I can't do this, every time I start a toast I start to cry.

To Sarah Bruns, for that summer now so long ago you thought I'd forget and for being there always. I'll always remember our 'self testicular examinations', but more than that I'll remember how you were there when I needed you most.
To Jenna Chung for signing both ways
To Jessica Wu for 'secrets', being my 'owner for a day' and not believing I'd fix the pen
To Kara Shamy, you were my first girlfriend and my first first kiss. You could never know all you truly meant to me. Though 'we' didn't work out, you began what CTY meant to me. You opened my heart to a world I thought had left me cold and alone. You opened my eyes that I may see again. I shall never forget you nor your verbal meanderings
To Eric Johnson for being the only one in geometry
To Lana Cohen though you didn't get a guy and you were a spermie, you were my spermie
To Susan Trenlatt for spelling C-a-r-l-i-s-l-e and soccer, and of course salt and pepper creations

To Wolfgang for the damn-spiffy-eggplant-helluv-mad-phat-bombass-shit-bitch vegan biscuits, ska, and your hair
To Katie Davenport, for 'group orgies', decapitating blades of grass, writing too much on my shirt, and being my first french kiss. Why I decided to hold you that first day I still don't know, nor do I think I'll ever. But I'm glad I did. Perhaps you really were a sperm but in my mind you were the same as the rest of us.
To Lizzie Everton, for being at peace, telling me I'd find someone though you knew I wouldn't listen, and the 'z chromosome' revolution. For loving the Doors and giving in to dance with me. But mostly for being there as no one else ever had or has since. You are the only person I've ever met who understands me. I could never forget all those times we talked, nor could I forget the dances. Perchance only you knew me because I only fully shared myself with you. When first I met you I thought I loved you, now I know I do- but not in the lustful way I thought. You were and are so much more than any simple lust or love could be. Thank you for being my soulmate though you never knew, thank you for understanding. I shall love you forever more
To Jacob Remes for blues jams
To Matt Weinstein for appreciating the sexiness of Katie's nose
To Sarah T, for introducing me to all my friends, techno, the gold plated jacket, and army fatigues. For blue hair, e-mails, 'hope for the flowers', and all you never knew you did for me. You changed me more than anyone else, you helped me find myself and for that there can be no repayment. Just know this: I will be there when you fall asleep over homework to cover you with a blanket and make you cocoa and mulled cider as you wake
To Steph Sam for not making my frog squishid and those times I can't remember
To Tonia for being there and reading my poetry, and for approving of me and Katie. And for yelling at me when my e-mail got to be too much
To Aime Cileste Hoffman just because

To Paige Zeller, for elbow sex, the laundry room and library and the times therein. For informing others of the everyday spork.

Thank you for making me special, French kiss
To Marisa Bass despite all the Scott stuff. hand massages are free anytime
To Bill the TA for volleyball though I left by the time you set it up
To Jade Miller though you didn't come back you did in spirit

To Jackie Bodine, everyone told me to avoid you, though I don't know why. I'm glad I didn't, and though we didn't meet sooner I shall never forget you nor our last dance
To Sara 'Scully' Metzger, for gateway, swing and a wonderful third year. But more so for notes and warm fuzzies. For the time we did spend this last year. I shall most certainly never forget the last dance when we hugged and cried, and thank you for not pulling away. I guess somewhere deep down I always knew, but I thought I knew I didn't. After all we've done at CTY and in reunions this doesn't seem all too long a toast. But then there are things words could never say, and things that could never be explained. Despite what might have been what was was great, and I would still stay forever young with you
To Jennifer Liu for burning pennies
To Eryka Lefrak for all the advice with Paige, Jackie, and Sara. Though we didn't keep the best of touch you did much and one day the matchmakers match will be made
To Smurf 'nice shoes wanna fuck?' damn-spiffy... whatnot and all and for closing the Talent Show
To Elley Strehl York is better than New York any day, well at least we had good times. 'hell yes Elley S'

