Obligatory Year End Survey/Review

Good luck getting through this whole thing. I'm apparently really boring. :)


What did you do in 2012 that you’d never done before?
 So I filled an entire U-Haul truck with my belongings.  I've never done that before.  Not sure if that's a good thing or not...but it happened. 

Did you keep your new year’s resolutions and will you make more for next year?
So I specifically remember saying I hate resolutions and I never make them.  So, no, pretty sure I didn't make any last year.  But this year, I think my resolution is to step outside my comfort zone and do things I wouldn't normally do.  We'll see how that goes. 

What countries did you visit?
I went to Austria, Czech Republic, and Hungary.  Such an awesome trip. 

What would you like to have in 2013 that you lacked in 2012?
I hate the way this is worded.  I feel like lack has such a negative connotation.  Just because I didn't have something doesn't mean I was lacking...

Having said that, I have no idea.  I've been trying to get rid of stuff in my life.  I don't really know what I want to bring into it. 

What dates from 2012 will remain etched upon your memory and why?
March 8 was kind of shitty. 

What was your biggest achievement of the year?
I applied for a job I didn't think I had any chance of getting, and actually got it. 

What was your biggest failure
Failing to run the half marathon in Seattle.  I'm still pretty pissed about that. 

Did you suffer illness or injury
I feel like each month I've had a horrible cold/allergy attack.  It's been pretty obnoxious. 

What was the best thing you bought
My car.  I love love love love it.  The mattress and couch are close seconds. 

Whose behavior merited celebration
Um, all my friends?

Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed
I really don't want to answer this.

Where did most of your money go
Savings, paying for a car, buying furniture, food, taking care of my dumb ass dog. You know, typical boring stuff.

What song will always remind you of 2012
Sadly, it will be Call Me Maybe.  But not because I liked it or anything, just because it was ALWAYS on. 

Compared to this time last year are you (a) happier or sadder? (b) thinner or fatter? (c) richer or poorer
Oy, I hate this question. I don't recall how I felt last year, but I'm guessing I'm sadder, same-ish, richer.

What do you wish you’d done more of
I wish I had worked out more, made smarter choices, and talked about things instead of letting them build up.

Did you fall in love in 2012
Oy, this question.  Yes.  Didn't exactly work out well, thanks for bringing it up again.

What was your favorite TV program
How I Met Your Mother and Game of Thrones.  I don't really watch TV that much anymore. 

Do you hate anyone now that you didn’t hate this time last year
It's not worth my time to hate anyone. I do dislike some people that I didn't last year, but hating is too much effort for them.

What did you do on your birthday and how old were you
I turned 30 and had a fantastic birthday weekend!  This included a crazy happy hour after work, a visit from RR, a random trip to Atlantic City, some labor day parties and a Bruce Concert.  Fun times. 

How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2012.
Still all about the comfort. I wear a lot of jeans and khakis and argyle. I'm not exactly trendy.

What kept you sane
Running and drinking beer and knitting at times?

Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most
Mila Kunis and Woody Harrelson. Such a crush on both of them.

What political issue stirred you the most
Women's health and rights

Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2012
You can't force something that isn't meant to be. 

Quote a song lyric that sums up your year
I don't know where I'm going yet, but I sure am getting there
