I'd like to thank the Academy....ok i'm kidding. I'll try to keep this short and sweet (yeah right), and if i forget anyone...i'm really really sorry, you know i love you. *MUAH* Thank you to all those entertainers who are out there giving it their all every day. You inspire us and help us to believe that dreams really do come true. Don't give up, you have been blessed with sharing your talents with the world, cherish every moment of that precious gift. I forever admire and respect you for what you put on the line to achieve the dreams you have been so bold to follow. It was a pretty unique year for me this year, I've discovered many different things about myself, and the person that i'm becoming. There have been many people that have stood by me, and i wish i could thank them all, but that really would make this run longer than the average Academy Awards broadcast so i'll try and keep it to a minimum, but please know that if you aren't mentioned, it doesn't mean i love you less, i hold you close in my heart, and love you all the more for what you have done. To Megan, you make me prouder than just about anyone i know. You understood me where so few did, and you really have become someone that a treasure in my life. Don't let anyone ever tell you that your dreams aren't important or that you can't do anything....i believe in you to the end. To Lindsay, My little sis.....thanks for always being there, and always knowing when i needed you the most. You're a crazy loon, but i guess that's what makes us a pair. I love how we always laugh, and i can't wait until you come to Tech! To Mel, my frack, you stand by me and understand me. And somehow we've managed to make it through everything. The Power of the Frick and Frack lives on....and someday.....well you know.... To Lesley, we have so many memories crammed into one year it's crazy. I don't quite remember when we stopped being aquaintences and became friends. I sure am glad it happened though, we shared so many tears and laughs, it's hard to believe it's just been two years that we have known each other. Never forget 4/1/00.....i'll remember always. To Cindy, for helping me through one of the most difficult things i have ever done. And while we don't know yet where it is going or how it'll turn out, i know i can always count on you to be there when i need you most. It was a band that brought us together, but common experience that links us forever. Never give up on love :) To Rene, i nearly cry every time i read what you wrote in my birthday card this year. I treasure you in everyway, and you are everything that i aspire to be. You are the most beautiful person i have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Please don't ever forget me (or Bed of Roses!) To Casey, Weird how things work out, huh? I remember meeting you when i went to Shannon's to work on math lab, and then you started popping up everywhere. And somehow, through common experiences we bonded. There are the laughable ones (Jason the magazine hussler) and the serious ones (you should know what i'm talking about). I can't wait until junior year....until then...remember our Christmas wish. Leann, my Leeloo, and dear friend. This idea that came out of a conversation....what an idea huh? i don't know how long we've known each other now....but wow. That's all i can say, we've been through so much, and i hope that we will be able to share many more memories. Doing this site with you has been a blessing and a privlege. You are a beautiful person and i treasure your friendship. Jay, I don't even know where you begin with you. Just when i had given up on ever finding a best friend, you came into my life. And somehow, different as we are, we clicked and found a friendship, that to this day i'm amazed at. We were tested early and often, and we lived through it all. I know that we can make it through anything that life throws at us. Please know that i love you and always will. Thank you for being there for me....always.

First, I must confess that I am not an articulate person. So these will be my skeleton thank yous. Here we go... Well, first I'd like to thank Lauren. She's the better half of this site... and me. Yes... she is the levelheaded version of me... and without her, [the site] would all be crap. Totally. I love her. Next, I'd like to thank Becca for her conversation, her brightness, her enthusiasm, and her *warmth*. Haha. She's cool. It just wouldn't be right if I didn't thank Nicki. She's been there, she's listened, and she has understood me, and I love her for it. She makes things make sense. Hellos... I'd like to say what's up to Lucy, Liz, Lora, Jiggy, Angela, Victoria, Jenna, Elyse, Jessica and Donna. What's up. Lastly, I'd like to thank Kip Blowder for inspiration. Go go gadget... Love... as always... Your Leeloo xoxoxoxo
