Because I'd like to remember these things about the last year.

01.What did you do in 2006 that you'd never done before?

02. Did you keep your new year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I can't remember any resolutions; that's not to say that I didn't make them, but I guess it implies I didn't keep them.

April did! And also Laren, who I don't really talk to, but who I still love very much.

Mario

07. What dates from 2006 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
I'm not so good with dates; I can't give guys any grief because it will be me who forgets anniversaries...
