The Fountain, John Tucker Must Die, Superman, Ricki Bobby (Talledega Nights), World Trade Centre... I can't even remember the rest!

20. What was your best night out?
Best... that's tough. Maybe the night Dan and I walked on the beach. That was awesome. We skipped stones and talked. We stayed out late... we always stayed out late. :)
OHH! More recently that night at Heather's place. We hung out with her crazy neighbours and their Hanukkah party. We shared the gospel with a guy named Greg. Heather and I danced to her hippie electronic music. We listened to a guy with his head stuck through our window rant about conspiracy theories. We stayed up until 4:30. That was so much fun.

21. What was your worst night out?
Hmmm... I don't think I have one. Maybe the last day Dan and I were a couple, together in Cobourg. It was bittersweet. We walked around the campground near his place and talked... but I think we both knew our breakup was coming.

22. Best Day?
It's a toss up: May 23rd... my birthday in North Africa OR August 8th. The day Dan and I started dating.

October 10th for sure... my trip back to Montreal after thanksgiving. You'll have to ask me for all the details on that one.

August. My summer rocked.

April.

One. My own! I like my hair colour, thanks.
