This is a survey I did at this time last year. My answers from last year are in parenthesis and italics.


"What For 2006

All answers pertain to the year 2006

What is your favorite tv show? Hmm.... Gilmore Girls, One Tree Hill (I'm addicted), Veronica Mars, The OC, Reunion, ER, Desperate Housewives, and Greys Anatomy
(I have to say I didn't start watching any new shows for 2004. I guess except Laguna Beach. A guilty pleasure, hehe)

What is your favorite movie? From this year... The 4th Harry Potter, Elizabethtown, and War of the Worlds
(My fav 2004 movie, huh? Harry Potter baby!)

What reality show couldn't you live without? Real World, most definitely, even though I missed the end of this season. Oh and I LOVE Extreme Makeover Home Edition, it makes me cry!
(The topper for me is always Real World)

What was your biggest accomplishment this year? Hmmm.... getting over Rich
(Being accepted to River Falls and adjusting so well to my new life in RF)

What is your biggest regret for this year? Thinking that Kassi was a real friend to me and not seeing her for who she really is until it was too late
(Continuing to go after Rich despite how horrible he's treated me. Breaking hearts because of him, letting my own heart break because of him.... living too much in the past and not enough in the present)

What one thing would you have done differently? Spent less time crying over Rich and more time cuddling up to Dustin
(Spent more time with my friends)

What was your best day? There were a few great days.... ValleyFair, the weekends at my parents' (I know, who would have guessed I'd like spending the weekend with my folks????), my birthday
(Hmm... probably the night Doug came to Woodbury. A few of us (I can't even remember who... Amber, James... was anyone else there) went to Target and bought glow sticks. We were so hyper that night and had so much fun. I definitely need more fun, silly nights and days like that)

What was the most memorable book you read this year? Hmmm.... I reread some greats. I really like In Her Shoes. And, of course, the 6th Harry Potter
(DaVinci Code. That or We Need To Talk About Kevin)

What didn't you get to do this year, that you wish you could have? Hmmm.... I don't know, actually. It was a pretty good year for doing the things I wanted to do
(I really wish I would have done more than just work and my photography class this summer. I wanted to go to ValleyFair and to the cabin more... maybe get a tan!)

What is the biggest change in you or your life over the past year? Getting over Rich was HUGE for me, as was finding such a great love in Dustin. I lost someone I thought was a friend and realized that some people don't have good in them no matter how deep down you dig. I found out that I need to do things that make ME happy even if it means disappointing others and going against the norm.
(I think I've learned a lot. I now think I know what I REALLY want in a man and I learned how to not take my friends for granted. I'm learning how to live on my own and deal with everything. I'm learning to be happy.)

I Hope For 2006

Hmm.... what do I hope for 2006. I hope I can mend some broken relationships.... maybe not have them the way they used to be but morphing them into something healthier and happier. I really hope I can finally graduate and figure out what on earth on was to do workwise. I hope that Dustin and I continue on the path we're walking down and continue to love each other more and more every day. I hope my friends find every happiness that they deserve and I hope that come this time next year my Grandma's still around.
(I hope the new year will bring? I hope the new year will bring a lot more self discovery. I want to be able to spend a lot more time with my friends and to stop being so lazy when it comes to school. I want to work hard and save my money. I'd love to find someone to love and am hopeful that the person I really adore right now will be the one I love. I hope I can stay strong in the decisions I've made about Rich and with my diet, hehe.)

Fill in the blanks.

I hope? I will find so much happiness and goodness (I will be the happiest I've been)
I hope? That I will continue down the path of learning how to trust, to love, and to make good decisions (I become even closer with my wonderful friends)
I hope? I can learn to live for the moment (I can learn to trust and love)
I hope? I can start writing again (I can start writing again)
I hope? I can enjoy being young while I am young (I can learn to stop living so much in the past)
I hope? Life can slow down A LOT (Life can slow down a little)
