 Response to:
2007 Sum up survey - you want to take it! by Sian
1) Was 2007 a good year for you?
Eh, it was quite unremarkable, except for the last bit. Musically it was good.
2) What was your favorite moment of the year?
There were a few things...going on a date with a guy I actually wanted to go out with (even if it didn't go the way I wanted it to...  )...playing with my teacher in the Christmas Concert at the Blanton museum... the spontaneous Portuguese-soup-induced chamber music jam session before last semester ended <3... m
3) What was your least favorite moment of the year?
Probably a party I went to...where I admitted some things I should have just kept to myself >_>...and my silly crying session at the end of Spring 07 semester.
4) What are your plans for 2008?
Plans? Playing my junior recital, for one.
I'm also going to try and make it over to Germany to visit my cousins before they move from there. Hopefully in addition to participating in a summer festival there.
5) What countries did you visit?
...Mexico? Briefly? That's it.
6) What date in 2007 will remain etched in your memory?
February/Valentine's Day.
It was the first time I've been given flowers for that wretched holiday  .
7) What was your biggest achievement of the year?
PASSING CLASS PIANO.
UGHHHHH.
8) What was your biggest failure?
Getting a lousy grade in World Lit. WTF? I'm a literature nut...but unfortunately I didn't have a lot of time to devote to the classwork  .
9) Did you suffer any illness or injury?
Nothing major.
10) What was the best thing you bought?
My new MP3 player, I suppose.
11) Who's behaviour made you appalled and depressed?
Well, my roommate's behavior didn't appall me, but it made me sad for her...
12) Where did most of your money go?
Food and general living expenses.
13) What did you get really really really excited about?
ACLfest, the Miro' Quartet's Light & Darkness concerts, playing chamber music.
14) What songs will always remind you of 2007?
Hmm. I honestly don't know... nothing really strikes me for this year.
15) Compared to this time last year are you:
a) Fatter or thinner? About the same, maybe slightly thinner.
b) Happier or sadder? Happier, definitely.
c) Richer or poorer? About the same...
16) What do you wish you'd done more of?
Drawing and reading, my two greatest loves outside of music
17) What do you wish you'd done less of?
Maybe I should cut back on the partying/eating out with friends.
Not because of the friends, but because it keeps me out until 1am or later(earlier) and that is detrimental to my practice schedule.
18) How did you spend Christmas?
With my family in California.
19) Which GFFer did you meet for the first time?
I think I had already met Dullenplain before 2007... I haven't met any others in person (yet).
20) Did you fall in love in 2007?
Hahaha... hardly.
21) How many one night stands?
none.
22) What was your favourite TV show?
I don't get around to watching TV much these days... but I watched a bit of House and enjoyed it.
23) Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
No... I don't hate a lot.
24) What was/were the best books you read?
I guess...out of the like, 2 books I finished, The Golden Ass was pretty good.
25) What was your greatest musical discovery?
The way my mind works when I perform music live. I do some sort of 'image block' reading instead of actually reading the notes... a form of de-focusing...which reduces my playing quality and makes me more nervous. So I'm working to fix that.
26) What did you want and get?
Gigs
New MP3 player that was .ogg compatible.
More orchestral playing experience.
27) What did you want and not get?
A car.
28) What was your favourite film this year?
I didn't really like most of the films I saw.
Hairspray was good, I suppose.
29) What did you do on your birthday and how old were you?
I went to the oldest Indian restaurant in Austin with my parents and a few of my really close friends on my 22nd birthday.
30) What one thing would have made your year more satisfying?
Having something come out of the reason for me getting roses on Valentine's Day.
31) How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2007?
It wasn't personal -- several friends forcefully dragged me out of my old standard of jeans-and-a-bandshirt everyday attire and into "girl's clothing."
I started wearing girl jeans (!)
I showed quite a lot of cleavage... 
32) What kept you sane?
Moving to a new apartment.
33) Which celebrity did you fancy the most?
Matt Bellamy (always comes back when I see him live!)
Jonathan Rhys-Myers!
34) Which political issue stirred you the most?
Nothing really stirs me up. Just the standard, "can we stop this war shit already?" complaint that is normal these days for most Americans (with a brain).
35) Who did you miss?
My friends from California, and the friends that graduated after Spring '07.
36) Did you treat somebody badly in 2007?
I try not to do that, but I feel like I did when my friend's boyfriend committed suicide and I wasn't around for support.
37) Did somebody treat you badly in 2007?
Nobody really does.
38) Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned this year?
It really helps to pay your bills on time  .
39) Quote a song lyric that sums up your year...
"Oh my God I can't believe it, I've never been this far away from home..."
But that's my quote for every year, to be honest .
