Izzie is doing this in two instalments
1. What did you do in 2003 that you'd never done before?
Made my very own wierd website
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
Izzie kept just over half of them. Izzie has two major policies.
The first is "Always keep your word."
The second - "Never give it" ;)
So it makes sense to make as few resolutions as possible and to keep them. A score of 70% kept resolutions is considered acceptable for Izzie.
And next year's biggie is no redraws on the house for decadent luxuries. Did that just a bit too often in 2003
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
No.
4. Did anyone close to you die?
Izzie's favorite grandma died in 2002. When you work in a nursing home, there are lots of grandmas to adopt and luckily all of Izzie's favorites are alive and well. But Iz was sort of sad and nostalgic at Christmas. Last year I wore my slinky green sparkly Christmas hat and one of the residents admired it so much that I gave it to her. It was sad to think that she died suddenly six months ago and never got the chance to wear it this Christmas. She was such a lovely person and Iz still expects to see her when she goes in to that room.
5. What countries did you visit?
Middle Earth (Also affectionately known to Izzie as 'The Land of the Green Spiral')
6. What would you like to have in 2004 that you lacked in 2003?
The title deeds and vacant possession of Number 12 Grimmauld Place ;)
7. What date from 2003 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
There were a couple. The first was 2 Jan when I had the ickle Izzie green light anniversary party and celebrated by having a picnic with the creatures at the usual place and wearing for the first time a certain ring that I had acquired as a 'birthday present'. And of course, Saturday 21 June when Iz visited the very same place with her brand new copy of the other preciousssss and returned to the wonderful magical worlds of Potterland.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
The establishment of the utterly evil Ministry of Misery
9. What was your biggest failure?
Getting a shocking 53% in Taxation and being evicted from the Izzie online dominions while on an overseas adventure in Middle Earth. Oh and not having the legendary Izzie greenness extend to the lawns and gardens of the lair.
(Been very very lazy this year)
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
The usual insanity
11. What was the best thing you bought?
The Preciousssssss. Also known as "The Order of the Phoenix"
12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
The Cocytusian Cat for corrupting ickle Izzie beyond redemption by introducing her to such evil influences as Voodoo and Douglas Adams
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
The Toxic Texan and his biggest brown nosed lap dog
14. Where did most of your money go?
At least 60% went on payments for lurking in the Lair, followed by Goblin fees and funds for the Izzie online addiction. Oh and the bottlies too. Izzie, like Pruffie, loves her Aussie wines.
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
The grand adventure in Middle Earth and the One book to rule them all.
16. What song will always remind you of 2003?
The first one from Evanescence. The folks on the radio these days never tell you the names of the songs and the artists any more.
Oh and how could silly Izzie forget? "Ring of Fire" After bushfires, fire-breathing dragons, flame throwing cats, 'shock and awe' and Johnny Cash - get the picture?
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
i. happier or sadder? Not happier but not sadder either. 2002 was such a wonderful Izzie year that it would be unfair to compare any other with it.
ii. thinner or fatter? Fatter
iii. richer or poorer? Less money but more experiences (Visiting Middle Earth was a rather expensive adventure - about 3 months of house payments)
18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
Hugging trees and watering the garden
19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Work
20. How will you be spending Christmas?
At work followed by Dinner at the Dursleys
