I stole this from Katie Swaim. Who I love dearly, just to let you know

-The Year 2003 in Review-


1. What did you do in 2003 that you'd never done before?

KISSED SOMEBODY....went to college....went 2 days without seeing Christina....watched 8 movies in 7 days....became a recluse, to a certain extent....GOT A TATTOO!!!!

2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?

hehe, actually, i did keep MOST of them. I made up a list last year and found it about a month ago. Lost 5 pounds, yes i did. Got over Alex Dudley...hahahaha, yes i did. I don't remember the rest.

3. Did anyone close to you give birth?

Nope

4. Did anyone close to you die?

yea, my uncle Nickle Dick. He was an awesome guy

5. What countries did you visit?

hah. Haven't been outside of the US thankyouverymuch.

6. What would you like to have in 2004 that you lacked in 2003?

umm...a part in a show? In a college show? Yea, that'd be nice. Oh, and true friends at Ithaca. That'd be nice too.

7. What date from 2003 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?

October 13th, I got my tattoo. December 22nd, got my cartiledge pierced with Christina. Umm...oh, September 3rd, first kiss. Stupid STUPID Xander.

8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?

getting in to Ithaca. Definitely

9. What was your biggest failure?

not doing so WELL at Ithaca. And letting the system get to me.

10. Did you suffer illness or injury?

eh, yea that really strange flu that came over me in a day. injury? Nothing major. Got my pride hurt a couple of times ;)

11. What was the best thing you bought?

mmm...I got Pirates of the Carribean!!!!! mmmm Johnny Depp. I bought soooo many things I have no idea where to begin. Probly my Thomas Kincaid window hanging thing. That thing is AWESOME.

12. Whose behavior merited celebration?

not mine, that's for sure. Christina? Her behavior always merits celebration.

13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?

hah. Xander. stupid STUPID XANDER. (that's his full name from now on). Mostly everyone has put me in a bad state once or twice, I'm just pissy like that sometimes. Nothing personal, i swear.

15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?

my first kiss, definitely. MY TATTOO was awesome! I was excited about clubbing until I got there. I was dreading college the whole summer so I guess not that. I'm really really really excited about my next scene so maybe I can show the faculty that I'm not a wimp. That would be nice.

16. What song will always remind you of 2003?

too many. Here are a few

"Build Me Up Buttercup", "Cowboy Take Me Away", "The Way You Love Me" (that was the beach)
"Lady in Red", "Take My Breath Away"...uh, yea
"Mr. Bojangles", "Bridge Over Troubled Waters"... :)

17. Compared to this time last year, are you:

i. happier or sadder?

MUCH happier

ii. thinner or fatter?

I'd say actually thinner, cuz last year I was still under the influence of that busted toe, and I couldn't do any excersize.

iii. richer or poorer?

I would guess about the same.

18. What do you wish you'd done more of?

I wish I had had more fun and stop worrying about stupid boys.

19. What do you wish you'd done less of?

worrying about stupid boys. And sulking. Which I seem to be doing a little of riiiiight now :)

20. How will you be spending Christmas?

I spent Christmas with my dad's family in Norfolk because my Grandmother fell down the stairs and broke her ankles. She's doing better but we had to go down to see her during the holidays. It didn't really feel like Christmas.

22. Did you fall in love in 2003?

hahahaha am I even going to think that I know what love is?!

23. How many one-night stands?

well...one night a couple times...same guy tho. But we never actually WENT OUT, because I'm good enough to make out with, but not good enough to go out with apparently.

24. What was your favorite TV program?

South Park, Simpsons, Malcolm in the Middle....but i don't watch any TV at school.

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

uhh... I don't think i hate people that often.

26. What was the best book you read?

Let's see, that's a hard one. The Hobbit was awesome! I read that this year. And I'm reading "Outlander" right now. I'm about to start reading this book that's apparently very close in style to Harry Potter, i'm excited about that. Oh yea, a Harry Potter book came out this year, that was awesome too.

27. What was your greatest musical discovery?

umm...that I'm not going to make it in musical theatre because I can't belt? That's a great discovery isn't it.

8. What did you want and get?

My first kiss, a tattoo...wilder. hehehe.

29. What did you want and not get?

A boyfriend. Goddammit.

30. What was your favorite film of this year?

Oh lord. That's something I don't think I could even come close to answering. Lord of the Rings has it's contention...Love Actually too. I've seen WAYYYYY too many. Mystic River was amazing. Ya know, i think i'm just going to stop because I could go on allll night.

31. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?

18- I hung out on the 7th floor of the east tower. Christina and my parents came up, Jenny and Lauren decorated our room, it was awesome. At 1:05 in the morning the whole floor sang happy birthday to me. Then got stinking drunk. Fun for all!

32. Whats one thing that would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?

If i had done well in my scene and in school and been able to stay in the one thing i made it into....no, i'm not bitter?

33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2003?

haaaaahahaha. I think I dress better than I ever have. Meaning, i don't give a shit what I look like. It's dance clothes, stuff I can move in. I hardly wear jeans anymore, too confining. Jazz pants all the way baby

34. What kept you sane?

Christina. Friends. Hope.

35. Celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most??

mmm JOHNNY DEPP. As I will ALWAYS. I have a special love for that man. Oh, and Orlando Bloom. But Elijah Wood will be my husband if it's the last thing I do.

36. What political issue stirred you the most?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Don't get my started. Don't EVEN get me started.

37. Who did you miss?

Christina, Pam. Right now I miss Danny. I can always find someone to miss, it's more dramatic that way, don't you think?

38 Who was the best new person you met?

the BEST new person? Jeez. Emily. Jenny. Katie Swaim. They count as one right?

39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2003.

Being strong is only a shield for all the weakness you know is waiting to break through.

*AND*

Sometimes, you're fucked if you try and you're fucked if you don't try, you're fucked if you do and you're fucked if you don't. Who GIVES a shit, honestly?!

-Lara

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! i'm really not depressed, just "realistic" at the moment
