Some songs are just so powerful. I'm a dork... (that's for Dave. And here comes "the because"...) because I almost start crying over songs that I know I have, and everything... and I guess you could say that the reason I like them so much is the fact that I will get sad over them. This one's new for my MP3 player, Fast Cars by Tracy Chapman. I find it an uncontrollably emotional experience. I didn't really cry though. I had a really nice random mix for my first four songs of the morning. I don't know why I'm listening to music right now. Hmm.. maybe it's because when a year ends, you have to be emotional in the morning. And music helps. Oh whatever.... Hah! I'm so glad I found myself an answer.
It has been a really good year for me, if I think about it. Sure, I've had some heartaches.. but nothing severe because I wouldn't know about that stuff. Just friend heartaches. Anyway, I had those, but all-in-all I've had a great deal of fun. With a great deal of fun people that I didn't even know, much less talk to, last year. It's weird because I'm scared to look-back (Heather, I tried the r-word and decided to just forget about it) at it all because I feel like it will slip through my fingers... and I get a lump in my throat... I can't even comprehend this summer. But I'm not thinking about it.

Oh goodness... this is too hard. There's like a million other things I can put down for 2001.
There's so many people I met/became friends with this year. Amy, Liz Goodman, Karrie, Dave, Jana, Heather, Jeremy, Nick, Csilla, Kim, Sara, Rachel, Dave Forni, RC hahaha...
WOW. I'm sure there's more too.
Yeah, I'm definitely feeling that whole slipping through my fingers thing right now. I need to stop thinking about it.
I'll just put it simply:
This year has meant a lot to me. All of the new friends and old friends give me something to look forward to. You've given me life... each and every one of you. Those of you that I no longer speak to, those of you that are just sometimes too distant, and those of you that give me smiles daily... all of you complete me. Thank you for giving me a wonderful year. I don't deserve you.