To Alice Esteves for biting my tummy and all the damn-spiffy...
To Alley Hector for all the innocent origins and appreciating the punk in greasy-looking hair. And expecially for being there and for a shoulder to cry on
To Jenny Getting and all the couching and whatnot
To Xia, for math modeling, infinitely infinite, the goat and hickory sticks, pizza during the flood, !yes!, reunion subway trips, birthday parties, football games, all all that other shiznit we've done
To Kim for being there and being the last to sign, Katie(my horsy) says she's sorry for always strangling you
To Kelly 'Keroppi' for the marriage booth, keroppi shirts and generally kicking adz. About the stuff with Sarah T, or actually lack there of, you got a raw deal- CTY knows not what they lost
To Jane as you wander around I'll keep one ticket just for you
To Katie Thompson for volleyball and chasing soccerballs in Kline
To Meaghan for taking me to the hospital, and being your first hospital trip buddy
To Lara Margolis since you were one of the first I met that year we should've gotten to know each other better
To Sarianna Sabbarese, for tabricating and table warp and all the poetry. For all the talks we've had over e-mail and the times we've still yet to have. For being a soulmate, and for running away with me whenever I need
To Andrew Townie Grrr for commuting to Carlisle and the mad phat guitar and general spiffiness. 'we're here, we're queer, and who's got the beer?'
To Amanda for time warping and dancing for the slow dances. For spiffy pants and Dead Poets Society, I will always be your teddy bear and if you change I'll be there
To Nick Hudac for being the punk I never was
To Dave Rand, for being from Ithaca but more importantly for knowing me as the laundry room kid and the bass kid though never knowing me. For all the sleepovers and banging on the walls, and 'wish you were here' though we didn't get in. And for the poetry reading song, crossdressing Tuesday and having the better skirt I eventually wore, SODOMY, the goat says to 'crank it up fuckers', pizza during the flood, roasting marshmallows, mylar forever. You were more to me than you ever knew, and you didn't let it change you.
To Catherine Waggoner for keeping Liz's hickies in check
To Jeff Morrow for not being sexy but loving lentil loaf and lepers anyway
To Blair Brogan for also keeping Liz's hickies in check and hoping I'm male. And I am sorry about your flashing bra, though it was fun.
To Liz Angellla-Brem Innus Wriggly-Field, for every moment of this past year and reconsidering. And for walking you home, loving my hands, being tangled in a heap in the quad 3 lounge, hickies, setting up the Oki picture, 'nice shoes wanna fuck?', hair dye, table warp and tabricating, can I warp your wood?, trying to turn Marc Schul inside out, making sense when I don't, even though you really don't make sense, needing Mao interpreted, nevertheless trying to fit my entire horse in your mouth, trying to be me on dress-up day, helping to overthrow the lipstick dictatorship, green m&ms... melting, bubble wrap, tickle noises, getting me kicked out of your class repeatedly, <raise eyebrow><scrunch nose><fish face><stick out tongue>, letting me ruin Blair's flashing bra, being carefully edited out of every yearbook picture, proving indeed one CAN be soapy and grungie simultaneously, closing ceremonies in ATS, and every other special moment. No matter what becomes of us you shall always hold a special piece of my heart. You are perchance the best thing to happen to me, and I shall never forget a moment of our times. I love you forever always
To Beth Goldstein and Zinnia and others for whom I tie dyed various articles of underwear
To Zinnia for being at Xia's birthday party and having a school like a soap opera
To Nell for being there for me with Katie and this last year. Sorry I didn't call first night home, I'll call tonight
To Dan Wagner though admittedly I wasn't fond of you at first.
To Guinivere for the flaming red hair and the greatest Magenta, despite your meddling you were still special.
To Rebecca Froom, though I never knew you at CTY, I heard of you, but nothing I heard could prepare me for the wonder of your presance. You've been so much more for me and I've let you get so much closer than I ever thought could happen. For all the poetry and listening to mine, for all the late nights, and prom, and not leaving me just because you went home. For everything we've done and for just being you and understanding, I love you.
