Happy New Year
Happy New Year LJ. May 2009 be a happy affair for everyone out there. If 2008 sucked, I hope it gets better for you. If it was awesome... well then I hope it stays so. We had some company over for dinner. It was nice.
Anyway.. have a 2008 survey. And another meme under the cut too.
# What did you do in 2008 that you'd never done before?
Stayed moved out. Went to TGA for the first time (I think?). Moved back home. Got dumped.
# Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I checked both my lj and my paper journal. I guess I didn't make any last year. In fact, I think I made 3 written entries in 2008. It's my angst/memorable moments log. I had many memorable moments, but they stayed in my mind. I will probably be using it a lot more now. And this time there will be resolutions in it.

Nope.
# Did anyone close to you die?
No one, thank goodness.
# What countries did you visit?
None this time around.
# What would you like to have in 2009 that you lacked in 2008?
Nothing. I spent most of 2008 on top of the world, what more could I ask for besides a return to stability?
# What date from 2008 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
What date won't? But right now... 12/23 and 12/25. And not because it was Christmas.
