6. What would you like to have in 2011 that you lacked in 2010? A lifeplan?
7. What dates from 2010 will remain etched upon your memory? Shoot, now you're asking me to remember things. Ok, graduation and all related activities in May. June 3rd, that was my anniversary! And every monthiversary we had also. September 10th - Bid Day. It was WHOA exciting. October 22nd - a concert that night, and Big/Little Reveal... yet another crazy-exciting day. And November 19th and 20th, which may have changed my life forever, all because of three little letters with so much meaning. I'll say the concert on December 11th too, that was pretty cool.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year? I graduated pretty nice... made some nice grades in college too.
9. What was your biggest failure? My lack of motivation in each and every aspect of my life. Also, the month of November as far selfishness goes.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury? Well, I got A LOT of shots. They were all injury-making.
11. What was the best thing you bought? Hahaha, I'm probably going to have to say an article of clothing, but I really can't pick my favorite... Here's a Greek joke: the best thing I bought was friends. But I guess my real answer is all the pictures that I had printed for my dorm room. They remind me of all the people I love!
12. Whose behavior merited celebration? Hmm... Conner's, for trying so hard in everything he does. And Logan, for being awesome in general and actually missing me when I went away. And Olivia, just for being there.
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed? My own, sometimes.
14. Where did most of your money go? College. And the mall.
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about? Everything that's changed my life and made it wonderful in these past few months. My new sisters, my old friends.
16. What song will always remind you of 2010? Like a G6. Hahaha actually, if we're thinking more serious songs... Glitter in the Air.
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
a) happier or sadder? This might actually be tied for last year, as far as happiness goes. Probably happier, since I was in school this time last year.
b) thinner or fatter? The same, I think.
c) richer or poorer? Richer in some ways... but so, so poor when it comes to money.
18. What do you wish you'd done more of? Writing I guess, and keeping in touch with old friends, and working harder to get to know new ones. And really trying to get a plan for my life.
19. What do you wish you'd done less of? Procrastinating. And being distracted in general. Like now.
20. Did you fall in love in 2010? Yes. All over again.
21. How many one-night stands? Gonna go with zero, I should say.
22. What was your favorite TV program? Hmm... Glee I guess. Although 30 Rock really outdid themselves this year.
24. Do you dislike anyone now that you didn't dislike this time last year? Well, yes, but I didn't really know them last year.
25. What was the best book you read? This is really hard. I think the coolest book I read was Awakenings since I know the authors and my name is inside!!!!! But I guess I'd have to go with... Left to Tell by Immaculee Ilibagiza. Sad, but really mind-blowing. Ooh wait, no. I'm going with The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks for sure. So crazy interesting.
26. What was your greatest musical discovery? Haha, interesting question. Probably the experience of listening to my own choir sing O Magnum and Christ the Appletree. Or the experience of hearing Relient K at Musica, which is just an awesome venue to begin with.
27. What did you want and get? New black boots, a new coat, and a college that I fell in love with.
28. What did you want and not get? A perfect relationship, I guess. But obviously I learned that there's no such thing.
29. What was your favorite film of this year? Oh man... That came out this year? I would honestly have to say that I most enjoyed the kid movies... Dispicable Me and Tangled.
30. What did you do on your birthday? Went to school, if I'm remembering right. I think I went out to dinner too, but I can never remember.

34. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most? Probably Sarah Palin. No, in real life? Um... ok, I thought that the new gay guy in Glee, the Very Potter Musical guy, was pretty cute.
35. What political issue stirred you the most? The dispute over building a mosque near the World Trade Center.
36. Who did you miss? EVERYONE. Literally everyone in my life I missed at some point this year.
37. Who was the best new person you met? Oh, wow. This question is so weird, because there were so many people in my life this past year who were never in it before - and now I can't imagine life without them.
