You're the only friend I ever had
I don't know that I have any real resolutions this year. Blah blah, lose weight/join a gym, blah blah, learn to drive. Procrastinate less. The only thing I'm really concerned with is that I live to the fullest, that I'm happy - and that I make more memories like these. I've been going to do this for five months, and on Monday I decided to get it the fuck done before the year is out. I was too emo to do this right off the bat and then more and more things would pile up and it just never got done, but I wanted to post this for myself, more than anything.
I fucking LOVE these people more than you know. I think it's obvious from how we all dealt with being separated that they're incredibly special to me, but going through these... GOD GOD IDEFK. I can't EVEN. I had this whole thing typed out and I can't do it justice and it just ends up sounding trite, but. I have never smiled/laughed/cried over photos so much in my life. That's what I want for 2009. More of this.
I have other things that I'll hopefully get posted tonight or at least tomorrow, but this was so easily the most important thing to get done. AND LOLOL, I DID IT AT WORK. I essentially earned like £70 for this. Seriously.
I didn't take all of these - all of the photos of like, objects, buildings, art, landscape - those I took. I THINK I took all of the photos of people that I'm not in, barring the popsicle ones. I have no idea who took what there. I think Tiff took them all? OH OH. LISS TOOK THE SQUIRREL. Her picture of Spartacus is way better than any of mine are, lol.
Scranton/PA & New York Picspam - July 14th-29th
Umm, this is huge. Like, 164 500x300 images huge. Evidently not dial up friendly. We have literally thousands of photos between us, so this was restrained. Believe me.

JSHDFAJSHFA I feel like there's so much I missed, and I somehow missed our cake. I don't even know how that happened, and looking over this and adding text to explain little things? It is overwhelming as FUCK when I look at this year, and that's just with this entry. Without even considering fandom happenings, visiting Liss again, the election, the fact that I got to see Wicked twice (on two continents), stood outside the London premiere of The X-Files and saw David (again) and Gillian, work changes, finally seeing Aimee Mann and The Submarines being her support. This was, without question, the best year of my life. This took so fucking long to actually post that I clearly won't get anything else done, lol.
IT'S SO ON, 2009. You have a lot to live up to. Thank you so, so much for this year - to everyone who was even the smallest part of it. I love you, happy New Year, and I will see you in 2009. Which incidentally is now 35 mins away here, lol

EDIT: OMG, epic fail on the numbering. I added i's after all the duplicates, lolol
