.: Ending :.
Well, as the year draws to a close, and having just read Becky-senpai's blog, I believe this year turned out pretty well for most all of us. "Us" being people I know. Despite a few things, like our troops still being in Iraq even though we should have been the hell out a long time ago, and if you ask me never there in the first place. But politics aside, there were a lot of good things that happened this year. For example, my best friend made it through. I know a few people who might have actually worried about my wellbeing because of him, even if they should have been worrying about him. I'm glad he made it through. And, I'm glad he took the time out to read this. At least he read the last one, so I'm thinkin' it wasn't so boring (although I do believe he said that it was) that he won't come back. But alas, blogs are not meant to be exciting.
Anyway, this is a harder blog to write. I'm deeply moved that I actually got a mention in Becky-senpai's blog, whether she knows it or not, she does now. It's like... I'm not entirely sure how to word it. It's like getting a signiture from your hero. It might not be worth much to other people, but to me, it's the world. I want to thank you. Arigato. Hah, and as you said about Kiwamu, and you being his "English teacher" you're my Japanese teacher. 99% of the Japanese I know is because of you. Arigato.
I'd like to say thanks to all the people I just met this year, for reasons abound. For just being someone to talk to, to being someone to play games with, I thank you. A bunch of the people I met don't read this, and probably never will (Algo for example), but that's fine. You can't have your cake and eat it to as the saying goes. But I'd like to thank them nevertheless.
As the time for this year slowly ebbs away, I don't think I'll ever realize how crucial this year was for me. So much has changed over the year, and I think I've changed a lot. Hopefully for the better. And not just the plain and unimportant things, like how RO is boring now, while this time last year I was addicted.
Just a complete sidenote, I was just daydreaming there, wondering what it must have been like to be the first beta-tester for RO. Did they immidiately turn their back on it? Or did they embrace it... I won't know what that person did, but I think if it was me, I would have embraced it. At least for the time it took for another person to find it. And I can't imagine how much different my life would be if I wasn't that way. I know I've blogged about this before, but I think now is a good time to repeat it. I owe a lot of thanks to techno_da_peace. Even if he never finds me--and I don't know any way he would be able to--he is the sole reason I am where I am. That kid showed me a lot of things about myself; indirectly I learned who I am. To myself and in front of others. In the end, he's the reason I ever met my best friend today, and my best friend is the only reason I ever met the person I love. Thanks, Jordan. For everything.

I figured why post twice, I have news to say, not about what the rest of this was about. Not even "news" per se. Just, a sort of recap of what's happened since my last blog. Yesterday (30th) I went over to a LAN party at Matt B's house. I had a lot of fun, met some new people, played a few new games. Realized how crappy my computer is. It's almost funny that even though my computer is the best in the house, it's by no means able to play half of the new games that are coming out at any respectable level. I'm thinking about getting a job so I can upgrade it, but I doubt I will in the end. I should though. All the things I could do when I get a job... Oh well. I got a call from Truman State University two days ago that I returned yesterday, and I learned that the NSA was hiring computer science majors in college. It seems tempting, although kind of odd. I don't know if I'll take it (try to at least), mostly because of that. I'm friends with a communist, a nazi, and a bunch of other people who don't really fit well with society. And cool as they are, I don't think I'd want to ditch them. Not that taking a government job would be ditching them, but I know I'd lose quite a bit of respect. But a job is a job, no? And the pay is pretty good for an intern job, at 25-34k annually. Eh, too early to say. I'm still not even sure if Computer Science is the right major for me. Ah whatever. I don't feel like writing anymore right now... Just sleeping. Which I can't do, even though I was up for the past 36 hours with only 3 hours of sleep inbetween it all. Maybe another can of soda will keep me awake. Or some more .hack//SIGN that I just finished downloading ^^. Maybe with a job I could actually afford to buy the series... And Hellsing. They deserve money too. Even donate to lokitorrents.com ... Alright. Happy New Years to all of you. May the new year be as good as this one ended.

Geeeez. I'm all touched now. >.> Of course I'd mention you in my blog... I still can't comprehend how you managed to put up with me through all that, for all those months. Only one other person resisted giving up on me, and that was my cousin who kinda has to live around me whether she wants to or not. :P
Thanks, man. I'll never understand what you or anyone else sees in me, especially after what I once put you through... but thanks. I hope 2005 is all you could want it to be too.
Aw, you word it badly. I didn't have to "put up with you", I merely had to spend time with you. Which I enjoy doing ^_^
