I heartlessly yoinked this quiz from Kainz
1. Was 2007 a good year for you?
Hmm, it started off filled with promise and I think that overall I had a pretty good first quarter but then it sort of detoriated and was gradually getting worse until the last few months where it started to get better again.
2. What was your best moment of the year?
Jeez I dunno there was quite a few highlights early on - my lovelife was certainly pretty active over the first 4 or 5 months. I guess on balance though it was moving into my current place after being stuck in a hellhole flat for almost 6 months.
3. What was your least favourite moment of the year?
I think probably the realisation that the flat I had just moved into was made from walls and ceilings of paper and that it was directly beneath a small time drug dealer who used it as party central. That or splitting up with a certain person because I just didn’t think it was going to work - despite really caring about them *cue sad face*.
4. What are your plans for 2008?
Well one was to stop smoking and so far so good - not had a single ciggy since boxing day. Others include getting back down to my ideal weight and getting fitter - which is also coming along. I guess it would be nice to find a gf and get out of freelance hell. I guess most of all it would be to make some films
5. What countries did you visit?
Scotland… I think that was it, pretty average year for travelling now I think about it :/ I think i will try and make up for that too this year.
6. What date in 2007 will remain etched in your memory?
hmm I guess the 1st of january 2007 was pretty wicked - I doubt I will forget that in a hurry 24th/25th of december weren’t bad either but not the same league.
7. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
I think I pretty massively underachieved last year. I think the only major work I finished was a couple of university related tings - and I didnt get my portfolio online until the new year. I suppose I moved into my own place for the first time and I had some important personal breakthroughs.
8. What was your biggest failure?
Hmm, I try not to fail - that’s my biggest fear. I guess I didnt get enough of my own work done last year - but I did some pretty impressive photomanips - I guess I should recognise my successes more - thats one of my failings sometimes.
9. Did you suffer any illness or injury?
A cold is about the only thing I remember.
10. What was the best thing you bought?
I guess I was whinging on about getting a Wii all year but I’ve not played it as much as I thought I would. It’s actually probably something small yet important that I can’t think of.
11. Whose behaviour made you appalled and depressed?
My own behaviour is usually the one which makes me most appalled and depressed but I guess my upstairs neighbour in my last flat had me on the brink of going postal so he wins that award.
12. Where did most of your money go?
The little I had went mainly on bills and food I’ll wager.
13. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
Moving out of the shared house. Getting a Wii.
14. What songs will always remind you of 2007?
I think last year was probably owned by …and you will know us by the trail of the dead. I listened to a lot of music though - snow patrol have some tracks I guess i won’t forget.
15. Compared to this time last year are you:
1. Fatter or thinner? Probably slightly tubbier - I had lost tons of weight around christmas last year so I was super svelte by this time.
2. Happier or sadder? Probably Sadder - I was still on a high last year.
3. Richer or poorer? Probably about the same / slightly richer. Althoguh I have gotten rid of a few debts and sorted myself out a bit more now.
16. What do you wish you’d done more of?
Hard graft.
17. What do you wish you’d done less of?
Video games.
18. How will you be spending Christmas?
This year will be back home again - I seem to have been doing it every other year for the last few.
19. Which MySpace users did you meet for the first time?
Stupid question - guess Kainzy stole this from myspace - though I think i met two people from myspace for the first time last year.
20. Did you fall in love in 2007?
I nearly did.
22. What was your favourite TV show?
Probably Lost or BSG - I watched all of 24 last year though.
23. Do you hate anyone now that you didn’t hate this time last year?
Don’t think I hate anyone really, despite what I might say I aint got the spare time to think about people I dislike that much.
24. What was/were the best books you read?
I don’t recall being bowled over by anything - I did enjoy a couple of Ben Elton numbers at the start of the year and i reread a bunch of favs in the middle.
25. What was your greatest musical discovery?
Hmm, Belle and Sebastian was the year before but I guess they got the most airplay again. I don’t recall tbh. I did a mad Scottish thing and downloaded tons of Scottish bands.
26. What did you want and get?
A Wii.
27. What did you want and not get?
A lovely gf!
28. What kept you sane?
A variety of friends intervening at the correct moments.
29. Which celebrity did you fancy the most?
I think in firefly’s Summer Glau (and The Sarah Connor Chronicles) I developed my first fantasy celebrity crush since I was a teenager and Salma Hayek was my number one woman. Sorry Salma, as hot as you are I think she just edges it too.
30. How mind numbingly boring was this quiz?
Well I managed to do it quicker than kainz…
