I love these things.

1. What did you do in 2007 that you'd never done before?
Where to start? Flew on a jet plane. Flew on any type of plane for more than half-an-hour. Visited Asia. Visited Sri Lanka. Visited Japan. Went clubbing. Worked as an English teacher. Lived in Tokyo. Lived alone. Met an Estonian. Met a Kentuckyian. Had octopus. Had natto. ...You get the picture.

2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I don't make new year's resolutions, but next year's will be Write A Novel.

3. Did anyone close to you give birth? Pfft, thankfully my friends aren't that old yet.

4. Did anyone close to you die? Thankfully not.

5. What countries did you visit?
Japan, Sri Lanka.

6. What would you like to have in 2008 that you lacked in 2007?
More money, a UCAS entry.

7. What date from 2007 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
October 2nd, I guess. Went to Japan.

8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Going to Japan. (Are you sensing a pattern?)

9. What was your biggest failure?
Certain... unpleasantness. I can never go back.

10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
Nothing serious, although I did develop this weird rash in Japan.

11. What was the best thing you bought?
My new camera, perhaps?

12. Whose behaviour merited celebration?
...I don't know?

13. Whose behaviour made you appalled and depressed?
Probably my own.

14. Where did most of your money go?
Well, I estimate I blew at least £2,500 in Japan, but it was worth it.

15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
...Japan?

16. What song will always remind you of 2007?
"No Cars Go", maybe? Dylan's "Song for Woody" will always remind me of being out there a thousand miles from my home, walkin' a road other men have gone down, and being wet and rained on in Nejime.

17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
i. happier or sadder? It's hard to judge by my Livejournal posts, because I don't give much away. I sound happier, but I think it's about the same.
.
ii. richer or poorer? Poorer. By a long, long way.

18. What do you wish you'd done more of? Going out with people in Japan.

19. What do you wish you'd done less of? I'd go for the obvious one of "sitting on my computer playing video games", but that would just be a lie.

20. How will you be spending Christmas? At home, surrounded by bickering family.

22. Did you fall in love in 2007? Possibly. Maybe it was just me being stupid and hopelessly romantic.

23. How many one-night stands? Ha! None.

24. What was your favourite TV program? Well, I got into Spaced, Charlie Brooker's Screen Wipe, and Peep Show in a big way, but they don't really count as 2007. Heroes?

25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year? I don't hate anyone. There were several people who... created problems, both home and away, but they're all behind me now.

26. What was the best book you read? After the Banquet and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? stand out.

27. What was your greatest musical discovery? Kudos to Jade for getting me into Plastic Tree/Polysics/Utada Hikaru and the rest. This year also saw me get into the Kings of Leon, and become more of a fan of the Arcade Fire and the Smashing Pumpkins. There was also Monkey Swallows the Universe, and a special mention must go out to Freezepop, who I still cannot get enough of.

28. What did you want and get? A trip to Japan.

29. What did you want and not get? An improved self. Which sounds corny, but I hoped going to Japan would turn me into an interesting, exciting, witty, debonair gentleman. It didn't. I'm still me, but what I did learn is that I can be happy with that. (Okay, that was corny, and mostly a lie.)

30. What was your favourite film of this year? Children of Men. Which doesn't count. What 2007 films did I see? It was a pretty shit year for films, full of half-hearted threequels. I mean sequels. Transformers gets an award for being surprisingly not shit, I guess.

30a. What was your favourite theatrical production of this year? Me? Go to the theatre? I think you have me confused with someone eminently more cultured.

31. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you? 19. It was the worst. I went to Akihabara alone, bought some camera filters that didn't fit and a video-in box that doesn't really work, and then got a phone call to tell me I had to leave Japan.

32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying? Hard to say. Maybe if I had a travelling companion in Japan.

33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2007? Jeans. T-shirt. Scaring small children.

34. What kept you sane? The Radio 4 Friday Night Comedy podcast.

35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most? Pfft, celebrities. Uh... There was the girl on the Berlitz adverts on the Yamanote line who was a beacon of pretty blonde stability in my crazy world.

