Got this one from Marah.

you are aquamarine
#7FFFD4

Your dominant hues are cyan and green. Although you definately strive to be logical you care about people and know there's a time and place for thinking emotionally. Your head rules most things but your heart rules others, and getting them to meet in the middle takes a lot of your energy some days.

Your saturation level is medium - You're not the most decisive go-getter, but you can get a job done when it's required of you. You probably don't think the world can change for you and don't want to spend too much effort trying to force it.

Your outlook on life is very bright. You are sunny and optimistic about life and others find it very encouraging, but remember to tone it down if you sense irritation.

Very me indeed! I don't actually likeaquamarine, but the description is definitely me.

End-of-year meme from Mastadge and Trilobite

1. What did you do in 2005 that you'd never done before?
Went out of state without parents or going there to meet grandparents (Disneyland!), joined a fairly exclusive school club, and I also fainted for the first time.

2. Did you keep your new year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I didn't make any resolutions this year, but next year I will certainly be making one.

3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Not this year. :)

4. Did anyone close to you die?
Again, not this year. :)

5. What countries did you visit?
None foreign, although "countries" really means "regions" and in that case, I went to SoCal, the Midwest, and the sehr interessant part of Arizona.

6. What would you like to have in 2006 that you lacked in 2005?
Comfort. I just want to be comfortable. Less back and stomach pain, more comfortable furniture than what we have in our apartment, etc.

7. What dates from 2005 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
May 9, 2005: Flew to California, met Jello, and embarked on the best vacation ever!
February 13, 2005: Going to the Lodge to celebrate Valentine's Day.
Also, the time when Bill Richardson plucked me from a crowd to give an example, and when I got sick a week ago today... that was scary enough that I'll remember it for a while.

8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Getting surprisingly good grades in school. :)

9. What was your biggest failure?
A win that turned into a loss; I almost got to go work at Disneyworld, but then had to turn it down. I haven't regretted anything this much before.

10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
Yes indeed. Dealt with back issues a lot, and then I got sick almost a month ago from the medication for my back.

11. What was the best thing you bought?
Tickets to California.

12. Whose behaviour merited celebration?
Brittani!

13. Whose behaviour made you appalled and depressed?
I won't go there.

14. Where did most of your money go?
Oh, food, probably.

15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
Disneyland!

16. What song will always remind you of 2005?
None that I like.

17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
a) happier or sadder? Sadder.
b) thinner or fatter? Fatter.
c) richer or poorer? Poorer.

18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
Going out and doing things.

19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Watch TV.

20. How will you be spending Christmas?
At home.

21. Who did you spend the most time on the phone with?
Chris and all of my crazy roommates.

22. Did you fall in love in 2005?
No. I've been in love longer than the last year.

23. How many one-night stands?
Wellllllllll. In my head, lots. (Shut up, it's a joke Chris and I have.)

24. What was your favourite TV program?
Lost.

New program?
Firefly (hey, it was new to me)

25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
I wouldn't say "hate".

26. What was the best book you read?
I read many this year, but none rank on a "best book" list. I'd say that I "really enjoyed" all the Star Wars I read this year.

27. What was your greatest musical discovery?
Of 2005? Hummmm, I'd say I got really into Jason Mraz this year. I'd also say the Acoustic Duo, which is my cousin Patrick and his friend.

28. What did you want and get?
To go to Disneyland, and onto the Model UN team.

29. What did you want and not get?
An internship and WDW.

30. What was your favourite film of this year?
That's tough. It's between Serenity and Narnia for me.

31. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
We went to City of Rocks! I turned 19.

32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
Living with less people.

33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2005?
Nothing new... jeans and a widely varied selection of t-shirts.

34. What kept you sane?
Chris.

35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
Simon (Sean Maher) from Firefly/Serenity.

36. What political issue stirred you the most?
Can I just say "all"? A lot got to me. Specifically, Mr. Brown leading up FEMA, when his credentials basically were made up of the fact that he did something with race horses in his last job.

37. Who did you miss?
Mandy, Gretchen, Heather.

38. Who was the best new person you met?
Paul! (Cool guy from Astronomy and Government classes.)

39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2005.
I don't know what's best for people. Only they know that.

40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.
"It takes no time to fall in love
But it takes you years to know what love is
It takes some fears to make you trust
It takes those tears to make it rust
It takes some dust to make it polished."
-Jason Mraz, "Life Is Wonderful"

Aggh! Got tagged by Marah (TheatreJedi), so I'll do it...

Post 5 WEIRD and RANDOM facts about yourself, then at the end of the list the names of 5 people who are next in line to do this. Also leave a comment on their xanga to let them know.

1. I never move when I sleep. When I wake up, my bed has no sheets out of place, and I'm in the same position.
2. My step-dad is my real dad's long-lost half-brother.
3. I spent my entire high school career hating band and glorifying orchestra. Got to college, dropped out of orchestra, and joined the band.
4. I like guys with dark, straight hair, but ended up with a boy with light, curly hair. ;)
5. When I was little, my dad introduced me to the Galesburg HS girls' basketball coach and told me that he'd be my coach someday. I was lined up to start basketball, but then he died. When you think about it, I could have turned out very differently from how I am today.
