2011 Meme
1. What did you do in 2011 that you'd never done before?
Moved to a different state than my immediate family
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I did not mae any resolutions for this year as I've learned I cannot make any that I can keep.

Partying with my immediate family and some extended family with fireworks.
4. Did anyone close to you die?
No, but have lost touch with a couple.
5. What countries did you visit?
None this year, though it felt it, moving from wet, cool Oregon to dry, hot Texas.
6. What would you like to have in 2012 that you lacked in 2011?
Motivation and positives results from my decisions.
7. What date from 2011 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
Septermber 14th, the day I started writing my book
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Finishing my first full length novel. It still has editing to do before I can get it published, but it's almost there.
9. What was your biggest failure?
Altering my life in the most dramatic way I ever have done and then ending up, more or less, in the exact same state I started in.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
I seriously contemplated suicide, which did serious damage to my self esteem. Thankfully, I never carried it out. Unfortunately I avoided it by making the aforementioned major change which didn't pan out.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
My bed, which was a splurge to make my uncomfortable living situation more bearable. It certainly helped.
12. Where did most of your money go?
Rent, mostly.
13. What song will always remind you of 2011?
Love Me Dead - Ludo

Equal parts insanity, passion, heartbreak, being exploited, and determination
14. What do you wish you'd done more of?
Critical thinking and listening to what I really wanted
15. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Doing things for the good of others that harmed me
16. What was your favorite TV program?
Chopped, for lack of anything else that caught my attention
17. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
I refuse to hate any person. I loathe their actions sometimes, but those can be forgiven. There are those that I once trusted, which I no longer trust, but that's not hate.
18. What was the best book you read?
I'd say 'my book', but that's too selfish. I greatly enjoyed Pillars of the Earth, and since it, and its sequel, are the only new books I've read this year, I'll go with that.
19. What was your greatest musical discovery?
"The Humbling River" - Puscifer
20. What was your favorite film of this year?
Puss in Boots as great, as was Rise of the Planet of the Apes. However, Lion King was released in 3D (Which I felt was done quite well as it was quite subtle), so that wins by default
21. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
Turned 31, had dinner with my parents, who were visiting Texas at the time.
22. What kept you sane?
Writing my book
23. Who did you miss?
I miss Carl Sagan, Mark Twain, Martin Luther King and other people who spoke their mind publicly on subjects that most people disagreed with for flawed reasons.
24. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2011:
That faith in myself is more important than anything.

That's quite the music video. I like it. =^.^=
Didn't get to see Lion King in 3D, but going to see Puss in Boots tonight. =^.^= Also, I gotta find some time for some reading... *nods* I also really like your answer to 17.
