\(^o^)/

So it's time again to make resolutions and take the time to reflect on (and sometimes cringe over) our actions and accomplishments over the past year.

What 2006 meant to me.

Overall I'd probably give 2006 an 8/10. While it couldn't top 2005 (moving to Brisbane was one of the best decisions I've ever made), it was still a pretty darn good year. It started off at a killer party in Toowong, making some spur of the moment resolutions which thankfully only a few friends were there to witness, which in light of what happened during the year took on umm, ... extra meaning.

Things were so cruisy for me at the beginning of 2006. I think I'll always reflect upon this time as the happiest in my life. Things were just so incredibly great and the best part was, I knew it. I was healthy, I had a pumping social life, work was satisfying, I was single and having the time of my life.

It wasn't possible to maintain that high throughout the entire year, and I did have a few low points, mainly centred around personal relationships and work uncertainty but things seemed to thankfully repair naturally before the year was out.

As far as achievements go, there's a few to mention ...

2006 was the year I bought my first house!
I finally plucked up enough courage to buy my very own home. I've been wanting to/saving for years to do it, though my overseas trips set me back. Years ago, the thought of doing it on my own terrified me but like most big decisions, I warmed to the right choice and made the leap. So now I'm living in it, it's pretty comfortable, though a bit empty. Not quite milk crates on the floor or anything, but outdoor furniture is currently living indoors due to lack of proper seating. So for the time being I'll keep shopping for a comfy couch.

The year I graduated from University
I changed my enrolment to an Associate Degree in Multimedia Studies rather than the Bachelor and graduated! Hooray to me!

The year I bought my first gaming console
That's right, I even went to the midnight launch of the Nintendo Wii! It took me about a week to recover from missing what was almost an entire nights sleep - that's a story in itself, but now I have my Wii and I'm a happy girl.

The year I was interviewed on TV
I have blogged about this previously - I was interviewed by ABC2's Good Game, and my interview was aired on their premiere episode in September 2006. Talking about World of Warcraft, which I'm now taking a break from. LOL. My account is still active, I’ve just had restricted internet access since about November so yeah I've taken a break.


So I think that's about it for 2006, bring on 2007!