36. What political issue stirred you the most? I'm sure there was something.

37. Who did you miss? I guess everyone back home.

38. Who was the best new person you met? I'd say Yamaguchi Sarah.

39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2007. Know thy limits.

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

"I'm out here a thousand miles from my home,
Walking a road other men have gone down.
I'm seeing your world of people and things
Your paupers, and peasants and princes and kings."

Last time I got The Boy Next Door.

The Mixed Messenger Deliberate Brutal Love Dreamer (DBLDm) Just...take...the...fucking...flower...darling. The Mixed Messenger apologizes again. You're looking for love, but you'll always maintain your independence. You're prepared for a real commitment, but it's also likely that you're ambitious, which creates a certain romantic tension and ambivalence within you. So although you can be very affectionate to someone, you are also capable of pulling some dubious shit. Your exact opposite: The Playboy Random Gentle Sex Master In a relationship, you're usually the emotional leader. With your friends, you're a little bit more part of the pack. You're well-liked but you're not the uninhibited type, so the spotlight's often on someone else. In both social and romantic situations, however, you almost always get what you want. Influencing people is something you do very well. ALWAYS AVOID: The Playstation, The Peach CONSIDER: The Priss Link: The 32-Type Dating Test by OkCupid - Free Online Dating.

Hmm. Well that seems pretty accurate. Sadly.

So my graphics card has arrived, and in true-Dabs style they sent it in a massive cardboard box. The card itself is huge.

So, in the last ten minutes of my PCs life before I blow it up, I did a love test thing. It's a well written test, and also hilarious (e.g. "If you have any STDs, go to Match.com.")

The Boy Next Door Random Gentle Love Dreamer (RGLDm) Kind, yearning, playful, you are The Boy Next Door. You're looking for real Love, a lot like girls do. It might not be manly, but it's sweet. We think the next three years will be very exciting and fruitful ones for you. Your spontaneous, creative side makes you a charming date, and we think you have a horny side just waiting to shine. Or glisten, rather. You enter new relationships unusually hopeful, and the first moments are especially glorious. If you've had some things not work out before, so what. Your exact opposite: The 5-Night Stand Deliberate Brutal Sex Master On paper, most girls would name the Boy Next Door as their ideal mate. In the real world, however, you're often passed over for more dangerous or masculine men. You're the typical "nice guy:" without just a touch of cockiness, you're doomed with girls. A shoulder to cry on? Okay, sure. But never a penis to hold. More than any other type, Boys Next Door evolve as they get older. As we said, many find true love, but some fail miserably in the search. These tarnished few grow up to be The Men Next Door, who are creepy as hell, offering backrubs to kids and what not.

December: HAPPIG BIRTHDAY HOLLIE

In the words of Homer Simpson:
"Hmph, must have been a pretty slow century."

A funny thing happened today. I was walking down Prince of Wales Road, the bit where the road goes across at a right angle joining Prince of Wales Road next to Domino's Pizza, and I got to said road going across, and I had to cross it. And just as I got to the edge of the pavement two sets of pedestrian crossings went green simultaneously. "That's lucky", I thought, and crossed. The second my feet hit the pavement on the other side the pedestrian crossings behind me went red simultaneously. "That's more than lucky", thought I.

Anyway. oooch pointed me towards a rather awesome trick for doing that mturk thang. And in about half-an-hour of gentle work I've made $3.64 an hour of rapid clicking I've made $8.80. That's something approaching minimum wage, for nowt but clicking.

I guess I'd better do this then:

1) Was 2005 a good year for you?
At the start I said "2005 looks like a year of ID card implementation and Will and Grace increasing their hold on prime-time sitcoms." It was kinda accurate. It's been an alright year overall.

Getting the girl (finally). Also discovering I didn't have testicular cancer. (The two events are not related, smut fans.)

3) What was your least favorite moment of the year?

