2007 was pretty alright. Parts of it sucked. But a lot of it was really, really good and fun. Overall I loved most of it and I'd say it;d probably get second place to 2006, but maybe first because my friends were seriously fantastic no lie and I've finally found a group of people I really feel like belongs together.
