30. What was your favorite film of this year?
I was looking forward to the Golden Compass since April. (I checked the date, it really was that long ago) It was pretty awesome, but the condensing the whole thing to one movie (and cutting off the last 10 minutes what!!) made it way more epic feeling than the book.
Regardless, it was NOT my favorite movie!
The Simpson's Movie was !! (heart)
31. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
I moved some stuff into the apartment; Ryan's mom lynched Alex and me to take us out to lunch; Alex took me to the $2 movie theater to see The Seeker (ROFL!) and bought me bubble tea. Over all, completely awesome birthday! I turned 19.
32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
My parents' business taking off.

Ryan and school.
35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
Ehnn...I don't usually crush on celebs, but umm. *thinks* Pre-lip job Keira Knightley?

Er...nothing, really. I keep my hands the heck out of politics.
37. Who did you miss?
My parents.

Mmm...I'd have to say Anna. She was the only real new friend I made this year. Oh! Wait but Greg was also awesome. Yes, the people at TCC were the best.
39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2007:
I am not very good at dealing with emotional stress. :) Therefore, chillax, and most importantly EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON.
40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
"Ah, the last time we saw you, you looked so much older. Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulders. You'd been to the station to meet every train, and you came home without Lili Marlene. (...) And what can I tell you my brother, my killer? What can I possibly say? I guess that I miss you. I guess I forgive you. I'm glad you stood in my way."
