I gotta say that I'm sorry to see 2004 go, and more than a little apprehensive about welcoming in 2005. I'm starting my new year off ambitiously, having already done 1.5 hours of rigorous cardio at the gym and vowing that this year, I will make a furvious attempt at polishing off my credit card debt (and that really is ambitious).

Yes, it's been a while since I've written. In addition to my regular hectic lifestyle to which I've become accustomed, I have also turned twenty-four this past Tuesday.
