Favorites of 2007

Although it's already 2008, I am still compiling my favorites list of 2007, and since I have never done this before, I am allowing myself to be this late on the draw...

As an additional disclaimer, 2007 didn't always have something new for me to experience that hadn't been before, but simply allowed me time to find things, that I hadn't known existed before 2007.
