Ok, stolen from Eve, who stole from Caraxus, here are some questions i’m going to answer…
1. What did you do in 2003 that you’d never done before?
Committed to something. Anything.
2. Did you keep your new years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
Yes I did actually. I promised myself i’d work on getting my shit together. This year (overall) has been good in that sense. I’m as happy as i’ve probably ever been.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Within the second degree of seperation, yes. Immediate family/friends, no.
4. Did anyone close to you die?
No, thank goodness.
5. What countries did you visit?
None, just interstate a few times.
6. What would you like to have in 2004 that you lacked in 2003?
More of the same really. Friends, family and work that I care about.
7. What date from 2003 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
About 3 days, but i’m not going to reveal the details. They were bitter-sweet on so many levels.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Starting the journey to finding myself, and getting a decent distance of the journey.
9. What was your biggest failure?
Not spending time with Eve when I was down in Sydney. She deserved better than what I gave her, and I have promised myself that I will make it up to her.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
None, thank goodness.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
Without a doubt, my air conditioning unit. Now this is not to be pretentious. I can’t explain to you all how badly I suffer from the heat, so this was a blessing.
12. Whose behaviour merited celebration?
Eve. She pushed herself on so many levels and has come leaps and bounds. I’m proud of her and i’m lucky to have her in my life. (She also knows she can now live with less than 10 hours sleep :))
13. Whose behaviour made you appalled and depressed?
Mine.
14. Where did most of your money go?
One Word: Alcohol.
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
Meeting Eve. Meeting the STL kids.
16. What song will always remind you of 2003?
Let me get back to you, i’ve been drinking and can’t remember the name 
17. Compared to this time last year, are you happier or sadder?
Infinitely happier.
ii. thinner or fatter?
I’ve put on weight.. this will change in the new year
iii. richer or poorer?
So so much richer (not financially though). It’s been a good year for growth.
18. What do you wish you’d done more of?
Seen Eve and the rest of the kids.
19. What do you wish you’d done less of?
Worrying about minor issues.
20. How will you be spending Christmas?
With family and friends. Jetskiing wherever possible and engaging in debaucherous activities on many many occassions.
22. Did you fall in love in 2003?
Just once.
23. How many one night stands?
None, not really my gig.
24. What was your favourite TV programme?
I really didn’t watch T.V this year. Australian Idol got the most watching time, but only because I did all my ironing on a Sunday night.
25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn’t hate this time last year?
I’m not into hating people. I can be frustrated at times, but I refuse to stoop to their level.
26. What was the best book you read?
I’ve read appallingly little this year so I’m not going to say.
27. What was your greatest musical discovery?
My influences this year were from Eve, so just about everything she’s introduced me to i’ve liked. (thanks babe)
28. What did you want and get?
Great job, great friends.
29. What did you want and not get?
Love of my life.
30. What was your favourite film of this year?
hmmmm.. it’s also been a bad year for movies, so I can’t really say.
31. What did you do on your birthday?
Spent time with loved ones.
32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
Having all the people I love in the one city!
33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2003?
non-existent…. this will change upon my holiday trip to Sydney in February
34. What kept you sane?
Chats with Eve. Mid-week outings with friends.
35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
Dido.. babe.. great singer.
36. What political issue stirred you the most?
Not really into the political thing.
37. Who did you miss?
Those who are no longer in my life.
38. Who was the best new person you met?
Eve, followed closely by all the new friends i’ve made.
39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2003.
That change is scary but positive, being flexible isn’t a dirty word. (stolen from Eve)
40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.
There will be no white flag upon my door.
ps - Sorry babe. Not quite sure why i’m being a dickhead. Hope to talk soon.
