What did you do in 2013 that you\u2019d never done before?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I was able to say good-bye to a friend, finally. \u00a0Went\u00a0<a href=\\\"http:\/\/www.mosaiculturesinternationales.ca\/en\/\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\">Mosa\u00efcultures\u00a0internationales<\/a>, which was something extraordinary. \u00a0Checked out <a href=\\\"http:\/\/www.montrealenlumiere.com\/home.aspx\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\">nuit blanche<\/a>, <a href=\\\"http:\/\/www.bonjourquebec.com\/qc-en\/events-directory\/festival-special-event\/fete-des-neiges-de-montreal_429479.html\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\">fete de neige<\/a>, the Montreal ice hotel\/village, was part of a live audience for a taping at a Just For Laughs gala, seen <a href=\\\"http:\/\/www.debradigiovanni.com\/\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\">Debra DiGiovani \u00a0<\/a>\u00a0(She\\&#8217;s hilar in real life, I promise). \u00a0Celebrated a non smoking anniversary (one year baby, working on a second!). \u00a0Seen pink in concert, not once but twice!<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Did you keep your new year\u2019s resolutions, and will you make more for next year?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here\\&#8217;s the thing about resolutions. \u00a0We all make them and usually break them and feel like a total failure. \u00a0Why do we always need to wait until the end of the year to write a new chapter? \u00a0There\\&#8217;s 365 days in the damn year, own that shit! \u00a0Write a new page every damn day. \u00a0You don\\&#8217;t need to write a new chapter, sometimes all you need to write is a poem.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Did anyone close to you give birth?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sure did!<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Did anyone close to you die?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yep.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. What countries did you visit?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This question always depresses me. \u00a0I never get to go anywhere good because I am always, seemingly poor. \u00a0I REALLY need to rectify this problem.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. What would you like to have in 2014 that you lacked in 2013?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ohh less stress, less debt, less housework!<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. What dates from 2013 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I don\\&#8217;t know the exact date, but I know it was in Sept. \u00a0Julie (Jason\\&#8217;s mom) was kind enough to send me some of Jason\\&#8217;s ashes and I was able to finally say goodbye to him. \u00a0I finally found peace within my soul, something I had not had for a very long time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Registering for school, putting a dent in my debt and doing the things i\\&#8217;ve been meaning to do.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9. What was your biggest failure?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Not finding a better paying job.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10. Did you suffer illness or injury?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nothing too major.<\/p>\n<p><strong>11. What was the best thing you bought?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A sexy new camera for school.<\/p>\n<p><strong>12. Whose behavior merited celebration?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mine, because you know what? \u00a0No one is going to celebrate you quite like you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Someone\\&#8217;s mother, who shall remain nameless (not my own).<\/p>\n<p><strong>14. Where did most of your money go?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bills, concert tickets, stuff for school.<\/p>\n<p><strong>15.

Compared to this time last year, are you: a) happier or sadder? b) thinner or fatter? c) richer or poorer?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Happier, fatter and rich in some ways (non monetary) and poor when it comes to actual money<\/p>\n<p><strong>18. What do you wish you\u2019d done more of?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Gone to see and do more when the weather was nice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>19. What do you wish you\u2019d done less of?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ordered in. \u00a0All this take out and extravagant eating is not helping my fat ass out any and it certainly isn\\&#8217;t helping my bank account.<\/p>\n<p><strong>20. How did you spend Christmas?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With my darling boyfriend for the first time since last year we couldn\\&#8217;t be together and my family in Ontario. \u00a0It was awesome as usual.<\/p>\n<p><strong>21. Did you fall in love in 2013?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Every day!<\/p>\n<p><strong>22. What was your favorite TV program?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Grey\\&#8217;s, two broke girls<\/p>\n<p><strong>23.

What was the best book you read?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ugh that\\&#8217;s a tough call, I read so many good one\\&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p><strong>25. What was your greatest musical discovery?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Oh I don\\&#8217;t know about that, nothing really stands out for me. \u00a0Which is pretty sad in it\\&#8217;s own way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>26. What did you want and get?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A new camera (pro series)<\/p>\n<p><strong>27. What did you want and not get?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A raise.<\/p>\n<p><strong>28.

What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Not being in debt.<\/p>\n<p><strong>31. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2012?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Plain, casual with some more amped up color for a change. \u00a0Although due to going out more, i\\&#8217;ve had to acquire more fancier attire.<\/p>\n<p><strong>32. What kept you sane?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Art.<\/p>\n<p><strong>33. Which celebrity\/public figure did you fancy the most?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Russell Brand.<\/p>\n<p><strong>34.

Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2013.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That those who can take you for granted can and in fact will.<\/p>\n<p><strong>38.
