But since I was born during a blizzard , this somehow feels `` right '' . This past year had more ups and downs than Seabreeze Park 's `` Jack Rabbit '' coaster -LRB- my most white - knuckling ride of 2010 , actual ride-wise ) . Floods and confusion , enormously rewarding artistic ventures , and jobs that came and went with a sonic boom .
Still , I weathered those personal storms , and now I 'm feeling such a brilliant , warm upsurge of energy that it brings tears to my eyes .
Emotion: Joy