To swing dancing in the fountain at LOVE park, many joys and frostbitten toes.
To L, I never knew you either, but with all the ICQ and calling my mailings a newsletter, thank you.
To Carlisle's individually paced precal. '94 and '95, biology and chemistry '96, and adv. math modeling '97 and their teachers, TAs, and all my classmates. Perhaps not in the most memorable way, but you made CTY what it was and without you all I'm sure my bestist memories would nare have come
To couching and your memory, as well as all those who at one time decided hang out on the couches in the HUB. These places birthed for me memories of rantings, the 'z chromosome' revolution, meeting Lizzie, friends, Sarah T and Old Chevie, the times we danced in the HUB, and too many more to remember
To the tablewarp and tabricating perchance one can not explain this time, and though you never did become an activity, nor did the table come into my possession you brought me Liz and Sarianna together and led to Liz's inevitable discovery of soapy-grungieness. To whoever left the All in quad 9 we'll pay you back, someday
If indeed one can toast a day:: To crossdressing Tuesday and every male willing to wear a skirt or more, not to mention all the unoffended women, and of course Dan for revealing the lipstick dictatorship, as well as Liz and her numerous signs, Dave for letting me wear his better skirt, and even Marc Schul for inspiring you to becoming more than just another Tuesday
To the guy at Papa Johns who delivered our pizza to quad 10 despite the flood, we probably should've tipped you more
To fitting 27+ people at the large round tables and the HUB workers who didn't care and let us have our moment on the last day, so no one could move let alone eat or even take pictures we'll always remember
To tea cooler and all the riots you caused, those who were willing to drink you received the wonderful feeling of nausea and melting
To the Time Warp and to Sarah T, Guin, Hudac, Amamanda, Xia, Pierre, Grrr, Eliza, Aime, Jeff, Elley, Smurf, Charlene, Lisa, Alex, Molly, Alley and everyone else in the crew for braving to be taken out by the locals and arranging the dance
To all those I gave roses to you know who you are, some kept theirs in coke bottles, some dried them for their memory book. Every rose I gave was for at least one special moment with you I'll never forget, and every one of you made me who I am or at least helped me find who I am. I love all of you and to me you are CTY
To CTY and everything it has done for me. For changing my life, my first girlfriend, my first kiss, and my first good friends. For stairway, American pie, and forever young, and for the dances and all the women I danced with, getting poetry published, inside jokes, and finding people who care. For all you are and were and everyone therein, and all the innumerable memories, and songs, and dances, and pictures. For roses and everything you taught me. For telling me I could change the world and showing me how. For teaching me what love is and more importantly how to, thank you. For marriages and sideshows, and 'oy!' and tears. And for showing me the world, or how it could be. There is simply too much to say, too many good times and friends. Too much joy and too many memories. One may think you were just a little too much, I thought you were just enough. And this year, my Nomore year, I see perhaps it wasn't enough. They say 'all good things must end', I guess the best just end a little sooner. But to all the Nomores this year and those who've gone before me, to those who'll return next year and those after them: CTY is a magical place, the last from a time of enchantment. You never know what you have until its gone, but I bet you know like I that it is special. Times change and CTY too like all things, but you will forever be the world of magic and love. If somehow that is lost, in at least our hearts you will live on. CTY, you have made us forever young.
To Eliza for encouraging us to stay cool and the zoo reunions. And for your inspiration and love. There are people who know exactly what to say, and when not to. Who can cheer you when you're down, and help you when sadder, who are always there to tell your life to or give a shoulder to cry on. There are certain people who bring out the best in us and ignore the rest. You are the kind of friend we all wish for and too few of us find. Some of us save the best for last, I know my years at CTY are such; I knew you only for this last year, but you make the last the best.

