DSED #4: 5 Things from 2004

Today's assignment was another one stolen from Learning to Love You More. The original task was to list 5 events in your 1984, but I wasn't alive yet, so I changed it to 2004.

The scary thing is that I can hardly find anything from 2004. I have piles and piles of journal entries, poems, stories, and pictures from 2005, 2006, and 2007. I even have a nice little handful of pictures from 2002 and 2003. But 2004 seems to have been a pretty empty year for me. I was 13 years old and for once, life seemed to be pretty balanced. I had two best friends and had just discovered anime. Apparently I was content to not record anything to be remembered by (unusual for me). So without further ado, I present to you the very few things I've found from 2004:

1. I attended my nephew's birthday party at a bowling alley.
2. There was a mock presidential debate at my school.
3. I met Aliyah.
4. I read my first fanfic.
5. I went into a chatroom for the first time.
