THE TEN MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE OF MY LIFE, 2004

2004-12-09

I said I wasn't going to do it, but if I were an emotional cocktail, I'd be one part nostalgia and one part impulsiveness. Incidentally, neither of these ingredients mix well with gin.

So for the third year in a row, now with new easy-to-read haiku thesis support:

THE TEN MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN MY LIFE, 2004

10. AMBER LOFINK

Around Christmastime
Is when I miss you the most,
And I have no right.

CORRESPONDING SONG: "Comfortable," John Mayer

9. CHAR SUCIK

Low on the list 'cause
She's so consistently cool
That it’s just the norm.

CORRESPONDING SONG: "I Believe In A Thing Called Love," The Darkness

8. JOE PARMELEE

Cousin, you're patient
And always made me welcome in
Work and in family.

CORRESPONDING SONG: Anything on the planet by Django Reinhardt

7. KEVIN AND JAN O’LEARY

Thursday nights are when
You treat me like a rock star
And fill me with love.

CORRESPONDING SONG: "I Got You Babe," Sonny and Cher

6. MYSTERY GIRL FROM THE LONELY MONTH OF JULY

Thanks for a morning
When I gave up on the sun.
You make me explode.

CORRESPONDING SONG: "The Last Time I Saw You," Dark & Lovely

5. LAURA MATHIS AND STEVE LEE

The dedicated
Duo, a reminder of
The way that things were.

CORRESPONDING SONG: "Toxic," Britney Spears

4. KELLY JUNE

After five-years’ wait
You’re just like opening up
A finely-aged wine.

CORRESPONDING SONG: "Sunrise," Norah Jones

3. CAROLYN EWALD

Reunited and
My fire is finally out, so
Let's not talk falsely.

CORRESPONDING SONG: "The Fire Thief," Hem

2. SCOTT AND GINA JENSEN

You're the architects
Of my voice, my mind, and
Who I am today.

CORRESPONDING SONG: "Seasons of Love," Rent

I would not be here
Without our film this summer,
And four brilliant years.