--Stephanie Sam

First and foremost, to all the LLRTers and couchers who taught me the true meaning of friendship.
To Tarpy; though I didn't know you well and only met you the first year at Lancaster, I still miss you just the same.
To Ben, for Thembold and all those slave girls. I hope you've finally come to terms with your father's death.
To Diana, Erin, Cassie, and Bonnie- Always remember the squirrels and their evil plot, the attack jello, the spelling bee, and all the fun we had.
To Randi, my friend, my confidante, my fellow show-tunes lover, and most of all, my sister- CTY hasn't been the same without you here. The Mad Women of the Forum will guard you always.
To Dennis, Noah, Ariel, and all the rest- Thank you for letting me share in your world last year, even if I was only a single cloud in the upper stratosphere. You guys are incredible.
To Improv Troupe '96 (Dennis, Dave, Emily, Rootabega, Beth, Jason, and anyone else I forgot)-I will always treasure memories of VCR, Poetry Corner, and all of you.
To Improv Troupe '97 (CRABS JED)-Riverdance, rinas, Ed's violin solo, the SRA's home planet, Rebecca's "And they call themselves straight?!?", Daniel's green denim shorts ("jeans"), and all the rest of it. I love you all.
To Kara- for showing me that summer theatre can be just as funny, frustrating, and amazingly wonderful as the real thing. Also for the shirt second session last year.
To Pratima- Yes, I will dance with you.
To Maggie- I have to confess, I like you better. Don't tell Emily.
To Diana G- The Happy Magic Tree Beaver holds a permanent place in my heart along with your amazing poetry.
To Emily (Cleopatra and also one of the Improv Troupe '96 members I forgot)- I missed you this year. I'm sure you missed Dave just as much.
To Kristl- Wearing your bra last year was quite an experience. Did I ever tell you you're a champion bra-stuffer? Anyway, I guess the shuttle thing didn't work out as planned, but I'll still have all the memories from last year to guide me.
To Jackie, my first CTY girlfriend- Okay, I take back everything I said about you when we broke up. You're pretty cool.
To Jamaila- I'm sorry I never wrote to you like I promised I would. Sometimes things don't work out the way you originally intended. You were a precious resource last year, and I squandered you looking for someone better. Forgive me.
To Meredith (aka Bonnie)- Your Abbott and Costello was fantastic, and so were you. One of the things I most regret is that even if I come back next year, you don't have that option. I will never forget you.
To Emily- Every year I went to CTY, you always seemed to be there. You even followed me to Carlisle. Unfortunately, you now live in far-off Britain, so I doubt I'll see you again. I'm sorry about your fling with Steve, and I hope your future relationships work out better than that one did.
To Marney- I remembered you this year and was glad that I did. Your performance in "A Marriage Proposal" was fantastic. Don't let Ben get on your nerves; he grows on people.
To Dok- You are the MAN! From Improv to Magic to choosing between MIT and Harvard, you just don't leave anything out. I know for certain that you are destined for greatness.
To Zine- If Dok's the man, then you are the WOMAN! Your opera singing rocks, you dance better than Shivani (and, dare I say it, many of the rinas), and you are without question the happiest and kindest person I know. Meeting you made my entire session worthwhile.
To Eliza and Aaron- You will forever hold the title of "Cutest Couple" in my memory.
To Marley- BOB!!!
To Moti- "It's time for necrophiliacs . . .", S:tM forever!
To Reb(r)ecca- Thanks for two great years. "I'm so lonely!"
To Lewis (Bob^3)- Thank you for all your advice last year. Only after the session was over did I realize how true it all was.
To Ben (That Kid)- I don't know what happened to you. You completed our quartet of This Kid, That Other Kid, and This Other Kid.
To Eugene- Lay off with the shampoo and remove the clamp.
To Shelley and the rest of the Dubbs 1 gang- I'm still traumatized from all that Alanis, but I did enjoy when you painted my nails.
To Greg- You proved my theory about what REALLY smart people like to do. You are my favorite nonconformist.
To Tina and Xia, collecively and separately- You two will always live on together in my mind.
To Leah- Geez, it was only a firefly.
To Pierre- "And for best interpretive dance, the nominees are . . ."
To Guinevere- For teaching me the fine art of the timed breakup.
To Isaac (oops, I mean Ryan)- 'nuff said
To Janet- You are one of the most unique people I have ever met. Stay that way.
To Dave (aka DEVA aka Ferret Boy)- Okay, so maybe I got a little carried away.
To Katie (KD, Komodo Dragon)- Your guitar and singing skills never cease to amaze me.
To Wolfgang- I will never forget you and your peanut butter heart. The matzah thing was good.
To Ben- I can't believe you skipped rehearsal! Oh, well, all is forgiven. You're a funny guy, with the best facial expressions I've ever seen.
To Dave, the world's funniest semitic bastard.
To Anne and Alie, the inseparable lesbian lovers who share a brain. Hey, you guys said it, not me.
To Ryan and Julia- Are you guys ever apart?
To Beth- Love the paper, baby.
To Trevor- Once again, you look like Annie, sound like William Wallace, and smell of haggis. Hey, watch it with that coke bottle!
And finally, to all my CTY friends, past, present, and future, and to anyone whose name was missed by my brainstorming for this collection of toasts. I love you all, and I pray that I will meet you all again in the future.

Here's to that great person who's loving, caring, trustworthy, friendly, comforting.
May the CTYer in each and every one of us live forever.
All good things come to an end. "And so castles made of sand..." Or do they? 1997 was my last session of CTY. Not my NoMore year. But my EverMore Year. Because I will always be a CTYer. Here's to the promise of life after "death." And here's to never having to say goodbye. Instead, I say to you, "Au revoir; to the re-seeing."

