Late: Just getting it out of the way:
1)Was 2007 a good year for you?
Yes. I had to put in more work than I ever have, but I feel like I'm coming out with a much greater sense of myself and what I can do if only I put my mind to it.

2) What was your favourite moment of the year?
Back breakers on the roof of Nick's gaff - the first pills of summer. The two threesomes I had in Edinburgh - and tearing down the motorway in a Mazda, listening to Tiesto and gettind stoned. Stepping onto my first New York sidewalk. The basement rave - oh, the basement rave... Finally moving out froim the IFSC. Oh - Electric Picnic - the whole hazy experience. I tripple dropped at Chrmical Brothers - My life.

3) What was your least favourite moment of the year?
The latter half of my New York experience. It was like a gay Pinter play - all that silence. Breaking up with Ruairi was pretty nasty too - and not becuase I wasn't glad of it at the time. Living with Amy, loosing my job, how I left things in Edinburgh with Vicki.

4) Where were you when 2007 began?
In Centra buying smokes with naming. I was supposed to be in cork, but being two libras Ruairi and I couldn't make up our minds, and I was a sick, sniffling mess. I drank whiskey on Niamh's couch and then we headed down to Rogue for twenty minutes.

5) Who were you with?
Niamh.

6) Where will you be when 2007 ends?
No where special. Probably Marie's or in the Bernard Shaw. I'm going to be with Cormac, Marie and her Scotish friends - I presume Louise and Duggie will be in Bray - most of mine have alternate plans, and 12:00 just doesn't seem that late to me anymore.

7) Who will you be with when 2006 ends?
Cormac, Marie, Vicky, Ben, Kit, Sam, Murray.

8) Did you keep your new years resolution of 2007?
To not be afraid of food, to break the dance scene and to revolutionalise my fashion sense. Yup.

9) Do you have a new years resolution for 2007?
Get my degree, get off my tits for three months, make conections in my field, get out of the country, move and live successfuilly in a new city, pecs. To not just fuck anybody.

10) Did you fall in love in 2007?
I was in love as I came into 2007 I guess. And I supposed I met Caleb for the first time adn that was intense, but no - I didn't fall in love in that sense, and I'm not in love in that sense right now.

11) If yes, with whom?
I tell everyone I love them.

12) If yes, do they know?
Meh.

13) Are you still in love with them?
Bored.

14) Do you regret it?
No.

15) Did you break up with anyone in 2007?
Yes. Ruairi; it was stupid anyway - he never came to see me and I'd stepped out of the relationship long before we actually ended it. It ended up quite bitter though for a while and even though we're likely grand, meh, we're not close.
Caleb was complicated - becuase in the space of four days we met, fell in love, got married, and broke up. And then had to live together for six more... I don't know - I think he's got a lot of stuff to work through, and to be quite honest, I don't and I can't really be there for people in that way right now.

16) Did you make any new friends in 2006?
Not as many as I did last year, but this year was the year of knowing people in college. Rebecca, Lucy, Kirsty - those are always about me now. Outside of college I guess I made friends with Anna - the Aussie who was here for a few months. Of course this year was the year of Rob and Mush and I guess Mush is a new friend, kinda. I love that guy - and he leadfs me to Terry, Nick, Dermot... I guess I did branch out after all. Oh - and my new flatmates are becoming friends - in the way that flatmates do. Oh - and Deirdre and I finally got a bit closer - which is good, for me. Oh - and Cris of course. He's my technical partner in stage crime.

17) Who are your favourite new friends?
Rebecca, Kirsty, Mush, Anna.

18) What was your favourite month of 2007?
September: New York, Electric Picnic and the Basement Rave - what else needs to be said - I'm always happy when consuming a truckload of drugs.

19) Did you travel outside of Ireland in 2007?
Yes - To Edinburgh for two months and to New York for ten days. The furthest I've been in a long, long time.

20) How many different places did you travel to in 2007?
Uhm - I also went to Galway for the weekend.

21) Did you lose anybody close to you in 2007?
No.

22) Did you miss anybody in the past year?
Yes - I missed Rob now that he's away, and I'm missing Mush now. It's funny, I don't really do 'missing' people.

23) What was your favourite movie that you saw in 2007?
I'm trying to remember what I saw, cause I hardly ever go to the movies. I ought to say Shrooms in order to support the home grown. Oh - I guess I'll have to say 'Strangers With Candy' the movie.