[23:59:50] .matt. Note : KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN
[00:00:02] .matt. Note : SPLLSPSPLSLSPLSURT
[00:00:55] .matt. Note : the bombs are dropping
[00:05:02] Good Kitty |: hello
[00:05:12] Good Kitty |: the last thing I said in 2004 was "Hwe"
[00:05:21] Good Kitty |: which pretty much sums it up

Roper (on MSN), me mum (in real life)

Ooh. Er? Audioscrobbler suggests Meantime by the Futureheads, or Mr Brightside by the Killers. Wooo-eeee-oooooo woooo-eeeeee-ooooooo wooooo

25) What was your favorite record from 2005?

Realising someone liked me. (awww.)

38) What was your most embarrassing moment of 2005?
That time I was in the cinema and spilt Irn-Bru over myself? ...no that's not that embarrasing. Maybe I repressed all the bad ones.

39) If you could go back in time to any moment of 2005 and change something, what would it be?
Not run away from Megan that first time? But that would change the future, BTTF-stylee.

40) What are your plans for 2006?
To drive, to seek (higher grades), to find (a job), and not to yield.

Can I use HR? OK.

So I had school today. (oh this is so clichéed American Teenage Girl) And biology I sleepwalked through, and philosophy I slept through again. And poor Dr Frye was unable to take our final lesson. So I buggered off to the city. With a gap in my current game playing roster, I decided to buy something new. I found Call of Duty 2 for £20 - not too shabby - and I would have bought it if only the cash machine hadn't run out of money. In retrospect I'm glad I didn't. I loved the first Call of Duty, and the demo for the sequel was alrightl, but in the end it would probably just be a weekend's worth of satisfying but somewhat empty running about shooting Germans. Then I'd play the game. Having said that, the reviews are pretty positive. So one might find oneself buying it for Chrimbo. I got the original as a welcome surprise in... 2003. Which was nice.

So I went to GameStation, and I realised I have a GameCube gathering dust that I really should use. So I got SSX 3 and Tony Hawk's Underground 2 for cheap prices. Hooray for consoles!

Okay, so whut?

Must play more chess

Just saw this rather interesting programme on the lives of three Norfolk peoples affected by the war. Which was kinda touching. Oh I'm too romantic.

Pure Nerd 73 % Nerd, 39% Geek, 43% Dork

For The Record: A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia. A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one. A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions. You scored better than half in Nerd, earning you the title of: Pure Nerd. The times, they are a-changing. It used to be that being exceptionally smart led to being unpopular, which would ultimately lead to picking up all of the traits and tendences associated with the "dork." No-longer. Being smart isn't as socially crippling as it once was, and even more so as you get older: eventually being a Pure Nerd will likely be replaced with the following label: Purely Successful. Congratulations! Also, you might want to check out some of my other tests if you're interested in any of the following: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Professional Wrestling Love & Sexuality America/Politics Thanks Again! -- THE NERD?

BWAHAHAHAHA!

Your Personality Profile

You are sexy, powerful, and bold. You're full of passion and energy... Sometimes this passion has a dark side. You feel most alive when you're seducing someone. You never fail to get someone's attention. Quick minded, you're also quick to lose your temper!

Your Kissing Purity Score: 77% Pure

You've hardly ever been kissed But the kisses you've given are very missed

Your Brain's Pattern

You have a dreamy mind, full of fancy and fantasy. You have the ability to stay forever entertained with your thoughts. People may say you're hard to read, but that's because you're so internally focused. But when you do share what you're thinking, people are impressed with your imagination.

How You Are In Love

You take a while to fall in love with someone. Trust takes time. You tend to give more than take in relationships. You tend to get very attached when you're with someone. You want to see your love all the time. You love your partner unconditionally and don't try to make them change. You are fickle and tend to fall out of love easily. You bounce from romance to romance.

Ooh, complicated I am.