--Amanda Jenkins

To Kristi, because she lives so close and can let me pretend that I am still at CTY by wearing my lanyard afterwards, trying on tube dresses in the mall, and talking about Tarzan's scanty clothing and pecs.
To Paula, whom I love even though she hated me for a while.
To Carrie, who taught me what a truly caring and unselfish person really is, for having a gorgeous singing voice, and for letting me be her friend!
To Casey, who let me bitch to her all night, every night, for shaving her legs with me at one in the morning, for harboring illegal flashlights, for eating my exboyfriend, and for just being a really, really, cool person, the likes of which you won't meet everyday!
To Ali, who made the kickass survey with me, made my sperm year so awesome, and let her hair go WILD with me at the dance!
To Josh, just for being a Backstreet Boy, a cool kid who eats multicolored cotten candy with me, and for wearing the cool newsies hat. But not for insulting Navy since Army really does suck and I'll never think different. GO NAVY!!!!! But I love him anyway.
To Big Ben, who probably thinks I am a basketcase, but was an awesome friend anyway when I was going through hard times, cried with me, and, most important of all, made me laugh (and let me steal his Hackey Sack...). Also for defending me with violence against old Cliff the Perpetually Horny Man, who shares your, um, fondness for plastic... BARBIE!!!!!!!!!!
To Margot, for being so damn sexy and seductive, for encouragement in class, and for being the best brain ever, even though scripted.

To Joe, for being my brother, my best friend, and the funniest person in the world. For letting me be one of his hoes, for wearing those taped up pants, for singing wham constantly. For standing by me alone when I was deserted, for being a true friend, for forgiving me when I hurt him and everyone else.
To Joe, my savior and my knight in Shining Armor (not like that, Joe!), who is the best friend anyone could have. Oh, and for taking twenty minutes! JEEZ!
To Sumul, my other brother. For dancing Forver Young with me, for crying with me during it, for standing by me in times of trouble. For being so cool in that suit and formerly having awesome hair (still in the back, right?).
To Amanda, who set me up: it was good while it lasted. For making this and my sperm year so funny. For being so funny and understanding, and for telling me who that certain someone was.

To Sara S., for throwing my ex in a trash can and saying trash gets dumped and so do you.

To Matt, for being himself and letting me beat up his self esteem whenever the occasion arose.
To Jess, for being an awesome lover, friend, and sex symbol. For being strong and one of the "Pittsburgh Fricks" which is obviously good even though I have no idea what that means.
To Meredith, for being Monica, my friend, a lesbian Rosie O'Donnell, and for staying with me during that awful breakfast.
To Jane, for being rude with me during the Talent Show, having a birthday, and shaving with me and Chris RA... oooooh, yes, good times, good times...
To Evelyn, for spinning wiht me and beating up Ben.
To Kevin, for choreographing that Savage Garden song that he mysteriously knew all the words to with me, and for beiing so nice, and well, sick.

To Bronwen, for being my favorite chica, an awesome dresser and swing dancer (of course) and letting me dress up in her Man Pants. For telling me that my ex always went out with girls cooler than him, including me and Jill of the spectacular vocal chords St. Cyr.
To Cliff, for being gross and disgusting and having a penis the size and shape of a guitar case. For being too nice to my legs, and being the perfect Hugh Hefner.
To Tony, who is the best Toe Wrapper ever, for inviting me and Paula out to dinner, and for wanting me to teach him how to swing dance.
To Jerri, who is sooo beautiful in that red dress and any other clothing, having all the guys in the place falling all over her, for swing dancing with me, for confiding in me about Welton, and for being so nice.
To Piper, for being so excitable and living on Park Avenue.
To Little Ben, for having cool hair in those awesome blond spikes, and for being so cool and sexy.
To James, for being a sexual predator and a tangerine meditator, and for letting me beat you up.
For Debra, who is an awesome neighbor although she eats all my Spicy Nachos and for being such an awesome white MC.
For all those people who I love and forgot, I love you still, I just have a bad memory!!! I love you all!!!!!!!! I love CTY, I love townies and HUB workers, I love Carlisle, and most of all I love the Passion Fruit.

