1. What did you do in 2006 that you'd never done before?
Worked on the Opening & Closing Ceremonies for both the Melbourne Commonwealth Games & Doha Asian Games, flew internationally by myself, went to several countries I've never been to, played with hexadeck, achieved one of my New Year's resolutions
2. Did you keep your New Years' resolutions and will you make more for next year?
I certainly did! 2006 was indeed a better year. Still working on the juggling though. :)
Here's to a better 2007 (and juggling)
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Julian & his wife Kate
4. Did anyone close to you die?
No
5. What countries did you visit?
Japan, Qatar, France and England.
6. What would you like to have in 2007 that you lacked in 2006?
To think less & do more.
7. What date from 2006 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
1st January because Gene & I had rung in the New Year with angry words and I had no idea what the year was going to bring. Thankfully it turned out to be one of the best years I’ve had.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Actively enjoying my month off work in the middle of the year.
9. What was your biggest failure?
Not looking after my health.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
First experience with bronchitis (which lead to an intolerance/allergy to penicillin), fractured my shoulder blade, a stupid amount of ear/throat infections. Fruit is your friend. Apparently sleep is too.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
Plane tickets. I agree! Followed closely by my iPod.
12. Whose behaviour merited celebration?
Fi and Mark for proving year after year that romance is still alive. Congratulations!
13. Whose behaviour made you appalled and depressed?
No one that I feel a need to speak of.
14. Where did most of your money go?
Pounds Sterling/Euro to US/Aussie Dollar exchange. We're thinking of it all as dollars. It's less painful that way.
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
Opening Ceremony in Melbourne. I cried. There’s something good about knowing that you’re friends and family are watching the show you’re working on. Plus it’s the first show that both my Dad’s and my name has been in the programme
16. What song will always remind you of 2006?
Under the Milky Way - The Church
17. Compared to this time last year, are you: Happier or sadder? Thinner or fatter? Richer or poorer?
Happier, thinner, richer
18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
Played my violin, sketched and followed my whims
19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Stress
20. How will you be spending Christmas?
Spent Christmas in Paris with Lisa and making friends with her friends while eating a vegan Chinese banquet (with Nick & Gene)
21. Did you fall in love in 2006?
As I do every year :)
23. How many one-night stands?
Nada
24. What was your favourite TV program?
Ah television... Didn't see much of it but most of it involved Battlestar Galactica and Dr Who. Oh have just started to watch the Green Wing but we didn’t do that until 2007 so it probably doesn’t count.
25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
Not so much.
26. What was the best book you read?
Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrel by Susanna Clark. Possibly Fragile Things by Neil Gaiman but I still haven't finished it.
27. What was your greatest musical discovery?
Fabienne Delsol
28. What did you want and get?
A job doing what I love
29. What did you want and not get?
See a show that Matt Lockitt directed (I think I’ll have to add it to my resolutions list)
30. What was your favourite film of this year?
I could go with Batman Begins because it was pretty good or Pirates of the Carribean II because Johnny Depp rocks my world, but I think I’m going to go with Confetti because I liked the feel of the movie because it wasn’t too polished. It was fun and just perfect at the time.
31. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
I was working but my wonderful friends came to visit and have drinks. I was and still am 23.
32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
Being able to proficiently juggling three balls.
33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2006?
Comfortable, practical (many useful pockets) and marginally less black than 2005 but only just.
34. What kept you sane?
Biltong, miso soup, Gene & Nick (not necessarily in that order).
35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
Johnny’s a steady favourite but Clive Owen’s pretty spunky too…
36. What political issue stirred you the most?
Tony Abbott almost being able to determine what medications were allowed to be prescribed instead of the AMA.
Out of interest, what happened to question 37?
38. Who was the best new person you met?
I’ve met some amazing people in 2006. Can’t just pick one.
39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2006.
Trust your instincts, have fun and be safe.
40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.
Just another day in paradise
as you stumble to your bed
Give anything to silence
those voices ringing in your head
You thought you could find happiness
just over that green hill
You thought you would be satisfied
But you never will learn to be still.

