2005 meme
Okay, this was originally a 2003 meme gacked from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
m_l_h but I've changed it so it's for this year ;)
1. What did you do in 2005 that you'd never done before?
Went away to Romania for 2 weeks with the young teens n' 20s to build houses as part of Habitat for Humanity; very worthwhile & purposeful experience :)
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I have a feeling it was to eat less chocolate but I say that every year. Really need to do it this year because there's gonna be 2 family weddings this coming summer I've to go to & I don't wanna go looking like a beached whale, so I'll need to get into better shape too!

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

England, Ireland, Wales, Hungary & Romania.
6. What would you like to have in 2006 that you lacked in 2005?
A significant other...
7. What date from 2005 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
Probably the banter with the teens from church at every mealtime in Romania & having a laugh with Paul McGann in Cardiff. :D Also Christmas & Boxing Day up at my cousins where I was laughing so hard my throat hurt!

Getting into the 2 year HND course for Animal Management I'm doing at the moment.

Probably failing my GCSE Maths exam, again for like the 4th attempt at repeating it - I just can't do it!!
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
Yep; really wrecked my back in October - turned out I twisted my pelvis & had to go to the chiropractor x3 to get it fixed. It really hurt, like someone was stabbing the lower part of my back every time I tried to move.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
Probably an 8th Doctor novel when I went to Cardiff & got it signed by Paul McGann, so it's personalized - I've yet to read it though! 0_0

Probably the girls from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif){kind=small}
libraryrefugees and pmgsdiary who've had me in stitches for various hours reading their posts! Thanks guys! :D And everyone else on my f-list. *hugs*
13. Whose behaviour made you appalled and depressed?
Those responsible for 7th July London bombings & George W. Bush about the whole Hurricane Katrina disaster; said that he'd help and oh shock!never did.

Studying.

Doctor Who, definately - roll on March 2006!! :D
25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
I don't like to say it, but probably my brother that little bit more since he irritates the hell out of me all the time, but when he's being nice, that'll probably change.

I didn't really see a lot of movies this year at the cinema but probably the best was Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire, followed by Wallace & Gromit: the Curse of the Wererabbit. Best film I discovered this year DVD wise was The Green Mile (followed very closely by The Shawshank Redemption) and it's remained my fave movie ever.

My family when I was in Romania for a fortnight.

pamdram, charleygirl (?) and Sara (aka Scorpio from the McGann Library) in the Forbidden Planet store in Cardiff, just before I headed upstairs to see Paul & then bumped into pippinandmerry who happened to be in Cardiff on the same day, though we'd arranged to meet there in the first place! ;)

Oh, yay, for the refugees!!! Glad we could oblige. And yeah, between PMG and MMG I'm snorting with hysterics constantly!

Wheeeeee! ;) I laugh far too much at all the antics - the pair of them are great :D And I think my family must think I'm mad, sitting here in the corner giggling to myself, and quite often, laughing really loudly! 0_0
