1. What did you do in 2006 that you've never done before?
Havint a real, full-time, salaried job that resembles a 'career'.
Mastering something that I knew nothing about and was hired to do (studio production) from scratch and becoming good at it.
Seeing a live hockey game.
Not seeing my parents for almost a year (it was about 11.5 months).
2. Did you keep your New Year's resolutions, and will you make more for this year?
No. new year resolutions are lame. funnily enough though, I always secretly have some resolutions whenever I come back from going away temporarily.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
no
4. Did anyone close to you die?
No
5. What countries did you visit?
France and hated it. One can be hard pressed to find a more self-delusioning people than the French. They like to point the finger at the US while they truly have one fucked-up country themselves.
6. What would you like to have in 2007 that you lacked in 2006?
More friends to hang out with. seeing your friends move away, not making new ones, and not seeing good chance to make new ones suck.
More savings.
More time with the family.
7. What dates from 2006 will remain etched in your memory, and why?
the day i was offered my current job. it was right after the day when i was desolate and sent out various desperate e-mails to old professors (and even meeting one in person) begging for work. strangely i never gathered the courage to tell them that actually I found a job right afterwards though.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
god knows, not being fired from my job? heh.
9. What was your biggest failure?
not being very smart money-wise. not being proactive enough in creating chances to make friends.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
yeah, a surgery.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
haha i don't know if i strictly "bought" my cat, but i did pay for around $120 to take her home from the SPCA.
12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
Christopher for his infinite patience
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
at this very moment i would like to name the crazy woman living next door.
14. Where did most of your money go?
clothes, chinese and korean food, alcohol (it's so sad, i mostly just drink at home and force my cat to smell it), furniture
15. What did you get really, really excited about?
probably not super super stoked, but going to Vancouver for the production trip was pretty exciting.
17. Compared to last year, are you happier or sadder?
It's difficult to generalize this way. I guess I'm more content material-wise and not having to feel guilty about not holding gainful employment anymore, but damn it I miss having a social life and not having to get up at 6am and going to bed at 10pm every day.
18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
seeing more bands, doing more volunteer, taking more classes, in general doing more than just going to work and coming home.
19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
purchasing alcohol and drinking at home. it's pointless, really.
20. How will you be spending Christmas?
I spent it alone. Christmas eve with the boy having horrible, Montreal-quality hot pot in chinatown.
23. What was your favorite TV Program?
several spring to mind: the Office (US and UK), 30 Rock, the west wing, and dorkily, CBC News at Six
25. What was the best book you read?
several and they're all superb. "Heat" by Bill Buford, and the two 'comedy of manners': "emporor's children" by clair mossaud and "the line of beauty" by Allan H-something something
26. What was your greatest musical discovery?
hmm, several: jill barber, many great soul songs from the 60's, malajube, islands
27. What did you want and get?
an espresso machine!! yay.
28. What was your favorite film this year?
Sophie Scholl: the last days
little miss sunshine
science of sleep
are among the most memorable
29. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
I ate at sala rossa with some friends. i was 25.
30. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
same answer as last year: people whose company i enjoy?
also, being more challenged at work, being more socially apt/deft
31. What political issue stirred you the most?
I'm politically apathetic. ;)
32. Who did you miss?
my parents
33. Who was the best new person you met?
ginette, some people at work although not that many of them
