Last words for ‘07

I think I’ve gone through a lot, and I hope I learned a lot too. One thing that I’m going to try to do, is open my horizons a bit and not keep my vision so shallow and narrow. I think what I’m trying to say, is best expressed through what Kenny said I should’ve made my new year’s resolution: “Don’t tie yourself down, at least not someone that doesn’t appreciate you.”

    I made best newcomers?
    YES!
    I would like to thank so many people, really. Myself for getting into parsons, kris louie for inviting us to have cake, ummmm….
    it’s just so unexpected!
    the academy obviously, and the circumstances and unequivocally odd sequence of random events that led to our friendship. as well as the bitchiness that brings us together!
