1. What did you do in 2004 that you'd never done before? for the first time ever i fell in love. i'm not in love anymore but i was and i'm happy to say that i was able to experience that because i was able to experience it at such a young age and i know i will again and i'm lucky for that because some people live their whole lives and never fall in love.
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year? i didn't keep it, i tried to but sometimes no matter how bad you want to do something or not do something, you just can't. i have the same resolution this year, so we'll see what happens.

9. What was your biggest failure? i don't think i had one, i don't regret anything i ever do, at the time yes it may be stupid, but you learn from everything, if you never make mistakes you never learn and you never live. so everything i've done as stupid as they might have been, i didn't fail because i grew from those experiences and that doesn't sound like failure to me.

40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
"We made promises we couldn't keep
And every night we couldn't sleep.
I didn't know why, but didn't ask questions
because it was the first time in my life, yeah the first time in my life
Where I, did something right."
"Nobody said it was easy, no one ever said it would be this hard"
