Ten years ago today, I was in seventh grade.  I didn't really have any friends, and I knew it.  I probably spent New Year's Eve sitting up with my parents just glad that I didn't have to go to bed until later.  I knew that the whole Y2K thing was a load of crap, although I didn't really understand how big a load it was ( Read more... )
