Moved into my own place that HAS A DISHWASHER! Drank alcohol at a Disney park, picked apples from the tree, tread water in the ocean, ran five miles straight through, tried Nordic skiing, visited New Orleans, went to a speakeasy, bought a Christmas tree, saw Jimmy Carr live (waited ten years for that), de-shelled a crab, became a treasure hunt extraordinaire, saw Lorde live, took up golf, ate at Coopers in Scranton, went apple picking. went on a haunted hayride (against my will).
2. Did you keep your New Years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
