006) What was the best thing you bought? my first digital camera..i'm sure there's other things but I'm having trouble remembering.

008) Where did most of your money go? going out. movies. late night eating.
009) What did you get really, really, really excited about? i'm not really sure if I got REALLY excited about anything beforehand..but I was definitely excited during the last fremont show..seeing people into our band like that.

025) Who did you miss? liz
026) Who was the best new person you met? I met so many new people this year..i love the church youth especially..but no one impacted me more than Danielle..who though I had met in previous years, I never really got to know til this year.
027) Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2004: I'm not really big on learning lessons. I think "logic will break your heart" is a good overall phrase for the year..meaning that..well...as much as your heart would like to dream, if you think about things rationally, its just not gonna work out sometimes.
..but I guess its hard to keep that lesson in mind all the time for someone who tends to follow their insides more than their head.
