2. Did you keep your new years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year? Yeah, I don't do New Year's resolutions. I never follow them, so really, what's the point?

5. What countries did you visit? Is Virginia another country? Because sometimes, when I go down south, I feel like I need a passport and an interpreter.

7. What dates from 2005 will remain etched upon your memory, and why? The day Richard burned his hand, Tuesdays, when Eri and I had our ritual watchings of GG/VM and GG/SN. JonJon's wedding day, and I'm positive I'm missing things, but I'll stop there.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year? Stepping out on my own, and going after what I want and actually sticking with it, not caving under pressure to do what is expected of me, Getting promoted.

11. What was the best thing you bought? The gift of my education? It was definately the most expensive!
12. Whose behavior merited celebration? Nicole, who is standing up for herself, My Ickle Gals, who are always there when I need a shoulder, Nor, who is always willing to listen to me whine, Richard and Peej, who are always willing to chase off Dr. Kay, Matty, who I'd not be me without, and Rinna, who is always there when I need a friend to kick me in the ass and also, to pick me up off the floor afterward.
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed? Matty, who was a jackass, Me, who as always, is willing to be a vindictive bitch, Shaneyney, whose name has been changed for humor and for likeness, and some of my customers, for being the most scumsucking weasels on the planet.
14. Where did most of your money go? School. Why does Pennsylvania have to put the lottery money towards keeping senior citizens warm? Why can't they send us poor kids to school like Georgia?

20. How will you be spending Christmas? I spent Christmas at home, watching Christmas Story about six times while in my pajamas.
21. Did you fall in love in 2005? I'm really and truly not sure. I know I'm not in love now, if that answers the question even a little.
22. How many one-night stands? Good little Catholic girls don't have one night stands. At least, not when they live at home with a father who owns a shop full of power tools and a brother who is one of the best ranked shots in the state.
23. What was your favorite TV program? GG, SN, VM, any of the L&Os...
24. Do you hate anyone now that you didn’t hate this time last year? I'm pretty sure I don't hate anyone. I have extreme dislike, and borderline hatred, but no one actually falls into the category of me hating them, which is fortunate, I don't want to have to kill anyone.
25. What was the best book you read? Wait, they let you read non academic books? HP6, all the way. Can't wait for the next one! Even though it'll be the last, and I don't know if Neville will make it til the end...
26. What was your greatest musical discovery? Jack Johnson and Butch Walker
27. What did you want and get? a promotion and some job security, more confidence, and some great new buds!

29. What was your favorite film of this year? Hmmm, I'm not sure, there were a lot. Batman Begins, RedEye, The Family Stone, Walk the Line, Pride and Prejudice. Please, don't make me choose one, more are already popping up in my head!
30. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you? I celebrated my 21st birthday with my family and loads of well wishes from friends.
31. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying? A love life?
32. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2005? Clean and Classic, not too trendy.
33. What kept you sane? The Ickle Gals, for sure.
34. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most? Hmmmmmm, now that's a tough one. I know it'll be a shock, but I'll have to go with Tanc Sade.
35. What political issue stirred you the most? Not so much a political issue, but people who don't vote, don't take any active part in the political system who insist upon bitching about the way things are. That, and people who have absolutely no knowledge about politics, and are just repeating what Cher, Susan Sarandon and Al Sharpton are saying, without any substance to their statments.
36. Who did you miss? My Grandpa.
37. Who was the best new person you met? Jackie, all the way.
38. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2005: That you truly can't control everything, no matter how much time and effort you put into keeping everything under wraps.
39. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
There's a place I dream about
Where the sun never goes out.
And the sky is deep and blue.
Won't you take me there with you.
Ohhh, we can begin again.
Shed our skin, let the sun shine in.
At the edge of the ocean
We can start over again
Edge of the Ocean, Ivy
