labellementeuseI am such a loser, all I do with my life is post memes (because I can stop half-way through and come back.)
2004 Meme:
1. What did you do in 2004 that you'd never done before?
Got really, really drunk.
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I can't remember. I don't think I made any. I plan on one or two this year though, probably won't keep them.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
No.
4. Did anyone close to you die?
No.
5. What countries did you visit?
America! NYC and Washington. Australia! Sydney.
6. What would you like to have in 2005 that you lacked in 2004?
Money. Sex. An 18+ card. Books. A library card. Independance. My own computer or laptop.
7. What date from 2004 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
22 July. I had the best birthday I ever had. And 8 December, the day I left school forever.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
I didn't really have one.
9. What was your biggest failure?
Not having an achievement. Also not studying for my end of years- I let myself down as I'm sure my marks will demonstrate.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
Nope, but I did have surgery. :)
11. What was the best thing you bought?
:-/ I don't think I bought anything lasting. A lot of chocolate, though.
12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
No-ones I can think of, I must confess.
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
Half of America. The Destiny Church. <--- Aaron says it all for me! Along with Shosh and Tarren, who I don't care about, and Claire, who I do. :( Quitting school two weeks before your exams is not a good thing to do.
14. Where did most of your money go?
Chocolate. No contest. Second-biggest drain, internet cafes.
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
The Civil Union Bill!
16. What song will always remind you of 2004?
REM's Bad Day
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
i. happier or sadder?
I think sadder, but I probably should be happier, as I'm out of school, nearly away from home, I have a job, I've done fairly well... I don't know, maybe it's just not a happy month, but I keep thinking about my exams, and my marks, and by the by Debbie's straight, and... meh. I don't know.
ii. thinner or fatter?
Fatter. Woe.
iii.richer or poorer?
richer, just, because I have a job. Woo! But don't ask me after christmas.
18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
Studying. Writing. Um. Sleeping. Reading.
19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Procrastinating about studying, eating chocolate, not sleeping. Reading trashy books instead of good ones.
20. How will you be spending Christmas?
With my family on Christmas Day, with my friends this coming Sunday, by myself between Christmas and New Years.
22. Did you fall in love in 2004?
... only a REALLY LITTLE BIT. Unreciprocated.
23. How many one-night stands?
Um.
24. What was your favourite TV program?
Ahahahah. Um. Angels in America and CSI:Miami.
25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
Ah... no? Actually, I think I like people more, namely Francesca who was totally randomly reall nice to me for all of term 4.
26. What was the best book you read?
Um. Ah. I read mostly crap all year, unfortuantely. But Going Postal was awesome, although it didn't chage my life or anything.
27. What was your greatest musical discovery?
Belle and Sebastian.
28. What did you want and get?
Not a lot, really. Chocolate. Love.
30. What was your favorite film of this year?
No idea. Oh, yeah, this really random film I can't remember the title of, some Australian thing I got out from the video store. It was really good, about two university couples- actually it's about four friends, I guess, or people who become friends by the end of the film, a lesbian couple and a straight couple. I jsut liked it because it didn't make a fuss about anything, it just was, which may be the best treatment of homosexuality possible.
31. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
I was seventeen, and i went to school and got given lots of chocolate and cakes and cards by my study class, who i <3 to death. *sobs all over them*
32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
Getting Senior Scholar, I guess.
33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2004?
I LOVE MY JEANS OMG. (*cries* they're falling apart. Who's going to get me nice blue Max jeans for christmas? Tell my mother, someone.)
34. What kept you sane?
LJ and MSN and Double Study, not necessarily in that order.
35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
Hmm. Um. Not sure. *thinks about it* Tobey Maguire is still the most accidentally hot thing on this planet (by which i mean he totally shouldn't be hot, I mean he just isn't pretty, but OMG he really is.) And Brad Pitt (speaking of which, can't WAIT till Boxing Day. Someone needs to come see Ocean's 12 with me. Any takers?)
36. What political issue stirred you the most?
Civil Union Bill, Brash's Orewa speech, Bush, progressive taxes, Muslim scarves in French schools.
37. Who did you miss?
Dave, because I didn't talk to him a lot. <3
38. Who was the best new person you met?
Where to start?hepburn66, kuril, did I meet Gian this year or last year? Last year... gabbysun um, um, heaps and heaps of people.
39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2004:
If you have important final exams and don't study, you get what you deserve. Also, bisexualit is more complicated than it sounds.
40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
"Lord Antony, bulied at school/get your own back now you are cool/or are you scared?"
But the way, parents totally suck- talking togianp for the first time in, well, a while that both of us were paying attention, a fairly rare state for myself and Gian, and along comes my father and KICKS ME OFF> Where was he yesterday evening when I was on till eleven doing basically NOTHING, huh?

Sweets, sexuality is more complex than it sounds, even before you start complicating it with the bi bit. All it means, though (if you're a serial monogamist like me), is that your field of choice is immeasurably wider when you are on the loose.
I remember when I slid quietly out of my closet, some of my friends were always "let's go out, we'll go to [insert nightclub du jour, you'll meet some nice guy and get laid". But it was never my scene, and I knew I wasn't completely gay because of my lifelong fascination with women's breasts ;-) Confusing times, fer shure. Just be yourself, be happy in yourself and the rest will follow (and that's easier than it sounds, I know) in time.
As for achievements, you got a job, you survived the year (in a country which leads the world in teen suicide), you're smart enough to know you screwed up with the exams, and you're smart enough not to do it again, you watched history being made with the CUB, there's any number of achievements if you look properly.
Remember, teenagers are supposed to screw up sometimes. It's how you gain all that wonderful experience and wisdom you get to pass on to your grandkids ;-)
Ciao bella

Date: 2004-12-15 05:53 pm (UTC)*mutters* You're way too right about the sexuality thing for comfort though... as for the "wider field," I'm not so sure... not everyone's very encouraging of bisexuality, of the gay girls I know, and of the straight boys I can't help wondering whether people really view bisexuality as distinct from lesbianism- if of course you're doing anything other than kiss your girlfriends in front of your boyfriend. I mean, that's PERFECTLY alright.
