So, you think you're a 2k7 fan? Ok LongCat, can you handle this?
The flicks, the fashions, the trends, the tunes, the tv, the gatherings, the totally awesome year that gave us these burning questions:

How much madness could could you handle in Sparta?

Blah blah blah, VH1, I get it. Anyway, it's time to list our favorite things from 2007.
Here is my list:

Favorite gathering:
All the one's at Jerry's, just because he's Jerry.

Favorite tv show:
Death Note

Favorite 2k7 flick:
300

Favorite 70s flick:
The Poseidon Adventure

I'll post more later. Heres to the new year, everybody! :D
Also a Proud Fanime Con Attendee since 1998!
Yay, Haruko.

My 2008 New Year's Resolutions:

1. Get Laid.
2. Stop using God's name "in vain" and instead use either Zeus, or nothing at all with the damn it part. A few years ago I did pretty good at this one, until June. Darn.
3. Exercise a little bit.
4. Win the 911 Chicken Challenge
5. Go to EVO World.
Also a Proud Fanime Con Attendee since 1998!
Yay, Haruko.

Keep my craft rooms clean so as not to drive the hubby nuts
To find a better dental office to work at, that pays me better

CHEERS TO THAT! YAY FOR '08
my year was topped off with a nice long day at work getting yelled at by the boss within the last few minutes..

yeah. needless to say, i'm hoping '08 will be better XD

Otaku_Princess

I forgot to post my look back. lol 

My year...sucked. T_T  I missed Fanime because of some senseless drama.  I had my heart broken twice and got a speeding ticket for the first time in my life.  My mom also left us and now we are buried in debt.  lol  Maybe this year will be better.

2007...Hmmm, it wasn't a bad year I say...but then again I make things as good as I want them to be :D

Im going by months...if I remember them actually

-Jan: started off great with Jerry, Karisma, Karren and myself.  Continued with birthday at the Pier for Karisma and going to her place for superbowl.  Ladies and boys I only go to superbowl parties if I have an interest in a girl there or there is good food.  I find football utterly boring and useless to watch.  On the other hand I will play it and tackle you down :D

-feb: Valentines was fun...I think...I'm sorry I forgot what we did...in all I forgot what happened february.  Oh yea clam chowder event...yea

-march: I turned 21 woot...again don't remember, and no I didn't get plastered on my birthday.  Only idiots use that as an excuse.  Just because I can do it now doesn't mean I have to.  Plus I had an exam the next day.

-April- brother's bday.  thats all I got.

-may: fanime, first time being staff, rooming with loads of people...this time around I will make it better rooming.  and I finished another semester of school :D

-June:  Yay summer...wait I worked the whole time.  Did end up taking a trip up to washington, that was fun

-July: Starting with Washington, that was fun.  Don't remember what else.

-Aug: went on a cruise that was super special awesome.  Want to go again to another one :D.  went back to school

-September: did anything happen then?

-October: Nothing special, SAW 4 was kew.  About it.

-November: Turkey day is always awesome.  Started playing FFXI...bad idea since its almost finals time

-December: work, finals, passed all my classes, mexico was fun as you may see in the other new years thread.

Favorite movie: Dont know...lots that I liked
Favorite new song: Alguien Soy Yo-Enrique Iglesias...what is an awesome song
Favorite restaurant: Sushi Factory...mmm sushi
and other favorites I cant think off at the moment

Yes the year had some drama but I dealt with it like I always do and so it didn't bug me much

Resolutions:
-lose weight
-meet new people
-join a kick boxing ring or the boxing club at school
-swim more
-work on cosplays
-become a better woodsman...hehe
-save monies to get me a car...donations are very much welcomed :D
-plan more fun trips with friends...got to plan one soon

One last thing I forgot to put down is to lose weight is best I can.
