[Jan. 26th, 2009|02:45 am] |
As usual, End of Year meme. Looks remarkably like it has every other year. Screw change!
1. What did you do in 2008 that you'd never done before?
I fell in love, which has turned into my first serious relationship ever. And we are still together. We will be together for one year on 2-16-09. And Tim made me go skydiving. : o
2. Did you keep your new year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I don't really make resolutions.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Angi is the only one I know that gave birth...
4. Did anyone close to you die?
People, no. But a few of my cows died and also one of the gerbils.
5. What countries did you visit?
This year, none. But I went to a lot of new states- North and South Carolina, and Virginia, which may not seem like a big deal, but I went there several times on my own to see Tim. And, I got stuck there for a week when I lost my glasses at Busch Gardens, on the first ride of the day. (Tim lost his cell phone on the next ride. We decided to call it a day after that.) And, my best friend from high school moved down there, so it was a real experience for me to get out into the world on my own. From this, I got to meet Angi, and hopefully, we'll get to meet up more often!
6. What would you like to have in 2009 that you lacked in 2008?
Motivation- I really need a job. I need more faith in God too.
7. What date(s) from 2008 will remain etched your memory, and why?
2-8-08, the day I met Tim
2-16-08, the day Tim asked me out
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Meeting a great guy and falling in love, I guess graduating from college was good too, although I miss it sometimes and my friends too.
9. What was your biggest failure?
Having to choose between my family and Tim, which kinda related to one of the cow's deaths (Rita's) cause dad wasn't feeling well and I was at Tim's AIT graduation.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
July 3rd- surgery to remove my 13x10 cm mass on my left ovary
11. What was the best thing you bought?
Hmm... first thing to come to mind is the Build a Bear Bear I had embroidered with "Tim and Tori 2-16-08", after going out for only like 2 months. And we are still together. I loves him.
12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
My parents- both are dealing with injuries. I think me and Tim's too. It took a lot for us to stay together while he was gone, and we are learning to deal with each other, through the thick and the thin, and over stupid little fights.
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
Not really sure...
14. Where did most of your money go?
HA! What money? I would say college stuff and gas, and sending the boyfriend letters and a couple packages.
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
Being in love.
16. What song(s) will always remind you of 2008?
Hmm, I'll have to think on this one. Probably Avenged Sevenfold's album that came out this year.

I. happier or sadder? happier, maybe the same...

Hanging out with friends, meeting new people, enjoyed college, reading, being at home to help my parents with the cows...

Always tell the people you love, that you love them, as much as possible. Treasure the good things, no matter how miniscule they may be. And, a 5 second phone call can make all the difference.

"They say 21 is gonna be a good year..." ~A lyric from a song by "The Who", but not sure what song...
