2007 is at an end...

I'm sorry I never updated while I was in Boston, but I will have all sorts of reviews and pictures up for you coming soon. This blog is about 2007. The end of the year has come, and what have we all accomplished? So many things have happened this year, and I have so many people to thank for making 2007 one of the greatest years so far. I guess we will start from the beginning.

I brought in the year 2007 the same way I bring in every year, sitting at home, watching the Disney channel special, and waiting for the ball to drop in Times Square. I wasn't worried about the things to come, or all the changes that would be occuring in my life this year. Little did I know, a lot would be changing. The first few months of this year, I was in and out of the hospital, getting tons of tests done, and waiting to hear what was wrong with me. All of you were there for me, even on my birthday while I was sitting in the hospital waiting for more test results. After that was all said and done, the year got better. I met some amazing new bands, and amazing new people. But, I still hadn't seen the Jonas Brothers since December, and that upset me. March rolled around, and I was finally able to make it to a show, because I didn't have a prior commitment, so Danielle and I roadtripped up to Clifton Park, partied in the hotel lobby with some amazing new friends, and waited outside from 2am in the freezing cold. That was the day I knew everything was changing. It had all progressed so there went from being 100-150 people at a mall show in December, to there being over 700 at a mall show in March. I was upset, I was sick, and one person I knew I could count on to cheer me up, did, or tried to, with everything he had. I would give a lot just to go back to when he would do that for me. The next few months of the year, nothing extremely amazing happened. In May, I was able to start seeing Click again, with a new member. I knew he was drop dead gorgeous, and I knew I had to like him better that I liked the drop-out at the time, but I didn't know kpat and the whole new sound would become another obsession. I had missed them a ton, and was finally glad to see them over a year and a half after the last time we had parted ways. So I went to a few more Click shows over the next few months, and then to a ton more Jonas shows, I didn't care how everything was becoming. There was the shows in Lodi and Hershey, and Westbury andPhilly, and the CD release shows. They were some exciting times, but I was starting to change. My "best friends" all just deserted me. We didn't talk, we didn't see each other, we didn't do anything. It was hard to have everyone there for you one minute, and the next, nobody is by your side, helping you to stand up when you fall. I started to notice changes in people, and I didn't know what to think of it. I spent my time in the last few months with my family, and what few friends I had that still talked to me. It seems as if everyone was going through something similar. Most of us are striking up conversations with each other again, and even making plans to hang out, but we were all at a low point. We realized that things were never going to be the same, and we didn't know what to do about it. We decided to let it blow over, and maybe complain a little here and there, but we knew that we couldn't change any of it. Within a matter of 7 months, things totally blew up in our faces. All the hard work we put in. All the time and dedication, went down the drain with thousands of screaming twelve year olds. I didn't know what 2007 would hold, but I sure didn't think it would become the year of the Jonas. That it did. I am so proud of everything these boys have accomplished. They deserve everything they have and so much more. Except, we have all realized that they need to take a break. This whole non-stop touring, no sleeping, always performing thing, doesn't seem too healthy, and the last few months of this year, I have been worried to death for these boys. We know that no matter how much has changed for them this year, and how much they have changed as a person, isn't going to stop us from being there for them until the very end. 2007 was just the beginning for them, and now we have 2008 to look forward to. In November, I spent time with my friends and family, went into the city with one of my best friends, and just had some time to relax. Then in December, I was going non-stop. I had to get everything ready for my trip, and find time to get over being sick. I met a ton of AMAZING new people, and spent precious time with some amazing older friends. Then I went to Boston for two weeks. Went to see Jonas and Hannah/Miley, saw Mitchel, went to Jingle Jam, and met Drew, who I have been waiting to meet for ages, and even started talking to people again that had backstabbed me and I forgave them. A new year, another chance. I spent time with my friends family, and they were nothing but nice and generous to me. And that brings us to New Years Eve, where I did the same thing I normally do. I sat there, watching the tv specials, waiting for the ball to drop. But this year, it was different. Three boys that I know and love were the ones on the tv rocking us into the new year. The twelve months of 2007 have gone by so fast. I still can't comprehend some things that went on this year. It takes such a short amount of time for everything to change. And 2007 was such a great year that I hope 2008 is even better. New tv shows, new movies, new CD's, new tours, new friends, new experiences. So here is to you 2007, you will always be one of the best years in my book. I love each and every one of you, and I'm sure to make a ton of new friends this year, but you guys are the best, and I don't know what I would have ever done without you in 2007. I love you.

Watch out 2008, here we come....
