Tagged: New Year

(I originally completed this on 4th January, but didn't get around to posting it!)

1. What did you do in 2010 that you'd never done before?
Dismantled a laptop and put it back together in full working order...  Taking laptops apart is waaaay intimidating ;)  And yes, clearly I lead a crazy crazy lifestyle!

2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for the new year?
I don't make New Year Resolutions

3. How did you spend New Year's Eve?
Kellie has Swine Flu, Kellie has a kidney infection, I'm recovering from a bout of ManFlu... So we went to bed early, watched Fringe, paused it at midnight, said "Happy New Year" then put Fringe back on.
PARTY ANIMALS!

4. Did anyone close to you die?
Nope... At least, I don't think so.

5. What countries did you visit?
England and La La Land

6. What would you like to have in 2011 that you lacked in 2010?
Sleep, and some more money would be quite nice too ;)

7. What date from 2010 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
Sunday 12th September!  The day me and Kellie we engaged (officially)

8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Not killing anyone, and making it through the year without being killed in return ;)

9. What was your biggest failure?
Winning the lottery?  Don't think I have any moments I can consider failures.  At the end of the day, it's all just stuff that makes you who you are.  I didn't fail to win anything (aside from the lottery), I didn't fail in my relationship with Kellie, I didn't fail to create something that would change peoples lives, so all in all, I win ;)

10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
No injury, and only a few bouts of germs.

11. What was the best thing you bought?
My engagement ring... I mean, *I* didn't buy it, but I was there with Kellie and helped choose it!  Otherwise, I don't think I bought anything funky otherwise.  I DID get a very nice new phone, but that doesn't count as "buying" it ;)

12. Where did most of your money go?
The usual places - bills, shopping, bills...

13. What song will always remind you of 2010?
Erm, pass.

14. What do you wish you'd done more of?
*nudge nudge*

15. What do you wish you'd done less of?
*cough cough hack cough*

16. What was your favourite TV program?
Fringe, maybe, though I quite like No Ordinary Family.  How I never saw The IT Crowd before is beyond me but I loved that, and The Walking Dead was bloody (!!) excellent!

17. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
Hate? Pfft...

18. What was the best book you read?
So... Many...

19. What was your greatest musical discovery?
Not sure really.  So many artists are rehashing old stuff (and messing it up!) or are generally Auto-Tuned to oblivion, nothing jumps out and makes me think "ooooh!"

20. What was your favourite film last year?
The movies that pop to mind are "Zombieland" and "Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel"  Now, they might have been released before 2010, but I saw them last year, so ner. 

21. What did you do on your birthday?
Spoiled rotten and taken to the zoo!  Then later in the month, taken to see Rhod Gilbert!

22. What kept you sane?
Sane? hehe  I think Kellie kept me more... Level ;)

23. Who did you miss?
Bethy, as ever.

24. Who was the best new person you met?
Not sure I met any new people that I am still seeing...

25. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2010:
When a woman gets you a "I Love You" card out of the blue, read the inside back paper, as there MIGHT be a marriage proposal in there ;)
