38. Who was the best new person you met?
Okay, there are a few here. Hold on. First off, Zach, I'm not really sure where we stand right now because you always seem kinda mad at me and maybe thats my fault or maybe just my perception, but either way, I really appreciate all that you've taught me, all the times you listened to me, and just how generally awesome you are. Don't forget that.

Hayley, you just plain kick ass. My life would be so much less interesting without you involved. I don't know anyone else who would spend an hour petting fake sheep with me at Bath and Body whilst debating over whether or not Batgirl is actually a lesbian, or whether DC was just trying to bring some diversity to the lineup, a la Green Lantern or listening to Electric Wizard till seven in the morning, talking about philosophy and shit, finally deciding that Electric Wizard would never be worth listening to again, or create interpretive dances to help eachother suffer through Bio. Love yous.

And Team Jesus, all of you, are awesome. I do regret scarring Will's innocence by forcing the poor guy to watch RHPS, but it was also kind of worth it. I don't think I've ever been happier with a group of people, or more accepted than I have with you guys. Don't change.

39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2008.
"Nothing lasts forever."

40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.
"Every time I pin down what I think I want, it slips away/ The goal slips away."
