That also makes me giggle... history geekness seems to be a plague in our group, doesn't it? |
| Rogue Posts: 6967/11918 |
I suddenly realized I started last year visiting Wyatt Earp's grave (he's buried just south of San Francisco), and spent New Year's eve visiting the graves of the McLaurys and Billy Clanton, who were all killed at the OK Corral on the opposing side.
I'd say that's weird, but I'm a history geek, so I giggled like a school girl. |

1. What have you done in 2010 that you have never done before?
- Gone through unemployment. 2. Did you keep your new years resolution from this year, and will you make one for next year? - Not fully for one, failed tremendously on another. Trying again on both. 3. Did anyone close to you give birth? - Sister's due with her second kid this summer. 4. Did anyone close to you die? - No, unless you're speaking about a relationship, then yea. 5. Where did you travel to in 2010? - To IL twice (from AR). I drove once, my father did the other. The former was solo. 6. What would you like to have in 2011 that you lacked in 2010? - A little more financial stability. This has been a WIP over five years. I would say 'work towards a degree' but this may be another year off thanks to unemployment and hard times with the economy and I'm not in the mood for yet another loan to pay off. 7. What dates from 2010 will you have etched in your memory, and why? - I'm terrible with remembering exact days, but probably Thanksgiving day since it was pretty darn cool. Hiked and saw all of these natural wonders and then ate on Route 66. 8. What was your biggest achievement of the year? - A+ certification on top of landing a job with a firm that is one of the best in the central Little Rock region for computing. 9. What was your biggest failure? - Too many to count. Not even going there. I'll look at the positive side of things in this capacity. 10. Did you suffer injury or illness? - No, actually. Turn of the year I got an ear infection, though. Fun stuff. 11. What was the best thing you bought? - Can't really say much of anything until the start of the year, which was a good amount of furniture. 12. Whose behavior merited celebration? - Probably my father for turning shit around after his second divorce and getting knocked out of a job. Unfortunately, that was fleeting, and the economy met with hard times and him again, so he's currently jobless. He's still kicking, though, so I imagine it won't be long before he's back in the running. He's not had a very good year in the least but at least he has people coming out of the woodwork and a new lady friend to talk to outside of just me, in his family, being the only one around. 13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed? - Sister with second kid announcement. No problem with kids but she hardly can afford the one that she has now and is very reckless in her care anyways. 14. Where did most of your money go? - Bills and being jobless. 15. What did you get really, really, really excited about? - Hauling ass those two weeks to get the job I now have. Seriously, I was goaling those two weeks and went from worst to first in that job lineup. Shame it doesn't QUITE pay as much as I want it to but I can use what I have for perks to my advantage nonetheless. 16. What song will always remind you of 2010? - No clue. 17. Compared to this time last year, you are: a) Happier or Sadder? - Indifferent. I'm not completely there, but I'm somewhere further than I was with a lot of setbacks to take into consideration. b) Thinner or Fatter? - Five pounds up at the start of the year. That's since been reduced. c) Richer or Poorer? - Better off financially, but the overhead going back and forth to the job has grown. About the same but it better terms for perks and the ability to grow. I'd say a little richer. 18. What do you wish you would have done more of? - Not really sure...I did quite a whole lot towards the later half of the year. I pretty much did what I had to without stopping (outside of Thanksgiving trip to IL). 19. What do you wish you would have done less of? - Work. Fact of life at my age and position, though. 20. How did you spend: Halloween? - By myself. Chilled with people on the net. Thanksgiving? - Drove up the day or so before and went to see my mother, sister and aunt/uncle over the first few days then drove back down south and saw a bud I've mine I've known since high school. Hung out there for a day and then hit the road back home. Christmas? - Spent the night with my father and his lady friend and had a time with some food and Rotel dip. Slim pickings this year, but it was to be expected for both sides. We just enjoyed each others' company. 21. Did you fall in love in 2010? - Nope. Not holding on to that hope any time soon. If it happens, it happens. 22. What was your favorite TV show? - Have no cable for a reason. 23. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year? - Not really. 24. What was the best book you read? - Got me. For my outlook on life? Probably the stuff I used to study for certs. Sounds geeky but... 25. What was your greatest musical discovery? - Sheesh...too much to count. That adds on at a weekly basis. 