| Dec. 27th, 2005 @ 04:38 pm Stolen from Ivymere: In the YEAR 2005! |
|---|
Current Mood:  Amorous
1. What did you do in 2005 that you'd never done before?
Exchanged phone numbers and email with a lot of my classmates at the end of the semester. Normally I just say goodbye and never hear from them again. Joined a karate class and I love it! Joined a badminton class, and I enjoyed it till nsear the end when it got tedious.
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
Yes. I lost more weight. I will make more, including the same one: lose weight.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
No
4. Did anyone close to you die?
No.
5. What countries did you visit?
None
6. What would you like to have in 2006 that you lacked in 2005?
Romance. Love. Someone to hug and kiss and lavish with my affection. To be published in some form, most likely a short story.
7. What date from 2005 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
That would have to be the day I sat down with Jennifer at Zippy's after she came back from France. We just talked and discussed life and what we wanted out of it. She was fiery and happy from being somewhere she loved. I will always remember that day. I always like to see my friends happy and seeing her that day was amazing. Before that I had never really seen her genuinely happy. It was great to just sit down one on one and talk. We haven't done it since then, minus a few conversations after badminton class. I am horrible with dates. It was some time in the summer.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Making so many friends in school and out. They are all amazing people and I have no idea why they want to be my friends.
9. What was your biggest failure?
Letting fear hold me back. Holding me back from asking a simple question. Holding me back from sharing my feelings. Holding me back from telling someone I care about them.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
No.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
Each and every ticket to the UH football games. I just love the excitement and the cheering and the cameraderie. It really is an experience.
12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
None.
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
Many people appalled me this year. I have found that many people I know can be very selfish. They don't do it out of spite, but they do it because they care about themselves more than they do others. I won't go into names, because I am not sure who reads this, but I noticed many friends fighting over petty things that only took them further apart. One friend: complaining that she did not get to hang out with another friend which pushed them further apart. Self-defeating! Hello!
Another friend I was appalled at I haven't talked to in months. She was so selfish that she ditched me and then tried to be my friend again. I let her back in, but we haven't really connected again.
Depressed: One friend in particular. It seems we have grown apart and it is my fault. Three incidents, one I said something stupid and the others I did something stupid. Each incident she ignored me for an extended period of time. (Women like to ignore when they are mad...)And each incident I felt further away from her. We talked less about important things. We talked less of how we felt. We talked less of what was important to us. Except for the occasional conversation that has substance, it has devolved into small talk. I miss her. I feel like I have known her for a lifetime, but something has been inserted inbetween our friendship. It might just all be in my head, but every incident caused me to be depressed. I like her a lot and don't want to lose her. We are fine now, but looking back I regret a lot to do with our friendship.
14. Where did most of your money go?
I don't know. Rent. Repairs for motorcycle. Going out with friends. Drinking. :(
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
Mahjong! Karaoke! Game nights! Going to UH! Karate! Cannot forget KARATE!!! Being close to a certain girl and thinking of all the possibilities. (not any more, really...)Mostly being around my friends!
16. What song will always remind you of 2005?
"1000 kisses" from the Rent soundtrack. Want to be my tenant? :-p
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
I. Happier: No. Ignorance is bliss. I didn't have something in front of me that I could not have.
II. Thinner or fatter? Thinner
III. Richer or poorer? Richer. (Working over the summer really got me ahead)
18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
More time with the friends that are good for me. Less time with drinking friends.
19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Less time being depressed thiking of love that I don't have instead of trying to find it.
20. How will you be spending Christmas?
With Family and friends.
21. Did you fall in love in 2005?
Yes, but the feeling is not mutual.
23. How many one-night stands?
I would never do that.
24. What was your favorite TV program?
Arrested Development
25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
No. I generally don't hate people. I sometimes am annoyed or dislike a person, but it takes a lot to make me hate you.
26. What was the best book you read?
Chuck Palahniuk's "Fight Club"
27. What was your greatest musical discovery?
That I enjoy musicals. That I can improvise rather well on guitar.
28. What did you want and get?
Friends
29. What did you want and not get?
Love from her.
30. What was your favorite film of this year?
One... Rent was the best I remember...
31. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
23 - Dinner with family. Got gift for the first time from a new friend and felt really good.
32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
Romance. Isn't that the theme here?? DUH! Lonely!
33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2005?
I started caring because I finally made some friends that were girls and they showed me how to dress nice.
34. What kept you sane?
The beautiful girls in my life just being there for me as friends.
35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
I don't really idolize celebrities or public figures. I guess Chuck Palahniuk because I like his books so much.
36. What political issue stirred you the most?
None really... Maybe the whole Terry Schiavo thing? I don't care really. These things have nothing to do with me.
37. Who did you miss?
My friend.
38. Who was the best new person you met?
Mr. C. Jaye Sharkey!
39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2005:
That if I wait and hope to tell a girl later on in our friendship that I like her it will never work. Either I will never tell her, as is the case now, or she will respond badly, as was the case this summer. From now on I am going to try to be straightforward. I don't think I will the friend I have feelings for now, but in the future, if I make a new friend and I like her, I will tell her before we become set in the "just friends" category.
40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.
"My whole life is waiting for something to happen"
Damn. I never realize how much I think about romance and finding love until I fill out one of these. Most of that stuff had not even been on my mind for weeks if not months. But, it was supposed to be a review of the year, I guess. |
