Happy New Year's everyone!!!
I know I'd said that I'd post more last year.. and then... well, didn't. But hopefully this year will change. Melissa gave me the idea to do a photo a day thing where I post a photo a day ^_^ hopefully I'll be able to do it and that'll get me posting more XD
I was driving to work this morning and realized that I didn't make any new year's resolutions so I decided to just renew my one's from last year ^_^ [you can do that, right?]
Oh, and also add to try and procrastinate less.
This is the clock we used to make Miyavi's video comment. We wanted to say Happy New Year.... but well, you see what time it was. And Melissa didnt' even leave my house till like 3:30. My mom asked me the next morning what time she left and I just kinda shrugged XD

I'm gonna leave out the best 5 and worst 5 concert moments of 2008. a) cause I'm bored of this and b) cause I don't really know. I suppose the best 5 moments'd be almost the same as the best 5 concerts... but add in some innocent stalking and a few surprises. And I really don't know about worst moments...
