bellapalmeraI know I already did one, but I just realized that this one (which I stole from Cheryl) isn't the same as the one I already did. So there.
1. What did you do in 2005 that you'd never done before?
Ate Sushi, saw the same movie more than once in a movie theater
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I kept it in the sense that I didn't just slack off and not try... I resolved to read a book every month and I read about 7 books so that's good enough for me! For next year I guess to keep reading and to lose weight so I can fit into a certain outfit for Matt and Amanda's wedding in July. Not sure how much that would be, but any weight I can lose is good :)
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Yes, my cousin Jennie had a girl in June!
4. Did anyone close to you die?
My dad's godmother... at least I think that was 2005
5. What countries did you visit?
America
6. What would you like to have in 2006 that you lacked in 2005?
To be a better Christian, and a boyfriend wouldn't be so bad but that's not necessary either lol
7. What date from 2005 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
I can't pick one... sorry, kids.

I graduated college... hmm, I guess I could use that as my date from 2005 that I'll remember forever.
9. What was your biggest failure?
Not being as good of a friend to people as I could be... I think that I could hang out with "everyone else" a lot more.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
Ah, 2005 was the year when I had the boil on my rear end... that was an illness AND an injury!!!
11. What was the best thing you bought?
My new digital camera.
12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
I'm not answering this because I could name names all I want but the reasons behind it are too personal for LJ.
13. Whose behaviour made you appalled and depressed?
Wow, a lot of people...
14. Where did most of your money go?
Anything related to my new apartment.
