michael row the boat ashore

Well, since no one knows I have this, its safe to post. Whee.

Funny how we use surveys to jog our memories. Like we can't do it on our own or something...

Will any date from 2007 stay attached in your memory forever?: January 4, April 28

What was your biggest achievement of 2007?: realizing that I could step outside what I thought was possible

What was your biggest failure?: faith/trust

Did you suffer illness or injury?: only the minor kind

What was the best thing you bought in '07: The best things cannot be bought, but if I must name something...my journal. (because I bought the camera and laptop in 06)

Did your behavior change over the year? YES

Where did you spend most of your money?: traveling

Are you happier than this time last year?: More content, so I guess "happier", although I find that extremely poor word choice.

What song will remind you of 2007?: anything by Panic! at the Disco, "Umbrella", anything from Spring Awakening, "Thnks fr th Mmrs", "Crazy Bitch", "Sheep Go to Heaven", Gwen Stefani's "Escape" song, "Hey There, Delilah", "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger", anything from Grand Hotel, Godspell, She Loves Me, "We Are All Made of Stars", MIKA!

What do you wish you would have done less of?: stress

Did you fall in love in 2007?: not with a person

Did you get your heart broken in 2007?: no, maybe scratched a little, but I can prove its there

Favorite TV program of '07?: even though I only saw one episode, Lillies

What was the best book you read? East of Eden probably (props to HP anyway)

Best movie? The Last Legion

What was your greatest discovery? either I don't have to be alone or God still loves me. Thinking the latter one matters more, but the first one is pretty heavy...

What did you do on your birthday and how old were you?: Legal enough, was kidnapped and enjoyed time on the river!

Whats one thing that would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?: kissing the right person, instead of just the one who wanted it. Also, dropping a particular course

Who will you never forget?: that's something I cannot guarantee, but when I think of the what, I'll know the who

Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2007: I learned that I can trust someone, but that I should be more careful. I do not regret my actions, though I know I could have been wiser about it. But then, hindsight is always 20/20, isn't it? I learned how intoxicating and addicting life can be, and how destructive focusing on the addiction can be as well.

What will you always remember about 2007?: HSRT and the people I befriended there, kissing, Harlaxton and the people I befriended there, traveling all over, responsibility, hopefully the Greek will stick too
