Um. To travel?
28. WHAT DID YOU WANT AND NOT GET?
I'm not going to embarrass myself by answering this question.
29. WHAT WAS YOUR FAVOURITE FILM OF THE YEAR?
I didn't see very many new movies, but Harry Potter and the Fifth Whatever was pretty awesome. I wanted to see it again in the theater, but it didn't play very long in English.
30. WHAT DID YOU DO ON YOUR BIRTHDAY, AND HOW OLD WERE YOU?
Wowie, I turned 23 and I spent the day entirely by myself wandering around London. I bought Harry Potter on Charing Cross Road, got followed by a Frenchman, rode the London Eye, looked at mummies in the British Museum, hailed a taxi. It was pretty awesome.
31.WHAT ONE THING WOULD HAVE MADE YOUR YEAR IMMEASURABLY MORE SATISFYING?

John Krasinski
35. WHAT POLITICAL ISSUE STIRRED YOU THE MOST?
I'm not really paying attention politics, but I'm pretty freaking sick of hearing about global warming and climate change. Stop blaming ourselves, we don't need to do anything about it, the earth can adjust itself to its own changes, and that's not how the world is going to end.
36. WHO DID YOU MISS?
Everyone I know who lives in the U.S.
37. WHO WAS THE BEST NEW PERSON YOU MET?
Katie, Sadee, Timmi, Meredith, and that other guy, you know the one.
38. TELL US A VALUABLE LIFE LESSON YOU LEARNED IN 2007:
Don't be embarrassed to be totally yourself in every situation. Don't say no to new things, but if you don't want to do something, don't feel bad about expressing exactly how you feel.
39. QUOTE A SONG LYRIC THAT SUMS UP YOUR YEAR.
and I feel just like I'm living someone else's life/it's like I just stepped outside/when everything was going right/and I know just why you could not come along with me/'cause this was not your dream/but you always believed in me
