Rent. And a plane ticket to a place I didn't even go. There's my biggest regret. That I didn't go to Quebec. I'm disapointed in myself over that.

Now if I list one I have to list them all, and I don't rank people anyways.
39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2004:
When it comes down to it, all you have is yourself. But that doesn't mean you can't care about and depend on the people that are in your life at any given moment. Its just not easy losing people or growing apart from people. I wish I didn't have to, but it doesn't look like its going to change any time soon.
40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
I'm so tired, I haven't slept a wink
I'm so tired, my mind is on the blink
I wonder should I get up and fix myself a drink
No, no, no.
I'm so tired, I don't know what to do
I'm so tired, my mind is set on you
I wonder should I call you but I know what you'd do
You'd say I'm putting you on
But it's no joke, it's doing me harm
You know I can't sleep, I can't stop my brain
You know it's three weeks, I'm going insane
You know I'd give you everything I've got
for a little peace of mind
