40. quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
"When you look in the mirror; wish you were someone else, But its still just a perfect reflection, you and no one else.... You were always saying something, you swear you'd never say again, You were always saying something, you swear you'd never say again, Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa, You'll never be the same again..." -Guster (Fa Fa)
