8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Freeing myself from the drudgery of university? Is that an achievement?

9. What was your biggest failure?
My behaviour at summer camp. I did a bad job this year, and I really want to improve for future years.

Hyde Calendar/666/Rock Rock Rock

18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
Work. I need money. ;_;

19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Whining. Althoug admittedly I do have reasons to whine, I could have approached things from a calmer and more rational outlook. I mean, I am an adult, in theory.

Minh. And a lot of my HS friends...

38. Who was the best new person you met?

40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.
fat boy
Goes to the pool
Sees his reflection
Doesn't know what to do
He feels little inside
And filed with pride

Oh, fragile flame
When no one sees the same

Fat boy
Goes about his day
Trying to think of funny
Things to say
Like, "this is just a game i play,"
And "i like me this way."

Oh, fragile flame
When no one feels the same

Hush, sleep
Don't think
Just eat
You're daddy's little boy
You're momma's pride and joy
You know they love ya
But not because they hold ya

And fat boy says
"Wouldn't it be nice?
If i could melt myself like ice
Or outrun my skin
And just be pure wind?"

Oh, fragile flame
Sometimes i feel the same
Fat Boy - Jewel
