1. What did you do in 2008 that you'd never done before? Got stuck on a plane. Jailbroke an iPhone. Witnessed a Bar Mitzvah of a relative as opposed to a friend. Took a weekend to the City (across the ocean). Watched a movie with an Internet friend (Speed Racer with [livejournal.com profile] damienroc). Toured a video game company office (courtesy the same).

2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year? I didn't officially make any new years resolutions, but this year I've vowed to up the amount of musical stuff I do.

3. Did anyone close to you give birth? Friends of friends.

4. Did anyone close to you die? No, thankfully.

5. What countries did you visit? The usual; France/Germany/USA.

6. What would you like to have in 2009 that you lacked in 2008? A sense of stability.

7. What date from 2008 will remain etched upon your memory, and why? April 6th/7th, and the reason is redacted.

8. What was your biggest achievement of the year? Also redacted.

9. What was your biggest failure? And yet further still redacted. We'll say it happened in May and that's about all I care to remember.

10. Did you suffer illness or injury? Nothing in particular.

11. What was the best thing you bought? Rock Band 2 or an HDTV. The jury's out on this one.

12. Whose behavior merited celebration? Chris and Smilja got married, which is always celebration-worthy.

13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed? Not touching this one with a ten-foot pole.

14. Where did most of your money go? Onto things too frivolous to name. Okay, maybe I should list that as my biggest failure.

15. What did you get really, really, really excited about? Rock Band 2 and downloadable content, and that really hasn't changed all that much.

16. What songs will always remind you of 2008? Alex Chilton, because I'd not heard it before Rock Band 2.

17. Compared to this time last year, are you...
i. happier or sadder? I honestly couldn't tell you.
ii. thinner or fatter? About the same.
iii. richer or poorer? Also about the same.

18. What do you wish you'd done more of? Stopped to smell the flowers.

19. What do you wish you'd done less of? Not keeping in touch with my family.

20. How did you spend Christmas Break? I'm still on it, but Christmas itself was spent at home in a quiet dinner with friends.

Even though this survey's been around since at least 2003, there is still no question 21.

22. Did you fall in love in 2008? I think I did.

23. How many one night stands? As I stated earlier this week to someone else, "I play for keeps, not to win." Which is probably why I hadn't won much last year.

24. What was your favourite TV program? Chuck and Pushing Daisies.

25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year? No.

26. What was the best book you read? I read books?

27. What was your greatest musical discovery? Alex Chilton, by The Replacements. I haven't actually heard Alex Chilton, the man, at all.

28. What did you want and get? Lots of material stuff.

29. What did you want and not get? A win.

30. What was your favorite film of this year? Iron Man. TDK was good, but at the same time, it just didn't have Iron Man beat for fun and spectacle.

31. What did you do on your birthday? Chinese restaurant dinner, drinks at DaVinci.

32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying? *whistles innocently*

33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2008? Same as last year. Tee, jeans. A proper nightclub shirt, but only one thus far.

34. What kept you sane? I don't think this is a valid question for this year.

35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most? Yvonne Strahovski. I mean, seriously.

36. What political issue stirred you the most? *cough* I think there were plenty of stirring political issues.

37. Who did you miss? Too many people to list.

38. Who was the best new person you met? Audrey, the Wonder Intern.

39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2008. Sometimes, it's good to check your SMS messages before you go to sleep.

40. Quote a song lyric that sums up 2008. You live, you learn. You love, you learn. You cry, you learn. You lose, you learn.

I guess that means there will be a "Director's Cut" of this meme at one point. ;)

Is it okay to ask what was the reason you got stuck on a plane?

Saint Sylvester brought lots of snow in just before my plane took off.

Also, snakes.
