Year in review 2004

livI'm not keen on the standard end of year meme that's doing the rounds. I think my answers would be boring, or inappropriate, or predictable. So I'm making my own variation.
Books
Music
LJ posts
My posts
Stories
Most prolific commenters in ascending order (These are the people who had commented the most by the end of 2004, not strictly the people who commented the most during 2004, cos the LJ interface makes it hard to collect data over a specified period rather than the whole history of your journal.)
People I'm really glad I got to know better (Yes, I know that's six, not five. Deal.)
People I already loved who continued to be wonderful (My immediate family is another six people, and they were just as much my wonderful family in 2004 as in all the years before that.)
