had in my entire life. It was the true single life for the first time ever. I had actually gotten over the past and started moving on. And I really enjoyed it. And yes, I did fall for some new people. But in the end, nothing ever compared to Nick no matter how bad I wanted it to or how close it got. I really will always love him. But I learned I'm fine standing out there on my own and I am capable of loving someone else in a different way. And I can be happy either way.
22. How many one-night stands?
I havent slept with a complete stranger still to this day, if that's what you're asking. Haha. (Got close in Vegas though and totally chickened out! Thank godddd. So not me.)
23. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
I really don't hate anyone but this one girl. And everyone knows that. But I have good reason. Well, now I have even MORE reason. But. I honestly just wish she would leave me and my loved ones alone. That's all. I just want that shit to be over. I want her to let it go and move on with her life because she's only making it worse for herself. And I need her to just stay out of my life.
24. What was the best book you read?
The Alchemist seriously changed my life. Along with Ms.Hinton. She was completely amazing.
25. What was your greatest musical discovery?
Hahaha. All the hippy music Doug got me into!
And just... The Love album seriously changed my life.
Ask me about the stories some time if you don't know them.
26. What did you want and get?
My flip video camera is the SHITTT.
And I finally got GPS hahaha.
27. What did you want and not get?
A fish eye lens for my digital rebel!
and GUITAR HERO! Argh.
And a bunch of DVDs.
Ain't no thang though.
28. What was your favorite film of this year?
SUPERBAD FOR THE WIN!
29. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
I was 21. So I had a joint birthday party with Amanda and Sammi and Halloween at my house which ended up being really great. The next weekend I went to Echo project with my little brother. We also saw George Carlin.
And the weekend after that was my real birthday weekend so we flew out to Las Vegas which was pretty fun. On the actual day we went to a drag show, got completely smashed, and I won the fake orgasm contest. Oh yeah we took helicopter to the Grand Canyon, too. Yeah it was amazzzzzing.
30. What would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
You know what, nothing. Because all the negative things ended up leading to new places, new people, new friends, new loves, and a new me. I must say I came out on top through all the horrendous shit everyone put me through this year. and I'm glad it's not all still the same. It's funny too, because now everyone wants back in. Life is so strange.
31. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2006?
Well. I started going to school for fashion so i obviously started taking more risk. I started pulling from high fashion and designers. I was obsessed with Fashion History and pulled from that as well. Then there was the whole part where I got big into the underground rising club scene, i guess you could say. So it was like, keeping up with trends, yet finding things that ultimately flattered my body the best. It's changed alot this year because I have. I also liked to wear things that could go from school or work, strait to the dance floor. All winter though I've been living in pairs of tights and leggings, ridiculous hoodies, big sunglasses, long shirts, babydoll dresses, cute boots, and things that sparkleeeee. haha. I lost a bunch of weight and grew out and dyed my hair red and chopped off my bangs for a 60's/high fashion look and hell yeah I don't think I've felt as pretty as I have lately in awhile.
32. What kept you sane?
Phone calls from home. My family. Ren. My summer boys who turned me into a complete flower child and showed me how to relax and be positive. Tara&Nik. Amanda&Kamilla. Music. Cigarettes. Weed. Alcohol and various other vices. Cute boys. DANCING. Shopping. Driving with the windows down singing really loud to and from Florida. Georgia trips when i lived in Florida, and Florida trips when i lived in Georgia. Finally letting go and moving on with my life. Making plans. Having parties. Laughing when I thought I would never laugh again. Pretty much everyone who had my back this year. And even people who didn't but came back.
33. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
Honestly, I got kind of obsessed with hippies... and DJs. WEIRD I KNOW. Sarah Jessica Parker. Tyra Banks. Crystal Ren. Chanel. Dior. Gucci. LACROIX! umh. The Beatles. Just getting into different decades and lifestyles and finding someone worth admiring in each.
34. What political issue stirred you the most?
The war gets more and more pressing for me with every year that goes by and every friend that leaves.
35. Who did you miss?
The slores. My Ft. Laudies. And I missed Jesyka the most.
36. Who was the best new person you met?
Amanda and Kamilla are the best people EVER! Seriously. If I did not have these girls in my life right now I don't know what I would do. They are so much fun and we always have a blast when we're together. They're hilarious. We get each other pretty well. I love them both immensly and I am so thankful they are in my life. They are better than any friends I could of ever asked for.
37. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2007:
"It's not the letting go that hurts, it's the holding on."
