Each year is like a box, a box filled with memories and experiences of that year, good and bad. We cansit back and look through the 2007 box at all the memories and experiences we had in they year 2007, and we can look at the empty box that is 2008 and imagine all the wonderful things that may fill it in the year to come.

What kinds of things are in your 2007 box?

What kind of things will you put in your 2008 box?

Me, I've spent '07 being 19, learning about and from the animals I love, and discovering who I really am. And now, as 2008 begins, I know just that much more about myself....

...I've been strugling to figure out how to make this little announcemaent, but I feel it's important I do.....it's something I've been thinking about for months now, a little feeling I've had, that something about me is....different....I say I'm an animal lover, but the truth is, that doesnt come close to describing my true self....but as of new years day '08, I finally realise just what it is about me that makes me different, and I better understand who I really am...

I...am furry. A lot of friends have told me it's my choice whether I'm furry or not, but I knownow that this is the way I am, like it or not. I've expressed a little apprehensiveness about being a furry in the past, I admit...but now I'm ready to acknowledge this part of me with pride, and I can say in all honesty, that I now truly understand what it means to be furry.

For better or for worse, this is who I am, the way I am...furry...and you know....I like me this way.

Welcome, 2008!

Lol, welcome to the Fandom then.

As for me '07, and the last few months of '06 have been some of the hardest of my teenage years. I don't really know what I've done last year except end one school year and start another. Last summer, for over a month I had a great family reunion with my mom's side of the family, under greiving circumstances of my grandfather's death. I learned a lot that summer.

Now in '08, I plan to get my diploma and move to California the moment I recieve it. Get a good job and live with one of my friends. That's my plans for this year.

Always good to be able to get out what you need to when you've got it all decided in your own mind.

As for my years of 2007, was also probably one of the toughest I've ever had. Spent half of it being eighteen, the other half nineteen. I ended the year finally getting over my needs to have a boyfriend again, however hard the last six months felt doing it, I got past them all. I also lost my grandmother who I never got to see after spring break, because she passed away while I was in my college dorm room. I spent the longest time away from my family, and felt the pull and comfort I needed with them and all of the friends I had left back home. Probably the sappiest year I will ever have experienced for myself.

As for moving into 2008, looking forward to trying out new things and moving forward with my life. Decided on my newest career position dealing with Computer Science (programming, hardware, software, networking, etc.), trying to find a place with good people to stay with and possibly be able to finally say I am living life off myself instead of staying at my parents house no matter how much easier life will be that way. I am making very good friends, even though some of them are moving away, and though I haven't known them for long I will be sad that I will not get the chance to see some of them before they are gone. First presidential election I get to vote in, woot. Probably going to Mississippi, Finland, Germany, Las Vegas, and Canada this year. Just all around hoping I do better this year, and the next and the next.
