Here’s a meme I took a year ago. Compare it with the old answers here. C’mon, do it. >:(
1. What did you do in 2004 that you’d never done before?
Got real jobs.
2. Did you keep your new years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I don’t think I had any. I think I’ll make a resolution next year to get a girlfriend. I’ve been sorta preparing for that.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Nope
4. Did anyone close to you die?
Yep, my paternal grandma died.
5. What countries did you visit?
Uh… damn, none.
6. What would you like to have in 2005 that you lacked in 2004?
I guess a girlfriend. I wasn’t really looking for one last year, so it’s not like I was “lacking” one.
7. What date from 2004 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
Nov 2, 2004 – anyone remember that?
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Getting a bunch of money, by way of a job with Sun, and having my UTMA transferred to me.

Withdrawing from Calculus 2, getting a D in Computer Science. Basically, my Winter quarter.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
I developed horrible rashes on my feet at the beginning of the year that haven’t yet gone away. They’re pretty much as bad as ever, all scabby and sticking to my socks and stuff. TMI, I know.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
Gad I bought so much. Probably my IIDX controller.
12. Whose behaviour merited celebration?
Went to New York to, well, not really “celebrate” with my cousin who got cancer, but of course he was in high spirits and quite the “trooper” as it were, so that’s worth celebrating.
13. Whose behaviour made you appalled and depressed?
The Bush administration’s, of course.
14. Where did most of your money go?
Buying IIDX stuff.
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
Hmm, so many things near the end of the year… getting my grades, going into the office, playing IIDX in the arcade. 😛

TaQ’s entire bounce connected album.

Last year I wrote: “Had an awesome birthday party with a whole lot of friends. It was at Max’s as usual, but we also hung out and watched some movies. Can’t ask for much more than spending time with friends.” Ditto for this year, only on New Year’s Eve. 😀
31. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?

New people… huh, there’s only a few of those. I met Ryan and Phil this year, they be cool.
38. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2004:
Even though drama might be stupid, compassion is important and no one really likes it when I act like an asshole. ;D
39. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
It’s hard to quote a TaQ song without sounding retarded so I guess I’ll quote all the TaQ songs and be retarded: “THE MOST DIFFICULT THING I’VE EVER TRIED TO DO IS TO CLEAR THE MIND OH THIS IS BAD THIS IS FUCKED UP JUST DISTURBED GUYS.”
awesome final project
Thanks 😀
