Sometimes I'm just a big old goof...

About once a month, i get reminded about how important friendships are, and how I don't really show how much I appreciate how much my friends do for me every day; I'm constantly forgetting to say Thank You, and that can really hurt someone. So...

Penny, thank you for being there longer and more consistently than than anyone else in my life, with the exception of my parents. You and Brittany are more like family to me than 98% of my real family.

Crystal, thank you for loving me and understanding me better than anyone on this planet... I mean, *really* understanding me. Since I met you, depression has become a foreign emotion to me.

Mathew, thank you for having been there for me to help ignore the pain of my own stupid decisions. Hopefully, I won't have to return the favor.

Chris, thank you being the best thing in my best-friends life. She deserves and needs a man like you, and it has done absolutely nothing but make her a much better person than I have ever known. Oh, and also thank you for teaching me to cook, and to avoid being a danger to Public Health.

Will & Sam, thank you for making me overcome my irrational fear and hatred of alcoholic beverages, and also for giving me a chance to brush up on my English-to-American interpreting skills.

...And to the rest of you, all the people I've met on LiveJournal, thanks for reading and looking at my thoughts as they come out. I really appreciate it, and enjoy reading your entries as well!
