wolfpangsOh, my gosh. I did a meme! It's that 2003 thingy.
1. What did you do in 2003 that you'd never done before? Hmm, mostly travel to places I'd never been before.
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year? Yes, I kept mine (no, I won't tell you what they were) and I'll probably make more.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth? Nope.
4. Did anyone close to you die? No.
5. What countries did you visit? No other countries, just the US--and lots of it!
6. What would you like to have in 2004 that you lacked in 2003? A real job. More faith.
7. What date from 2003 will remain etched upon your memory, and why? Oh, several. April 17: Not telling in a public entry. I wrote a scene about it in a locked entry in September, though. April 19: First time dancing onstage with the band and the night I met the Limey. April 30: I succumb to the Moral Dilemma. Again. October 25: Love! October 26: Peace. November 22: I. Always. Win.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year? Mending a broken heart. Almost finishing school (just one more quarter!). Making the magical happen.
9. What was your biggest failure? Oh, I'm an infidel. But I prefer to think of that as a personality quirk. They'll get over it.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury? Nothing more serious than that monstrous cold MomSweater gave me.
11. What was the best thing you bought? A cellphone, which will be shortly replaced by one that doesn't make me want to throw it. A ticket to the show on April 17.
12. Whose behavior merited celebration? C, for being my best friend. B, for always remembering. R, for making me blush.
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed? They know who they are. I've made peace with them so it's not appropriate to name names.
14. Where did most of your money go? Gas, T-Mobile, clothing. Candy and records.
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about? Going to New York. Going anywhere, as long as I was with my friends.
16. What song will always remind you of 2003? "Little Baby," Howlin' Wolf. "When I Paint My Masterpiece." "Extraordinary," Liz Phair. "Sex is Personal," The Faint. "Do I Look Like a Slut?," Avenue D. "Girls for Single Men," Flying Frog Brigade. "I Just Don't Know What to Do With Myself," White Stripes. "The End Has No End," The Strokes. "Hey Ya," Outkast.
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
a. happier or sadder? - happier
b. thinner or fatter? - thinner, but not by much.
c. richer or poorer? - slightly richer
18. What do you wish you'd done more of? Seeing my brothers. Sleeping.
19. What do you wish you'd done less of? Starving. Worrying. Pining.
20. How will you be spending Christmas? With my family.
21. Who did you spend the most time on the phone with? C.
22. Did you fall in love in 2003? Yeah. Maybe.
23. How many one-night stands? Technically, none.
24. What was your favorite TV program? Joan of Arcadia.
25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year? I don't hate anyone but I strongly dislike Skanky. And the person who's plagiarizing me.
26. What was the best book you read? His Dark Materials.
27. What was your greatest musical discovery? Realizing that I'm pretty much an old man when it comes to music.
28. What did you want and get? Ahaha. Doesn't it go without saying? Oh, and peace.
29. What did you want and not get? World peace. A billion dollars. To go to San Francisco for New Year's.
30. What was your favorite film of this year? I stayed in my own.
31. What did you do on your birthday? I went out to dinner with my sister.
32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying? Taking more pictures.
33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2003? Young English girl stowing away on a pirate ship to India with a fairy in her pocket.
34. What kept you sane? The boys. Music. Love. Couture.
35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most? Jules.
36. What political issue stirred you the most? The Presidential election next year. The war. Roy Moore's rock. The ban on late-term abortion and the rest of the continuing eradication of our rights.
37. Who did you miss? Him. And my friends when I wasn't with them.
38. Who was the best new person you met? C! Also the Limey, N, and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
danisse, of course.
39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2003: Believe. Magic happens, even if our culture doesn't value it. Without love in the dream, it'll never come true. The band will always save me from bad relationships. Music will always save me, period. It's impossible to keep it all together, so blow it all apart.
40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
And love won't play any games with you, anymore
If you don't want it to
The world won't wait and I watched you shake
But honey, I don't blame you
Hell, I still love you New York
--Ryan Adams
Got to hurry on back to my hotel room,
Where I've got me a date with Botticelli's niece.
She promised that she'd be right there with me
When I paint my masterpiece.
--Bob Dylan. Like you didn't see that coming.
"The belief is sometimes the biggest part of it all. You can choose to believe in your published book being held in the loving hands of strangers, your name tattooed forever on the heart of the one you adore; you can choose to believe in tiny red-haired pesky piskies--all the things 'they' may tell you not to believe in. But who are they anyway? What do they know? What makes them any more real?"
