Several great books. A big green dragon statue. Some art prints. A great character badge at MFF.

Jeans, t-shirts, hoodies, some nice dragon shirts, and some random jewelry, oh and I pretty much went with glasses permenantly.

34. What kept you sane?
Friends. Deagle and Brett because they kept me from getting too serious and we acted crazy. Michelle cuz we have a lot in common to talk about. Kari helped me so much in classes.

35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
No one, really.

36. What political issue stirred you the most?
The crap happening in the middle east. Equal rights.

37. Who did you miss?
My friends from high school. We don't have much in common anymore, but I miss them.

38. Who was the best new person you met?
I think I technically met Michelle late 2006, but didn't really start getting to know her till the beginning of 2007. Brett is awesome. Hopefully us being roomates this semester will be good.

39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2007:
Some of this kinda stems over from 2006. If I hadn't had the courage to go to anime club by myself, then I wouldn't have met Deagle and wouldn't have the awesome friends I have today. So I guess you have to be brave enough to get out there and meet people. Be social and be willing to open up to people a little. When I started college in Louisville, 120 miles from home, I never imagined that I would make such great friends. Also, you need to express and be yourself. You'll be much happier.

40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.

My friends have been a major part of this year for me. With them by my side, I will fight and defend.

Keep Holding On- by Avril Lavigne
