Not this year, fortunately.

Nah. It's too exhausting, truth be told.
21. Did you read any new books. If so which did you like best?
2014 was the time for graphic novels for me... I did this thing called "book roulette". I'd go on pick up a book on Amazon that I wanted, as well as two books that it recommended to me, whether or not I'd heard of them. I got to read SO many cool books because of it!! I think my favorite had to be "Beautiful Darkness". So beautiful but so messed up. Just so, so messed up.
22. What was your greatest musical discovery?
Oh gosh... The one hit wonders lists on Wikipedia is amazing to look through. Highly recommended if you're bored.
23. What did you want and get?
This is so silly and trivial, but a backpack. And I ended up getting one from work as thanks for the hard work I did though the year. It was such a small gesture, but I'd really wanted one for a while, and I'd spent close to two years wanting that backpack in particular. Those things are status symbols lol.
24. What did you want and not get?
A car

What DID I do this year?... Oh! I spent my actual birthday with my family, but went out with friends, too. I couldn't do too much too far away from home because my niece was actually -due- that day.

27. What is one thing that would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
