2007 in Review

I stole this from Chris which he got from hs December 2003 archives. Wow, he's old. ^_^ Anyway, I know we're well into 2008 (almost the middle of February already!!) but I decided to do this anyway, since I never wrote anything for the end/beginning of a year, like I usually do.

The Year 2007 in Review-
1. What did you do in 2007 that you'd never done before?
Um...Well I dated a guy and then broke up with a guy. Yeah.

2. Did you keep your new years' resolution?
Don't think I made one. If I did make one, I probably did not keep it.

3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Trying to think...Can't think of anyone!

4. Did anyone close to you die?
No.

5. What countries did you visit?
Just here!

6. What would you like to have in 2008 that you lacked in 2007?
Money. Lots.

7. What date from 2007 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
There's a couple. Dawn's wedding probably being the biggest!

8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Getting my 2-year degree I think!

9. What was your biggest failure?
Um, there's a couple things I consider failures on my part. Mostly personal things - not so much things I actually did, but things I thought or felt.

10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
Nothing major!

11. What was the best thing you bought?
Um...Laptop!!

12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
I don't think anyone in particular merited celebration over anyone else

13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
Bleh. I won't go there.

14. Where did most of your money go?
School, car

15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
Buying my laptop, going to Wisconsin, graduating, getting into VCU

16. What song will always remind you of 2007?
Meh, I dunno!

17. Compared to this time last year, are you:

i. happier or sadder?
I don't know if I'm necessarily happier, but I am not sadder, and I am happy in a different way

ii. thinner or fatter?
Fatter. Even my grandma noticed. And no, she didn't say "you look fat." I was talking about how I had gained some inches and she said, "Yeah, but last year you were too skinny!" which is an exaggeration, but whatever.

iii. richer or poorer?
Poorer. And getting even poorer.

18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
Writing. Standing up for what I believe.

19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Procrastinating. I need to stop that.

20. How will you be spending Christmas?
I spent it at home - it was a nice quiet day.

22. Did you fall in love in 2007?
Nope.

23. How many one-night stands?
Zero!

24. What was your favorite TV program?
Smallville for part of the year. Chuck when it started.

25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
I don't hate people.

26. What was the best book you read?
This Present Darkness and Garth Nix books, and HP7

27. What was your greatest musical discovery?
I'm not as dumb as I thought I was? Hehe...

28. What did you want and get?
Laptop, trip to WI, trip to PA

29. What did you want and not get?
More money. Trip to FL, but that's this year.

30. What was your favorite film of this year?
Um, what came out last year?? I really don't remember.

31. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
I was 20 (wow, so young!). I went out with Will and then had dinner and presents at home.

33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2007?
Comfy.

34. What kept you sane?
Who says I'm sane?

35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
Who else? Orlando Bloom. But that faded quickly toward the end of the year. I think I'm old now. <.< >.>

Probably illegal immigration. I think that's the one that gets my goat the worst.

37. Who did you miss?
Everyone, as usual.

38. Who was the best new person you met?
I didn't really meet that many new people. I got to know some people better and that's always nice.

39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2007.
Live life to the fullest day by day, doing God's will. Don't let worldly stuff get you down - in the end, it doesn't matter anyway. God's in control of everything and He has a purpose; I can rest in that and leave it in His hands. I just fudge stuff up when I try to take control anyway.

40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.
Wow....No clue.
