What a year it’s been.

2012-2013

• Stayed single almost the whole year? I haven’t been single at all in 2012.
• Were involved in something you’ll never forget? Absolutely. The Great Birmingham Run was just a phenomenal experience.
• Tripped over a coffee table? No but I have fallen over a couple of sofas.
• Came close to losing your life? Nearly got hit by a bus, if that counts!
• Saw one of your favorite bands/artists live? I saw Idina Menzel live. Amazing moment!
• Did something you regret? I don’t think so. I’ve been trying to live without regrets and so far I think I’m doing pretty well.

2012: Friends and Enemies

• Did you meet any new friends this year? Yes! Going to uni has just been the most amazing experience because of all the people I’ve met here!
• Did you hate anyone? Nope, I’ve realized hate is just pointless. Kill ’em with kindness.
• Did you lose any friends? Again, I think this is the first year where I don’t think I’ve lost any friends, which is awesome!

2012: Your BIRTHDAY!

• Did you have a cake? Yes I did 🙂
• Did you get any presents? I did indeed.
• Did you get what you wished for last year? I don’t think I made a wish last year, but something amazing happened that day 🙂

2012: All about YOU

• Did you change at all this year? Quite a lot. I’ve become more comfortable with being myself, not putting up a front, and I’m quite proud to say that since I started uni, I’ve been very much “what you see is what you get”, and if people don’t like that, it’s not my problem. My confidence has also grown.
• Did you change your style? I wasn’t aware of ever really having a style, let alone changing it. I think this one goes hand in hand with the self-confidence thing in that I now actually own three dresses, something I didn’t own last year – and I’ve worn all three of them!
• Were you in school? Finished college and started university.
• Did you get good grades? I got an A and two Bs, I was pretty damn ecstatic!
• Did you drive? Once or twice 😛
• Did you own a car? Nope.
• Did anyone close to you give birth? Don’t think so.
• Did you go on any vacations? I went to Trecco Bay in Porthcawl and it was great 🙂
• Would you change anything about yourself now? Nope. I’m happy.
• Did you dye your hair? A fair few times, I think I’m closer to my natural colour now than I have been for a while, although it is a bit pink/purple at the moment.

2012: Wrap UP:

• Was 2012 a good year? It had it’s ups and downs, really.
• Do you think 2013 will top 2012? I think it will 🙂
• Best thing that happened in 2012? I have three top moments, and I can’t even arrange these three into an order of first, second and third. That feeling of success after getting into university, the complete overwhelming emotion I felt after crossing the finish line at the Great Birmingham Run, and getting engaged – all three were just perfect moments in 2012.

IN THE YEAR 2012 I CONFESS THAT I….

• Kissed in the snow? Don’t think so. .
• in the parking lot? at the beach ? in secret ? Yes to the car park, yes to the beach but I don’t think in secret 😛
• Had your heart broken? Nope.
• Painted a picture? No.
• Wrote a poem? Can’t remember if I’ve written any poetry this year.
• Ran a mile? I did a half marathon actually 😉
• Visited a foreign country? Not this year.
• Cut in a line of waiting people? Ooh no, I hate people who do that!
• Told someone you were busy when you weren’t? Probably at some point.
• Cooked a disastrous meal? Don’t think so! Survived three months at uni without burning the place down!
• Lied about how old you were? Maybe once or twice!
• Cried yourself to sleep? Nope.

IN 2012 I….

• Broke a promise? No.
• Lied? No major lies I don’t think. Little white ones don’t count.
• Disappointed someone close? Probably! I have a habit of doing that…
• Hid a secret? Don’t think so.
• Pretended to be happy? Doesn’t everyone occasionally?
• Slept under the stars? No! I really want to!
• Met someone who changed your life? I’ve met a lot of awesome people this year, whether they’ll change my life remains to be seen 😉
• Changed your outlook on life? I’ve met some people who make you realize that there are truly good people in the world, and that crap happens to good people. I’ve met others who make me loathe humanity and fear for the future.
• Sat home all day doing nothing? Spent a few months stuck at home doing nothing with a kidney infection. It was horrible.
• Lost something expensive? Nope!
• Learned something new about yourself? I learned that I may not be fast, or a particularly good runner, but by god it doesn’t matter if my feet are about to fall off and I have tendonitis, I will keep walking if it’s for a good cause!
• Tried something you normally wouldn’t try and liked it? Jaegerbombs 😉 hah I’m kidding, I’m not a huge fan of them. Drunk karaoke.
• Made a change in your life? I’m bettering myself by going to uni 🙂
• Found out who your true friends were? Haven’t had one of those moments this year I don’t think.

• Spent most of your money on food? Nope, majority goes on accommodation.
• Gotten sick? Oh yes 😦
• Liked more than 5 people at the same time? No, because I’m not a whoo-er.
• Became closer with a lot of people? Yes 🙂
