Ha. Actually, I haven't written on this one for 8 years! In the meantime, I wrote on Xanga (ligsar.xanga.com). But I haven't written a post there in a year now either.
You can check out previous posts on either site. Some of them are terrible. Some of them are pretty good, if I do say so myself. :-)
One of my favorites for the past couple of years is the New Year's one you're about to read. In reading over some of my posts recently, I've realized I really like looking back at these ones. (Seriously, if you start reading any of my previous posts, start with this one from last year.) So I want to make it an annual post. Here goes...
2012
1. What did you do in 2012 that you’d never done before? Wrote a check to pay rent! Ate grits. (No, I did not like them.)
2. Did you keep your new years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year? I'm not big on making them... I really don't think I had any goals for the year! :-S
3. Did anyone close to you give birth? No?!
4. Did anyone close to you die? No. I think I only attended one funeral - for a co-worker. :-(
5. What countries did you visit? None. Barely even made it out of Minnesota!
6. What would you like to have in 2013 that you lacked in 2012? How many years does this answer have to be a boyfriend? Haha. Other than that, I'm really in pretty good shape!
7. What date from 2012 will remain etched upon your memory, and why? August 2nd, I suppose! I moved into my new house!

8. What was your biggest achievement of the year? Moving into my new house. :-)
9. What was your biggest failure? That one's always financial... I'm still not good at paying all my bills and managing my cash flow. (True confession. Yikes.)
10. Did you suffer illness or injury? I had strep throat for the first time ever. It's disgusting.
11. What was the best thing you bought? A bed? I definitely bought more furniture than I've ever bought in a year before!

12. Whose behavior merited celebration? I can't help but always say my nephew Luke on this one. He's an amazing little boy.
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed? I can't say anyone personally... but, all those people you see on the news... you know the ones that kill people... those ones...

14. Where did most of your money go? Educational debt, car maintenance, and food.
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about? Moving. :-)
16. What song will always remind you of 2012? Gangnam Style, obviously.
17. Compared to this time last year, are you: happier or sadder? Slightly happier, I suppose. God's been really good to me. No doubt about that.

18. What do you wish you’d done more of? Well, working out is an usual answer, shoot. I actually wish I had done more for other people. I feel like I did a lot of the "minimum" and a lot of looking out for me, and didn't extend myself to make more of a difference in the world.
19. What do you wish you’d done less of? ???
20. How did you spend Christmas? Christmas Eve - with my family and at church. All beautiful. Christmas Day - breakfast with some friends, and on the couch with a cold, watching movies.
21. How will you spend New Years? Well, this is past tense... (New Year's Eve) I hung out with my friend Abe for dinner, games, shopping, and a movie... then a party with all sorts of friends... then (New Year's Day) I went to movie and dinner with my friend Erin... all good. :-)
22. What was your favorite TV program? Always and forever: FRIENDS and American Idol.
23. Do you hate anyone now that you didn’t hate this time last year? Nope!
24. What was the best book you read? Yeah, didn't do much of that...
25. What was your greatest musical discovery? All Sons & Daughters
26. What did you want and got? A new place to live.

27. What was your favorite film of this year? Oh man. I saw a lot of movies this year... NOT 'The Katy Perry Movie' though I loved it... umm... I loved 'The Descendants'. And well, 'Les Miserables' was pretty incredible.
28. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you? 33. I baked cookies. My friend Chad made me chili and brought it over for lunch. I had one meeting at church and then went out for happy hour with a bunch of co-workers. Then I worked an incredible service at church and finished out the evening by going out with some girlfriends. It was pretty awesome and I felt really loved, not gonna lie. I wish birthdays happened more often. We all need to feel loved like that more than once a year.
29. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying? Immeasurably? Satisfying? That's intense. And I think that one comes down to attitude, but I honestly can't answer that. Really. I'm just super grateful right now.
30. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2012? Old Navy. Always Old Navy.
31. What kept you sane? Repeat answer: Solely the fact that I stand on a Solid Rock. Seriously- don't know how it's done, otherwise.

32. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most? I just really don't do that...
33. What political issue stirred you the most? Just recently: I'm getting more intrigued when it comes to gun control. I don't know what the answer is. But we've got to do SOMETHING to make guns less accessible and prevent more tragedies.
34. Who did you miss? The Petty family moved back to Texas.
35. Who was the best new person you met? Because I can pick just one? Oh wait. Judah Hoard. 'Cause he's one of the newest. :-) Ooh. Megan Elston can be on that list too! And my roommate Sonya.
36. Tell us some valuable life lessons you learned in 2012: This is why I need to blog more. I have no idea...
