THE 2007 THAT WAS

Just over 12 months ago I filled this thing out. Well here we go again.

1. Overall, have you had a good year?
Absolutely! 2007 has been a year of growth and broadening my horizons more than I ever have before. I am so lucky to be living in such an amazing city, with such a rewarding job and with so many truly incredible friends. I like who I am, and who I have become this year.


2. What has been your biggest achievement?
Surviving my first 12 months of full time work as a Registered Nurse certainly tops the list. Sometimes I wonder just exactly how I stumbled my way through it, but there you go, and I couldn't be happier with the way my career is heading.

Also, there may possibly been a few tiny little events that I maybe had a small hand in helping to organise. Maybe.

3. Did you take any exams? Pass?
Absolutely not and I couldn't be happier. Why then do I intend to return to university level study in 2008? Beats me.

4. Have you had your birthday yet?
In 8 days it will be my birthday, all day.

5. Have you been on Holiday?
NO! And when I filled this thing in last year, I included a "perhaps next year" in response to this question. So I will say it again - Perhaps Next Year.

6. Where (list and when)?
See above.

7. Have you bought anything expensive?
My shiny new bedroom furnitiure was relatively expensive, yes.

8. Have you had a job?
Good Ol' St. V's. It's been so good to me I intend on returning in 2008. Whaddya know?

9. Made any big decisions?
Mabe not as big as the decisions that I was making this time last year, but yes I have I suppose. Life changing decisions? Could be. We'll see.

10. Lost a friend or loved one?
No Thank God. A stark contrast to my response to this question last time.

11. Met anyone amazing?
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! Well, in my line of work you meet hundreds of very amazing people! That should go without saying.

Aside from that, I have made a lot of new and very special friends this year. They know who they are, and they know they're amazing. :-)

12. Made new friends?
Hah, refer to above? Indeed I have.

13. Moved house?
Yes, and I am bloody about to do it again.

14. Changed College?
University, and thats for 2008. ACU here I come.

15. Tried something new?
Plenty, most of which I am sure none of you want to hear about.

16. Been more happy or sad?
The happiness should always outweigh the sadness, and it absolutely has this year. In fact, I would go so far as to say that I am happier now than I have been in a very long time.

17. Made any enemies?
Make Love, Not War.

18. What music will you remember from this year?
Hmm....good question. I have spent plenty of time ah ... Wrocking ... out this year. So maybe that. :-D

19. What movies have you seen at the cinema this year?
A few, but Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix in IMAX certainly tops the lot. If not for the movie itself, for the people I had the pleasure of seeing it with! I don't think I have ever laughed so much in a cinema in my entire life. Thanks guys!

20. What was your best night out?
Well theres this bar ... I think they call it Barry? Pretty sure that was a fun night.

22. Best Day?
I am not certain I can single one out, and thats the honest truth. There have been far too many brilliant ones. Generaly speaking, the times I have spent chilling with family and friends (both new and old) take pride of place in my 'best day' list. Thats what matters the most.

23. Worst day?
I'm not sure I can even answer that question this year. There have been days where I have come home close to (or sometimes in) tears, wanting nothing more than to kick a hole in the wall, screw it all, quit my job and move to Mexico. But thats part of life, and from everything bad, should come something good. And thats been true too.


24. Best month?
Usually my standardised answer for this question is December. And that may be true. HOWEVER July was pretty awesome, as was October. Thanks to everyone who were the reason for that :-)

25. Worst month?
Ummm.....August? I don't have a reason why, I have just never really liked August.

27. Was summer a gooden'?
Summer is hot. 'Nuff said.

27. Have you made better friends with anyone?
Yes. And I am a better person for it.

28. Lost any friends?
No. And I am a better person for it.

29. How many people have you kissed in the year of 2007?
Fuck Off.

31. Did you have your heart broken?
My heart was never in a position to be broken.

32. Made any plans for next year?
Post Graduate Qualification, stickin' with St. V's, new apartment, new housemate... umm... is that enough?

33.How many hair colours have you had?
Couple. The 'blondie' is currently brunette.

34. Got pierced?
No.

35. Got inked?
No.

36. Changed your image?
The 'blondie' is currently brunette. :-P Also, people who don't see me all the time, tell me I have changed. I hope thats a good thing.

37. Missed anyone?
Lots. And lots and lots and lots!

38. Know what you want in the future?
I have an idea, but the best thing about being human is being able to change you mind. Lets just see what the future holds for me, huh?

39. Regret anything?
Never.
