friezaessStolen from like 6 people on my f-list. I WANNA BE COOL TOO U GAIS
1. What did you do in 2009 that you'd never done before?
Had my very first car accident. There's nothing more demoralising than the crunching sound of other cars running over fragments of your headlights ;_;
2. Did you keep your new year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
My new year's resolution was to get more of my crap published, and I did. In a community newspaper. As a work experience student. On topics I didn't get a say in. Someday, someone will read the pointless drivel I have to say ;_; No resolutions for nexy year yet aside from, you know, actually showing up to classes.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
I hope not.
4. Did anyone close to you die?
Nope.
5. What countries did you visit?
I visited the US in my mind.
6. What would you like to have in 2010 that you lacked in 2009?
Money and a GPA of 6. Also my own place...
7. What date from 2009 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
That one day in June where I had 4 assignments all due around the same time. It was the first time I'd ever had a stress headache from uni. Try running 3 Adobe programmes on a computer with 512mbs of RAM with a deadline looming :(
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Getting noticed by my professors and having, quote, "the support of the entire Journalism school" behind me in the research I'm doing.
9. What was your biggest failure?
Missing out on a GPA of 6 because I kept ditching the class which they stupidly scheduled for Friday afternoon.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
Stomach pains resulting from anxiety. They got so bad I had to ditch a job :/
11. What was the best thing you bought?
Vampire Requiem <3
12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
Matt, for the whole "accepting me for who I am" thing.
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
Dad. What's that, you'd rather talk about the discounted bread you got in Woolies than give me a hug when I'm crying? Awesome.
14. Where did most of your money go?
Saving for my ill-fated journey to the US.
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
The thought of travelling ;_;
16. What song will always remind you of 2009?
"Jade" by X-Japan... releasing one song per year is lame :/
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
i. happier or sadder?
Happier, I think I'm interacting with people more :3
ii. thinner or fatter?
About the same. But I've got it all figured out- most of my weight resides in my thighs/hips, so if I can just save up for a chainsaw... MOITIE HERE I COME
iii. richer or poorer?
Sort of richer due to the money I've saved, though I'm still stuck living on $200 a fortnight :/

Wandering far and back again
