36. Who was the best new person you met? I'm not sure...there have been many people I've met who I'm sure were good people...but I always seem to push people away or offend them in some way...I've kinda given up hope as far as thinking anyone I meet will actually end up as a real friend.

38. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.
Have you forgiven/Did you forget/Is it worth keeping/All those regrets/And is there someone/Who gave it all for you/Don't that make you/Want to give it your all to?
Get 'er done/Get to it/Cause there's only one time through it/There's only one thing we're all heading for/It goes 1972 dash then/You leave your legacy/In that little space between
-- Paul Brandt - That little space between
I had a hard time picking these lyrics...but I have been thinking alot about my life and what it means or should mean and what I should be doing with my "dash" oh...and Paul Brandt's songs have the best lyrics ever!
