Had more than 4 weeks off work on the sick.
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I didn't make any for this year. I will be starting new medication in 2008 and I will be making some "resolutions" around improving my health.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
No.
4. Did anyone close to you die?
No humans, but Lucy and Rhandolph's beloved Leo passed away.
5. What countries did you visit?
Wales, but only in order to collect Simon.
6. What would you like to have in 2008 that you lacked in 2007?
Better health. More time with Simon. A decent job.
7. What date(s) from 2007 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
June 23rd, Lucy and Rhandolph's wedding.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Oooo, something I found out about on Tuesday, but it hasn't been officially announced yet :-)
9. What was your biggest failure?
Putting on yet more weight :-(
10. Did you suffer any illness or injury?
Continued back pain.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
I'm gonna have to go with my sat nav.

Simon has been remarkably mature, under the circumstances of being uprooted and taken away from me to Cardiff.
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
My boss's >:-[
14. Where did most of your money go?
It seemed to just go on bits and bobs. I spent a really big chunk having a professional photo set done with Simon.
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
Pirates of the Carribbean 3 coming out. And series 3 of Dr Who!
16. What song will always remind you of 2007?
I reckon "Rain Down Love" by Freemasons, although "Uninvited" (also by Freemasons) is giving the former a run for its money.

i. happier or sadder? Sadder
ii. thinner or fatter? Fatter (again)
iii. richer or poorer? Poorer
18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
Spending time with Simon, but then that wasn't really an option.
19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Eating...
20. How will you be spending Christmas?
I'll be collecting Simon from Cardiff early Sunday morning, and we'll be spending Xmas at my house. All the shopping is done, we'll be having roast turkey with all the trimmings :o)

No.
22. How many one-night stands?
One.
23. What was your favorite TV program?
Gonna have to go with Dr Who again.
24. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
I don't like thinking of myself as a hater, but YES.
25. What was the best book you read?
I'm going to have to go with David Baddiel's "Whatever Love Means". Great plot, good writing, and provided the useful phrase, "He's not just a cunt. He's off the cuntometer."
26. What was your greatest musical discovery?
I've listened to/watched a lot of Shakira this year, but that's more about the hypnotic arse than anything else, LOL
27. What did you want and get?
A new critique forum and gallery on Renderosity.
28. What did you want and not get?
Improved health. Enough time with Simon.
29. What was your favorite film of this year?
I haven't been to the flicks much this year. I'm going to have to go with Pirates 3, even though it was over-long and not as good as previous efforts.

I have to say I haven't really focussed on politics at all this year.
36. Who did you miss?
Simon :-(
37. Who was the best new person you met?
What an odd question. I've met quite a few new people this year thanks to changing jobs, and most of them suck. I suppose I will have to nominate the only one who doesn't suck...
38. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2007.
Don't ever assume your boss knows what they're doing just because they're the boss.
39. Sum up 2007 in one word.
"Forgettable"
40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.
Maybe there's no haven in this world for tender age
My heart beat like the wings of wild birds in a cage
My greatest hope my greatest cause to grieve
And my heart flew from its cage and it bled upon my sleeve
Oh the cries of passion were like wounds that needed healing
I couldn't hear them for the thunder
I was half the naked distance between hell and heaven's ceiling
And he almost pulled me under
Now someone's on the telephone, desperate in his pain
Someone's on the bathroom floor doing her cocaine
Someone's got his finger on the button in some room
No one can convince me we aren't gluttons for our doom
But I tried to make this place my place
I asked for providence to smile upon me with his sweet face
But I'll tell you
My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark
And I do not feel the romance I do not catch the spark
My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark
(by grace, my sight grows stronger)
And I do not feel the romance I do not catch the spark
(grows stronger)
By grace
(my place is of the sun)
My sight
(and this place is of the dark)
Is growing stronger
(I do not feel the romance)
I will not be a pawn
(I will not be)
For the prince of darkness any longer
(Prince of Darkness - Indigo Girls)

Well, some of that's crap.
Lazy? I work two jobs.
I'm certainly not more extroverted than introverted.
Not sure about engineering versus artistic, either.
Interesting (and happy) to see my attitudes placed firmly in the socialist workers group, despite being fairly well-paid these days.

14. Where did most of your money go? Not sure really. A lot went on moving out. I also seem to have spent an awful lot on Simon.
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about? Moving into my new home. Actually I'm still excited now!

37. Who was the best new person you met? I don't grade people for goodness sake. What an odd question.

39. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.
How I wish I could surrender my soul;
Shed the clothes that become my skin;
See the liar that burns within my needing.
How I wish I'd chosen darkness from cold.
How I wish I had screamed out loud,
Instead I've found no meaning.
I guess it's time I run far, far away; find comfort in pain,
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.
I've heard what they say, but I'm not here for trouble.
It's more than just words: it's just tears and rain.
How I wish I could walk through the doors of my mind;
Hold memory close at hand,
Help me understand the years.
How I wish I could choose between Heaven and Hell.
How I wish I would save my soul.
I'm so cold from fear.
I guess it's time I run far, far away; find comfort in pain,
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.
I've heard what they say, but I'm not here for trouble.
Far, far away; find comfort in pain.
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
It's more than just words: it's just tears and rain.
"Tears and Rain", James Blunt

| You Are Surrealism |
 Dreamy and idealistic, you've created a world that is all your own. It's very likely that you've either dabbled in drugs or are naturally trippy. You are always trying to push beyond the boundaries of your culture and society. You believe that art, love, and freedom can change the world. |

| ENTJ - Commandant You scored 54% I to E, 31% N to S, 66% F to T, and 26% J to P! |
| The single word to describe your type is fieldmarshal or commandant. You also belong to the larger group called rationals. You love to organize others in matters of logic. Even as a child, you likely naturally assumed the role of leader in groups. You share your personality type with 2% of the population. When you lead, you are more concerned with policy and goals than rules and regulations. You have a tendency to become a workaholic. You are impatient with repetition of error. You are friendly and outgoing, though. You don't mince words and willingly share your many strong opinions. As a romantic partner, you are inspiring, but also somewhat challenging. You have a strong desire to be in charge and your clear need for an organized life and home can be overwelming to a partner. You like to confront conflict directly, discuss problems unflinchingly, solve them, then put them behind you. However, you can be too impatient or unwilling to take the time to listen to your partner and give them a chance to express themselves fully so that they also have a sense of closure. You are generally uncomfortable dealing with emotions, so you are apt to dismiss your partner's emotions as illogical. You feel most appreciated when your partner asks for your opinions, takes your adivce, and relies on you to get a job done right. Your group summary: rationals (NT) Your type summary: ENTJ |
