goodbye 2011.

What did you do in 2011 that you’d never done before?
Travelled to certain places, had new food, experienced new cultures, met new people. Went for Iron Maiden and Crystal Castles (two most favourite bands hellllo!) for the first and probably (hopefully not) last time, had my wisdom tooth removed and the most recent, raving to dark trance while on acid, need I add: surrounded by oompa loompas. Idk if that's supposed to be a good or bad thing but yessss....

Did you keep your new years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
Last year my resolution was to stay in my job and pshhh I'm still working, still struggling every fucking morning. I wished I could say I'm free for the next year or so though but sadly no. For 2012 and the next few years, my resolution would be moving a step forward to a rtw trip. No concrete plans as of yet but insyie will make it happen with people who matter. YEEEEEPPPP EXCITING
