40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
I'm partial to Rhett Miller's 'Our Love' (which i'm sure I used as a post title at some point in 2005):
"She is a living fire she is a reason to live
She is killing me burning only for him
I'll spend my whole life loving her my heart exploding words
Our love surpassed our love so fast
Our love's all wrong our love goes on and on
Our love became our love by name when I wrote it to you in a song"
Our love goes on and on
