End of Year Meme December 23, 2008

Snagged as usual from Sassenach:

What did you do in 2008 that you’d never done before? Ummm… I planned a short, but very spontaneous trip to Georgia and South Carolina and funded it all by myself.  Usually my trips are planned well in advance and paid for by the parents or gps.  Um, I also cooked last week.  I can bake, but I’m terrified of cooking meat and giving people food poisoning so I’ve never really cooked.

Did you keep your new years’ resolutions and will you make more for next year? I had a billion resolutions last year (well 10 actually).  Some were more successful than others, but in the end I’m probably just the same as last year.  This year the only resolution I am making is to save my money.

Did anyone close to you give birth? Um, my boss’s wife and a co-worker.

Did anyone close to you die? Yes, although I hadn’t seen her in about 12 years.

What countries did you visit? Only my own.

What would you like to have in 2009 that you lacked in 2008? A boyfriend.  Maybe.  A better job.  Some money would be nice too.

What date from 2008 will remain etched upon your memory, and why? Hmmm… good question.  November 21 (Twilight), Election Day, a particularly fun night in March, the day I got into Clemson

What was your biggest achievement of the year? Getting into Clemson, even if I didn’t end up going there.  It’s a great school and I really didn’t think I would get in.

What was your biggest failure? Not doing better in my classes.

Did you suffer illness or injury? Root canal just last week.  A nasty bout of the flu a couple of weeks ago.  I’m sure I’ve had bad colds and stuff before too.  I’m always sick.

What was the best thing you bought? No idea.  OH!  I GOT IT!  My tattoo!

Whose behavior merited celebration? My mom’s.  It’s been an awful year and she’s kept this family together pretty damn well despite all the stress.

Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed? Politics bullshit I guess.

Where did most of your money go? Bills: school loans and car stuff.

What did you get really, really, really excited about? Twilight.  Going back to school (although that fizzled quite a bit)

What song will always remind you of 2008? anything from the Twilight soundtrack, cause I am that lame

Compared to this time last year, are you:
i. happier or sadder? not gonna lie, I always get sad this time of year, so just as sad, if not a little sadder
ii. thinner or fatter? a teensy bit less
iii. richer or poorer? much poorer

What do you wish you’d done more of? gone to class, read, knit

What do you wish you’d done less of? stress, work

How will you be spending Christmas? With the fam

Did you fall in love? Pffft.

What was your favourite TV program? I got wicked into Doctor Who this year.

Do you hate anyone now that you didn’t hate this time last year? I don’t think so, although it was a bad day at work so I could be mean and say my head teller, but I don’t really hate her.

What was the best book you read? Hmm, I’ve read a lot this year: Twilight, His Dark Materials, a couple of Austen novels I hadn’t read before.  Best would have to be Persuasion by Jane Austen

What was your greatest musical discovery? Ok, most of them are from the Twilight soundtrack or my Plurk penpal Jassy: Muse, The Lucksmiths, Los Campesinos, Stealing Jane, A Fine Frenzy, Iron & Wine

What did you want and get? To get into Clemson

What did you want and not get? To go to Clemson

What was your favorite film of this year? Do I really need to say it?!  Twilight, obviously.  Although, there were plenty of good ones out this year: Dark Knight, Iron Man, Mamma Mia, etc

What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you? I turned 22 and I went out with Ashley and Christine to Acapulco’s for margaritas and beer!

What one thing would have made your year immeasurably satisfying? For my dad to have found a job and we didn’t have to worry about how the mortgage would get paid this month.  A boyfriend would have helped a bit too.

How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2008? running with Sassenach’s “comfortable”

What kept you sane? knitting and reading mystery novels or vampire books or vampire mysteries

Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most? hehe… RPattz, no question.  David Tennant too.

What political issue stirred you the most? Obama winning the election

Who did you miss? Rachel from RWU who I only got to see a couple of times this year.  My family in Georgia and Florida.  And Ashley.

Who was the best new person you met? At the moment, my brother’s girlfriend.  I don’t know if she’s the best of the whole year, but she’s pretty cool.

Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2008: errr… don’t take Psych classes if you’re in a particularly low mood.

Quote a song lyric that sums up your year: How about I come back to this one, eh?

10. “I wish you could understand why I am the way I am.” to almost everyone.

2. I’ve been practicing meditation everyday for about a week now.
3. I love yoga.

Two Things You Want to Do Before You Die:

One Confession:

I push people away because its easier than being nice and there’s less risk of getting hurt, but now I regret having a reputation for being bitter, angry and antisocial. I wish people could recognize me for the nice person I can be instead of constantly thinking about what a bitch I am. And lately, I’ve been trying so hard to do exactly that, show them that I can be a good person and then I have one bad moment, not even day, and I see the eyes roll and the murmers: “Watch out, Jamie’s in another one of her moods.” And then the cynical jerk in me asks “Why even bother?”

a quick one March 30, 2008

You Have a Melancholic Temperament

Introspective and reflective, you think about everything and anything. You are a soft-hearted daydreamer. You long for your ideal life. You love silence and solitude. Everyday life is usually too chaotic for you.Given enough time alone, it’s easy for you to find inner peace. You tend to be spiritual, having found your own meaning of life. Wise and patient, you can help people through difficult times. At your worst, you brood and sulk. Your negative thoughts can trap you. You are reserved and withdrawn. This makes it hard to connect to others. You tend to over think small things, making decisions difficult.

What Temperment Are You?

bored on a Saturday night March 30, 2008

1. Go to Flickr (was photobucket, but I don’t use that).
   
2. Answer the questions below.
3. Type your answers into the Photobucket search box.
4. Use only the first page of results to choose your picture.
5. Insert the questions and pictures into your blog.

Like this:

Who is your favorite band or artist?

John Mayer! I haven’t listened to him in forever, but today’s he’s been coming up on shuffle tons and I forget how much I love him!

Way more under the cut…

movie quote meme March 24, 2008

Snagged from Sassenach (again!).

The rules:

1. Pick 10 of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie (or get them out of your capacious memory).
3. Post them on your blog for everyone to guess.
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
5. Looking them up is cheating, please don’t.

The quotes:

1. “I guess that makes you the damsel in distress, huh, handsome?” from Enchanted, guessed correctly by Kemi
2. “No, Roland… I crashed my van into Jesus! Okay? I have a pimple the size of Jupiter! I am NOT okay! This is not how I wanted to remember my Prom. This is not how I wanted to remember my life.” from Saved, guessed right by Sassenach.
3. “Well, what would you prefer? Yellow spandex?” Probably my favorite line from the movie!!
4. “I’ve never been alone with a man before, even with my dress on. With my dress off, it’s MOST unusual.”
5. “Okay, you know what, you’re right. I’m strangely attracted to exhibitionist runaways. It’s an addiction, really. I was in a program for a while where we had to spend time with fully-clothed home-bodies, but I’ve relapsed, again.”
6. “Now you’re looking for the secret… but you won’t find it because you’re not really looking. You don’t really want to know the secret… You want to be fooled.” from The Prestige (such a good movie!) gotten right by Kemi also!
7. “I don’t want to talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.” This is an easy one! Monty Python and the Holy Grail, guessed right by Bullmonty.
8. “How come when I wanted to ask Eunice out everyone made fun of me, but then Sebastian likes her and suddenly she’s cool? Screw you guys. I hate high school.”
9. “Aww. The bounce has gone from his bungee.” Two possible answers.
10. “It should take you exactly four seconds to cross from here to that door. I’ll give you two.” from Breakfast at Tiffany’s, guessed correctly also by Sassenach!

Have fun!