26. What did you want and get? - Nothing, really. Outside of what I bought for myself during the year. 27. What did you want and not get? - Indifferent on this but my wants are long term, not really short term. 28. What was your favorite film of this year? - Also indifferent. 29. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you? - 26 and not much, to be honest. :/ 30. What is one thing that would have made your year more satisfying? - I'm not picky, I guess. I don't really know. 31. How would you describe your personal fashion concept of 2010? - Plain Jane outside of the time I went to Woot and ordered a shitload of XL sized tees. 32. What kept you sane? - Good question. I ask that about myself every so often. 33. What celebrity/Public figure did you fancy the most? - Yea right. 34. What political issue stirred you the most? - Not even going there. 35. Who do you miss? - IL. Have for years. 36. Did you reconnect with anyone? - Yea, I suppose, but not really too much. I'm a little tough to do that with after you burn me the first dozen or two times. 37. Tell us a life lesson you learned in 2010. - If you don't have perseverance, you will never be more than you are now. 38. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year. - ??? 39. What plans do you have for 2011? - Move, likely, depending on funds. The question is if I move to Little Rock or somewhere else. Funds with a raise are necessary. No exceptions. With A+ now, I can do quite a bit more in that capacity to get where I want. Although a bachelor's on top of that would certainly be nice. 40. What are your resolutions for 2011? - Same as before. |

Happy New Year! Bored? Feel free to fill this out too.
1. What have you done in 2010 that you have never done before? - That's a VERY long list of new places and events I've been to, foods I've tried, and people I've met or interviewed. Along with those, though, I had to get stitches, I spoke at USC, guested on a radio show, declared myself a double-major, did a Renaissance faire out-of-state, got stung by wasps, walked the entire length of the new Hoover Dam bypass with my mom, had things I wrote get bounced around the internet, had a photo I took published into a university textbook, and hiked a bunch of new places. 2. Did you keep your new years resolution from this year, and will you make one for next year? - For the most part -- try/do/learn at least one new thing a day. I'm letting it ride this coming year. 3. Did anyone close to you give birth? - Not this year. But here's hoping Michelle has better luck in 2011 and is able to carry the one she conceived on Thanksgiving to term. 4. Did anyone close to you die? - Not particularly close, but we had to go to my great uncle Irving's funeral in Las Vegas last month. 5. Where did you travel to in 2010? - Went to Arizona a few times, the Bay Area a couple times, and went to Las Vegas in mid-December. 6. What would you like to have in 2011 that you lacked in 2010? - 2010 was pretty satisfying as it was, and wishing for things only makes a person miserable. Even if I had more money, this sort of thing would just prompt me to wish for more. 7. What dates from 2010 will you have etched in your memory, and why? - I'm terrible with remembering exact days, but probably Thanksgiving day since it was pretty darn cool. Hiked and saw all of these natural wonders and then ate on Route 66. 8. What was your biggest achievement of the year? - I guess it depends. I won a bunch of awards from the Daily Titan for writing so many stories, but I think getting a picture into a textbook is probably the biggest for me. 9. What was your biggest failure? - Hmm, not sure. I went for managing editor for the fall semester, didn't get the job, but in the long run this last semester was my toughest in terms of class workload. Also, I did a lot of fun stuff that I wouldn't have been able to if I had gotten the job. On top of that, I think this past semester's paper was actually pretty poor in terms of content and the letters to the editor and lack thereof otherwise really reflect that. So.. my "failure" in retrospect was lucky. 10. Did you suffer injury or illness? - I fell walking up an escalator getting to class and ended up needing 8 stitches. 11. What was the best thing you bought? - The BEST thing? Either my ceramic tankard, which I got at the Arizona Renaissance faire, all of my textbooks from last semester, or the last two seasons of "My Name is Earl" bundled together for $9. 12. Whose behavior merited celebration? - This professor I interviewed who was getting ready to climb Mount Everest, which she did, and she's suffering from this really rare disease that's killing her. 13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed? - The answer to #12's husband. 14. Where did most of your money go? - Into road trips and conventions. Comic-Con tickets alone were $200, and the room we stayed in was over $300 for 4 days. 15. What did you get really, really, really excited about? - There were two things actually made me skip - Arizona Renaissance faire (well... not really as I just got stitches two days before we went) and Maker Faire, up near San Francisco. 