29. What did you want and not get? A job. (Although, that's hardly fair to say because I was never unemployed until last week.)

36. What political issue stirred you the most? Don't get me started.
37. Who did you miss? I'm always missing someone… because I have friends and family in so many places, I'm always away from people that I love.
38. Who was the best new person you met? Everyone at RDS. Maybe Matt… Courtney, my roommates… I can't just pick one person.
39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2005: Life refuses to be predictable. So just enjoy the twists and turns that you encounter along the way. Things have a way of working out.
40. Quote or Song Lyric that sums up your year: "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass... it's about getting out there and dancing in the rain." And just for fun… "But he's wearing a tree skirt!"
