DAMN YOU!!! *just clicked Edit, and was denied* Sticking out tongue

cantdecide 24 December, 2005 - 6:35pm
BRYAN/BRYAN WON!! XD

*fills out Shonee's Year-Review for my blog*

On a scale of 1-10, 2005 was how good: Which one's the best? Tui said 7 and Luvz said 3-4 - both aren't depressing people. Sticking out tongue Whatever's the best. Smiling I always feel happy during Christmas and New Year's though, so it's really unfair to rate the WHOLE YEAR now. I might have thought differently during the exams. Sticking out tongue

Craziest thing I did in 2005: Dunno. I do lots of mildly crazy things ... but not singing in a mall. Sticking out tongue I guess ... during Camp, accepting the Double Dare to ask for a tampon from another cabin. And that's not hard - I still cheated though, I told the girls in the cabin it was a dare. *grins* I'm sucha chicken.

Naughtiest thing I did in 2005: I'm not naughty. :angel: The naughtiest would be .... nothing. Going on Idolblog too much? No ... going out with a group to watch Wallace and Gromit with a group that had GUUYYYS in it? But my mummy knew about that. She just misunderstood me and thought only one guy was going. :| So that isn't naughty either.

Highlight of 2005: Talking to el boyfriend.

I'M KIDDING.

I don't know. Little things make me the happiest - I remember being very happy, but not what caused it most of the time. Smiling

Lowlight of 2005: Hm. I don't know - being depresssed for a whole day after my theory exam? [I passed with 2 marks to spare - but I didn't know that then].... that would be the only time [that I can remember of] I felt sad because it wasn't something I ... did. Most of the time, they're little things that I do. But I don't get depressed much anyway ... I usually just keep it inside till I burst. *cheerfully*  OH I FORGOT - the biggest thing that made me sad this year would be my Option Clash. *sadly* Such a problem. :'(

Biggest surprise of 2005: Tickets to NZ Idol? I don't get surprised often.

In 2005, for the first time I: Did NCEA exams. Clothes shopped without my mummy. :'( And other stuff that I can't remember. *frown*

New tradition of 2005: Going to the beach more often during Summer 05 and definitely going to the movies more. :|

Stupidest thing I did in 2005: Something I did .... hm. Something to do with overreacting, probably. I tend to do that.

On a scale of 1-10, 2005 was how good: Which end's bigger? 7ish if 10's higher.

Craziest thing I did in 2005: Sang Happy Birthday micced onstage in a shopping mall.

Naughtiest thing I did in 2005: My parents don't like me going out alone with el boyfriend, they're always like "GO WITH A GROUP!!" and I'm like "ARGH", so what do I do on the last day of school? Dump Zsofi on our other friends and go off with him for the arvo before meeting up with everyone else for Gilmore Girls night... They still haven't found out I don't think.

Highlight of 2005: *resists the urge to get really sappy*

Lowlight of 2005: Always being grounded and missing several friends' birthday parties and other stuff.

Biggest surprise of 2005: Passing all my exams with Excellence or round about there, getting FREE!! tickets to Idolised completely out of the blue.

New tradition of 2005: Going to the interchange then the train station afterschool.

Stupidest thing I did in 2005: I tried to busk singing Michelle Branch's Everywhere a capella. What do I do when it gets to the guitar solo? Try to sing it.
