no lj-cuts for me, wo wo tonight.

1. What did you do in 2003 that you'd never done before? A lot of things; notably worked at a rock concert, went to a rock concert, moved out of Vancouver, started a blog, was the mature one in an argument with my brother.

2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year? I don't make New Year's resolutions. And anything I put in writing tends to fall through.

3. Did anyone close to you give birth? No.

4. Did anyone close to you die? Yes.

8. What was your biggest achievement of the year? Staying sane.

9. What was your biggest failure? Lost it for a bit.

23. How many one-night stands? None.

24. What was your favorite TV program? Don't care anymore.

25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year? Hating people is a waste of time and energy.

38. Who was the best new person you met? Can't say. Although I met most of my new gang in the beginning of first year, I spent this one getting to know them a lot better. If you want new new people, then I'd have to go with Tony, Quinn, and Collins/Costa.

39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2003? Change is inevitable.