Today's Blog Thing Insight
You Are Midnight |
 You are more than a little eccentric, and you're apt to keep very unusual habits. Whether you're a nightowl, living in a commune, or taking a vow of silence - you like to experiment with your lifestyle. Expressing your individuality is important to you, and you often lie awake in bed thinking about the world and your place in it. You enjoy staying home, but that doesn't mean you're a hermit. You also appreciate quality time with family and close friends. |

23yrs 1hr 27minutes
I spent the first hour of my 23rd year learning zippo lighter tricks with Gene in the livingroom of our house. It's been a good year already :)
Having read Nomi & Lisa's blog I also did a quiz on Blog Things and this is what I have to show for it.
This may become a daily treat for me... I love quizzes!

Never was good at this game
Each player of this game starts with six weird things, unknown facts or habits about you...... People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own (or respond in a message or something!) and state six weird things or habits, and state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose six people to be tagged, list their names & leave a comment that says, "you are tagged", & tell them to come read your blog. No tag backs......
1- I squeeze the toothpaste from the bottom of the tube. (Not too neurotic about other people doing it, but I'll always "fix" it up otherwise... It's just more economical - no really)
2- My boyfriend's uncle is "Mr Adult Themes & Sexual References" from SBS
3- Usually just before I cut my hair short I buy several different hair accessories that require long hair.
4- Organising things for other people isn't a problem, but organising my life is.
5- I love people but I generally don't like big group things.
6- I love getting all gothed up, but just never seem to do it outside of the house any more.
I am going to tag Naomi, Lisa, Nick, Nic, John John and Sai
Mainly because these are the only people I personally know with blogs...

'Tis the season...
Have only answered questions that I wanted to.
1. What time did you get up this morning?
09:16 - I overslept
2. Diamonds or pearls?
Oooh, shiny things...
5. What did you have for breakfast?
I didn't...
7. What is your favorite cuisine?
Japanese
8. What foods do you dislike?
I'm with Fran on the disliking brains... aside from that I'll try most things.
9. What is your favorite chip flavor?
Mmmm fake cheese.
11. What kind of car do you drive?
An aging camira which is actually Gene's.
12. Favorite sandwich?
Sourdough with a decent amount of butter, turkey breast, a bit of lettuce, beetroot, cranberry sauce, some onion, mushrooms and a hint of avocado (even though I don't really eat avocado much)
13. What characteristic do you despise?
Unreliable
14. Favorite items of clothing?
Boots of any kind, coats and scarves. Can you tell I'm a Winter loving girl?
15. If you could go anywhere in the world on vacation, where would you go?
Everywhere.
16. What color is your bathroom?
White
18. Where would you retire to?
Somewhere with plenty of theatre.
19. Favorite time of the day?
Waking up next to my gorgeous boyfriend ties with falling asleep with aforementioned boyfriend.
20. What was your most memorable birthday?
My 21st was awesome, although as the party was a month later, not sure if that counts... Can't remember the year but I'd completely forgotten it was coming and had gotten in an arguement with my parents the night before about what time I was meant to have gone to sleep. They were always pretty relaxed about bedtime so I was a little frustrated with their insistance that I go to bed at a certain time. The next day I woke up and opened my bedroom door to be greeted by more streamers than I had ever seen as well as a balloon trail to a table filled with lots of exciting looking boxes and a big banner wishing me happy birthday. My folks had gone to the shops at 3am to pick up the decorations and stayed up all night decorating the house. It was wonderful.
25. What fabric detergent do you use? Omo for sensitive skin for normal washing, funky new special detergent for blacks.
7. Are you a morning person or a night owl? I love the night life...
28. What is your shoe size? 4-5 ladies and 2-3 kids
29. Do you have any pets? Herman our pet rat
30. Any words of wisdom you'd like to share with your friends? One of the first signs of maturity is to discover that the volume knob also turns to the left - Jerry M Wright

20. What was your most memorable birthday?
My 21st was awesome, although as the party was a month later, not sure if that counts... Can't remember the year but I'd completely forgotten it was coming and had gotten in an arguement with my parents the night before about what time I was meant to have gone to sleep. They were always pretty relaxed about bedtime so I was a little frustrated with their insistance that I go to bed at a certain time. The next day I woke up and opened my bedroom door to be greeted by more streamers than I had ever seen as well as a balloon trail to a table filled with lots of exciting looking boxes and a big banner wishing me happy birthday. My folks had gone to the shops at 3am to pick up the decorations and stayed up all night decorating the house. It was wonderful.
