Well, it&#8217;s pretty much the end of the year so I&#8217;ll take one. I think it will merit information that was not previously disclosed!<br \/>\n<b>1. What did you do in 2003 that you&#8217;d never done before?<\/b><br \/>\nThe saix.<br \/>\n<b>2. Did you keep your new years&#8217; resolutions, and will you make more for next year?<\/b><br \/>\nNo. That little survey disclaimer was a lie.<br \/>\n<b>3. Did anyone close to you give birth?<\/b><br \/>\nLulu from FFX. She looms on a wallscroll over my bed, so&#8230;<br \/>\n<b>4. Did anyone close to you die?<\/b><br \/>\nSince I stole this from Lily, I guess I&#8217;ll say that Yasmin, the dog across the street, died.<br \/>\n<b>5. What countries did you visit?<\/b><br \/>\nNone this year.<br \/>\n<b>6. What would you like to have in 2004 that you lacked in 2003?<\/b><br \/>\nA full-time job.<br \/>\n<b>7. What date from 2003 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?<\/b><br \/>\nProbably an outing with Sophie over the summer. We went all over the Bay Area. It was packed full of the funs. And Denny&#8217;s.<br \/>\n<b>8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?<\/b><br \/>\nGetting into UCSC&#8230; and probably making my <a HREF=\"http:\/\/www.jeffreyatw.com\/finalproject.html\">final project<\/a>.<br \/>\n<b>9. What was your biggest failure?<\/b><br \/>\nI guess getting kicked out of Jazz Choir can be seen as a failure. Although I still think I was the most musical of the entire group.<br \/>\n<b>10. Did you suffer illness or injury?<\/b><br \/>\nI&#8217;m a bit sick now, and I probably was sick over the last winter&#8230; but nope.<br \/>\n<b>11. What was the best thing you bought?<\/b><br \/>\nGas. It got me to some awesome places.<br \/>\n<b>12. Whose behaviour merited celebration?<\/b><br \/>\n<a HREF=\"http:\/\/www.yellow5.com\/pokey\">Pokey<\/a> always makes me go HOORJ.<br \/>\n<b>13. Whose behaviour made you appalled and depressed?<\/b><br \/>\nA few government officials.<br \/>\n<b>14. Where did most of your money go?<\/b><br \/>\nDDR and food&#8230; and then $550 on some guy&#8217;s slightly dented bumper.<br \/>\n<b>15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?<\/b><br \/>\nMoving into the UCSC dorms. Perhaps meeting my roommate. The latter certainly didn&#8217;t go well.<br \/>\n<b>16. What song will always remind you of 2003?<\/b><br \/>\nDeath Cab for Cutie &#8211; Photobooth. I liked it the whole year and am only now finally getting sick of it.<br \/>\n<b>17. Compared to this time last year, are you:<br \/>\ni. happier or sadder?<\/b> More emotional.<br \/>\n<b>ii. thinner or fatter?<\/b> Thinner than at the beginning, fatter than in the middle.<br \/>\n<b>iii. richer or poorer?<\/b> Poorer, fo shizzle.<br \/>\n<b>18. What do you wish you&#8217;d done more of?<\/b><br \/>\nSocializing.<br \/>\n<b>19. What do you wish you&#8217;d done less of?<\/b><br \/>\nAimlessly clicking the mouse button.<br \/>\n<b>20. How will you be spending Christmas?<\/b><br \/>\nSpent it with my fambly. I was asleep for most of the day, though.<br \/>\n<b>21. Did you fall in love in 2003?<\/b><br \/>\nYes.<br \/>\n<b>22. How many one-night stands?<\/b><br \/>\nOne, I think.<br \/>\n<b>23. What was your favourite TV program?<\/b><br \/>\nSouth Park, although I watched a total of one episode. Barely any TV was watched this year.<br \/>\n<b>24. Do you hate anyone now that you didn&#8217;t hate this time last year?<\/b><br \/>\nN\/A<br \/>\n<b>25. What was the best book you read?<\/b><br \/>\nAhahaha, I read Understanding Comics, again.<br \/>\n<b>26. What was your greatest musical discovery?<\/b><br \/>\nRadiohead. Yeah, I didn&#8217;t really know who they were.<br \/>\n<b>27. What did you want and get?<\/b><br \/>\nGood friends at UCSC.<br \/>\n<b>28. What did you want and not get?<\/b><br \/>\nA good roommate&#8230; although the current one is acceptable.<br \/>\n<b>29. What was your favourite film of this year?<\/b><br \/>\nThe Animatrix.<br \/>\n<b>30. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?<\/b><br \/>\nHad an awesome birthday party with a whole lot of friends. It was at Max&#8217;s as usual, but we also hung out and watched some movies. Can&#8217;t ask for much more than spending time with friends. I&#8217;m 18.<br \/>\n<b>31. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?<\/b><br \/>\nHaving a truly loving relationship&#8230; I think. There&#8217;d still be ups and downs to that. Not sure how much I want that at this point.<br \/>\n<b>32. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2003?<\/b><br \/>\nHand-me-downs and Christmas presents.<br \/>\n<b>33. What kept you sane?<\/b><br \/>\nDDR.<br \/>\n<b>34. Which celebrity\/public figure did you fancy the most?<\/b><br \/>\nKeira Knightley.<br \/>\n<b>35. What political issue stirred you the most?<\/b><br \/>\nDavis&#8217;s recall, Schwarzenegger&#8217;s election.<br \/>\n<b>36. Who did you miss?<\/b><br \/>\nMy relatives in the east coast, people that I haven&#8217;t yet seen since I came back for winter vacation, and already my friends at UCSC.<br \/>\n<b>37. Who was the best new person you met?<\/b><br \/>\nCan&#8217;t think of anyone in particular. A lot of people I met are awesome.<br \/>\n<b>38. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2003:<\/b><br \/>\nI realized that through so much emotional trauma in my group of friends, &#8220;don&#8217;t worry, be happy&#8221; is STILL the best quote to live by. I&#8217;ve gone by that quote for over a decade.<br \/>\n<b>39. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:<\/b><br \/>\nCome on, fhqhwgads. I see you jockin&#8217; me. Tryin&#8217; to act all like, U NO ME.<br \/>\nWell that wasn&#8217;t too awful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My new years resolution last year was to, like, never take LJ surveys.
