yamamanamaWill I get Autumn's Grey Solace first or will Kara Mano Iru talk to me first? It's been, what? Three... four... I don't know anymore... days since I attempted to talk to her. She wasn't as hostile and said to hold on, she won't forget. If it was anyone else, I'd be very pleased.
1. Was 2007 a good year for you?
It was very bittersweet.
2. What was your favorite moment of the year?
Hmm, hearing Beethoven's 9th Symphony live.
3. What was your least favorite moment of the year?
Losing many friends.
4. What are your plans for 2008?
Graduate, go to graduate school, be annihilated when the moon falls upon the earth, summon butterflies.
5. What countries did you visit?
The furthest I went from home this year was New York. Declaring a plot of land around me to be The Republic of Ambergris doesn't count.
6. What date in 2007 will remain etched in your memory?
October... something. But it had cake. Or maybe death.
7. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Typing Smashing Pumpkins with the thingus obscuring it.
8. What was your biggest failure?
Trying not to be too bitter.
9. Did you suffer any illness or injury?
Post wisdom teeth fun times!
10. What was the best thing you bought?
Shriek: An Afterword
11. Who's behaviour made you appalled and depressed?
Miyomi.
12. Where did most of your money go?
Books
13. What did you get really really really excited about?
Hopes that never come
14. What songs will always remind you of 2007?
Lots of Slowdive, World's End Girlfriend, Miaou, and Cocteau Twins
15. Compared to this time last year are you:
a) Fatter or thinner? About the same.
b) Happier or sadder? Sadder.
c) Richer or poorer? Same.
16. What do you wish you'd done more of?
Talking to someone who's actually really cool. See, that's the problem with assuming that because one person thinks because his friends said I suck that I suck means everyone thinks the same.
17. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Lying there like an unemployed whale because I felt I had nothing to look forward to.
18. How will you be spending Christmas?
With family.
19. Which LJ/MySpace users did you meet for the first time?
None.
20. Did you fall in love in 2007?
Yes. Probably unrequited, as always.
21. How many one night stands?
None.
22. What was your favourite TV show?
Futurama
23. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
Yeah.
24. What was/were the best books you read?
The Great And Secret Show, Gormenghast, Shriek: An Afterword, Weaveworld, The Course of the Heart
25. What was your greatest musical discovery?
Slowdive... you know, I was just talking about that.
26. What did you want and get?
LOL! There's quite a few things. I kid you not this LOA thing is insane!
27. What did you want and not get?
Reconciliation.
28. What was your favourite film this year?
Torn between Pan's Labyrinth, Twelve Monkeys, and City of Lost Children.
We're talking about things I saw, not things that came out, right?
29. What did you do on your birthday and how old were you?
Turned 23, but wasn't supposed to until mid August. I slept a lot, got Thai at Quincy Market, and went to a performance in Boston.
30. What one thing would have made your year more satisfying?
Actually being able to succeed.
31. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2007?
Holding things together with tape.
32. What kept you sane?
A month-long Cocteau Twins-induced high.
33. Which celebrity did you fancy the most?
Miki Berenyi!
34. Which political issue stirred you the most?
35. Who did you miss?
Lots of people.
36. Did you treat somebody badly in 2007?
Yes.
37. Did somebody treat you badly in 2007?
Yes.
I like to think I'm more tolerant of others' transgression.
38. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned this year?
It's astonishing how much trouble one can get oneself into, if one works at it. And astonishing how much trouble one can get oneself out of, if one simply assumes that everything will, somehow, or other, work out for the best.
39. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year...
Closed doors bring open minds.
