year-end meme
Jan. 2nd, 2014 02:12 amsaw this floating around, figured why the fuck not. i dont have anything else i want to do at this time of night.
1. What did you do in 2013 that you’d never done before?
i stood up to my father and kindly told him to get the fuck out of my life. also tried using perler beads for the first time.
2. Did you keep your New Years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
i honestly can't remember if i made any new years resolutions for 2013. i suppose that means there's a high chance i didn't keep them. i plan on making a few this year, which i'll post here at some point so i can come back and check them later.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
nope.
4. Did anyone close to you die?
negative.
5. What countries did you visit?
green country?? i mean i live in northeast oklahoma, so maybe that counts. the only traveling i did was a cruise at the beginning of the year and a road trip to okc for izumicon. oh and the sophomore year scholars trip, that was fun as hell.
6. What would you like to have in 2014 that you lacked in 2013?
i would like to have some merchandise from free!, i'll be honest. gimme all the rin. but on a serious note, by the end of this year i'd like to have a finished novel and a better idea of where i plan on going after high school. i need to settle my mind on a lot of decisions i worry incessantly over. also i want to try and take pictures of myself?? i really don't have many photos with me in them, so i guess i want to try and document changes over the year. (i also want my best friend back.)
7. What date from 2013 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
27 july 2013. the day my father knocked on the door.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
the father thing, probably. making it through sophomore year and into junior, and not failing any classes. making it into nhs was pretty nice as well, now it's a matter of staying in.
9. What was your biggest failure?
maybe it isn't the biggest deal, but i'm frustrated that i didn't raise my psat score as much as i wanted. i didn't qualify for national merit. i really wanted to, and i worked hard to raise my score enough points but it didn't happen. i was hoping i could get scholarship money out of the program and use it to my advantage on college apps. now i've gotta figure out plan b.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
i think the most serious injury was when i stubbed my toes getting out of the shower. they were bruised for a solid week and damn did it hurt. i was sick often, but that's nothing different from usual. oh, got my first migraine. i have chronic painless migraines, but this is the first one that actually caused serious pain. i will never take a muscle relaxant again. i can live with stiff shoulders.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
animal crossing new leaf 3ds bundle. i regret nothing about that purchase.
12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
my mom!! she worked really hard this year, and i know i was a pretty big shit over certain issues but we came out with a stronger relationship. i'll always be proud of her.
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
friend drama depresses me. i stopped hanging around most of my acquaintances because i didn't feel like dealing with the shit that came with them. also my father. but everything he does disappoints me, so.
14. Where did most of your money go?
books and video games. i did spend a bit on cosplay-related things, but not too much (intense bargain shopper).
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
tokyo in tulsa, izumicon, animal crossing new leaf release (like holy shit yo), the 2013 scholars trip.
16. What song will always remind you of 2013?
splash free by style five and guren no yumiya by linked horizon. 2013 was the year of shingeki no free and it was grand.
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
i. happier or sadder? much happier
ii. thinner or fatter? thinner?? i'm under 200, and i don't think i was at this point last year
iii. richer or poorer? i think i'm slightly richer. hella.
18. What do you wish you’d done more of?
baking, watching anime, video gaming, and reading. especially reading.
19. What do you wish you’d done less of?
procrastinating holy fucking shit.
20. How will you be spending Christmas?
slept in pretty late, opened presents with mom when she woke up. pretty sure we watched a couple movies and made a tasty dinner.

stayed up til 4am because i couldn't sleep. it wasn't a grand affair, i don't particularly enjoy celebrating this holiday.
22. Did you fall in love in 2013?

honestly, it's a tie between the divergent trilogy and the great gatsby.

i wanted a copy of all free! books (only managed to score one), the really expensive levi figure, and a few miscellaneous things i can't think of off the top of my head.
30. What was your favorite film of this year?
star trek into darkness. that movie sent me into a two month depression. it was fantastic and i refuse to watch it again for a long time. there's a youtube video, though, that struck me hard. it's a documentary by olan rogers. it hit home, and i needed those words when i saw it the first time.
31. What did you do on your birthday?
i went out to dinner with mom and the moirail at cheesecake factory!! spent that night at the doubletree, and the next day was the first day of tokyo in tulsa. it was really great timing all around, and probably the best way i could have spent my 16th.
32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
winning the god damn lottery.

this hell you put me in
i’m underneath your skin
the devil within
you’ll never know what hit you
