1. What did you do in 2005 that you'd never done before? Actually, quite a bit. oO;;; Um... getting my wisdom teeth pulled, and on the way to getting braces. *nodnod*

8. What was your biggest achievement of the year? Overcoming drama that's been bugging me this year, opening myself up to more friends, actually writing more often than last year. :)

9. What was your biggest failure? *shudder* The two Drama*Breakdowns that happened and leeched me since May. And that scary fic I wrote last month that I'm thankful never saw the light of day.

10. Did you suffer illness or injury? Only recently I was sick with a horrible headache on Christmas Day, but now I've recovered. :)

11. What was the best thing you bought? All my CDs, like NIN's "Downward Spiral" & Sarah McLachlan's "Fumbling Towards Ecstacy". (Funny how I put that in the same sentence. @.@) AND SHADOW~~~ In all its cheesy glory. XDDDD;;;

12. Whose behavior merited celebration? Fwends~! :333 There's you, and you, and you... I love you all so much~! X333

13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed? Fwends, sometimes. ._.;;; But even more so, Dad's been really awful this year. There's also all the rabid fanbrats/bashers I've complained about. XDD;;;

14. Where did most of your money go? Music. :33

15. What did you get really, really, really excited about? Um, "Shadow". ._.;;;; *points to above answers*

16. What song will always remind you of 2005? "Pretty Good Year" & "Happiness is a Warm Gun" by Tori Amos, "Bang Bang! My Baby Shot Me Down" by Nancy Sinatra, "Under Pressure" by Queen & David Bowie, maybe "Haunted" by Poe.

17. Compared to this time last year, are you you are: "More stable. Less whiny. More independent." --fukachi_itansha. (Pretty much sums that up. XDDD)

18. What do you wish you'd done more of? Should've worked more on my Secret*Fic. ._.;;;

22. Did you fall in love in 2005? No.

23. Any one-night stands? No.

24. What was your favorite TV program? "Loonatics"! XDDD! I'm joking, of course. *MUTILATE'D!* Nothing really exciting's been happening, unless you count "Serenity" for the "Firefly" series. ._.;;;

25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year? No... don't think so... maybe? ._.;;;

26. What was the best book you read? 2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke, hands down! *nodnod* Followed by A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket. HP wasn't bad, but... ick, did we need all the Teen*Romance Melodrama in HBP? XPP H/G, boo. XDDD;;; Ah well, at least there was a bunch of fun "Snape killed Dumbledore!" jokes on the Internet. XDDD!

29. What did you want and not get? No one had the Poe CD. ._.;;; That, and no "Sonic X" poster/Shadow keychain/Sonic & Nintendo shirts. Dammit!

30. What was your favorite film of this year? "2001: A Space Odyssey": I've officially sold my soul to that movie. XDDD;;; Other than that, it's been a really sucky year for movies... though I've had my fun little spazzings of Tim Burton with CatCF & "The Corpse Bride", and of course... "March of the Penguins" is single-handedly the best documentary I have EVER seen. *___________*

31. What did you do on your birthday, and how old? At 17 years, we went to a roller-skating rink 'cause I hadn't skated in years! :D :D :D (Mom broke her arm since then. Um... yay? :/ ) We ate donuts from Krispy Kreme, I was left alone to rewatch CatCF, and came home to a neat little party with balloons and streamers in Sonadow colors in red/black/blue, with "Incredibles" cups and plates, (One of my gifts even came in a Vader*Bag! :333) and posted about in my LJ so my friends could wish my happy birthday, even show me cute stuff. :33 It was also the day I met dr_sipp. ;333

32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying? If Dad wasn't so whiny.

33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2005? "Look, I have better, softer underwear!" Well... it's true. XDDD;;; Otherwise, my fashion's been the same: casual, with jeans & T-Shirt.

34. What kept you sane? NIN. "Sonic". Shadow. "Shadow". Music. Fwends. Humor. Photoshop. Writing.

35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most? They diiiiiiiiiied. ._.;;;; Uhh... Johnny Depp & Ron Perlman. Yeah~

36. What political issue stirred you the most? Hurricane Katrina. The "Happy Holidays" bullshit. And just like last year, Bush being in office and gay marriage.

37. Who did you miss? I haven't been coming to AIM lately, haven't I? ._.;;;; Philleh... and I need to talk to Elisha again, I've been distant from him.

38. Who was the best new person you met? Do I have to start? *_________*

39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2005: Your friends are always there no matter what you go through. No matter what shakes the Earth, somehow we move on and it's another day: it's not the end of the world if a movie or games sucks, the fandom won't die. *glares HP & Sonic* It's time to let go of certain things and move on to a brighter future. Everything I've learned from 2005, I've learned from an amnesiac, grumpy black-&-red hedgehog who rides motorcycles, uses guns, and nearly blows up the world (twice!). Who angsts a lot.

40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:

And you probably don't want to hear tomorrow's another day
But I promise you you'll see the sun again
And you're asking me why pain's the only way to happiness
And I promise you you'll see the sun again

And I promise you you'll see the sun again...
-- "See the Sun" by Dido



Thank GOD the year is almost over, eh? XDDD;;; Happy New Year, everyone. :)
