39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2004: Even if you don't understand your friends, try to get involved even if they tell you to piss off, because I let mine go without being annoying and butting in and may have lost one of my best friends. I miss her so and even if she thinks this is all bull shit it's not, so please I want to see you before you leave, come to the New Year's party tomorrow night and bring your beau, I would love to see you guys. Oh and never tell your best guy-friend that you've secretly been in love with him when you're hammered, it just never goes well. I'll admit it I learnt a lot this year and I've cleaned up my image quite a bit, so I hope good things happen and everyone can learn to forgive me for the bad I have done this year. Love you all.
