--404's last party...kind of a bummer because we were all so drunk and we had to all leave the next day...
--to gel my drinking buddy in 404. i understand why she wouldn't drink with me on weeknights...because she had class the next day, but i was screwed over every friday because she didn't have class till one and i had class at 9 and i had to wake up from being drunk and get to class....
--that one time me, bryan, and ana dropped ana off to santa cruz, and ended up staying the whole day. eating at the dc there, staying for an open mic. bryan and i being bored in the game room. ana going to class and junk while we took a nap in her dorm room...
--castro street halloween that never happened...except there was a fire alarm...

--having lunch everyday with rik and rosanne at the dc
--eating breakfast with rik sometimes...
--walking alone...to class, to the bus, anything alone...and it felt good and not bad...and those moments i wanted to scream and jump and yell and just proclaim that my life is good among the bad...
--when my sister called me and told me my dad collapsed and he was in the hospital...first time i ever cried and was scared, and i freaked out and called my mom and i was crying silently...but i dunno if i ever told my roommates about my dad. because i got drunk the night before i was supposed to visit him in the hospital.
404 we had our times. i'm sorry i pulled away...i'm sorry. i will miss it, i really will, now that i think of it, nothing will ever be like this again, and nothing ever will...but the bond is always there, and ya'll MADE my first year of college...you MADE IT...this is a life worth living...showing me i can have fun, let loose, be myself...for the first time. thank you for all you've done...for all we went through...all of the sadness, and the happiness...404 truly rocks for blocks...
