hathycolI'm going to kill my sister. I would have done it already, but I'm currently debating weapon of choice. She will keep on having a go when I am holding pointy things.
Actually, more realistically, I'm trying not to just pack up my stuff and leave. It's more than feasible, and I'm *this* close to leaving. I'm just... argh. I can't put up with this for much longer.
On the bright side, I saw![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sevenhelz last night. And that was good and non-murderous.
1. What did you do in 2005 that you'd never done before?
Erm...
-Lived in Fife Park
-Worked in a kitchen
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
Well, I've given up smoking when drunk. I have also stuck to my resolve to be Less Of A Skanky Ho. I have done my washing nearly every week!
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
spacellama had two beautiful little girls, Emma and Hope.
4. Did anyone close to you die?
No.
5. What countries did you visit?
... Scotland?
6. What would you like to have in 2007 that you lacked in 2006?
Money security. A decent house. Gluten-free pasta.
7. What date from 2005 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
There is probably something really important I'm forgetting. My birthday was pretty awesome, but I tend to remember that date.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
I have not yet killed anyone. Temptation has been rife.
I suppose the real achievement would have been passing my first year pretty well. I've also become a hell of a lot better at managing my money. Possibly DocSoc?
9. What was your biggest failure?
That Spanish exam in January. Hoo-boy.
10.Did you suffer illness or injury?
Broke my fingers, but that's about it.

Sorry, you think I can afford to but stuff? Probably that dress I brought a few weeks back, I think.
12. Whose behaviour merited celebration?
Simon and Katie.
13. Whose behaviour made you depressed?
Oh, where to start... my mother and my sister, mostly.
14. Where did most of your money go?
St Andrews University, possibly one of the worst landlords known to man. Seriously, they're just like the slum lords from the Victorian era.
15. What events did you get really, really, really excited about?
Going back to university. Our Christmas meal this year. The Jesus College May Ball.
16. What song will always remind you of 2005?
Snow Patrol - You're All I Have
The Feeling - Fill My Little World
The Automatic - Monster

i.happier or sadder? Right now, sadder. Overall, about the same.

Worry about the future. Sod the present.
40. Sum up the year in a song lyric/quote
I say too much, it's not enough.
You know, I'll be the first to admit that this survey is probably a little skewed because I'm SO DAMNED PISSED OFF so everything just seems a bit crappy right now.
I want to go home to Scotland so much. I'm not coming back at Easter. I'll hurt people otherwise. Because, you see, there people will not consistently tell me that the most important thing is looking good, or that my problem with gluten is made up, or that every time I say something other people don't understand I'm showing off (or made me spend, basically, two hours re-writing someone else's essay because you see I'm only showing off when they don't want to use the fact I'M A DAMN SIGHT BETTER EDUCATED, not necessarily more intelligent, but I do know what people WANT in academia NOTE THE WAY I HAVE NOT FAILED AND DID MORE THAN THREE AS-LEVELS) or that I'm abnormal or asking me questions I don't want to answer to demanding to know what I'm doing at all times of day or night even when I'm just having a bath or putting down my friends and lifestyle and fiance and oh god I need to get out of here except oh wait this is the hole that is Ormskirk and there is NOTHING TO DO HERE.
You get the picture.

Date: 2006-12-29 11:48 pm (UTC)My brother, for christmas, got a wooden pointed letter opener. It is hellava sharp. It has one of two usages, the obvious vampire-killing stake (only really useful on the bloodsucking creatures of the night) and, my prefered option: the face-stabber.
I must never be allowed near it. Or to take it on public transport with me. The facestabby potential is too great a tempation.
In conclusion: Facestabbing. The C21st way of saying "you've really pissed me off". Who needs Hallmark?

Erm, I would be in St Andrews now, but I'm being forced to stay here over new year thanks to my mother giving me her flu.
I find this unfair cause now I get to spend tomorrow here, sober, alone and with no nookie!
