| | Stella was a diver and she was always down | ] | Oh my CRAPS, it’s 2008! What happened to 2007? I don’t know but it makes my head hurt to think about it, so I will just go over a bit of what happened in 2007.
1.What did you do in 2007 that you'd never done before? *I rode a mechanical bull!
 *I hit up Jumbo’s Clown Room in Hollywood with my sister and some friends. It was...um.... *Was the (co-)maid of honor at my sister’s awesome wedding in Vegas – I had my hair and nails did, I got a spray tan, I wrote a speech that included both “zombie” and “CSI”, I won $200, it was a good day. (there’s an album full o’ pictographs viewable at my myspace page: here) *I got pulled over (for expired tags). *I went to the Pinball Hall of Fame!! Wooyeah!!!! *I signed up for and became madly addicted to Kingdom of Loathing
 *I attended my very first KoLCon *I travelled to Victorville to date my internet buddy which sparked a brief but excellent Vegas/Ventura long-distance relationship. *I finally found out what eating at a Ruby Tuesday’s is like. *I participated in two Guitar Hero tournaments, one held by my sister for birthday celebrations and then one for real real at KolCon. I lost both, but funtimes were had, so it’s all good.
 *I met and saw MC Frontalot live in concert. Step and possess! Hone Thy Geekishness!
 *I got a traffic ticket, complete with the traffic school BS. *I broke my Galaga record! 147,620 points YAYES!
 *I got in touch with my Clive Owen mania and joined a Clive Owen community on livejournal. Devoted to pics and icons. *I became obsessed with Burn Notice. and this summer seems like too long to wait for the new season, it’s keeling me! *I saw Penn & Teller live. *I saw Michael Ian Black and Michael Showalter live. *I read every single Harry Potter book. *I became totally nuts for Doug Benson and downloaded all of his I Love Movies podcasts. *I met Turing. Seriously? Everybody needs to add this to their “Bucket List”.
 *Saw MUSE which I’ve done before but this time was with my sister, so it’s different, OK?
 * I got a roommate who is almost twice my age. *I bought Yoga Booty Ballet, Hip Hop Abs and Cardio Caberet when I clicked off of vh1 for thirty seconds. *I turned 25. *I rode all of the newer scaryass rides at Magic Mountain. *Some hardcore bicyclist took my sideview mirror clean off. *I put 5,000 MORE miles onto my car this year than I put on it in any average ol' year. *I formed a 24 hour crush on Michael Cera.
 *I invented rootbeer donuts.
There were plenty plenty more "firsts" this year but I think this list is good enough.
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year? I never typically make them because no year ever turns out the way I expect it to. I prefer to roll with whatever the new year has in store for me.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth? Not that I can recall...
4. Did anyone close to you die? I can’t really remember. If you died and I forgot you, I’m sorry, please don’t haunt me kthxbai.
5. What countries did you visit? I stayed in this one, but I did quite a bit of interstate travelling: Nevada, Utah, Arizona, California, it was a little nuts.
6. What would you like to have in 2008 that you lacked in 2007? everyone always says money, but I’m going to have to agree with them.
7. What date from 2007 will remain etched upon your memory? In psuedo-chronological order: 1) My sister Toria and Brian getting married (Cinqo de Mayo!) 2) My first date with Bucho 3) My birthday celebrations 3) The “boardie meet” in Vegas 4) KolCon IV trip 4) All the Vegas shows and goodtimes 5) The day my room was cleaned 6) Bucho’s birthday 7) Disneyland 8) All the holidays and why? Why not?
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year? Getting through the year with realtively few traumas, it might not sound like it but it was an adventurous year with lots of risks and madness.
9. What was your biggest failure? I don’t want to whine about it too much, I just wished my romantic relationship this year would have lasted much longer.

10. Did you suffer illness or injury? I suffered stomach flu-ness near the end of the year, but not so much of the throaty problems like in 2006. And no real injuries that I can think of *thumbs up*
11. What was the best thing you bought? Time in Vegas. And rent, cos, like, I like having a place to live.
12. Whose behavior merited celebration? Pretty much everyone I got to be around this year. Go you!
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed? No one more than the usual headaches. ...Perhaps I blocked out anyone else, which is nice of me.
14. Where did most of your money go? That's what I want to know! Rent, Car, Food, Gas...
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about? I was excited for a good portion of the year for pretty much all of the cool things listed in the first question, but I got stoked everytime I got to go see my boyfriend at the time. It usually meant cooltimes were afoot whether I travelled out there or he came here.
