what countries did you visit? Does Pittsburgh count?
what would you like to have in 2007 that you lacked in 2006? An adult relationship.

whose behavior merited celebration? John Kimmel, with his Military Excellence Award.
whose behavior made you appalled and depressed? The persons who forced me to act like I was in high school this summer.

what was your favorite film of this year? Little Miss Sunshine
what did you do on your birthday, and how old were you? Four hour commute to work in a tropical storm, walked through floods, worked, and went to the OB Diner for disco fries. Hooray 22!
what one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying? Unlimited funds.

Not in love, still I think I'm doing fine
