A New Years HodgePodge

What better way to ring in 2013 than with a HodgePodge?

1. How did you ring in the New Year?

I was down in Mass., with an old friend,

her lawyer friends, her fiancee, and his police friends.

I was probably in the safest NYE local ever.

2. One thing you're looking forward to in 2013?

Hopefully starting my PhD.

3. Are we the same person at the New Year?

That Spielburg quote is interesting.

I think we have who we are at our core,

but I do think we change a little day by day,

because we are changed by our experiences, right?

It's like how you look at yourself yesterday,

and you get that person;

but when you look at yourself a year ago:

where you were, what you were doing, etc,

you are amazed at where you are now.

So, Spielburg, I sorta agree with you, dude.

4. What about Emerald?

I love emerald - gemstone and color.

The dark green is so rich.

I'd love to have more of it in my wardrobe and life.

5. Favorite Gemstone?

Sapphires.

So, so, so pretty.

Mine? Peridot.

It's okay, I guess ;)

6. Favorite Book from 2012?

either: A Discovery of Witches

or

The Night Circus

Fortunately for you,

I've reviewed both of them right here on the blog!

So you can see for yourself how awesome they were. 

7. New Years Advice to yourself?

Be open to experiences: new and old.
