Last night, for what ever reason, I decided to search for my old blog. One that I created years ago, while I was in undergrad. No, you can't see it... at least not with my help, but that's not the point here. My point is that I learned a few things about myself in the process of rereading my old musings:

- The summer of 2004 was truly the best time of my life. My first summer out on Boston Harbor, lost a ton of weight, felt good, but most importantly started dating C, to whom I am now engaged. It was a pretty awesome time in my life, but I can't say that I would go back and do it all over again. I've grown so much since then, and it's a neat process to see.

- The winter and spring of 2004 were an exceedingly angsty time for me. I was dealing with a lot of shit, and realize now how shitty it was to be around me (thanks for the heads up, jerks). I also had forgotten how awesome the people who supported me were (C, Handy, Jen, Danie, Heidi, etc). So, since I'm sure I didn't say it then, thanks.

- Sadly, I also learned that I was a horrendous abbreviator and letter skipper. On purpose. It's insanely juvenile, and really annoying, and if any of you are carryover readers, my bad.

It was neat to read about my life years removed from the happenings. It made me realize how insanely good the good times were, and also that even though there were bad times, and there will continue to be bad times, things are ok in the end. That's got to count for something.
