New Year's meme yanked from [livejournal.com profile] capncosmo, because I am a sheep. Also apparently incapable of summing up my year without the help of prompts.



1. WHAT DID YOU DO IN 2009 THAT YOU'D NEVER DONE BEFORE?
Moved to Japan, learned ikebana, "taught English", and hand-sewed an entire dress.

2. DID YOU KEEP YOUR NEW YEARS' RESOLUTIONS, AND WILL YOU MAKE MORE FOR NEXT YEAR?
Don't make them.

3. DID ANYONE CLOSE TO YOU GIVE BIRTH?
No.

4. DID ANYONE CLOSE TO YOU DIE?
Yes.

5. WHAT COUNTRIES DID YOU VISIT?
Japan, Greece, Turkey.

A job that I can live on that makes me happy.

7. WHAT DATES FROM 2009 WILL REMAIN ETCHED UPON YOUR MEMORY AND WHY?

Getting to Japan, I guess.

Writing? I don't know.

10. DID YOU SUFFER ILLNESS OR INJURY?
No more than the common cold.

I don't know.

13. WHOSE BEHAVIOUR MADE YOU APPALLED AND DEPRESSED?
Joytalk's.

Travel.

Seeing mom in Hawaii, knowing that soon after I'd see Stevie.

16. WHAT SONG WILL ALWAYS REMIND YOU OF 2009?
I don't know.

17. COMPARED TO THIS TIME LAST YEAR ARE YOU:
i. HAPPIER OR SADDER? Sadder.
ii. THINNER OR FATTER? Thinner. I had to buy a million new pairs of pants and every single person who's ever known me asked me where I'd melted away too.
iii. RICHER OR POORER? Poorer, all things considered.

18. WHAT DO YOU WISH YOU'D DONE MORE OF?
Been with my father and grandmother.

19. WHAT DO YOU WISH YOU'D DONE LESS OF?
Been so cold that leaving the house seemed like torture.

In Hawaii with my mother, walking lazily around Waikiki.

Not that I'm aware of.

Kanjani8. By that I mean properly learning about them.

27. WHAT DID YOU WANT AND GET?
To go to Japan.

28. WHAT DID YOU WANT AND NOT GET?
An actual job here.

29. WHAT WAS YOUR FAVOURITE FILM OF THE YEAR?
Doubt was really good. I don't actually remember what else I've seen other than the Kamen Rider movies and Yatterman.

30. WHAT DID YOU DO ON YOUR BIRTHDAY, AND HOW OLD WERE YOU?
I don't remember - that was a full year ago. I was 22 turning 23.

The internet, probably.

34. WHICH CELEBRITY/PUBLIC FIGURE DID YOU FANCY THE MOST?
Nino, I guess.

35. WHAT POLITICAL ISSUE STIRRED YOU THE MOST?
I have completely lost track of everything happening in America. I've heard we hate Obama now, though.

36. WHO DID YOU MISS?
Everyone back home.

37. WHO WAS THE BEST NEW PERSON YOU MET?
Amanda! (She's my secret girlfriend.)

38. TELL US A VALUABLE LIFE LESSON YOU LEARNED IN 2009:
I'll let you know when I can think of something that isn't in cliched terms. If ever.

39. QUOTE A SONG LYRIC THAT SUMS UP YOUR YEAR.
Sunrise, sunset,
Sunrise, sunset.

WHY CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND THE SPIRITUAL LOVE MY BRAIN SHARES WITH AMANDA'S?! ;o;

Actually, I didn't forget about it. I considered it and went, 'naaaaah, that must have been 2008'. XD;

No see, Avex was 2008. It's easy to blend the two trips, really.

Except one had Sho.

:Db


AND IT"S STILL CHEATING. ;o; I'm taking the dog and the kids and going to my mom's.
