What was the one thing you did in 2010 that made you happiest? Flew across the country to be at the wedding of my cousin whom I had never met and reconnect with my dad's (RIP) side of the family.

What was the one thing you did in 2010 that made you think "What the *#%^ was I thinking?" Volunteered with too many groups. I like to feel needed, but stretch myself too thin.

What was your favorite item you purchased this year? A t-shirt with sparkly images of wine glasses and bar glasses that says "Group Therapy."

What item do you regret wasting money on owning? A bunch of crap from my friend's candle party.

Was there any missed opportunities this year? What was it? Can't think of any.

What was your favorite movie from 2010? I don't think I watched any new releases this year... mostly older movies on Netflix. I re-watched "Stir of Echoes." Awesome movie!

What was your favorite album from 2010? The Black Keys - Brothers

Were you able to keep any of your New Years resolution from the beginning of the year? What was it? I don't make NY resolutions, but I did make some mid-year promises to make some changes, such as not letting a bad working relationship drag me down. It has done wonders for my morale!

If you could repeat 2010 again what is one thing you would have done differently? Saved more money... I made the mistake (after being laid off and having short term gigs lapse, and finally getting my old permanent job back) of living like I had job security. Then I helped support a friend who'd been out of work for a year and a half, and by September, I was back to living paycheck to paycheck again. So I am holding myself to some serious spending limits while I rebuild an emergency fund.

If you could pick the person to be "TIME Magazine's Person of the Year" who would you pick and why? Dan Choi - no explanation needed.
