sleepy time
I'm staying up to call M before he goes to work -- it's cheaper than during the day -- damn six hour time difference.
Anyways, I came across this on a random blog hop and thought it was fun -- perhaps other's will care to share? (As an interesting grad note nerd note, it would be interesting to chart answer's based on the mood the person took the quiz in)
Have fun:
1. What did you do in 2005 that youd never done before?
Got a manicure:) and on the last day of the year to boot!
2. Did you keep your New Years resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I don't remember making a resolution and if I did, I'm sure I failed them...
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Actually it was the year of the births: Juan and Renae, Teri and Chris and Nathan and Kristin -- said in order of birth...
4. Did anyone close to you die?
My grams but she was 96.
5. What countries did you visit?
USA, England (?), Denmark, Latvia, Italy (and France if you count a visit to the airport!)

The dude off of Teachers (both the Teacher and the boy), Vernon Kay, various Indie Rockers...

I need to stop being a Libra and start doing things for myself not for others.
40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
Either:
Happy endings, they still don't bore me
But they, they have a way
They have a way to make you pay
And to make you toe the line
Sever the ties
Because I'm so clever
But clever ain't wise
Fuck forever
If you don't mind
Oh fuck forever?
(Babyshambles, Fuck Forever)
OR:
And when I saw you there it was the first time
And you just walked on by
I was catching the sparks that flew from your heels
And trying to catch your eye
But that was
somewhere else
somewhere else
somewhere else
I really really wish I could be
somewhere else
somewhere else
somewhere else
(Razorlight, Somewhere Else).
