39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2008.
"It's just as easy to be lonely in a city as out in the wilderness. Easier, really. It's harder to get to know someone when you meet in a crowded place. People can freely ignore you in the city; they can assume they don't have any responsibility for you. When there are fewer people, (...) they begin assuming some kind of responsibility, simply because you naturally do the same." -Skif, Winds of Change by Mercedes Lackey, pg. 207

40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year?
"When my time comes//Forget the wrong that I've done//Help me leave behind some//Reasons to be missed//And don't resent me//And when you're feeling empty//Keep me in your memory//Leave out all the rest" -"Leave Out All the Rest" by Linkin Park
