So the past few nights have been adventure after adventure (including two run-ins with cops).

Three nights ago was hanging out with awesome people and then having the cops called by one of their overreacting parental figures. Boo at Arizona curfew laws. At least no one got in trouble. I wasn’t aware that “contributing to the delinquency of a minor” was a punishable offense. Meh.

Two night ago I spent time with Kat before she moves to Tucson (and doesn’t come back for who knows how long…). I’ve known her since before Fourth grade, and we’ve been through so much together (both bad and good, but mostly good). I’m really going to miss you, Kat. Best of luck with life.

Last night was a casual outing to Barnes and Noble until the guy I was with made an illegal left turn, panicked at the sight of a cop, and drove away at 50 MPH through a parking lot (in a minivan, no less) only to be caught and realize he didn’t have his licence. That could have been really, really, really bad… except the cop was really nice and just gave him a warning. We need more reasonable cops like that. Then I had a midnight western bacon cheeseburger.

I don’t normally do memes in this journal (those are usually posted in my LJ), but this one is sufficiently un-meme-like that I’ll make an exception

1. What did you do in 2006 that you’d never done before?
Flirted with people, became more outgoing, took photography classes, entered a relationship, shut out everyone, felt truly hopeless, felt truly happy, struggled with a class, wrote code for use in a commercial product, accepted myself for me.

2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions?
I don’t make new year’s resolutions.

3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
No

4. Did anyone close to you die?
No

10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
Nothing more than the usual colds and such

11. What was the best thing you bought?
My camera (Nikon D50)

12. What was your biggest achievement of 2006?
Became really, truly comfortable with who I am and, for the first time, feeling wanted.

13. What was your biggest failure of 2006?
Not getting the internship I wanted for the summer.

Food was #1, card games was #2.

16. What songs will always remind you of 2006?
Breathe Me – Sia

17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
I. happier or sadder? Happier. Definetly.
II. thinner or fatter? Same
III. richer or poorer? Richer

20. How will you be spending Christmas and New Years?
Spent them at home in front of the computer and sleeping. Yay break.

21. Did you fall in love in 2006?
Depends on the definition of “love,” but I’d say yes. At the very least, I developed very strong feelings of affection.

22. How many one-night stands?
Five hundred and thirty-eight thousand seven hundred and fourty-two. Point nine.

23. Best thing you ate?
Pie! Yum yum yum yum.
Actually, I’m not sure. The seared Ahi Tuna steak was pretty damn good, as was the raw scallop and whitefin tuna sashimi… Probably one of those.

25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn’t hate this time last year?
Yes

26. What was the best book you read?
I… um… haven’t read any real books all year, only textbooks and comic books -_-

27. What was your greatest musical discovery?
Rent

30. What was your favourite film of this year?
Brokeback Mountain

31. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
I was 19. Mars and Dan brought me smiley cookies with candles, and I played games with people.

33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2006?
Slacks, t-shirts… the usual

34. What kept you sane?
Ev, Ben, and Kellie… it’s actually funny, that… I’ve (subconciously at first, but now conciously) started eliminating people from the list of people I feel comfortable talking to about things. My buddy list has rebalanced from top-heavy to middle-heavy (since I organize it by how comfortable I am talking to that group of people). Not sure what that means.

36. What political issue stirred you the most?
Gay marriage and illegal immigration (although this administration pisses me off in general, so you could say everything).

37. Who did you miss?
You get three guesses and the first two don’t count :-P

It’s a Davy!
