Yay! I know this is silly, but I remember looking back at previous years entries on old idkfa and being grateful that there was some record of my exact headspace at the turning of the year.

1. What did you do in 2010 that you'd never done before? Moved cross-country.

2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year? I did, I think. I don't generally make them, but last year I was pretty successful at it.

3. Did anyone close to you give birth? I guess not.

4. Did anyone close to you die? Bea Arthur. I did go to a lot of funerals, though.

5. What countries did you visit? Huh, none! Not even Canada.

6. What would you like to have in 2011 that you lacked in 2010? Well, a job would be a start. An equity card. An agent.

7. What date from 2010 will remain etched upon your memory, and why? Sept. 25- moving day!

8. What was your biggest achievement of the year? MDing at a pro house, moving, finishing up the MDing at the church.

9. What was your biggest failure? Communication with friends who I'm not geographically near, I'd say.

10. Did you suffer illness or injury? I finally fixed my bad problems early in the year.

11. What was the best thing you bought? Clearly my accordion.

12. Whose behavior merited celebration? A couple of my SF friends made some really impressive and adult strides in their careers.

13. Whose behavior made you appalled? My NY friends are so flakey, it kills me.

14. Where did most of your money go? Into my bank account. Boo-ya.

15. What did you get really, really, really excited about? Moving, coming to Alaska, boys.

16. What song will always remind you of 2010? The entire City and Colour album. That was kind of my AK soundtrack this summer.

17. Compared to this time last year, are you:

- i. happier or sadder? This remains to be seen.

- ii. thinner or fatter? Thinner.

- iii. richer or poorer? Somehow richer.

18. What do you wish you'd done more of? Practice, of course. Also, writing and reading.

19. What do you wish you'd done less of? Surfing the net.

20. How did you spend Christmas? Working at churches, then playing music for old people with my sister, then eating so much Indian food that we almost vomit.

22. Did you fall in love in 2010? This also remains to be seen.

23. How many one-night stands? Er, depends on how you count it, but one or two.

24. What was your favorite TV program? OMG I found Party Down which was life changing. And rewatched Battlestar. And discovered It's Always Sunny.

25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year? Nope.

26. What was the best book you read? I enjoyed Never Let Me Go. Really liking Spot of Bother which I'm reading now.

27. What was your greatest musical discovery? City and Colour. Miniature Tigers. Janelle Monae. Got way into Sufjan, too. And kind of rediscovered Regina Spektor.

28. What did you want and get? Adventure, time with friends and family, a beautiful apartment in the greatest city in the world.

29. What did you want and not get? Regular work in NY.

30. What was your favorite film of this year? Didn't really see many. Inception, of course, is up there.

31. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you? 26, and not much. Little celebrations with different people over a weekend.

32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying? Some big NY job, but in time I'm optimistic about this.

33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2010? Early in the year, lots of vaguely adultish looking collared shirts. For the summer, ugly uniform. Lately? Not nearly as cool as everyone else in NY.

34. What kept you sane? The TBTL podcast, strangely.

35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most? Broadway boys: Gavin Creel, Andrew K-B, Cheyenne.

36. What political issue stirred you the most? None. I was weirdly a-political. Didn't really care much about the healthcare bill, the election, or even DADT.

37. Who did you miss? The people who are where ever I'm not. Like now, everyone in SF and ANC.

38. Who was the best new person you met? James.

39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2010: Truth takes time.

40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:

You're young until you're not

You love until you don't

You try until you can't

You laugh until you cry

You cry until you laugh

And everyone must breathe

Until their dying breath"
