My job promotion... and booking. Hahaha!

Maysh
35. Who was the best new person you met?
Bam
36. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2007:
It's better to believe and experience pain than being numb and immune and ambivalent. At least it gives you the validation that you are still human.
37. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
"I'm scared as hell but I know there's something better..." - Me, Paula Cole