Pammy Woodward

To the RAs. You are the symbol of The Man, being dictatorial powers overour lives, yet still manage to be part of Us too. Without you, CTY would not be.
To the TAs. You help our teachers cope with our constant schenanigans.
To the Teachers. You teach us. Duh. But you don't only teach us the class. You teach us how to live life. You shape our minds. You teach us how to be our true selves.
To the Administration. You give us decrees to random, and often quite silly things. Without your stupid and pointless rules, CTY would not be CTY.
To the HUB and all components there within. You keep us alive. Kinda. Never failing to come up with interesting foods for us to eat. And never failing to supply us with unending ammunition to fuel senceless eating contests.
To Dickinson College itself. You house us and keep us safe from being ravaged from the Townies. Although you may, due to the way you were made, isolate Malcomites, that is not your fault and we do not blame you. You are a wonderful place whose invisible borders disconnect from the rest of the world at about the same time every year, freeing all of those who know what it is to be a CTYer from their bonds and letting them truly be CTYers.
To those random background characters whose names I do not know. Without you... well... there wouldn't be any random background characters to occupy the empty space. And what fun would that be?
To Melissa. You helped to ease my uncontrollable paranoia. You also taught me what emotions are. You fended off insanity from taking its claim on me, which, although it ultimately did take me, is appreciated. You have taken a place in my heart and will always dwell within me there. Vilanous Whore.
To Dave. You are a wonderful guy. You made us all whole, just by being there.
To Ed. You need to let loose and dance, my boy (although hopefully by this point, you have.) Your quiet wit and wisdom brought us life. And you are the effeminate one.
To Trevor. You made life interesting. What else can I say?
To Genevieve. You are the hardest person to keep in touch with. Thank Eris for synchronisity, though. You are the CTYer who I have seen most recently. And that is a happy thing. ACtually, you aren't the hardest to keep in touch with. Felix is. But we'll come to that. I'm glad your cough has healed. It was always a pleasure to let you dig your nails into my shoulder as you tried to eject your lungs from your body. Your name come so damn close to beautiful. Only 2 off. Such a shame, because you are. But your name is so great. It has so many 5s.
To Anne. You added an element of chaos to my existance, and there is nothing greater than that. I'm coming through Boston again this year. I must see you again. I will always remember eating random Indian food with you while trying to catch up on the missing year. Thank you for listening to my problems. And I'll always be willing to sit and talk with you for the entirity of the 2nd dance.
To Felix. You are literally impossible to keep in touch with. It has been a year and 8 months since I've talked to you at the time I write this. And that possibly makes me sadder than any other thing. You were my best friend. You could always make me laugh. You could always make me smile. Our odd mix of Canadian and Scottish accents sticks in my mind, although I can't duplicate the exact sound of it. I've tried writing to you when it did turn out that everyone was against me so we could stick it to The Man, as you told me to in my memory book, but you never responded. If you read this, find me. My sister runs this page. She'll know how.
To Drew. My roommate. I will always remember your advise about how to handle Lindsey. You gave me confidence.
To Ian. Social norms are made to be defied. Never stop making people back away from you. Vile Shrew.
To Rebecca Froom. You got me in trouble for passing notes in class, but you also helped to restore my emotions. Thank you. You were good council to me in times at which I needed it most. You will always be dark and scary. Harlot.
To the Impudent Strumpet. You were so impudent it was maddening. Rar.
To Kim. I still salivate when people say Pavlov. Grr. I'm salivating now.
To Teresa. You are a kindred spirit. I look up to you greatly, and I always will.
To the rest of the people from Carlisle Session 1 '98. You all helped to shape the spirit of the Shiny Knave.To Peter. For being oh-so sacrilicious.
To Sidekick. For being yourself, no matter what.
To Ben. For yelling at the pirates after we nearly killed everyone.
To Catherine. For being the Ship's Whore. And for letting us carry you around. And for giving me a dance.
To Pam. For keeping Joe happy. And for keeping Emily happy. And for being such a wonderful person.
To Emily. For loving me. Despite everything scummy that I do. And if I were to actually list all the things I could toast you for, I'd double the length of this toast, so I shan't.
To Pip. For being the first person whom I renamed. And for being the best damned cabin boy around.
To Quee-quay. For being too quiet for your own good. May ye shove many a harpoon in many a whale.
To Gyro. For your constant spinning and your light heartedness.
To Ooven. For being a good friend. For listening to all of our problems. For caring. And for teaching us how to jig.
To Mad Dogg. For your Tower of Terror. For being a constant source of humor. For your brilliant arguments. And for yelling at me when I said that clones should be sent to the moon and harvested for organs.
To Swabby. For being my companion for two years. For your Zen quotes and the way you get exited when you think of an interesting idea.
To Nympho. For having such a nice ass. For lobbing my CD cases at me and breaking them when I was depressed. For calling me an inhuman bag of juice.
To Joe. To the Cap'n. For leading the pirates in our reign of terror. And forthe eating contest.
To the pirates as a whole. For nearly killing everyone. For dancing like we've never danced before. For swabbing the decks afterwards. For all of the good times we had.
To the assassins. For killing the White Ninja 9 times.
To the rest of the people from Carlisle Session 2 '99. For helping to shape the spirit of Shiny the Lustrous.
I love the passionfruit.

David (Shiny the Lustrous)
