2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
Do I ever keep my new years resolutions? Bah. If I even remember what they are. I will make only one for next year. It's the only thing I want. And I will get it. Oh, and one more- write more real blogs and less tags/surveys.

The good ol' USA.
6. What would you like to have in 2009 that you lacked in 2008?
More love for people, more kindness and less bitchiness (sorry for the language, but it just had to be said). The capacity to forgive and the capacity for self-control. To see the big picture of things and let the little, unimportant things go.
7. What date from 2008 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
Watching Michael Phelps. Ye-hah, that was fun!

12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
My brother; he is serving a mission in Me-hee-co. My sister; she graduated from school and got engaged. Congrats! My younger sister; who was the lead in her play, got sterling scholar, and is pretty much the perfect person. I guess all my family! They are all awesome.
13. Whose behaviour made you appalled and depressed?
no comment.

Student loans and car payments.

16. What song will always remind you of 2008?
"Too Late to Apologize"
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
i. happier or sadder? yep.
ii. thinner or fatter? hahah! fatter!
iii. richer or poorer? less in debt, but also with less spendable money. So it depends on how you look at it, I guess.
18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
Doing nature type stuff, getting in touch with my earthy side. Spending time with my friends.

What? No thanks.
24. What was your favourite TV program?
On Demand- Free Movies.
25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
Hate is such a terrible, nauseating emotion.
26. What was the best book you read?
The Book of Mormon (a cliched answer perhaps, but so very true)

Hooker Boots, a car, knowing myself better than before.
29. What did you want and not get?
A digital camera, haha, but that can easily be gotten.
30. Favorite film of this year?
Wall*E was absolutely adorable and one of my favorites of all time, not just for the year. Hancock was totally entertaining. I liked Benjamin Button quite a bit, and I loved the it created so much post-viewing discussion. I haven't discussed a movie that much since The Prestige. I also really liked Black Knight, but feel kind of weird about liking it, because of it's disturbing circumstances.
31. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?

Baby T. Technically, haven't met him yet. And... I am biased in his favor anyway.
