Good riddance 2009
01. What did you do in 2009 that you'd never done before?
Went all the way to London ALL ON MY OWN. Which might not sound like a lot to you, but for me it was a huge step to independence.
02. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
Yes, I would say I did pretty well with my resolutions. I procrastinated less and got a hell of a lot done in the process, and I learnt to manage my money a whole lot better. And no I won't bother making resolutions again next year. I only forget them by February.
03. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Nope.
04. Did anyone close to you die?
No thankfully.
05. What countries did you visit?
England. Not even the UK, just England.
06. What would you like to have in 2010 that you lacked in 2009?
Success. With a number of different things.
07. What date from 2009 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
June 22nd. Seriously, that trip to London helped me so much and made me realise so many things, and I had a bloody good time thrown into the bargain.
08. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Just all the lessons I learnt. 2009 was seriously the year of learning and discovery for me.
09. What was your biggest failure?
Still being in the same place as I was last year (ie still working a dead end job I don't like and still living with my parents. And still being single). But I'm ok with that, because unlike this time ast year, I have plans.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
Yep, both in the same week. I broke my first bone (my foot) and was hospitalised for the first time in my life (which I'm still suffering from, though its getting better and healing)
11. What was the best thing you bought?
My London trip.
12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
I don't know. I'll say my friends at Pleasure Island, they helped me realise alot of things.
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
Friends that aret no longer my friends.
14. Where did most of your money go?
On my car -_-
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
London. It's really the ony interesting thing that happened to me all year.
16. What song will always remind you of 2009?
Uprising by Muse <333
17. Compared to this time last year, you are:
Older
18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
Drawing. Though I'm back on track. But enough drawing can never be done.
19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Crying. No one likes crying.
20. How will you be spending/did you spend Christmas?
With my parents. I'm determined to enjoy it as it could (hopefully) be my last Christmas whilst I'm actually living at home annd getting to help plan it all with my mum.
21. How will you be spending New Year's Eve?
At the hospital. And nothing in the night, I can't be bothered.
22. Did you fall in love in 2009?
Nope.

None, not my style.
24. What was your favorite TV program?
No new ones. Friends is always my favourite.
25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
Hate is probably a bit strong, but I felt badly hurt by people that I trusted with my whole heart and that I don't forgive. Dislike would be more appropriate.
26. What was the best book you read?
Les Miserables by Victor Hugo. I only wish I'd not been such a silly billy and read it sooner.
27. What was your greatest musical discovery?
Probably just Paloma Faith. I mostly just listen to the same old music I've always listened to.

To go to London. And some pretty additions to my wardrobe.
29. What did you want and not get?
A lot.
30. What was your favorite film of this year?
Hmm, its differcult. I certainly can't remember all the new films I saw this year, and there was nothing remarkable that stands out most in my memory. And some films I wanted to see I never got round to. I liked The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, The Hannah Montana Movie (don't laugh, I liked it!), and Angels and Demons. Oh an Up of course!
31. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
I turned 21 and just went out for a really nice meal with my folks.
32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
If I had succeeded with something.
33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2009?
I have no idea. I don't even have a style I just wear things I like.
34. What kept you sane?
Music and my art, especially the two together.
35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
Still Robert Downey Jr.
35. What was your favorite video game of the year?
Worms for my Nintendo DS. It's an old game, but it was new for me this year
36. Who has made the most cameos in your dreams this year?
I actually very rarely remember my dreams, so I've no idea.
37. Who did you miss?
Sarah. But she chose to take sides.
38. Who was the best new person you met?
All my friends from Pleasure Island as they taught me alot about myself (often without realising it).
39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2009:
That Dory's right: You gotta just keep swimming and it'll all turn out and fall into place eventually.
40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile even though its breaking
When there are clouds in the sky,
You'll get by
If you smile,
Through your fear and sorrow
Smile, and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through
For you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear
May be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile.
