General
Like most people I decided heck, why not haha. :3
1. What did you do in 2011 that you'd never done before?
I started paying rent and am on a lease for a house, I have a non-under the table job, had roommates (and kicked them out lol), I learned how to drive and got my licence...Basically this year was a lot of getting some actual adult responsibilities haha. Wooo bills~ @_@ I'm sure there's other things as well, but I can't think of anything more significant than those things atm.
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I didn't keep all of them, but I did keep one of my main ones! I wanted to have better cleaning habits, and I succeeded. My house very rarely gets out of hand anymore, especially now that both of my brothers are moved out and I no longer have additional roommates.
3. How will you be spending New Year's Eve?
Well, its already past at the time of writing this haha. It was a pretty mellow one for me, we didn't really have money for booze, so I had all of my rl friends over and we had root beer floats at midnight and just lazed around.
4. Did anyone close to you die?
No, thankfully. I did lose some pets, but its kinda to be expected when you own rats. ;A;
5. What countries did you visit?
None, I've never been out of country. :(
6. What would you like to have in 2012 that you lacked in 2011?
As Tina said, a little less anxiety would be freaking greeeeeat. I'm also gonna work on being a better student this year. I've really disappointed myself these past 2 semesters and its left me overwhelmingly ashamed of myself.
7. What date from 2011 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
Uhm...I'm not really sure? Eric and I did have our 4 year anniversary on October 21st, so I think that's all that really stands out date-wise.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Probably the whole being more independent/handling more responsibilities with the job, driving etc.
9. What was your biggest failure?
Grades, and not making as much progress as I should have with my weight this year. :/
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
There were some injuries (like twisting my ankle really bad from falling in a gutter downtown), and I got sick once a couple months ago. The only major thing is that I found out finally this year that I do in fact have a GAD (general anxiety disorder). Its relieving to finally have a name to put on it and explain why I've felt the way I have since childhood, but at the same time its hard to not get those "You're broken" or "You're not normal" feelings from time to time.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
Oh wow, I'm not sure! I think my copic set was bought this year, and as much as I love them I have yet to really play with them. I'm intimidated by them being so nice! XD
12. Where did most of your money go?
Rent/bills, pets, gas, and household stuff. :/ I basically live paycheck to paycheck lol, and I didn't get school grants this year.
13. What song will always remind you of 2011?
Humm..I'm not really sure.
14. What do you wish you'd done more of?
I wish I did more reading and drawing. Just general hobby doing in general.
15. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Letting stress get the better of me/slacking off because of it. :/
16. What was your favorite TV program?
Adventure Time, Mahou Shojo Madoka Magica, My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, and Battlestar Galactica *_*
17. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
I don't think so. Its really rare I "hate" anyone, and pretty much those who ever did reach that point can't rile me up so much anymore. Just general distaste and wanting nothing to do with them still. I don't keep toxic people in my life for a reason.
18. What was the best book you read?
I...pretty much read no books this year as awful as that sounds. I used to read -all the time-, and this really saddens me.
19. What was your greatest musical discovery?
Not sure! Mostly just delving deeper into genres I already listened to.
20. What was your favorite film of this year?
Hm. I don't watch too many movies (I don't have TV so I rarely know what's coming out, and don't have money for movies haha). Rio was good, and I don't remember if I saw The Fantastic Mr. Fox this year or last. If it was this year, that's another fav!
21. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
I turned 19 this year, and we had a nice sushi dinner with some friends. :3
22. What kept you sane?
My friends (pretty typical lol), and my brother Rusty helped me a lot this year too.
23. Who did you miss?
I missed my mom a lot this year.
24. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2011:
I'm also not sure on this front. I guess probably the only thing I've really been feeling lately is that growing up is overrated.
