AFTER DISCUSSING THIS with Serena on my way home from one of the posse's many escapades, I have come to the conclusion that this year has been generally good. Good for many reasons--I've learned a lot from all that's happened this year. Of all the years, I believe that this may be my favorite year yet. To list a few things I am grateful for this year:

2004, we've had some good times. We've smiled, laughed, ate at Sweet Tomatoes, watched movies, had waterfights, and ate at Sweet Tomatoes some more. You're one life-changing year, and I will always remember you. Note: Laziness and diminishing interest in what I'm doing leads to bad photoshopping. It's okay, though, cuz it gets the point across.