16. What song will always remind you of 2010? - Probably "Separate Ways" by Journey. I listened to it non-stop for days and then it ended up used in the "Tron" sequel. Heh. 17. Compared to this time last year, you are: a) Happier or Sadder? - Happier, I suppose. Looking forward to all the great things in the coming year. b) Thinner or Fatter? - Most likely fatter. c) Richer or Poorer? - Hm, if we're talking money maybe slightly richer as my bank account isn't in the negative. Otherwise, richer in other aspects. 18. What do you wish you would have done more of? - Doesn't #6 pertain to pretty much the same thing? I suppose, though, I should have hiked more and done more physical activities. 19. What do you wish you would have done less of? - Hm, thinking about negative things and dwelling on the past, I guess. 20. How did you spend: Halloween? - Went to a comic book convention during the day, then later my boyfriend's band played the West Hollywood Carnaval. That night we helped break the world record for most people dancing the Time Warp at the same time. Thanksgiving? - The day itself was spent hiking and seeing gorgeous sights in Arizona. Christmas? - At home with my parents, boyfriend, and grandmother. Went for a short hike and then had dinner at this French restaurant with Brandon. 21. Did you fall in love in 2010? - Not romantically (as I've already got someone I love in that regard), but I fell pretty hard for three things, otherwise: Hetalia, my straightening iron, and Thomas Jane. 22. What was your favorite TV show? - Boardwalk Empire. House and Mad Men come in close seconds. 23. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year? - What the fuck is up with the negativity meme writer? To answer the question... I suppose there are people I dislike that I didn't before. Oh wait, no there is something I truly hate: Las Vegas' spirit of needing to stay relevant and modern. Yeah, yeah. DIAF. 24. What was the best book you read? - The only novel I really read cover-to-cover was Bread Givers and it was pretty good. But counting graphic novels, I'd go with Will Eisner's A Contract with God. 25. What was your greatest musical discovery? - Of the year? Probably Versailles Philharmonic Quintet. 26. What did you want and get? - Now this is getting a bit abstract. OK, now the question makes more sense looking at the next one. What I wanted and "got" would probably be getting to go to every convention, faire, and road trip sight and I wanted to go and see. The biggest things were an interview with the creators of steampunk and a trip to a steampunk tavern followed by getting to go to a pirate rock show. 27. What did you want and not get? - Whoever wrote this meme apparently didn't have enough of something or get what they wanted because this is the third question like it. Still wishing for a PS3, I suppose. 
28. What was your favorite film of this year? - Either Scott Pilgrim vs. the World or True Grit. 29. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you? - Sang karaoke at midnight with friends. On the actual day, had lunch at this Italian place, and then went hiking, which turned into impromptu rock climbing trip (  ). Had cajun food for dinner. The next night some friends took me and Brandon out for Indian food, took us bowling, and then went for yogurt. Oh, and I turned 25.
30. What is one thing that would have made your year more satisfying? - Seriously, man. Seriously. Honestly, don't know. 31. How would you describe your personal fashion concept of 2010? - Layers! I've walked around in the rain in two coats and jeans and come out dry and comfortable. For trips in the snowy areas, I was fine with a thermal, a hoodie, and a coat. Otherwise, I wasn't trying to make a statement of any kind.
32. What kept you sane? - Brandon and the promise that I could escape to some place on the weekend. 33. What celebrity/Public figure did you fancy the most? - I sort of answered this already, but it's Thomas Jane and James Hetfield. 34. What political issue stirred you the most? - There were a few things, but since I had to write a story on it and interview politicians: the cost of education and how the chancellor of my university's system is paid more than Obama. 35. Who do you miss? - Navy. She refuses to get a Facebook and I'm rarely on LiveJournal these days. 36. Did you reconnect with anyone? - Andrea. Ran into her at a release party for the sixth Scott Pilgrim book. Turned out she was taking the graphic novel class too. 37. Tell us a life lesson you learned in 2010. - I'm still not entirely sure what I learned from 2010. Getting stung by wasps hurts. 38. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year. - "Life is like a hurricane here in Duckburg. Race cars, lasers, aeroplanes - it's a duck blur You might solve a mystery or rewrite history." You figure it out. 39. What plans do you have for 2011? - Work internship. Graduate. Travel to Greece, Egypt, Israel, Turkey, and Italy. Halloween in Jerusalem... it's gonna be crazy. 40. What are your resolutions for 2011? - Same as before. Do/learn/try something new every day. |
