2007 in Review
Gacked from
adrtylilsecret
1. What did you do this year that you've never done before?
Something I have never done before? Mmm... watch a porn! Yes, it's unbelievable, but LJ has had a very bad influence on me :-)
2. Did you keep your new year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I have never done new year's resolution and I have no intention to do that this year, so I will feel no guilty not keeping them!
3. Did anyone close to you give birth this year?
Both my cousin: Pablo has had a little girl, Diana, and his sister Luna has had a boy, Ilan (that means tree, he is half italian and half palestinian).
4. Did anyone close to you die?
My cousin Giuseppe: he was stabbed to death in a park by night, on September 2. He was only 20 years old.
5. What countries did you visit this year?
None this year. I only went for five days at Matera, a beautiful city in the South of Italy.
6. What would you like to have in the next year that you lacked this year?
A partner, someone to share part of my life.
7. What date from this year will remain etched upon your memory?
None. The last year was not a very good one.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Unfortunately I have achieved not so much. Maybe the satisfaction I have received from my LJ and people who write to me to thanks for my reviews: they always surprise and please me.
9. What was your biggest failure of the year?
My dream, Cafe au Livre, and to be oblige to renounce to it.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
Not rilevant, no.
11. What was the best thing you bought this year?
Books. A lot of them and I'm very happy to have done it.
12. Whose behavior merited celebration (a public or private personality)?
Everyone who has written to me when I have had a very bad period in November.
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
My ex business partner, a person I have met more than 15 years ago and I have realized to not know well.
14. Where did most of your money go this year?
Trying to make survive Cafe au Livre, only to renounce to it soon after.
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about this year?
Nothing really exciting this last year.
16. What song will always remind you of this year?
"Pensa", which means "Think"

17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
- happier or sadder? Sadder, I hope the next year will be a lot easier than this
- richer or poorer? Poorer on money, but maybe on 2008 I will manage to regain some of my money. Richer on friends, even if they are online friends (sometime the best)
18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
Travel and meet people. This last year was a pretty lonely year, but I have not mood to meet people.
19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Work. Spend many hours on two works and to not achieve nothing.
20. How did you spend the holidays?
At home.
21. Did you fall in love this year?
Not a very love, maybe a crush. He was a very nice polish guy.

None.
23. What was your favorite TV program for the year?
I don't watch TV so none.

Yes, my former business partner.

I read too much books to choose only one :-)
26. What was your favorite film of the year?
None, I have no time to go to cinema this last year.
27. How would you describe your personal fashion concept this year?
Comfort and eccentric. I like silk and wool (a strange mix?), I like earth colours.
28. Whom did you miss this year?
My free time, the excitement to plan a travel, the excitement to be in love.
29. Who was the best new person you met this year?
Only one? Impossible. William Maltese, Max
maximvanziel, Alexander
adrtylilsecret, all male, all linked somehow with Germany... maybe I have to reconsider my opinion on Germany? :-) Max and Alexander, I have met you in the end of 2007 and you have won on a lot of other people I have met!
30. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned for this year.
Be more prudent on sharing my soul
