No!
4) How did you earn your money?
From one full time job and one show on the side with high school students.

Hospital no, but a lot of clinic visits. March and April were not healthy months...
6) Did you have any encounters with the police?
Only one involving the cop, an ex, returning my cookware to me.
7) What did you purchase that was over $1000?
No but that plane ticket home came pretty darn close
8) Did you know anybody who got married?
Travis and Sarah and my roommate in Hawaii
9) Did you know anybody who passed away?

From one apartment to another upon discovery of my roommate's announcement of her impending wedding....
12) What concerts/shows did you go to?
Incubus and Dropkick Murphy's. A few local bands at the bars early in the year. Every single show at the childrens' theatre and one excellent show at a very promising new theatre company.
13) Do you still have the same job as you did in 2007?
Affirmative.
14) Where do you live now?
Still in Honolulu, only about 10 blocks over.
15) Describe your birthday?
Went to work because of a show about to go into tech despite a seriously infected eye. The next day was much better...Incubus at the Waikiki Shell
16) What's one thing you thought you'd never do but did in 2008?
Watch the sunset at 14,000 feet, swim with the sea turtles and get engaged! And all in under a week!
17) What has been your favorite moment?
Ross' proposal at Pu'uhonua o Honaunau
18) What's something you learned about yourself?
I don't have to feel obligated to the company I work for. If I'm not happy, I should take steps to make myself happy.

23) New friend?
That would be a major yes
24) Favorite Night out?
The Chinese New Year was pretty fun between the dim sum with a co-worker, firecrackers, dancing lions and tipsy texting to the then new crush, now fiance.
25) Would you say you've changed since the beginning of this year?
Definitely

Aw. Just think, the next time I get to kiss you I have to ask your fiance first...
(Applause) that was a great Year in Review. Now I need work on mine - after breakfast and cleaning up this place.
