40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
"I love love
I love being in love
I don't care what it does to me
These pills are fine to pass the time
'til i find my new drug
Then
We'll take our chances
we'll last a month
we'll never speak again
And don't pick up the line
You'er dressed to have a good time
you don't need him, you need to be seen
so someone else can treat you wrong
so you my love can sing this song
I love love
i love being in love
i don't care what it does to me
These pills are fine to pass the time
'til i find my new drug
Then
We'll take our chances
we'll rise above
we'll last until the end"
