Hey everyone.

Can you believe 2004 is over, in less than a couple of short hours? Shiiiiiitttt... yeah. I've been thinking about it long and hard, and I've realized, this year as a whole is probably going to be one that I'll remember for a long time. I've done so much, experienced so many new things, felt the highs and lows of life, and to tie it all together, met someone special.

Yeah, you read that right. I'm not one to be so flashy and public about who I'm with, but I might as well let it out, if you didn't already know. I haven't been single since like... late October, to the start of November. Her name's Marie, and I'm head over heels for her. Really.

Thinking about the year, from January to December, I've compiled a list of things that I felt were worth mentioning. So yeah, I stole Daniel's idea. But you know, it's like a compliment, cause it's an idea worth repeating.

So, the year big moments as I remember it, in as close to the right order as I can remember it.

-Hearing Yashu drunk and yelling at the neighbor's dog, when I spent New Year's Dave at home. Then switching the line to talk to Rian, who was the exact opposite, quiet and controlled. But still a lot of fun to talk to.

-Going to Scarborough and Markham for a couple of days, only to feel homesick. But not really. Because I had my guitar. Ohhh yeah.

-The ever-popular, ever mysterious Black Book.

-My public hatred of Computer class. Being Asian doesn't mean I know all about computers!

-Listening to Radiohead religiously. But not really religiously.

-Losing the Robotics competition, and feeling pretty shitty about it. But hey! I got to yell at people! Oh, and of course, "Jonathan, will you reach into my pants?"

-Spending March Break at home, gaming excessively. Oh, and skating.

-The Public Speaking speech I did.

-The one night where I slept for 4 hours.

-The Play Rehearsals, April '04, when I met Marie.

-The Play. "WHERE'S PETEEE!?"

-Gmail!

-The formation of KEY'D.

-Fantasia Film Festival, and all the people I went with.

-Halo at James'

-Finally learning Street Spirit

-Listening to Adrian talk for hours at EB. Those days were so long... but managed to be kinda fun.

-My niece's baptism.

-Seeing Garden State twice in theatres.

-Grade 10.

-Telling Marie I liked her, lots.

-Going to the Matthew Good Concert with Marie.

-Going to Battlenet and G-Zone with KEY'D, blowing each other up in BF1942.

-Seeing Shaun of the Dead.

-PRE-PROMMMMM!!!! Yeaaaaah that was an awesome night.

-When my dad said he'd get me an electric guitar as a late X-Mas present.

-That day I realized just how much I value my friends. Even though we can all be assholes to each other sometimes, the friendship we all have still manages to stay strong. I've been in conflicts with all of my friends at least once, and every time, we were all able to forgive each other and move on. That's fucking awesome stuff right there.

-Writing this out. My hands hurt.

That's all I can think of. Feel free to add.
Here's to a great year. 2004, it's been fun.

I wish you all the best in 2005!

Hugs and kisses!
