30. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
Slide by the Goo Goo Dolls
I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything at all
So why don't you slide
And I'll do anything you ever
Dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothing that fall
May put your arms around me
What you feel is what you are
And what you are is beautiful
