This is a Christmas present a friend of mine sent me because he knows how much I love filling out forms (thanks Mike!). And I have to say that this is one of the better survey things i've filled out. Anyone else interested in filling it out is welcome to, I love reading them just as much as I love filling them in.

31. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
i turned 24, went to atlantic city and ate as much tiramisu as I could handle.
32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
All in all it was a pretty satisfying year, but i guess i wish that i could have started my future plans a little sooner, I'm not very patient about them.
33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2005?simple, normally jeans and some kind of t-shirt or sweater
34. What kept you sane?
having the dog home with me during the day so i talk to her instead of myself all the time, and listening to jars of clay
35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
what does this mean by "fancy"? does this mean someone I had a crush on? because my answer is probably Scarlet Johansson... but i certainly dont have a crush on her. I've jsut liked her as an actress ever since I saw her in Ghost World (which has nothing to do with 2005, but it's how I choose to answer the question anyway), which is probably because i feel like I was her character (when I was in high school) and I just relate to that whenever i see her for some reason.

i guess the war in iraq
37. Who did you miss?
all my friends who are no longer in this area
