Me Scurvy
Crew: Plunder my treasures: |
A Short Questionaire for 2004 I took this from might-could: 1. What did you do in 2004 that you�ve never done before? I went to my first Witchcamp in Texas, and I drove there alone from Mississippi (12 hours each way alone in a car is a record for me). 2. Did you keep your New Year�s resolutions, and will you make more for this year? I didn�t make any resolutions last year, but I think I might make one this year- to lose some weight for health reasons. 3. Did anyone close to you give birth? Yes, my lovely friend Angela gave birth in July and we now have the fabulous Gabrielle in the world. 4. Did anyone close to you die? Jasmine VanSteenberg died on February 14th due to (I am still not sure I understand what happened) an infection in her transplanted lungs. She had cystic fibrosis. 5. What countries did you visit? None this year. 6. What would you like to have in 2005 that you lacked in 2004? An ass you can bounce a quarter off of. 7. What dates from 2004 will remain etched in your memory, and why? All the days around Jasmine�s death will always be in my memory; I will especially remember the day of her wake. I will also remember some really heavy moments from Witchcamp. 8. What was your biggest achievement of the year? Graduating from massage therapy school. 9. What was your biggest failure? I don�t know that I feel I have had any failures�maybe it�s a failure that I didn�t run away from home and go take a break for a while in AZ or IL�but I think of it more as a choice than a failure. 10. Did you suffer illness or injury? Let�s see�I had some freaky stomach virus early in the year, but aside from that, just your occasional UTI. 11. What was the best thing you bought? I really couldn�t tell you�probably one of my numerous books, or Sims2. 12. Whose behavior merited celebration? My husband. He has really dealt with a lot of my shit this year. 13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed? The owner of the massage therapy school I graduated from. She literally fell apart when her partner left her, and practically took all of us with her. Her behavior was (in my eyes) very unprofessional, spiteful, and chaotic. 14. Where did most of your money go? Jeez, to bills, I guess. 15. What did you get really, really excited about? Witchcamp. Mo made it possible for me to go, and I am ever grateful for the experience. 16. What song will always remind you of 2004? I really don�t know�maybe that Nelly/Tim McGraw monstrosity, just because it makes me wonder how long until the endo of the world comes, even if it arrives just to put me out of my misery. 17. Compared to last year, are you happier or sadder? Probably sadder, but I prefer to call it �more realistic�. Last year, I was really on this whole �take on the world� kick, and I think that the circumstances of this year have taught me that I have a lot to learn. 18. What do you wish you�d done more of? Dancing. 19. What do you wish you�d done less of? Eating. 20. How will you be spending Christmas? Already spent it sitting around the house, boring myself to tears, and loving every minute of it. 21. Did you fall in love in 2004? No, just had a few crushes. 22. How many one-night stands? Nope 23. What was your favorite TV Program? I stopped watching TV this year, but whenever I had the chance, I loved seeing �Nip/Tuck� 24. Do you hate anyone now that you didn�t hate this time last year? I don�t think I hate anyone, but I am still harboring my intense dislike for one of my aunts who continues to try to break down my brother�s confidence and self-esteem. 25. What was the best book you read? I really liked �White Oleander� by Janet Fitch. 26. What was your greatest musical discovery? I found that I really like T. Thorn Coyle�s work. 27. What did you want and get? I wanted to graduate from massage school, and I did. 28. What was your favorite film this year? It sounds so ridiculous, but I loved Dodgeball. Return of the King came out last year, so it doesn�t count. 30. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying? Knowing whether I should stay with or leave my current relationship. 31. What political issue stirred you the most? Don�t get me started. I saw a woman driving an SUV yesterday with a license plate that said �conserve our natural resources� and a �W: The President� sticker right next to it. Mississippians, in general, lack the sort of irony that could have made that a joke. Ok, now that I have vented�I think the �moral values� bullshit I have been hearing as of late pisses me off the most. 32. Who did you miss? I miss my mom, my dad, my brother, Elliot, Angela, Rox, the VanSteenbergs, all of my friends that I never get to see anymore, etc. There are lots to miss. 33. Who was the best new person you met? I would have to say Deirdra. She has been a big shining beacon of light for me this year. 34. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2004. You can always make another choice. 34. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year. they were digging a new foudation in Manhattan except all the radios agree with all the tvs people used to make records and they say that alcoholics are always alcoholics Am i headed for the same brick wall there's a fire just waiting for fuel said the Dread Pirate Ro at 12:10 PM on December 30, 2004 Aarrgh! 2 scurvy dogs said "Ahoy, matey!"
