So I dug up my old livejournal.com account (neomeus and chibiwebel) and I'm going to take two surveys and see how they are different from each other. Fun times!!
So yeah.. the first one in black is the original from 2003 - I was still in High School... 17 years old. Ones in Blue are from 2006 - I was a sophomore in college and 20. My new answers are from now... and will be in yellow..
What did you do in 2003 that you'd never done before? Ice-skated, first boyfriend, a monologue, WENT TO DISNEY!!!!!!!, filmed a movie about a rock O_o... yeah... lol
Sang with a band that wasn't school related, a relationship, and sang at a wedding.
Taught brass instruments, went to Coney Island, went to a Harry Potter convention, tried a whole bunch of food (well you know... I've posted about most of those experiences here. And yes, in 2003 I made a movie about my pet rock... it was a Christmas movie. He journeyed through lands, seas, met LOTRs characters, and then finally found Jesus at the North Star. >_<)
Did you keep your New Year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year? Some I actually did. I think I became a bit more myself and a bit more open... went to a place I've never been to before. Look above.. I wrote them for ya.
Well, I always make the weight one, I stayed pretty constant since the beginning of the year... I'm keeping the "Loose weight/get fit one" and also practice/study more efficiently.
Well... I certainly tried more new things this year... and went to some places I've never been this year as well. As I still have the "get fit goal." 2012 is my year for that to happen! BTW: I need to come up with different New Year's resolutions.. haha.
Did anyone close to you give birth? Mrs. M did! No. No.
Did anyone close to you die? My Pop-pop's friend, Eleanor... she was a very cool lady. I thought she was very spunky for her age! Not to me, but to a few loved ones. Aunt Mollie.
What countries did you visit? Disney World ^_^ and all the countries they have there. America.... but ITALY in 2007! (Hopefully) So... Italy didn't happen (sad face,) but my answer is still the same.
What would you like to have in 2004 that you lacked in 2003? a license, more independence... not worry so much about minute things. concentration... >_< More self-motivation. All of the above... and to exercise more and not have so many long distance relationships.
What dates from 2003 will remain etched upon your memory, and why? March 15th(ish) - Guys and Dolls, March 30th ^_^, the whole month of April into may - Godspell!, July 6th-12th - DISNEY WORLD/Orlando ^_^, Hershey Trip #1, the whole Talking With experience then the performances, Nov. 26th - Chicago concert!, Thanksgiving, December 13th - NYC trip (Hairspray!), December 18th - LOTR!, Semi-Formal... Party time at my house... pretty good year. Umm.. dates = bad... so I will give the dates names: Matt Nathanson Day, the Power Outage Night, Vivace! Camp, Pirates Night (Morning), The Day before my Birthday, the Disney Marathon with Gilman day, Band Banquet Night, Sing for the Drunks with the Swing Kings day, Go to Hershey Park with Riss, Trish, and Sarah day, Kappa/TBS Districts, District Days ... just to name a few. July 4th (Fireworks in nyc), Oct 17 (seeing Hanson), August 6th (Seeing Daniel Radcliffe in H2$ and stage dooring and meeting him.) Nov 22-28 (Disney World!).. there's more, I just can't think of them.
What was your biggest achievement of the year? making and performing in Godspell... but I think even a bigger achievement was in Talking With... I was so worried about that. Doing well in the Sophomore scholarship competition... performing for a group of people classically for the first time while being judge... I performed last.. a lot of time for my nerves to just be the size of a galactic watermelon. Godspell is such a fond memory of mine. Goodness. My biggest achievement of the year? Embracing my nerdiness. Seriously... I'm very comfortable with myself now.
What was your biggest failure? procratination... as usual. And getting caught up in the small things. Not making Dean's List this semester... stupid Psychology. But the next semester seems promising. I'd say 2003 me and now me have the same failure.... although I've always had this failure.

Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed? ?? Celeb-wise: Michael Jackson EWW!, Brit/Madonna/Christina ewww!, Paris Hilton ewww!, and Elijah... why did you show your Fellowship tatoo! You're not suppose to do that! (I'm bad) no comment. Okay, I just had a good laugh at these answers. Umm... mostly, the Republican Presidential candidates.
Where did most of your money go? Disney, clothes.. I think I'm more fashionable now. My Little and towards the appartment. Trips.... mostly NYC... but trips in general.

Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2006: Remember who you are... and don't change for anyone, because they'll accept you for you who are. When opportunities don't come your way, make them. Also, learn to trust.
Quote a song lyric that sums up your year."Drench yourself in words unspoken, live your life with arms wide open, today is where your book begins, the rest is still unwritten." - Natasha Beddingfield - "Unwritten"
"Jump start my kaleidoscope heart. Love to watch the colors fade. They may not make sense, but they sure as hell made me. I won't go as a passenger, no, waiting for the road to be laid. Though I may be going down, I'll take in flame over burning out. Compare where you are to where you want to be and you'll get nowhere." - Sara Bareilles "Uncharted"
Wow, blast from the past. 2012... I hope you prove to be as exciting as people speculate just minus the whole "2012" thing.
So here's a toast to 2011: Cheers!
And here's a toast to 2012: Salute!
