1. What did you do in 2013 that you’d never done before?
Got married, probably ruined a few friendships, moved in with my significant other, took the cat to a regular check-up....
2. Did you keep your New Years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year?

3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Alpha, husband's cousin, my cousin...that's about it. Most people I know don't want kids.

Grandfather did. Technically last year, though.
5. What countries did you visit?
None.
6. What would you like to have in 2014 that you lacked in 2013?
More silly get-togethers at our place--like tea parties, pajama movie nights, cartoon pancake parties, that sorta thing. More tea in general. And a house.

October 25, which was our wedding day, and exactly three days after that...which was the day that made me reconsider my mental health from having a social-related accident at work.

Not dieing. Being there for family. Uh...not completely losing my shit.

Several people.
14. Where did most of your money go?
Doctor's bills, rent, utilities, wedding shit, tea.

See friends (outside of a goddamn bar - because I hate bars), write, run, play music, draw, relax.
19. What do you wish you’d done less of?
Be anxious...and less in pain than normal.

Dead Man's Bones, Juke Baritone, Janelle Monae, Postmodern Jukebox...
27. What did you want and get?

GET SOME FUCKING SLEEP. Also...think twice when making your wedding guest list. Like, think a lot. REALLY reconsider it. I also learned that weddings, for the most part, are boring when planning them, because eeeeveryone and their mother says that everything has to be white this, white that, conservative this, respectful that. Thank god we did the exact opposite.
39. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
"I am gonna make it through this year if it kills me."
