1. What did you do in 2004 that you'd never done before?
I learned to really like who I am, I'm pretty fucking nifty for a neurotic wench. Trust me, I'll be the first to shoot myself down, after all I am my own worse enemy, but gosh darn it, I like me and on odd Tuesdays with the moon is in the right position, I love me. (batteries not included)
2. Did you keep your new year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year? I don't make resolutions anymore, I hate letting myself down so much, now I just be the best me I can be and having multiple personalities the group hugs have been a God send. I set goals now and one goal for this year is to give up my blow up Dr. Phil doll. Yes, it will be hard to give up the relentlessly insatiable lovin', but its time to 'get real'.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
My sister gave birth to the happiest baby on this planet.
4. Did anyone close to you die?
Thankfully, no.
5. What countries did you visit?
Fucking Omaha Nebraska during a huge ass electrical storm, not a country you say? In what country can you say you saw Dorothy and Toto fly by during a thunderstorm storm?
6. What would you like to have in 2005 that you lacked in 2004?
Sex, financial security and a house, in that order, thanks.
7. What dates from 2004 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
November 2nd was the rash on the ass of humanity and God damn if I'm not out of medicated ointment. Fuck.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Breathing and refraining, Ghandi-style, from smacking the living shit out of stubborn ignorant conservatives unwilling to see the whole picture, lighten the fuck up, please. :D
9. What was your biggest failure?
I can't think of one damn failure, I so fucking rock! ;)
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
The back was still an issue for most of the year, after a couple of back outages in November I thought I would never be pain-free again, miraculously I haven't had pain in over a month, a few spasms in my legs and sometimes my ass tingles, but that could just be a change in the weather.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
My new computer, yippee!
12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
Jon Stewart and the Daily Show's Team, kudos you witty little bitches and thanks for the humorous sanity in a year filled with political poison.
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
The fuckwits in the middle east who think decapitation is the new black. Those mindless, ignorant, stunted, brainwashed mother-fuckers don't understand karma, but they will, muahahahahaha.
14. Where did most of your money go?
Books, books and um books.
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
Clive Owen as King Arthur, holy mudder of gawd! (pant, sweat, slurp, quiver, etc)
16. What song will always remind you of 2004?
"Defying Gravity" from the musical Wicked, I listen to it every day, it's my cheap cheerleader, my motivation. Sure, Elphaba the wicked witch of the west sings it, but she had goals and so do I and I find it very inspiring. *cackle*
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
a) happier or sadder? Happier, why the hell not..

17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
a) happier or sadder? Happier, why the hell not..
b) thinner or fatter? About the same, why? Who wants to know? Does this blog make my ass look fat?
c) richer or poorer? Let's just say I spend what little money I make more wisely now.
18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
CREATE! No painting, no beadwork, no drawing, whatever! I just didn't have it in me last year. I will this year, because it makes me so damn happy.
19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Laziness, my ass was stuck in my comfy chair not giving a fuck, the back pain had something to do with that, but once I started my physical therapy again the pain has ceased, I'm ready to kick some ass, after I eat what's left of my Christmas chocolate, I'm gonna be lil' Ms. Mover & Shaker and that my friend is just the fat jiggling as I walk proud.
20. How will you be spending Christmas?
Spent and darling it was marvelous.
21. Did you fall in love in 2004?
Ugh, Ack, Splat! Snarf, sniff, burp and fart. Thanks.
22. How many one-night stands?
Well, I bought batteries back in June, they're still in the package, shoot me now.
23. What was your favorite TV program?
The West Wing is like crack for me, but its the Daily Show, hands down.
24. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
I don't hate, I loathe, I despise, but I don't hate anyone, in particular.
25. What was the best book you read?
Vernon God Little.
26. What was your greatest musical discovery?
The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, um.. yeah. And The Killers!
27. What did you want and get?
New computer and printer.
28. What did you want and not get?
The fucking lottery.
29. What was your favorite film of this year?
Eeesh, hard saying, however, I really enjoyed Spiderman II and King Arthur, damn if Clive Owen shouldn't stripped naked in front of me now a little dance would be a pleasantry as well, naked of course.
30. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
I had dinner with my sister-in law Kelly and my bestest wench Laura. I turned 40 fucking years old and I'm digging every crotchety & bitchy moment of it.
31.What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
Meeting that special someone or something. At this point, an eBay auction may be called for. Oh yes, if you would be so kind as to shoot me now. Thanks.
32. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2004?
My hair dresser thinks I dress edgy, I think its the fact that I wear Chuck Taylor's with formal wear, whatever. Comfort is key and if its shiny and funky, all the better.
33. What kept you sane?
Beer & chocolate.
34. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
Johnny Depp and Angela Jolie, the mind doth wanders.
35. What political issue stirred you the most?
The fact that America was fucking lied to about why we should go to war with Iraq, it makes me want to blow beer soaked chocolate chunks when I think about it.
36. Who did you miss?
I miss my friend Monica something fierce. She still visits in my dreams, we have marguarita's and laugh our asses off and although its just a dream, I still wake up with a hangover and my face aches from the laughter.
37. Who was the best new person you met?
Neal Pollack, sigh.
38. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2004.
Never drink & blog, compromise, when I know I'm right, makes my ass itch and Love, any way you shake it, tickle it or wrap it in cellophane, is indeed the answer.
39. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.
So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky!
As someone told me lately:
"Ev'ryone deserves the chance to fly!"
And if I'm flying solo
At least I'm flying free
To those who'd ground me
Take a message back from me
Tell them how I am
Defying gravity
I'm flying high
Defying gravity
And soon I'll match them in renown
And nobody in all of Oz
No Wizard that there is or was
Is ever gonna bring me down!
