"I know I can love you much better then this...

I'd like to start out with a general all encompassing thank you to everyone who is or ever was my friend. Thank you for keeping me sane, for accepting me as I am, and for just being you. And now for the shoutouts...

I have to start with Jess. Girly you are such an amazing person and I'm so honored to be your friend. I swear we were destined to become friends because we just have such great 'chemistry'. I love how you always know what I'm thinking, and you get my odd little quirks like no one else. Thank you so much for helping me make this page what it is.

If I could be stranded on a desert island with only one other person it would have to be Christina T. You are my best friend in the world, and you have no idea how much I love and miss you. But, no matter how far apart we are you will always have a special place in my heart. I hope we can grow old together and live in a big old victorian house with lots of cats, sitting around and knitting scarfs.

How odd is it that my two closest friends are named Christina? Christina S. I absolutly adore you! You make everyday here in the middle of nowhere fun just because you're you. No matter what happens, you will *always* be beautiful to me, and you truely deserve someone who can make you deliriously happy. And you will find that someone, trust me. And your hair rocks.

Hey big brother! Adam you are possibly *the sweetest* guy I know. You deserve every happiness this world can bestow upon you because you've earned it. I am so honored to call you my friend, and I hope that we remain close over the years to come. I will always have a hug for you when you need it.

Buffy!! Kate, I so miss our late night Buffy chats and doing SCUM together. You are possibly the most outspoken person I know, and I love you all the more for it. Though frankly the idea of you being in control of a large nuclear reactor scares me. Just please don't turn into a glowstick okay?! Love ya, and remember blond screws all the way.

Sometimes we never realize what we have until we can't see it anytime we want. Erica, I know that you are happy in your life with Ed, and your job. But, I won't lie to you and say that I don't miss you. I wish we lived closer together so that we could make up for the years of lost sisterly bonding time. But, I know that no matter where life takes us we will always be sisters...nothing can take that away from us.

I don't know if you'll ever read this, but I hope one day you might. Craig, you are more then my cousin, more then my godfather, you are the father I wish I had. You are possibly the only person in this family who knows the real me, and accepts that person at face value. I trust you more then anyone else, and when I first went away to school I didn't miss my parents, or even my friends, as much as I missed being able to see you. Thank you for loving me. ETA: Knowing that you have read this, I just want to thank you for your continuing love and support.

There are so many other people I need to thank, but I haven't the words to express my feelings for them, and anything I would say would sound shallow and trite. But, to these people, you know who you are, I may not say it as often as I should but I do love you, and if you ever need me I'll be here for you. The same way you've always been there for me.
