F*** you, Canadian Blood Services! Other than that....our stupid Mayor shutting down the SITE Van (they distributed safe inhalent kits)...and also, our INCREDIBLE DOOFUS of a Mayor deciding to continue on as Mayor AFTER he had been charged of bribery and something else under the Criminal Code in order to get his position.

40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
"You make me so hot
Make me wanna drop

You make me wanna scream
You're so fabulous
