Wow, this is corny...
Alrighty,
As everyone who reads this journal is I'm sure aware, it's now been a year since that fateful thanksgiving weekend last year where I got four pieces of really bad news that pretty much turned my life inside out and upside down, wreaking havoc on everything in it.
Well, it took me a year, but I believe I've finally stablized my life and gotten it under control. I now feel confident enough to really try and put the crap that the last 12 months were behind me and just focus on doing what I'm doing in the here and now.
To that end, I'd just like to say a few words of thanks to various people (I've alluded to writing this post in previous ones, but haven't really felt ready to do it until now). The list is much much larger than what I've listed below, but I've truncated it to the people that I know read this LJ, since listing the others would be kind of pointless. If I missed someone, I'm truly sorry but know that I'm sure you've helped me through difficult times at least once during the past year. Also know that I'm truly grateful.
DISCLAIMER: It's after 4AM here, but I'm quite coherent, these aren't random late-night babblings. Also, the last time I had something alcoholic to drink was around 38 hours ago, and it was only one glass (i.e. I'm very sober right now). Also, apologies in advance for the high density of sap that this post will ensue, but I feel it's neccesary.
So without further ado, here's the list, in no particular order:
Thanks...
Nicole: For putting up with me from October onwards last year in pretty much every single class. For grabbing some pho with me whenever I was feeling down and for patiently listening to me piss and moan about how terrible my life was when you had problems of your own to deal with.
Dan: For existing pretty much. For innundating me with good thoughts and positive emotions and for always giving me something to do so I wouldn't sink back into that ever-dangerous depression that I'd been battling.
Kim: For being like a second mom. For sympathizing and helping with your own experience and for always being ready to chat whenever I felt I needed it.
Li-Anne: For staying with me that first weekend, even though I'm sure you had better things to do. For being a constant source of happiness in what was a very bleak existence.
Ashleigh: For being my late night cronie in our quest to pass our courses ;). Also for chatting at 4AM in the morning when you could have otherwise been sleeping.
Angela: For making me realize that the Sun will shine again tomorrow. Also for making damn good curry (for a white chick ;)!)
Jerome: For being the voice of reason and hard-logic and preventing me from doing many stupid things. I hope you're not still pissed at me bud, but hopefully you'll read this and know that I'm grateful to you anyway.
Alix: For letting me prattle on about nerdy physics things even when you don't like physics ;) It helped a lot, believe me.
Katy: For making me strive to become the best possible person I could be, even if I didn't quite make it there. Also, for all the happy memories that have been a source of strength to me multiple times.
Taylor: For bitching and moaning along with me and again preventing me from doing things I'd later regret.
Victor: For staying up all night with me at a Tim Horton's on Yonge Street and chatting. For being a friend.
Alanna: For caring and for always being there when I needed you.
Wil: For being awesome. For having a zeal for living and sharing it with all those around you.
Jonathan: For hanging with me that first weekend and for just plain being a good friend when I needed one.
Alrighty - that's done, I am sapped out heh. And I need to go to work soon, excellent. Oh well hopefully you weren't too turned off by this, but I certainly feel better for writing it.
