I worked on a movie. Nothing exciting - just organised the extras for
shooting 2 different
party scenes for Anthony Minghella's movie.
> 2.Did you make any New Years' resolutions?
Kind of - yes - to leave my job and study art more.
> 3.Did anyone close to you give birth?
No.
> 4.Did anyone close to you die?
My godfather.

****tugal, Hungary, Croatia, Bosnia and Ireland.

More space.
> 7.What date from 2005 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
The day London won the Olympics. :)
> 8.What was your biggest achievement of the year?
I went to the dentist after nearly 10 years of absence. <brrrr>
> 9.What was your biggest failure?
Where do I start...failing to apply for my dream job, situated literally
outside my flat!!!
There are plenty more to choose from!
> 10.Did you suffer illness or injury?
Well, I dislocated and broke my shoulder last Christmas, so that injury
dogged me
all year round in 2005.
> 11.What was the best thing you bought?
Silver ring with 3 pink opals in Sarajevo. The guy made it in front of me
and
it only cost £12.
> 12.Whose behaviour merited celebration?
My mother's, for tirelessly helping everyone around her - my hero.
> 13.Whose behaviour made you appalled and depressed?
Two witches' from my company, who lied stupidly (stupidly, because there
were other people around them who won't stand for it. Ooops. Depressing
because I respected these two and counted them my friends. Unfortunately
for myself, I won a contract to work as an Artist Facilitator for a
project
and
things suddenly turned for the nasty. I am still very upset.
> 14.Where did most of your money go?
Holidays and petrol, I'd say - it can't be the dog food - the beast's been
on a diet since her operation in January.
> 15.What events did you get really, really, really excited about?
Singing lessons every Saturday morning, going to Bosnia after 15 years of
absence;
Kamion's wedding in Cambridge in August, photographic expeditions in
Sus***,
etc..
Of course, I get really, really, really excited about great many things.
> 16.What song will always remind you of 2005?
Underneath Your Clothes by Shakira.
> 17.Compared to this time last year, are you:
> i.happier or sadder?
Definitely sadder - still not over the poison that poured out of my
co-workers.
> ii.thinner or fatter?
Maybe a little fitter - those singing lessons will keep your tummy toned!
> iii.richer or poorer?
Poorer - still haven't been paid for December!
> 18.What do you wish you'd done more of?
Painting.
> 19.What do you wish you'd done less of?
Eating unhealthily. I don't have the time for food. <shrug>
> 20.How did you spend Christmas?
With mum and dad, brother and his GF, my very own GF and my dog, Laliq.
We all gorged ourselves on too much food (parents cooked for 3 days
hahahaha),
apart from Laliq, who cried herself to sleep as she is still on a strict
diet.
> 21.Who did you spend the most time on the phone with?
Girlfriend, Lisa.
> 22.Did you fall in love in 2005?
Yes. Utterly and completely. It was love at first sight - with an 8
months
old Spaniel
at Brighton's RSPCA, called Todd (pics on their website) - the most
adorable
dog
I ever did see. He sat down and gave me his paw and howled when I
left...awww..
I was heart-broken having to leave him there.

Dark Angel. There was something else I watched religiously,

A Town like Alice by Neville Shute.

Nicky Spence - a young Scottish tenor. Amazing voice.
> 28. What did you want and get?
British pass****t! (mixed blessing in this day and age, alas)

The new Wallace and Gromit movie, Kinky Boots, Sideways,
Station Agent, Batman Begins, Sin City, Constantine.

shopping,
then back to our base in Limerick, for a surprise birthday cake and
champers!
I was (still am) 34.
> 33. How would you describe your personal fa****on concept in 2005?
Individual. <grin> Designer accessories a must.
> 34. What kept you sane?
My faithful hound, Laliq, who legs it like a pro in case of trouble. The
tiny fluffball
who will campaign relentlessly for her right to a treat after a walk.
Gorjoss!

Fancied Pitta Bread and Jessica Alba.
