3. What was your least favorite moment of the year?
Probably when mom almost bled to death in the hospital in Mineola.

Probably my Kyusu. (traditional Japanese green tea pot)

Ahahahahahaha... Fuck, pretty much everyone in my family but my mom. And some of hers, too. A friend made me feel this way at the tail end of the year, too.

38. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned this year?
1: Positive thinking is a valuable tool. 2: Our strength will only disappear if we allow it to. 3: You CANNOT help another human being. You CANNOT change another human being. They must help themselves. You can push them and be there for them, but they must do the deed themselves. Take the good with the bad. You have no choice. If not, live in ignorance and wonder why things do not change in a relationship of any kind.
39. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year...
"I WILL NOT BE TOLD WHERE TO STAND! I will not be told what to say! Not by man nor machine, not by you, not by ANYONE tonight. Gonna have to do BETTER than fear! Gonna have to STEP OUT OF THE SHADOWS AND FIGHT! And when they see your face again, they will know what it means to have fear dragged out into the light.
DRAG IT OUT!"
