God forgive me! I've committed yet another cardinal sin in copying a friends copied (its a vicious cycle) blog topic in order to mantain some semblance of updating in here... A thousand apologies, though be assured that I don't mean any of them. (So sue me... You'll see me in court, but I'll find you in a dark alleyway beforehand. Be very afraid.)

So begins the first step towards eternal condemnation.

1. What did you do in 2005 that you’d never done before?
Dance para para badly. Never again...

2. Did you keep your new years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
Somewhat actually. I did manage to get down to doing a couple of worksheets this year (which is a stark improvement over 2004, where I did none...). And yes I shall make more, if only to see how far short I fall (it makes a life of bullshit more fun)!

3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Not particularly, no - though I know a few people who look as if they are about to (editors note: The eternal hellfires of damnation shall scorch my soul...)

4. Did anyone close to you die?
Nope. Had a few scares though.

5. What countries did you visit?
Shanghai, Malaysia, Bangkok. (edit: Shanghai and Bangkok aren't countries but you get what I mean...)

6. What would you like to have in 2006 that you lacked in 2005?
Money, good fortune, rugby championship (and while we're at it, chuck in a car, beautiful women and a thousand free wishes)

7. What dates from 2005 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
31st Dec! And other dates which I forgot. It'll come back in a moment or two...

8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Writing my first cohesive essay for Social Studies, slimming down to Marie-France Bodyline standards, and thats about it?

9. What was your biggest failure?
Ah... The sheer awesomeness of my failures placed me on no.1 of Santa's naughty list, despite being the devilishly sexy superhero who saves the day - everyday. Screwing up many a friendship (oh the scars! The scars!), not dancing para para well enough to progress to the next round, doing absolute sh*te for Math, the list goes on!

10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
Another endless list, and I shall not start.

11. What was the best thing you bought?
Sexy blazer from Top Men. Cheap too - the last in stock and my size! (Material satisfaction!)

12. Whose behaviour merited celebration?

13. Whose behaviour made you appalled and depressed?
Watching family after family pile their plates with food at Christmas buffets and proceed to finish a quarter of it.

14. Where did most of your money go?
I should be asking that question...

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

16. What song will always remind you of 2005?
City of Blinding Lights - U2! Well it reminds me of lying on top of Ngee Ann City's rooftop at night with my friends... if that counts?

17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
a) happier or sadder? Honestly I don't know.
b) thinner or fatter? Thinner! (Butlerman scores! Woohoo)
c) richer or poorer? Poorer...

18. What do you wish you’d done more of?
Study harder (Editor's note: study? what's that?)

19. What do you wish you’d done less of?
Pissing a certain arch-nemesis of, though I suspect I've been doing it since 2003 anyway. Whoops?

20. How will you be spending Christmas?
Badly. That is history.

21. What was your favorite month of 2005?
December.

22. Did you fall in love in 2005?
Yes. No other comment needed. Thank you.

23. How many one-night stands?
None.

24. What was your favourite TV programme?
Desperate Housewives, Lost, Little Britain

25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn’t hate this time last year?
Nay! I am a man of peace! *Clad in shining armour and knightly posture*

26. What was the best book you read?
Anything by Bill Bryson

27. What was your greatest musical discovery?
Bloc Party! And well, I already knew System of a Down but they get a honourable mention.

28. What did you want and get?
A sexy watch.

29. What did you want and not get?
Many things...

30. What was your favorite film of this year?
Saw 2 wasn't bad, though I watched it from behind my fingers for 80% of the time (and screaming myself silly for the other 20%)

31. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
Being the honour-bound, lifelong servant that I am, I was at training working my butt off.

32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
I shall rip this off a friend and proudly proclaim his very statement "the presence of that special person, whom I have not met".

33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2005?
Reveal my fashion secrets I will not. (And no, nothing to do with Yoda...)

34. What kept you sane?
Whatever it was, it didn't work particularly well?

35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
Always thought Minister Mentor LKY was a sexy beast (this comment would probably bring about the end of my young, prospectful life and this garbage of a blog).

36. What political issue stirred you the most?
The one shaped like a spoon (I'm sorry. Nothing comes to mind as of yet.)

37. Who did you miss?
I've stopped talking to a few people this year and while it hurts my ego so, I admit that I have missed each of them a teensy bit. Only a teensy bit.

38. Who was the best new person you met?
I've met quite a few people this year, though the people towards the end of this year would get the famed Butler's stamp of approval (I would actually name their names but I don't name names. Note: If really bored, read that 10 times over very quickly.)

39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2005.
Be careful of what you wish for?

40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.
"On a cob web afternoon
In a room full of emptiness
By a freeway I confess
I was lost in the pages
Of a book full of death
Reading how we'll die alone
And if we're good we'll lay to rest
Anywhere we want to go

In your house I long to be
Room by room patiently
I'll wait for you there
Like a stone I'll wait for you there
Alone

On my deathbed I will pray
To the gods and the angels
Like a pagan to anyone
Who will take me to heaven
To a place I recall
I was there so long ago
The sky was bruised
The wine was bled
And there you led me on

In your house I long to be
Room by room patiently
I'll wait for you there
Like a stone I'll wait for you there
Alone, alone

And on I read
Until the day was gone
And I sat in regret
Of all the things I've done
For all that I've blessed
And all that I've wronged
In dreams until my death
I will wander on

In your house I long to be
Room by room patiently
I'll wait for you there
Like a stone I'll wait for you there
Alone, alone"
Like a Stone by Audioslave.

Comprehend this at your own discretion. My fingers ache.
