None, sadly.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Not blowing up as much as I used to, learning how to write about architecture [students], passing my classes, however dishonorably.

Everyone's, especially mine. Sometimes I think about the things I've done and I hate myself for it....

Studio and the sorority (I bet I spent more than you this semester!!)

Exercising, adventuring, going outside of my comfort zone (like, really outside), tagging, sleeping, reading, writing, loving

At my grandma's in Lake Elsinore, with my family.

Damnit, I was supposed to have taken this days ago. Well, I...went to Anaheim and lunched with my family.

Yes (albeit not the 'right' kind of love, nor the kind of love people love to talk about)
23. How many one-night stands?
24. What was your favorite TV program?
The Office
25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
Maybe. But 'hate' is a strong word. I think 'strongly, strongly dislike' is a more apt term.

The Confessions of Max Tivoli.
27. What was your greatest musical discovery?
Pandora dot com. Oh wait, that was this year.

To get over certain phony people. Oh wait, that was 2006, never mind.... I got a lot of things this year I wanted.

I wanted better grades, honestly. Way better grades. I also wanted other things, of course....
30. What was your favorite film of this year?
Ratatouille.
31. What did you do on your birthday?
I don't remember. I flew back up north that day. I got nice gifts, but I don't think any of them were given to me on my birthday exactly...oh wait, two of them were! My family took me to In-N-Out (I know you're jealous. I would be). My roommate baked for me.
32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
One hit rather than the usual miss. Just one hit.
33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2007?
I bought a lot of clothes. I would rather not discuss this because the amount of money I spend on clothing depresses me.
34. What kept you sane?
My family, my roommates, people in studio
35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
No one, at least not in comparison to the non-celebrity I fancied the most.

37. Who did you miss?
Too many people

CH, SK, KT, & others
