A VERY LATE HONORABLE MENTION!!!!
This goes out to...Sarah Smith
...who for the last 6 months or so has put up with a pal dating her...brother. Under the unfamiliar circumstances, she and I maintained an AWESOME friendship that did not waver under the impending relationship drama, and ultimate break up. Another kid I admire for her ability to separate the drama from the rest of everything, and move along happily. (She's also got this uncanny ability to keep a positive (bubbly) attitude through awkward situations and somewhat 'yucky' times). So for, like, ever-thang, dear, THANKS :-D sorry this was late!
