Last Post of 2008!!!!

Ok, last post of the year! This is going to be the best post EVER!!!! Right? Whatever, I do not succumb to such pressure.

Let's first go to a little quiz that I borrowed from Melissa B @ The Scholastic Scribe . It tells you who your celebrity soulmate is. Now - I think my real life celebrity soulmate is Orlando Bloom. I mean I talked about him here. And here. And, well, here too.....you get the picture....

So....

Well, you bet your booty its him!!!!!

And, I didn't even have to cheat! Seriously!

He loves me too....he just doesn't know it yet!

I am just so excited about the new year!

You know, its not just the end of the year....but the end of an era!

And so to celebrate.....I present to you....the last BUSHISMS OF 2008!!!
