What did you do in 2004 that you&#8217;d never done before?<\/b><br \/>\nGot real jobs.<br \/>\n<b>2. Did you keep your new years&#8217; resolutions, and will you make more for next year?<\/b><br \/>\nI don&#8217;t think I had any. I think I&#8217;ll make a resolution next year to get a girlfriend.

Probably my IIDX controller.<br \/>\n<b>12. Whose behaviour merited celebration?<\/b><br \/>\nWent to New York to, well, not really &#8220;celebrate&#8221; with my cousin who got cancer, but of course he was in high spirits and quite the &#8220;trooper&#8221; as it were, so that&#8217;s worth celebrating.<br \/>\n<b>13.

How will you be spending Christmas?<\/b><br \/>\nSpent it with my family, like usual. Had dinner with family friends.<br \/>\n<b>21. Did you fall in love in 2004?<\/b><br \/>\nNo.<br \/>\n<b>22.

What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?<\/b><br \/>\nLast year I wrote: &#8220;Had 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.&#8221; Ditto for this year, only on New Year&#8217;s Eve. \ud83d\ude00<br \/>\n<b>31.

Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2004:<\/b><br \/>\nEven though drama might be stupid, compassion is important and no one really likes it when I act like an asshole. ;D<br \/>\n<b>39. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:<\/b><br \/>\nIt&#8217;s hard to quote a TaQ song without sounding retarded so I guess I&#8217;ll quote all the TaQ songs and be retarded: &#8220;THE MOST DIFFICULT THING I&#8217;VE EVER TRIED TO DO IS TO CLEAR THE MIND OH THIS IS BAD THIS IS FUCKED UP JUST DISTURBED GUYS.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s a meme I took a year ago.
