Refresh 

I just realised I’ve had this blog since ‘05. Not bad hey?
And three years passed… Just like that.

Has much changed? Hell yeah!

So, time to pull out an old quiz to see what goodies ‘07 brought:

1. What did you do in 2007 that you’d never done before?

I got a REAL job. Haha! Too many to say really, but highlights include going to uni, running around the courts, a nose piercing, passing out, failing and lots of naughty things, but these lips are sealed.

2. Did you keep your New Years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year?

The sad thing is, I think they’re the same every year. Get a good job with decent pay, get fit & eat right, spend more time with lovers & friends and take chances. But I guess I didn’t do too bad hehe.

3. Did anyone close to you give birth?

No one that close to me.

4. Did anyone close to you die?

Family.

5. What countries did you visit?

Nope, no time or money for that… Yet!

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

Better marks? I guess more time & money to travel away. Also, peace of mind.

7. What date from 2007 will remain etched upon your memory?

17th July, 2007. Happy One Year baby! ♥

8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?

Taking a step forward for a future career in the legal industry… I’ll decide what to do later. I hope.

9. What was your biggest failure?

Uni. Like holy crap.

10. Did you suffer illness or injury?

Nothing major, just hit by a massive migraine or two from work.

11. What was the best thing you bought?

Shoes, hotels & food! Nah, I’d say this macbook. It’s pretty sweet.

12. Whose behaviour merited celebration?

We all did okay. No one stuffed up too badly :) Or did they…?

13. Whose behaviour made you appalled and depressed?

Actually, myself. BAD ANA!

14. Where did most of your money go?

Savings *proud*

15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?

Sleep! Dude, it’s heavenly now.

16. What song/album will always remind you of 2007?

Music is my hot, hot sex. HAHA. I have no idea.

17. Compared to this time last year, are you:

a) Happier or sadder? Definitely happier. More content.

b) Thinner or fatter? A tiny bit more toned… Getting there!

c) Richer or poorer? I’m richer (But still on a measly salary)

18. What do you wish you’d done more of?

I wish I’d gone to more events and I’d gone skydiving like I’d planned to.

19. What do you wish you’d done less of?

Opened my mouth.

The English Patient (I actually don’t mind Ondaatje), The Time Traveller’s Wife (It’s different), Flowers In The Attic (It’s a disturbing idea) and Hans Christian Andersen’s stories. The Little Match Girl makes me tear up. So sad!

27. What was your greatest musical discovery?

Ana + piano + singing = work in progress. Haha! I wish. In terms of taste, someone’s got me into more trance & you can’t avoid house & electro, but hip hop, rnb & soul are still my true love.

28. What did you want and get?

All you need is love. Geez. I’ve mentioned it heaps, but a full-time job. Woohoo!

Our work is never over
