I will not say anything about 2009 itself in these pages, except that it battered, bruised, beat, and basically bastardised me. You know about what good happened this year. The rest, will stay hidden.
Let's have a tradition, shall we? If you're not mentioned, it's because I have very little to say about you.
acorna_cat, congratulations to you and
kyle_attrill. You are proof positive that "what's meant to be will always find a way". I think of you during some of the bad in 2009, as I was tought about some of the stuff that was not meant to be. For you two, things worked out.
alice320, while this year seemed rocky for you and mutual friends, we seem to be talking again. That's at least something, let's see what happens.
angelica_0112 scares me some times, but that doesn't mean she wasn't one of the better things to happen in 2009. Thanks so much for a rather interesting friendship.
angelofmysoul, welcome to HKC Radio. Of all the people I would know, you were one of the last that I expected. Thanks for listening, and brightening up a day from time to time.
borrisinabox is still a freak. He will never stop being so. We don't want him to. Thanks for meeting up at ACB, that was certainly surreal.
dgl1984 has a similar message. you in particular need to be thanked for meeting up, you really showed something to quite a few people at ACB. Thanks.
Congratulations
freakyfwoof on your wife and child. 2009 has been a massive year for you. Here's hoping J. P. grows up to be like his father...Yes, I feel the name J. P. Louis sounds kinda neet.
freedomsong, do you still read this? Your comments from last year still apply. Thanks for...being, I guess.
gwennybird, you still manage to brighten up a day whenever I talk to you. Thanks for having that talent, among all your musical talents.
innocent_youth...Woe. Now here's another real major one. I gotta say, when I discovered you through one of your LJ coms, I didn't honestly think that I would've made a friend out of the deal. But guess what, I have, and more. A confidante, someone who provides amusement, and more, I over-used your name in these pages because it was, to be frank, warranted. To say no more of you, please, stick around...You rock, hard.
jdx_random, I think you may have changed a bit. But the one thing I miss most from you is your LJ writing. Please, get back on the blog, which you do just as well as everything else you do...Which you know, you do a hell of a lot of stuff well. Thanks for being one of the backbones of my internet radio world. Now don't live in a dumpster!
katiroth, I'm sorry it didn't work out for HKC Radio. But hey, shit happens. The door is still open if ever you wanna come back...
kd6cae doesn't change. 'twas good to meet you at ACB, and thanks for helping me to select Singlehop for the servers at HKC Radio, which was the best technical move I ever made.
kerrisayshi, I wish horrible circumstances hadn't been what caused us to regain contact. Fact is...they did. I'll see you on January 15. Thank you for returning.
kolbygarrison, can we talk more?
lightningcount8, ...wow. You are still one of my favorite conversationalists, and you now show me some real cool music that you didn't used to show off. Congratulations on making it in the promotional business.
lostgirl33, it's a shame what happened throughout this year, but you and I needed each other a fair bit through it. Thanks, again.
lostxinmyxworld is a lot of things I'd never imagined in a person, in particular a female, until I started actually talking to her. Anne, if I could say all I'd need to say, it would fill an entire entry. Thanks for being one of the best friends a guy could ask for when I needed it most.
murryprincess, hmm...This one's tough. We went through some rough stretches personally. But you're still cool and uber-crazy. Thanks for that, and enjoy your
HKC Radio career.
I'm going to jump down now to the last three...I'm only saying things to people whom I have some specific things I'd like to say.
sky_queen and I actually began talking again a little bit this year, then abruptly stopped. Heather is still as cool as she ever has been, though. Will we see new music in 2010?
solyndra is one of the sweetest girls I've ever met. The way you manage to balance warmness and humility is...incredible. More people would do well to follow your example. What's even crazier is how we got to talking...Very, very different/strange. Thanks for being another breath of fresh air this year, you crazy dutchy.
trek_west and i, it seems, are learning to hide things from each other. But that doesn't mean he isn't still my best friend. We seem to continue to have the talent of causing each other problems, but you are still the brother I never had. Thanks for the strangeness, and please, keep existing.
now, with this, I let 2009 go "Tango Uniform", forever. Long may it rot.
