8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
I'm afraid I didn't achieve anything this year. At least that's what it feels like.

9. What was your biggest failure?
Giving up on my PhD thesis before it started. Though who knows, maybe I'll take it up again in 2006. And I don't see it as a personal failure, because it was the right decision for me.

Ipod!!!! And I really like my digital camera too. And my Farscape DVDs. Oh, and I bought a car. But the Ipod was the best thing.

Sport.

Getting drunk and staying out late. I did that a lot this year, and it was always fun, but the next morning it feels like such a waste of time.

20. How will you be spending Christmas?
Like the last year and the year before and the year before: up in my room to avoid the big break-down my familiy has each year.

Every day. But never seriously.

Fandom and my dog, unless they were driving me insane. But more often sane.

The ex. grrr. I hate myself.

38. Who was the best new person you met?
I met many wonderful people this year, I really can't answer this question.

39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2004:
What, you're saying I should have learned something?

40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
"Kick my brains round the floor
These are the days
It never rains but it pours"


Considering that this was probably one of the worst years of the last ten years, it didn't feel that bad.
And I'm pretty sure it would feel even better if someone could rec me some OZ fic. I'm looking for stories where Keller gets out and tries to be with Beecher on the outside.
Any ideas?
