blueskywonder because I'm a lowdown dirty rotten thief.
1. What did you do in 2004 that you'd never done before?
I went to California
2. Did you keep your new year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I had one resolution and I kept it. I won't be making any this year, I don't think.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
No.
4. Did anyone close to you die?
I was getting close to the Grandmother Unit, or at least I thought so.
5. What countries did you visit?
California, which is technically not part of Dumbfuckistan.
6. What would you like to have in 2005 that you lacked in 2004?
More money
7. What date from 2004 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
22 March because that's when I had my gastric bypass surgery.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Losing over 100 pounds.

Still being in debt.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
I had bronchitis in February.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
My laptop.
12. Whose behaviour merited celebration?
Aunt Tudi, after having to endure the ultimate passive-aggressive attack under extreme circumstances. I was quite proud of her, even though she finally snapped under the pressure, but only briefly.
13. Whose behaviour made you appalled and depressed?
The crazy aunt's. When she began scavenging the Grandmother Unit's wardrobe before the GU had even perished, I was pretty much certain that I needed to distance myself from her.

To travel and protein supplements.
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
