Rock on gold dust woman...

It's been awhile.

1. What did you do in 2007 that you'd never done before?
Moved in with a boy.

2. Did you keep your new year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
Last year, I wrote that I wanted to take better care of myself and eat better. I think I've actually been more sickly and unhealthy this year than ever, so i guess that I failed at that one. This year, I have no idea. I never keep any resolutions anyway.

3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
No, but I do know a lot of pregnant folk at the moment.

Yes. It was weird to go to a funeral for somebody my own age.

5. What countries did you visit?
None.

6. What would you like to have in 2008 that you lacked in 2007?
