34. What kept you sane?
My family and N.
35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
If 2007 was the year of my unironical crush on Mikey Way, then 2008 was the year of the Urie. Embarrassingly enough. I could also say Sara Quin, because I love her most every year, but that pretty much goes without saying.
