Sorry for the delay in posting this, but I was hanging back to make sure 2007 was actually dead and gone. Sometimes they surprise you. And you really don't want to get caught in the middle of a bastard year's death throes.
Anyway.. My friend Claire demanded that I fill this thing out.
It's some sort of Year End Meme.
1. What did you do in 2007 that you’d never done before?
I went to
I went on an actual vacation! I spent a week in
I got dumped WHILE on vacation WITH the woman who dumped me! (and that’s why I was relaxing on the beach being drunk)
2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
Well seeing as how my resolution is always “Don’t Die”, I can pretty much say that I did. At least I think so.
Is there something you’re not telling me?
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Being that I’m not in the medical field, people don’t generally give birth while "close" to me. And I'd prefer that they didn't start.
However the lovely Mrs. Grau, who is near and dear to all who know her, gave birth to the wonder bundle known as Bennet
4. Did anyone close to you die?
Ah.. baring your fangs now eh? Ready to lunge for those squishy emotional parts huh?
My grandmother on my father’s side passed away.
5. What countries did you visit?
I am considered an illegal substance in the majority of the countries anyone would want to visit.
Therefore I visited none.
But I’d also like to say that I’m also considered a delicacy the world round.
6. What would you like to have in 2008 that you lacked in 2007?
Everything.
Does that count as a suitable answer? Because in 2007 I had “jack” and “shit”. And jack left town near the beginning of that year.
Deserting bastard. Always running away. THIS IS NOT CONTRIBUTING TO A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP, JACK!
7. What dates from 2007 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
I don’t so much remember the dates as I remember the horrible life shattering scenarios that played out about me.
I could list them off right now but that would take all the fun out of filling out the rest of this thing.
Besides, I’m really bad with dates. Especially when I’m drunk. And yes, all types.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Not dying!
Isn’t that amazing?! I went through a whole year without dying!
I mean I think that’s just utterly spectacular that I managed to avoid the cold grasping hands of death.
What, you don’t think that it’s all that wonderful?
Screw you! Don’t you rain on my parade! I built all those floats by hand!
9. What was your biggest failure?
Lets not go there. Did you see my answers to previous questions?
That is one serious bucket of worms that we will not be opening.
I’d like to avoid therapy just a bit longer.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
Unless broken hearts count, none.
Do they count? Are we getting points?
11. What was the best thing you bought?
Booze!
What?!
Don’t you judge me!
12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
Mine because I kept from flipping out during the scenario of being dumped while on vacation and stuck in the same freaking beach house for a whole week with the woman who dumped me!
My ex. Because she had worked on her communication skills and tried her best to avoid a painful breakup. (guess what… she failed.)
My rabbits! Because they’re rabbits. All cute and fuzzy.
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
Oh joy! It’s finger pointing time!
Mine because I should have completely flipped out during the scenario of being dumped while on vacation and stuck in the same freaking beach house for a whole week with the woman who dumped me!
My ex. Because even with the improvement her communication skills are still TEH SUCK! and didn’t avoid a painful breakup.
My rabbits! Because they’re rabbits… gnawing on everything!
14. Where did most of your money go?
I’d like to think that an industrious good hearted gnome or elf hides my money away from me. Hording it until it is a mountain of fortune. Then he will return it to me. (and if I ever find him I’m going to backhand him. That’s right.. “bitch betta have my money!”)
But no. I know exactly where it goes. It goes to everything other than making me happy. My car, and it’s newly formed penchant for dying, ate a lot of it.
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
Going to
Going on vacation! (and then I stopped being excited.)
16. What song will always remind you of 2007?
All of the songs I listened to. Although I think someone of them came before 2007.
You’re not going to deduct points are you? Why are you keeping points on this?
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
a) happier or sadder?
b) thinner or fatter?
c) richer or poorer?
1. Apathetic
2. Fluctuating
3. Did you not see the answer to #14? POOOOOORRRRRRRREEEEEERRRRRR
18. What do you wish you’d done more of?
Being motivated
Not being poor
Not getting dumped
Eating
19. What do you wish you’d done less of?
Being lazy
Being poor
Getting dumped
Not eating
(notice how I can just take answers from the first one and add a word to make answers for the second. Yeah! That’s called skill right there. Either that or being a lazy ass. I can never remember which one.)
20. How will you be spending Christmas?
I spent it with my siblings who live in NY.
We’ll not go into details or else I won’t have a blog post for later.
21. Did you fall in love in 2007?
With things, people or ideas? How about I answer them all!
Things: Booze, not my car, my gaming consoles (it’s an on again off again relationship), and probably a whole bunch of things I can’t think of right now.
People: Keep pushing my buttons and see what happens! Ok.. well there’s the rabbits. But how couldn’t you fall in love with them? They’re freaking bunnies! And YES they do count as people.
Ideas: All the horrid little ones floating around on my head.
22. How many one-night stands?
I don’t have a night stand. Are you going to give me one?
23. What was your favorite TV program?
You should put an “S” at the end of that so it can be plural.
Heroes
Journey Man
And a few others that escape my mind at the time. Maybe I’ll come back and add them in when I remember them.
Most likely not. I be lazy.
24. Do you hate anyone now that you didn’t hate this time last year?
Surprisingly it’s not my ex girlfriend.
25. What was the best book you read?
Do comic books count?
I have a tendency to re-read books that I already have. So it’s continually the following:
Real Ultimate Power
Neverwhere
Stardust
Watership Down
Of Mice and Men
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah (too lazy to think and list the others but not too lazy to type a bunch of “blah”. I am a mystery.)
26. What was your greatest musical discovery?
AFI, Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance
(DON’T YOU JUDGE ME!)
27. What did you want and get?
A year of me not dying.
Maintaining what minimal sanity I have.
A Nintendo DS. (I bought it for myself)
28. What did you want and not get?
Way too much and way too lazy to list!
29. What was your favorite film of this year?
300 (aka “The movie of fantastic abs”. Ha! I bet you thought I was going to do something like “THIS IS SPARTA!”… aw crap… I just did.)
Transformers
30 Days of Night
DEFINITELY NOT Ghost Rider!
30. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
I was in NY visiting my siblings up there. If you haven’t guessed my birthday is Christmas day.
So I spent the day watching them open presents and being somewhat disappointed that no one said happy birthday to me until sometime after 4 PM.
Oh and I turned 30. Yes the magical Three-Oh-Crap-I’m-Not-In-My-Twenties-Anymore!
31. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
Please re-read my answers for the this. Remove all the negative or unhappy moments I listed.
There.. that would have made my year immeasurably satisfying.
Oh and while you’re at it.. 8 trillion in USD would help too.
32. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2007?
Personal fashion what?
I guess it would be, “I have clothes… I put them on… I am wearing clothes!”
My coworkers found their year to be immeasurably satisfying when I learned the concept of “wearing” pants.
33. What kept you sane?
My rabbits and my friends.
Nope.. no smartass remark for this one.
34. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
Myself. I fancy myself all the time.
Especially when I’m wearing that tight leather outfit I love so much.
35. What political issue stirred you the most?
I’m allergic to political issues. They make me break out utter distrust for my fellow man.
36. Who did you miss?
Everyone who managed to dodge.
(smartassery abounds!)
37. Who was the best new person you met?
Captain Morgan?
38. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2007.
I’m not dead yet.
39. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.
I don’t think 2007 produced too many songs with lyrics pertaining to my car catching fire, being dumped while on vacation, more car incidents, and having everything fall apart.
Wait.. I might be wrong. There’s probably a country song or 50 out there with that and much more in the lyrics.
I’m not looking them up for you.
