1. What did you do in 2011 that you’d never done before?
HAHAHAHA.

Y'all, I could write a book.
Instead, I will share two things I'm most proud of/excited about:
1. REALLY REALLY FOR REAL stick with a new fitness routine.
2. Made a closer bond with my younger sister.
2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
DUDE. YES!

This is what I said last year:
This year I just want to do better at things. Not anything grand, but the things I do every single day, I want to do them better.
Find a new kind of exercise, and do it at least once a week- Tennis anyone?
Okay, I didn't play tennis. But I did something a whole lot better.

Several of my sanity saving co-workers. Lots of good friends.

13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
This is some strong language eh? I don't think I really feel that way this year. What was supposed to happen with most people happened. There are people I was disappointed in, but that's life. If disappointment in a person can be illuminating, its a good thing.
14. Where did most of your money go?
WAY TOO much on food. This was a very expensive year. Lots on working out- no regrets there.
15. What did you get really excited about?
Traveling. A lot of new people in my life have been pleasant surprises. A friend's hard earned pregnancy. Actually, two friends' hard earned pregnancies.
16. What song will always remind you of 2011?
All things Adele. But my favorites are the ones not on the radio.
Danger Mouse and Nora Jones "Black"
Slynnro Added Question: What scent will always remind you of 2011?
I'm a huge scent memory person- this year its Yves Saint Laurent Parisienne, Annick Goutal Petite Cherie and Miss Dior Cherie. VIVE LA FRANCE!
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
(a) happier or sadder?
(b) thinner or fatter?
(c) richer or poorer?
(a) Happier in some ways, sadder in others.
(b) Thinner. And stronger.
(c) I got a raise, but this year was pricey. Not poorer, but not much richer.
18. What do you wish you’d done more of?
I really feel like I put it all out there this year. I'm sure there's something, but I'm not sure what. That's a good feeling though, that I'm not sure.
19. What do you wish you’d done less of?
Shopped. Obsessed about things that obsessing won't resolve.
20. How did you spend Christmas?
In San Antonio.
21. Did you fall in love in 2010?
With a lot of things. Especially Don Draper.
If you've never seen an episode, watch the Carousel for me. Please. Best 3 minutes of television. Possibly ever.
22. What was your favorite TV program?
Oh man, this was the year of me getting obsessed with tv shows years after everyone else has seen them. Which is actually really fun, if you have a responsive Facebook crowd!
Mad Men. Breaking Bad. Lost. Fringe. It's Always Sunny. The League. Archer.

23. Do you hate anyone now that you didn’t hate this time last year?
No one.
24. What was your greatest musical discovery?
Pass.
I went to a lot of concerts (THANKS MATT AND BRYAN!) but nothing new.
26. What did you want and get?
That fucking iPad I obsessed about in last year's meme.
A 10 win season and a Heisman Winner!
I tried a lot of new things I didn't know I wanted to try until I did them.
A (girl) best friend.
27. What did you want and not get?
Clarity.
28. What was your favorite film of this year?
Hmm....I hardly saw any movies this year.
Horrible Bosses was funny.
I hated the Adjustment Bureau, but enjoyed watching it because it was ripe with opportunity to make fun, and had good company, who was forced to shush me every 3 seconds because my comedy could not be contained.
Drawing a blank here, kids. Those are honestly the only two movies I remember seeing. Besides the Lincoln Lawyer, which I did not like. I shouldn't be allowed to watch lawyer things.
29. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
On my actual birthday, I went to dinner with a female friend, then out with my best dude friends, and then on the following day, went to dinner with A because he had to work.
31. Fuck.
30. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
One thing? Fuck if I know. That's a lot of pressure.

BRIGHT COLORS.
DRESS CODE VIOLATIONS.
Red. Fucking. Hair.
Yes, its a fashion concept.
32. What kept you sane?
Twitter. Facebook (whatever, I have a great comedic audience). Exercise.
Twitter. Facebook (whatever, I have a great comedic audience). Exercise.
And watching Lost from start to finish had a (CHEESE ALERT) profound effect on me. Honestly.
33. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
