1. Where were you when 2007 began?
I don’t remember to be honest – it can’t have been anywhere terribly exciting!
2. What did you do in 2007 that you’d never done before?
Finished my teenage years
3. Did you keep your new years resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I hardly ever make them, but earlier tonight I discovered something that might be kind of cool to do in 2008…Project 365
4. Go to any concerts this year?
Nope
5. Will you be looking for a new job in 2008?
Unlikely, I like my current job
6. Did you drink a lot of alcohol in 2007?
Possibly more than I did in 2006, but still not very much.
7. Did you go on any vacations? If so, where?
Yes, I went to Tahiti in July, which was awesome, even though I was my second time going there.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
I don’t know, I don’t think 2007 has been very eventful, I didn’t achieve a lot…other than auditioning for my very first musical and ending up getting a pretty good part!
9. If you could go back in time to any moment of 2007 and change something, what would it be?
Like I said at the end of 2006, I don’t think I’d change anything about the year, I might change things about my self though, since I have recently come to realise that there are some parts of my personality that I don’t particularly like.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
Not seriously, I’ve been pretty lucky health-wise this year!
11. What was the best thing you bought?
My new phone I suppose, it’s pretty and very pink.
12. Whose behaviour merited celebration?
Nobody’s in particular. There have been a few times when I’ve been proud of what I’ve done (or achieved), but I don’t want to sound arrogant and say “my behaviour ought to celebrated”. :/
13. Whose behaviour made you appalled and depressed?
My own, on some occasions.
14. Where did most of your money go?
Unimportant things.
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
Nothing really other than Wonderland!
16. What song will always remind you of 2007?
“What If” – Nichole Nordeman
17. Compared to this time last year, are you
i. happier or sadder?
Much the same.
ii. thinner or fatter?
Probably about the same, perhaps slightly thinner.
iii. richer or poorer?
Richer, yay for having a job!
18. What do you wish you’d done more of?
Acting, meeting people, studying and voicing my opinions and feelings.
19. What do you wish you’d done less of?
Wasting time – which was also my 2006 answer…I never learn, do I!?
20. How did you spend Christmas?
With my mum’s sister and her family, it was pretty cool.
22. Did you fall in love in 2007?
No.
23. What was the biggest change for you in 2007?
I’m not sure!
24. What were your favourite TV programmes?
I don’t think I had any favourite programmes this year, I didn’t watch a lot of TV!
25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn’t hate this time last year?
No, but as I said last year, I feel differently towards some people than I used to.
26. What was the best book you read?
Wow. This is so bad…I don’t think I read any really great books this year!
27. What was your greatest musical discovery?
Not sure…various things, but nothing life changing!
28. What did you want and get?
A new phone
29. What did you want and not get?
An iPod.
30. What was your favourite film of this year?
Calendar Girls. Brilliant. I love it. Helen Mirren and Julie Walters definitely get added to my list of Admired Persons.
31. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
I was 20, and on my birthday I went to uni and had a pretty average, but good day, then, the weekend after my birthday, my family had an open house type thing where people came over for lunch basically. Simple, but one of the most awesome “birthday parties” I think I’ve ever had. Hopefully my 21st in 2008 is even better though!
32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
Beating around the bush less!
33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2007?
The same as my 2006 answer…practical, but feminine.
34. What kept you sane?
Same as 2006 yet again…I don’t think I was ever at risk of going INSANE…or maybe I’m too far gone to notice…?
35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
In a completely non-sexual manner…Helen Mirren. Although Stephanie J. Block is definitely still up there too!
36. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.
“What if you dig
Way down deeper than your simple-minded friends
What if you dig
What if you find
A thousand more unanswered questions down inside
That’s all you find“
37. Who did you miss?
Nobody in particular, though in some ways I missed relationships between certain people which are now broken or have become redundant.
38. Who was the best new person you met?
I don’t think I met any completely new people, although Lisa and Jenny are pretty cool. I wouldn’t mind ending up like them in 10 or 15 years time!
39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2007.
Don’t leave things too late.
40. What are your plans for 2008?
To continue going to university, and hopefully mature and change a lot.
Anyway, moving right along, as I said in my last blog, I got given a watch for Christmas, but when I went to wear it discovered that although the salesman had altered it for me when we bought it, I wasn’t able to do it up myself – due to him having taken one too many links out of the strap!
Pink jandals – From 
I just caught up with a friend of mine to give her some lights back and to exchange Christmas presents, and she gave me this book! It’s a huge big hardcover called Images of Move Stars – photos from the Daily Mail and although the lovely Audrey Hepburn is on the cover, it has photos of tons of other celebrities too, like Julia Roberts and Robert DeNiro. It’s one of those things that will keep me occupied from hours just looking at it!
