The year that was 2006
I could write something long-winded and pseudo-reflective, but why should I when filling in this survey is so much easier? :) (Stolen from Kyasuriin, who had a similar train of thought.)

1. If you could give just one word for '06 what would it be?

whuh?

2. What are your favorite memories of '06?

Making and keeping university friends; convocation; Hawaii; seeing movies/hanging out with friends; Serenity charity screening; going to LA with Isolde; work training at Blue Mountain; the deterioration of my sense of humor to the point where the stupidest things are hilarious... to tell you the truth, these are either my favorite memories, or these are actually my only memories. Seriously. I'm not sure what else happened other than what I've already listed. Lol.

3. From 1-10 how would you rate this year?

7

4. If you could change one thing about '06 what would it be?

Less studying. More fun. Less guilt. Yeah, some combination of those three things would've been excellent. Also, more time spent with friends.

5. If you could rewind back to one moment what would it be?

Rewind? You think I want to live through all of this again, do you?

6. Best vacation you went on?

LA. Hear that, Iz? 4 days in LA was better than 10 days in sunny, beachy, there's-nothing-to-do-but-lounge-around-anyway Hawaii. :)


Friends

1. Did you make any new friends?

I have made some friends at work, yes.

2. Do you think any of your friends have changed?

Not any more than I expected them to. Everybody changes, even if on a core level we're all still the same as we've been for years.

3. Do you still have the same friends you had in the beginning of the year?

Yes, plus a few new additions. :)

4. Who would you say were your best friends overall this year?

The same ones who were my best friends overall last year.

5. Where did you spend most of your time?

In front of my computer. In my defense, my computer is an excellent tool with which I can connect to the outside world. :)

Life

1. Do you have any regrets for this year?

I always have regrets. I do try not to dwell on any of them, but if you're gonna actually ASK me about them, I'm gonna remember 'em. You know?

2. Has a lot changed in your life?

Somehow, I managed to procure myself a university degree. Say what? Also, I started my first job. I'm still waiting for them to realize that that was a mistake. Perhaps after I get my CKE exam results back.

3. Do you think you have changed?

I'm...honestly not sure. Do you think I have?

4. Do you have a New Year's Resolution? What is it?

I don't really make resolutions, per se. I've never liked New Year's anyway.


Relationships

1. Did you break any relationships?

No.

2. Did you meet someone special?

Not in the way you mean. (Don't ask me who "you" is.)

3. Have you had any "firsts" this year?

First job would be the major one.

In '06 have you:

[ ] Kissed anyone
[x] Hugged anyone
[x] Been out of state province
[x] Gone on vacation
[ ] Failed a class
[ ] Been camping
[x] Ridden a roller coaster

Happy end of 2006, everyone.

The Christmas spoils
Ha ha, you see what I did there? "Spoils" as in what I got, and also as in I'm so totally spoiled? I'm SO SMRT.

Toys!DVDs!Books!Music!
All of which makes Juliet very happy. :) Now, if only I had the requisite amount of time to fully enjoy all of these things right now, that would be AWESOME. Although all of these things are quite awesome enough already. :)

Off again to study now -- I'm gonna try to give it a really good go for the rest of today and hopefully tomorrow... sigh. I'll be glad just to be done with this wretched exam one way or another, but I would prefer to, you know, pass it and all. So...bye!

(I hope all of you had a lovely Christmas/other annual winter holiday too!)

Harry Potter and the...
It seems that J.K. Rowling has announced the title of the last book on her website -- there hasn't been any confirmation yet that this is the real title, but it certainly seems that way.

This post on The Leaky Cauldron explains how to view the title on the author's site. (There's a first step that they left out of the instructions. The first thing you have to do is click on the pink eraser on the main page.)

If you can't get to the title or you don't want to bother, I can just tell you what it is. :)

For those of you who know what the title is...thoughts?

UPDATE: The title has been officially confirmed.

Soundtrack to the movie of my life

Dude. Sometimes my horoscope is just way too accurate to dismiss as codswallop.

I...have never used the word "codswallop" before in my life. Huh.

Capricorn - Daily Extended Horoscope (by Astrology.com)
Right now your career doesn't just require that you put in time and energy while you're actually at work. You have to go above and beyond to truly succeed in the position you're in. You might not realize the level of responsibility you've been given, but a lot of people have a lot of faith in you. To ensure that you don't disappoint yourself or anyone else, put in a little bit of extra effort and go the extra mile.

The Golden Globe Award nominations were announced this morning, and whee! Either I like good stuff, or I just like so many different things that there was bound to be nominations for SOMEthing. Heh. Anyway, my point being -- yay! I didn't notice any significant omissions from my point of view, other than the complete lack of Veronica Mars. Ah well. Can't win them all, I guess.

Of course, the actual Awards broadcast will be on January 15th while I'm working in Connecticut, but...hotels have TVs, don't they? :)

Update on the exciting life of a staff accountant
I'm finally back in the office today after finishing my work at a client's location yesterday. It's good to be back -- well, no, really it's just good to not have anything to work on right now. Now I can neglect to study for my own stupid reasons instead of not studying because I have too much stuff to work on during the day. It's all me now. At least for the time being.

I'm pretty much finished with all of my holiday shopping -- I started early because I assume I'll be studying during my time off (two weeks starting next week, followed by our exam on January 3rd). Only one left is my brother, who (whom? whatever) I have concluded is nothing like me at all based on the wishlist items he's told me about so far. What the heck is this "Spa by BMW" thing anyway? And should a model of a BMW motorcycle really cost $88? I mean, really. What does one do with a model motorcycle (oh, this is good, coming from the queen of buying useless things)?

Anyway, got to go for now (is it lunchtime yet? Man, I'm hungry), but there's a little update for all of you so you know I'm still alive. For now . . .

<edit> p.s., I had a dentist appointment yesterday, and apparently all those nights of falling asleep with the light still on without brushing my teeth first did nothing to damage my teeth. Go me! ...Although I probably shouldn't make a habit out of doing that. I've been good lately...really! </edit>

<edit2> Good grief, they just tried to send me out to another client this afternoon on nearly the other end of the city. I din't have to go, though, because I don't have my car here with me -- it's actually my mom's car, and so when I'm not scheduled to go anywhere, I take the subway to the office and give the car back to her. Evidently this is an issue, since I am apparently supposed to drive my Mom's car here every day just in case they need to send me somewhere. Right. We'll talk when you start paying for the gas and parking space that I'd need if I was driving here on a daily basis when I could very well get here by subway for 2 dollars. I'm just saying. Now I'm just worried that they'll want to send me out somewhere tomorrow or on Friday, because I don't have very good excuses (OTHER THAN THAT I DON'T OWN A CAR) for not being able to go out at a moment's notice now that I've been informed. Bllaaaaaah. </edit2>
