21st, and not as much as people thought i would. Marc, thomas, courtney and I went to Gardski's for dinner. I had pasta. And I remember courtney had a weird nasty sweet potato that we didn't like. and i had a cosmo, and courtney had something she didn't want to drink. that we went home and ate cake and i opened thomas's present, a game that we messed around with for like an hour. at some point doug came over. then me, doug, and thomas went to fridays and i had a couple of drinks and came home! it was a wednesday. lol

Friends, my mom, alcohol, more alcohol, and some good foods of fatness

brian, mom and dad, matt (first section of the year)

39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2005.
some things only take LOTS of time to get over, and you're not a failure if it takes awhile. and... you can love someone but realize later that you are glad that you broke up. i finally reached that point a couple of months ago.
40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.
i'm going to pick one that sums up every year of my life.
"You can't always get what you want. But if you try sometimes, you just might find... you get what you need."
And on a funny note, does anyone else realize that "Unanswered Prayers" by Garth Brooks is a rip off of that?? It's seriously the identical song, with Christianity thrown in. DEAD SERIOUS, read the lyrics. Garth Brooks= plagairizer!! lol
