40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
"Well my teachers, they built this reatining wall of memory
All these multiple choices I answered so quickly
And got my grades back and forgot just as easily
But at least I got and A
And so i don't have them to blame." - Bright Eyes
"Passed out in our school clothes so we wake up in our Sunday best
I never asked for your opinion, but I got it and I get it
We move slow like daytime drama and I'm boring like his songs
So while I'm taking you for granted, we'll be humming along" - Taking Back Sunday
"Late nights with warm, warm whiskey.
I guess the good times they were all just killing me." - Modest Mouse
"All right, all ready, we'll all float on,
Even if things get heavy, we'll all float on,
All float on, we'll all float on" - Modest Mouse
