While I am not the creator of "Apprecation Weeks" and I have no authority to overthrow Ronnie as the chairman, I am going to do it anyway because I feel like our dearly departed friend Gabe deserves an appreciation week. We all know that Gabe has left us to pursue a career in far off New York City and while we are definitely proud him, he will surely be missed. So I propose that everyone in blog-land throw out their appreciations for him as he settles into his new life.
Here are my personal top ten reasons why Gabe rocks:
10) Gabe is a slurpee eating machine. He can always be relied upon when a slurpee run is needed.
9) Gabe doesn't care when I sit on his chairs on the GK and act like they are mine.
8) Gabe is always down for a good game of hearts. Even though I shoot the moon more than he does, he is still a champ.
7) Gabe fixes my computer every time it is messed up (which is often) without ever complaining. *who is going to do that now??? volunteers would be appreciated*
6) Gabe shares his Italian Ices.
5) Who can forget Gabe's incredible piano playing skills in Atlanta? Never have I been more shocked at his hidden talents.
4) Gabe offered to let me ride on his scooter (and even drive it).
3) Gabe is always up for an adventure and is always in the middle of the greatest parties.
2) Gabe looks like "Where's Waldo" and sometimes even acts like him.
1) Gabe is a reliable, loyal friend who can always be counted on. I'm going to miss you Gabe!

Gabe and I once had a ridiculously serious literary discussion that no joke involved references to the sweet valley twins series. For that, Gabe is my idol for life.
Also, he made our super sweet illegal music-sharing party possible.
Cheers to you, Gabe!
Gabe rocks because he taught me how to get more money from my boss, even though I haven't followed through with it just yet.
Gabe is the smartest person in the world. He is the authority on everything, and everyone knows that he's right.
Also, if you're ever in the mood to talk about any random thing under the sun, Gabe is your man. It's amazing how he can make any conversation interesting.
Finally, I've never seen him be disloyal. He's simply made out of the highest-quality friend material possible. And I'm going to miss him like the dickens. (Even though I don't know what the dickens are, I know I'm going to miss him a lot.)
A part of me died when I found out Gabe was leaving town before I come back. I cried a thousand tears and then died a thousand deaths. Please don't bury us, Gabe!
I wasn't there, but once Gabe caught on fire from a flaming gas can.
