'Cause.
This one's a toughie.
SPOILERS! (Click to view)
1. What did you do in 2006 that you'd never done before?
Gradjetation.
Design.
Saw a James Bond movie.
Piloted a boat. (Do you pilot a boat?)
Dreaded my hair. Shaved my head.
There's a whole bunch more I'm sure. I do specifically remember thinking "I've never done this before!" several times, but what, exactly, eludes me.
2. Did you keep your new year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I failed. "Be more social" was the idea. Come the summer and the fall, I probably fell into my most anti-social phase ever.
This year, I resolve. I resolve to spend more energy on the things, other than the obvious, I'm interested in. I resolve to get excited more about things non-theatrical. I resolve, again, to be more social, but re-wording it this time around to say "Be more open" -- I tire of the schmooze.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
No. But a few did get knocked up, ought to be popping in the next month.
4. Did anyone close to you die?
No.
5. What countries did you visit?
Bermuda. Newfoundland. (trust me. It is.)
6. What would you like to have in 2007 that you lacked in 2006?
Intimate male company. A close guy, a real connection. Someone to make me nervous.
But guy friends, generally.
Without ever being "one of the guys" I'd always -- before I moved to Mtl -- surrounded myself almost exclusively with male friends. In Theatre School, there's a 1:6 male/female ratio. The friends I've made here are almost exclusively female. It's weird. Girls are weird. I love 'em. But god, they're weird.
7. What date from 2006 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
November 20th -- Gradjetation.
April 11th -- My 25th. Worst Birthday Ever. Last day of under-graduate class.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Gradjetation.
Theatre Company foundage.
9. What was your biggest failure?
I let myself burn out.
I missed the summer entirely.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
Burn-out counts. And exacerbated a reeeeeaaaaalllly terrible bout of bronchitis.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
The laptop. Although it's been a pain in the ass. I'm glad for it.
12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
Sonja, costume Queen. There should be a prize I can nominate that girl for, somewhere.
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
The boy that left me and the whole world in favour of hermitude, despite having told me I was the best thing to happen in a long time.
Tyler, who keeps pissing on everything, all the time.
14. Where did most of your money go?
Rent, Bills. Food. Drugs.
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
The trip to Newfoundland. The Tattoo.
16. What song will always remind you of 2006?
Le Tigre -- Deceptacon
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
i. happier or sadder? Sadder.
ii. thinner or fatter? neither, really.
iii. richer or poorer? Poorer. And not anticipating a chunk of student loan in the near future, so definitely more panicked about it.
18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
Work. I know. It's sick.
19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Laying around in bed.
20. How will you be spending Christmas?

22. Did you fall in love in 2006?
No, but I got well on my way, only to be quashed.
23. Did your heart break in 2006?

I turned 25 on April 11th.
It was my last day in school ever, and it was horrible.
I had a major directing project due. A rehersal at 8 am. Security lost the booking for my space, and wouldn't let me in. I cried a lot, and it took until 9 for Security to finally concede to letting me in, and by that time, all my actors had to go to class.
A rented prop for the project was lost. Come show time, one of the actor's profs wouldn't let him out of class to come perform.
Once it was all over, I immediately got sick. But, Peeled came to save the day, and took me to dinner.

See above.
42. Who was the best new person you met?
Kaffeine and ValCapone may be tied on that one.

I let myself burn-out.
Or, maybe, that I stopped, and allowed that to happen.

I'm sure I'll survive. It looks like I have someone bringing me tea and cookies at the least so that should tide me over
If I was eating soup, it wouldn't be chicken soup cause as a general rule, I don't eat anything with fur or feathers on it.