You Failed the US Citizenship Test

Nice.

you are whitesmoke #F5F5F5

Your dominant hue is red... you are passionate, energetic, and unafraid of life's changes. You're all about getting out and trying something new, even if it means taking risks that other people would be afraid of. Hey, if they're afraid and you're not, more power to you, right? Your saturation level is very low - you have better things to do than jump headfirst into every little project. You make sure your actions are going to really accomplish something before you start because you hate wasting energy making everyone else think you're working. Your outlook on life is bright. You see good things in situations where others may not be able to, and it frustrates you to see them get down on everything.

Er... did they actually use any of my answers? Because that doesn't sound like me at all. If I'm a colour, I'm more of a dark grey-blue.

Saw the 40 Year-Old Virgin today. You'd expect it to be 120 minutes of "lol you're a virgin" jokes but it was actually surprisingly sympathetic to the plight of Steve Carell, and most importantly it was actually very funny, unlike a certain other wedding-based romantic comedy this year. The ending was kinda silly, but I'll let it pass.

There was probably something else I was trying to remember but it doesn't really matter, probably.

Oh and I finally heard the new Franz Ferdinand single, several weeks after I should have been downloading the bootlegged MP3s of the new album. It's... eh. Time will tell. I do love the line dancing/holstered guitars bit in the video tho.

You scored as Severus Snape. Well you're a tricky one aren't you? Nobody quite has you figured out and you'd probably prefer it stayed that way. That said you are a formidable force by anyone's reckoning, but there is certainly more to you than a frosty exterior and a bitter temper. </td> Severus Snape 85% Albus Dumbledore 80% Hermione Granger 75% Ron Weasley 70% Sirius Black 65% Remus Lupin 65% Draco Malfoy 60% Ginny Weasley 55% Lord Voldemort 45% Harry Potter 20% Your Harry Potter Alter Ego Is...? created with QuizFarm.com

I think my overwhelming tendancy to betray my friends led to the 20% Harryness.

Crikey, I just realised how full of shit/bad grammar/your instead of you're/"effing awsum pics!"/CAPS LOCK/stupid people/badly-done quizzes/annoying AOLers QuizFarm is.

You scored as WASHINGTON. WASHINGTON IS AWESOME FOR YOU! </td> WASHINGTON 42% California 33% WYOMING 33% FLORIDA 33% NEW YORK 33% NEVADA 25% UTAH 8% LOUISIANA 8% What state should you live in? created with QuizFarm.com

Ah, the... er... ...I'm struggling to think of anything interesting about Washington State. Er... Valve are based there. Kurt Cobain died there, according to my world famous Map of American Deaths (also featuring Gram Parsons, Mykel+Carli, and Abe Lincoln.)

You scored as Doug. </td> Doug 100% Legends of the Hidden Temple 58% Kablam! 50% Clarissa Explains It All 50% Ren & Stimpy 33% Are You Afraid of the Dark? 33% Rugrats 33% The Adventures of Pete and Pete 33% Rocko's Modern Life 25% The Secret World of Alex Mack 17% Double Dare 17% Which Old School Nickelodeon Show Are You? created with QuizFarm.com

Whoa. Didn't expect that. Oh well, Doug is cool, if slightly odd and possibly Belgian.

You scored as Form V: Shien. Form V is a powerful style developed by Form III practitioners that preferred a more offensive angle. The defensive nature of Form III dangerously prolonged combat. The maxim "peace through superior firepower," encompasses the philosophy of Form V, also called the "Way of the Krayt Dragon." Anakin and Luke Skywalker are both practitioners of Form V. Form V focuses a bit on having defensive skills, but channelling defence into offence. The example is commonly used that while Form III combatants effortlessly deflect laser bolts, Form V practitioners excel at redirecting the laser bolt toward the opponent. </td> Form V: Shien 72% Form VI: Niman 69% Form VII: Juyo/ Vaapaad 67% Form II: Makashi 56% Form III: Soresu 39% Form IV: Ataru 34% Which Lightsaber form would you use? created with QuizFarm.com

I think I used Juyo in KOTORII. Oh well. Sounds cool.
