Meanie. xD




1: What did you do in 2014 that you’d never done before?

I finished my book, joined a writer's guild, and hosted a join.me (which lasted for like 5 minutes, but whatever. xD).

2: Did you keep your New Year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year?

I only made one last year because I knew I could keep it: I finished my book. 

Next year: Have the first draft typed (I set low expectations for myself, as you can tell...).


3: Did anyone close to you give birth?

Do sheep count? I love all of mine, and some gave birth last year. xD They're breeding sheep and they do it every year, though, so I'm not sure it counts. 


4: Did anyone close to you die?

My grandfather.  


5: What countries did you visit?

Nowhere except the USA (which is where I live).


6: What would you like to have in 2015 that you lacked in 2014?

1) Books (one can never have too much books).
2) Patience.
3) My book published? (it's a stretch, though).


7: What dates from 2014 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?

I don't have any real specific dates, as I'm terrible with those, but events:
Meeting TheTimeTraveIIer (so I realized I at least wasn't the *only* one crazy for Jekyll and Hyde).
Horse judging state finals (we almost got into nationals! ).

And my grandfather's death, but I don't think I have to explain why. 


8: What was your biggest achievement of the year?

Finishing my book (yes, I know I've mentioned this multiple times, but I didn't really do much else this year). xD

9: What was your biggest failure?

Not accomplishing more, I suppose. You fail at whatever you don't try, and I just feel like I didn't get much done this year. 


10: Did you suffer illness or injury?

Yes and yes. Seriously, though, who doesn't suffer those at least once a year?


11: What was the best thing you bought?

Jekyll and Hyde 1994 Concept Album. :3


12: Whose behaviour merited celebration?

No idea. There are so many people around me in real life and on the internet that I think merit celebration.  

13: Whose behaviour made you appalled?

My own, at times, but that happens every year and probably to more people than myself. 


14: Where did most of your money go?

Food while traveling for horse judging. 


15: What did you get really, really, really excited about?

1) Jekyll and Hyde
2) Finishing my book
3) Horse judging
4) Agriscience project at school
5) Art class.


16: What song(s) will always remind you of 2014?

I'm not sure. x3 I mean, my favorite songs are ones that I found out about in 2014, but I don't know if I'll always link them to this particular year. xD
Just in case, those songs are:
1. This is the Moment
2. Alive
3. Confrontation

Yes, they're all from Jekyll and Hyde. What's your point?


17: Compared to this time last year, are you: (a) happier or sadder? (b) thinner or fatter? (c) richer or poorer?

A)Happier, I think?
B) I'm not sure.
C)Richer, I believe. :3


18: What do you wish you’d done more of?

Writing, because I really pushed it to the last minute to fulfill my resolution and finish that @#*^)*^ book.
Actually learning different techniques of drawing.


19: What do you wish you’d done less of?

Sleeping
Yelling


20: How did you spend Christmas?

With family.

21: Did you fall in love in 2014?

Nope. xD


22: What was your favourite TV program?

Just one? No, I'll pick my top five (in no particular order):
1. MLP
2. Avatar: The Legend of Korra
3. Supernatural
4. Sherlock
5. Jekyll

I would have also put down Avatar: The Last Airbender, but I neither discovered it in 2014, nor was it made in 2014.


23: Do you hate anyone now that you didn’t hate this time last year?

No.

24: What was the best book you read?

Again, I'm picking more than one because I break rules like these. xD

1. Jekyll and Hyde
2. Phantom of the Opera
3. Rick Riordan books that came out this year
4. Harry Potter (I reread them. Again.)
5. Sherlock




25: What was your greatest musical discovery?

OKAY, THOSE OF YOU WHO DIDN'T SEE THIS COMING MUST NOT A)KNOW ME WELL AND B) NOT READ ANY OF WHAT HAS COME BEFORE THIS PARTICULAR QUESTION


Jekyll and Hyde. xD


26: What did you want and get?

A microphone, books, and some various other things.


27: What did you want and not get?

Just some other books. xD


28: What was your favourite film of this year?

The Hobbit, War Horse, possibly some Marvel films.


29: What one thing made your year immeasurably more satisfying?

Attempting to convert my friend that I know in real life to Jekyll and Hyde (and seeing it work a little).


30: How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2014?

I'm not fashionable, so I have no idea. xD Whatever is on top of the drawers I have in my dresser, I guess.


31: What kept you sane?

*maniacal laughter in the distance*


33: What political issue stirred you the most?

I'm not entirely sure, as so many things are going on in the East that I find it hard to keep track of them all. That, and the fact that I am not into politics just yet.


34: Who did you miss?

No one, really. No one really left this year.


35: Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2014.

Trust your self worth, but don't be arrogant. (I'm not sure which one I've had more trouble with.)


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

"And it's wiser to be mad...

In a world that's gone insane!"

xD


And I'm not going to tag anyone, because it took me a while to fill this out myself and I don't want to put anyone else through it unless they want to (lookin' right at ya, TheTimeTraveIIer...) xD
