97. I got a speeding ticket earlier this month and felt terrible about it
98. I wish I could see my nonChristian friends come to know God, but it's an extremely scary thought. What's even scarier is that most of them don't believe what will happen when they die.
99. I don't like goodbyes, and bawled every time I had to leave Brett and go back to school for the first semester of my first year. I still cry sometimes.