16. What song will always remind you of 2007? “It Is Pitch Dark” by MC Frontalot, “Celebration” by Kanye West. Ell oh ell.
17. Compared to this time last year, are you: i. happier or sadder? I ended the year in a fairly good mood, so I'm going to go with happier ii. thinner or fatter? Fattar! By about 20 pounds. Seriously. iii. richer or poorer? Poorer. Definitely. Yes. Although I make more money now than I ever have, I still live paycheck to paycheck. But I have few regrets.
18. What do you wish you'd done more of? I never think I do enough or see enough.
19. What do you wish you'd done less of? Fretting.
20. How did you spend Christmas? I spent the Friday before Christmas with my friends Krispen and Juicetown and their neighbors, I then went out to Lancaster to spend Christmas Eve with my folks, chill out and watch movies, look at lights, get our KoL on. Then Toria, Brian, my niece Mary and their dog Chewy came out to spend Christmas Day with us. Goodtimes were had.
22. Did you fall in love in 2007? I did fall in love, actually. Quite kooky, that stuff.
23. How many one-night stands? None-night stands? I had a boyfriend, so it’s all good.
24. What was your favorite TV program? BURN NOTICE, and I watched a lot of vh1. A lot.
25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year? Nope, I hate the same person for the same reasons. Easy peasy.
26. What was the best book you read? World War Z by Max Brooks, that book was way rad. It was awesome reading all the Harry Potter books and finally catching up, but I can’t really choose one favorite at the moment.
27. What was your greatest musical discovery? I am constantly discovering new music (and old music), there’s so much to go over and I don’t have a list prepared. I did move on from a band I was very attached to for over 14 years, adopted Interpol as my new favorite and got ridiculously into MC Frontalot this year, but it doesn’t stop there.
28. What did you want and get? I got so many sweet ass things this year - I obtained a boyfriend, a brother, toast in pvp to finally get that trophy in KoL, a pea coat, the shows I went to, the games I won, the food, the movies, I got a lot that I wanted.
30. What was your favorite film of this year? Live Free or Die Hard. Just kidding, that movie was awful. I saw a lot of great movies this year – I particularly enjoyed: Superbad, Zodiac, No Country for Old Men, Grindhouse (Deathproof has such a satisfying ending), Ocean's 13. Shoot ‘Em Up was just so amazing and unbelievable. Even though Grandma’s Boy came out in ’06, I saw it at a friend’s house this year and it changed my life. Basically.
31. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you? I turned 25 years ol'. During the day I celebrated with my niece and family, a bounce castle was involved, that was pretty neat stuff. Then I had a Guitar Hero tournament at my sister’s and a guitar piñata (although we really should have used the crowbar on that thing because we ended up breaking my sister’s toilet plunger). Then the next morning I was told we were headed to an Avocado Festival hosted by Wil Wheaton, but that’s not real so my sister and I spent the day at Magic Mountain instead. It was glorious.
32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying? Less money stress and more romance.
33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2007? Jeans. Tshirts. Black. Pretty much the same as every year.
34. What kept you sane? It’s too late for me.
35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most? Same as it ever was
However, Clive Owen was attempting competition and laid down the distraction skillz.

36. What political issue stirred you the most? I became more politically detached this year to be honest. Not to say nothing bothered me, just nothing stands out significantly.
37. Who did you miss? I miss teh booch.
38. Who were the best new people you met? I met some pretty groovy people this year. Bucho and Richard stand out as the coolerest. Also, Dusty is pretty rad.
39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2007: Enjoy the goodtimes because the universe will inevitably seek balance.
40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
Well we knoooww where were goin' But we don't know where we've been And we knooowww what we're knowin' But we can't say what we've seeeeen And we're not little children And we know what we waaaant And the future is certain Give us time to work it ouuuttt Yeah
We're on a road to nowhere Come on inside Takin' that ride to nowhere We'll take that ride
I'm feelin' okay this mornin' And you know, We're on the road to paradise Here we go, here we go
Maybe you wonder where you are I don't care Here is where time is on our side Take you there, take you there
We're on a road to nowhere We're on a road to nowhere We're on a road to nowhere
There's a city in my mind Come along and take that ride And it's all right, baby, it's all right
And it's very far away But it's growing day by day And it's all right, baby, it's all right
They can tell you what to do But they'll make a fool of you And its all right, baby, its all right
We're on a road to nowhere |
