What did you do on your birthday and how old did you turn?
I turned 17 and I think my b-day was on a Friday or somemat. Umm…My friends brought me in some balloons, wonderful gifts, and a cake shaped like a golden snitch (chill as shit). Later that night, we had a sleepover at my house and we ate late night cake and enchiladas. Also watched Se7en, my favorite movie, and it scared the shit out of everyone. At like 3 am, went to sleep whilst watching Zoolander. That Sunday afterwords, went on a cruise with orchestra. A pretty chill birthday, I’d say!

Definitely Warner’s Brothers not being greedy little bastards. Also, not everyone being so obsessed with Twilight.

Red velvet cake. Or like any of the food in Quebec. Especially Poutine.

What was the most valuable lesson you learned in 2008?
