A year in pictures

I decided to take Rusty’s idea and run with it. I probably got a little carried away, but hey, I like photos. You’ll notice I only posted photos of positive/happy/fun occasions - not because I’m trying to rewrite history, but because I think it’s important to focus on the good. As such, you won’t see any photos of the crappy old apartment and related drama, the Platinum Stages pole saga, or other stupidities of 2007. This is a retrospective of all the good stuff that happened this year!

Also, this is not a post that will be kind to folks on slow connections. I’ve placed the photos below the cut (as they say on LiveJournal); you’ve been warned!

Looking back, it’s true that there was a lot of drama and unpleasantness in 2007; but overall I can’t complain. Rusty and I are together, which makes pretty much anything suck way less than it would otherwise; and we’ve had some really good times this year. All in all I consider myself very lucky, and I’m looking forward to more goodness in 2008.
