I am bored
So here you get this. I stole it from *Lienwyn and *Sjazna, I claim to be tagged by both because, uhm... I want a valid reason to do this.

1. What did you do in 2011 that you'd never done before?
Moved to a new part of Sweden. I've moved from one town to another before but never this far. Not that I notice much of a difference. Although I do kind of miss Borås an awful lot.


2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I don't do resolutions and I'm not gonna start either.


3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Not really. A former classmate of mine's, same classmate *Lienwyn spoke about, wife gave birth. That's about as close as I get I think.


4. Did anyone close to you die?
No, thank god.


5. What countries did you visit?
Hungary! Went to Budapest for fun followed by a visit at the Bobcatsss conference that was hosted in Szombathely in the beginning of the year.


6. What would you like to have in 2012 that you lacked in 2011?
Better hand with my money. I'm not bad but I wish I had a head for numbers and didn't think they were boring. I should probably start making money plans for each month.


7. What date from 2011 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
Uhm... June 1st. That's the date we had the graduation dinner from uni and the date I found out I got into creative writing school. Good day indeed.


8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Graduating! God, finishing that blasted essay is one of the biggest achievements of my life.


9. What was your biggest failure?
Not getting a job probably.


10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
I spent the first 6 months being sick. I got some kind of flu that just turned into a nasty cold that didn't want to go away.


11. What was the best thing you bought?
Hmmm, Heavy Rain probably. Or some movie. I did love that game though. I didn't buy anything of major importance really.


12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
I'm gonna say my stepdad's. He came to pick my things up in Borås and helped me clean the apartment and everything.


13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
Oh those kids... The ones telling my baby sister to go home and kill herself for being a scene kid. I'm absolutely disgusted with them.


14. Where did most of your money go?
Rent, food, video games and going to the movies with my friends most likely.


15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
Getting into creative writing school!


16. What song will always remind you of 2011?
Just like *Lienwyn and *Sjazna I'll have to say this...
Kansas - Carry On Wayward Son

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

i. Happier?
Definitely. Routine makes my life so much easier to live because I don't have time to overthink things.


ii. Thinner or fatter?
My guess is same to fatter.


iii. richer or poorer?
Poorer.


18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
Kicked myself in the butt and forced myself to do things that could have been fun.


19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Worried about things.


20. How will you be spending Christmas?
I spent it with family and it was awesome!


21. Did you fall in love in 2011?
Don't think so. The random infatuation for a short while but I wouldn't say in love. I tend to fall for people left and right so that doesn't count anymore


22. How many one-night stands?
Well... what do we say about that one time *Lienwyn?


23. What was your favorite TV program?
MERLIN! and SUPERNATURAL! and Merlin and Supernatural and Merlin and and and and a little bit of Big Bang Theory as well.


24. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
I don't believe in hating people. I strongly dislike some but so far I don't hate.


25. What was the best book you read?
Uuuuhm. Maybe the entire Black Dagger Brotherhood series? It's not a masterpiece but it sure as hell kept me entertained.


26. What was your greatest musical discovery?
Music discovery?
Uhm...
Uuuuhm...
I do not want to say Gay Pirates by Cosmo Jarvis too but the fact is that it's the song with most plays in my Winamp so it probably is true. That and the soundtrack for Dragon Age: Origins. Some of those songs? Beautiful.


27. What did you want and got?
Another Disney classic! Robin Hood this time


28. What did you want and did not get?
Hmm, more video games since mum doesn't understand them. I really wanted L.A. Noire (what's up with that e btw?)


29. What was your favorite film of this year?
Uhm. Good question. I was most excited about Harry Potter DH: Part 2. But Black Swan was also amazing. And Tangled.


30. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
22. And I spent it packing up my apartment into boxes. And then I went to have tea with the wonderful Paula, ~dcasteye and ~Madiirje


31. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
I am too content with my 2011 to think of anything.
Except... Maybe dad being able to see me graduate from uni and reach a mile stone from when I was 13.


32. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2011?
What's up with the dresses? How did I end up liking them?


33. What kept you sane?
Most of the time it honestly was *Lienwyn. How many times have I mentioned her now? Did anyone count? Either way she's an expert at talking me down when I get to near hysteria about things. I don't handle stress very well.


<b<34. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?</b>
CILLIAN MURPHY!
OMG!
He makes me a bad lesbian! He's my accidentally straight.
Or you know, I probably wouldn't do him but I'd at least consider it which is more than I'd do with any other guy. Him and Colin Morgan.


35. What political issue stirred you the most?
Russia taking 500 steps backwards by banning gay behaviour or what it was. Pissed me off it did.


36. Who did you miss?
Dad


37. Who was/were the best new person(s) you met?
Probably *Sjazna. Who knew we'd have so much fun together? She's my favourite tango partner.


38. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2011?
If I just go ahead and do it calling maybe isn't so bad. Possibly...


39. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.
Uhhhm. I have no idea...

Tomorrow's getting harder, make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky, gotta make your own breaks
