2007
1. What did you do in 2007 that you'd never done before?
Hmm...Climbed. Made some definite decisions!
2. Did you keep your New Years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
A few; moved back to London, am happy, got out of my overdraft, kept a hold on who I am, enjoyed great friendships, enjoyed the sea, travelled around Britain and decided on a career. I still can't swim though! I know what I hope for from the next year, won't bother with resolutions.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
A new cousin was born in November, Fergus. He's gorgeous.
4. Did anyone close to you die?
No, thankfully.
5. What countries did you visit?
Only Scotland!
6. What would you like to have in 2008 that you lacked in 2007?
A definite career. I'm getting there.
7. What dates from 2007 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
Actually, no dates especially jump out. Definitely some good days, but no particular date.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Recovering who I am, gaining a sense of true purpose and happiness.
9. What was your biggest failure?
Not being honest enough with myself to admit when I wasn't happy.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
Not really.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
Train tickets :*)
12. Whose behaviour merited celebration?
Pretty much every single one of my friends, for their unceasing love and support over the summer. Friends at work, Sara, Liz, Crick, Ellie and Kenny, Daniel, Sef, Sam, Lou etc deserve particular mention for being both encouraging and wise, and kicking me up the arse when needed. Suze for her unwavering support for almost every single damn day since she came back.
13. Whose behaviour made you appalled and depressed?
The answer to this question is too obvious to mention.
14. Where did most of your money go?
First half of the year - non-fun stuff, for the most part. Second half - good things, like train tickets and drinks with friends.
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
Standing by the sea :*P Trips to Brighton.
16. What song will always remind you of 2007?
A very random mix of stuff. To name a few:
Eve6 - here's to the night
Incubus - love hurts
Ani Difranco - shameless
aim - cold water music
Groove Armada - song 4 mutya
The Dresden Dolls - delilah
V.A.S.T - touched
Plenty of tracks by Dave Matthews Band and Shpongle, as well as unfortunately loads of rubbish indie crap I inevitably heard on the radio!
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
More fat or thin: thinner, I think, or about the same
More rich or poor: a lot more financially stable, thank goodness
More happy or sad: much happier
18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
Learning to do all those damn things I keep meaning to!
19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Procrastinating. :*D I'd say wasting time on things that aren't worth it, but then I believe you live and learn, so ultimately nearly everything is worth it.
20. How will you be spending NYE?
In Cornwall with Sam is all I know.
22. Did you fall in love in 2007?
With life again!
23. How many one-night stands?
One. Meh.
24. What was your favourite TV programme?
Nothing particularly.
25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
No, it's too easy to hold grudges. I have the people I want in my life. That's good enough.
26. What was the best book you read?
Ooh far too difficult to answer!
27. What was your greatest musical discovery?
Ani DiFranco, various random electronic/dance things.
28. What did you want and get?
Trips to Cornwall and briefly Scotland, good times with various friends, one particular bloke.
29. What did you want and not get?
A bit of respect from people I would have appreciated it from.

I haven't been to the cinema much but Pan's Labyrinth wins best film for me.

Good friends, good music, photographs.

Hmm, not any really anymore. Dominic Monaghan still, if I had to choose.
36. What political issue stirred you the most?
Global warming, without a doubt.
37. Who did you miss?
Most people at certain points.
38. Who was the best new person you met?
My friends at work - but also re-kindling everything with Sam.
39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2007.
Be honest with yourself and trust your instincts on what is right for you. Don't apologise for being the way you are!
