*If I've deleted you off the list then I'm sorry! I don't mean to exclude anyone close to me. If you have a problem with your absence, do not hesitate to email or IM me and you'll be up here ASAP! To all my friends, I would like to say that you guys are the greatest and I can't imagine life without you! You've given me some great material for that secret million dollar movie script I'm working on (you think I'm kidding...I'm not!)
Angel Avery
I've known Angel since fifth grade (can you imagine?) We haven't gotten sick of each other yet! HA HA, Angel is a talented singer and a hard worker. My fondest memories of her are World History freshman year of high school, Homecoming '97, being my roommate second semester of freshman year college (before she transfered), and spending the night at her house with Stephanie. She got married in February 2008, lives in Virginia and has a baby named Riley.
She graduated from: The College of William and Mary
We met in fifth grade also. At first I didn't think she liked me much but we've grown closer ever since. I'll never forget the trips to Kings Dominion and our Monday night conversations.
School she attends: Christopher Newport University
becca*lynn BMW
We've known each other since I was thirteen months and she was eight months old. Even though we've both moved a few times here and there we've managed to remain friends. We're not as close as when we were ten of course, but I know I'll always be able to rely on her. I'll never forget the times we put on plays with our Barbies for the kids in her neighborhood. She had her first baby, a boy, in 2004, her second baby, a girl, in 2005 and is now divorced.
She graduated from: Marshall University
I met BMW freshman year of college, we had two classes together I think. Anyhow, we became friends mainly because I thought he was cute. Since then I've learned better! He's funny though and there when you need him. We were working together, but not anymore. He got a job at the Pentagon.
He graduated from: James Madison University
Carina Casper
I met Carina in 7th grade. We had a class together and soon found out that we have the same sick sense of humor. She's a silly yet caring person. I don't get to talk to her as much as I would like, but it's one of those friendships where we could go without speaking to each other for like five years and then one day talk like we've spoken yesterday. Hanging out at her house was always a blast and talking in between classes freshman year of high school was great. She's engaged and in grad school!
School she attends: Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (aka VA Tech)
I'm not sure when exactly Casper and I met, but I think I was eight and she was seven. We're the best of friends and have seen each other through heartaches, troubled times, and lots of fun! The great thing about her is that she's willing to try anything just like me. The VA Duals of '98 were fun! *lol* I can't drive past that hotel without thinking of how we almost got arrested. The sleepovers were a blast too. She is retired Air Force and currently going back to school. She has a four year-old daughter and three year-old son from her ex-husband.
Daliborka Dan Dulranza
I met him when I was a freshman in high school. At first I thought he was a huge nerd and then I discovered that he was (j/k...luv ya babes!) Our passion for 80s nostalgia and other cheesy stuff has kept us friends.
I met Dan on a trip to Texas. Dan is really funny and amusing. Our conversation about Trading Spaces during Joe Millionaire was hilarious! The petting zoo was fun too. He moved to Kentucky and had his first child in March 2007!
We went to the York County School of the Arts together and she was like the first new friend I made there. She's really smart and a loyal friend. We shared snacks, hung out at her house for movie days, and hung around Colonial Williamsburg with the crew. Our proudest accomplishment together was the play we wrote with Isabel junior year of high school (remember the cheesy intro we had to say?!) I know we'll always be friends. She's in grad school but works in Colonial Williamsburg during the summer.
She graduated from: The College of William and Mary
Erin
I got to know Erin sophomore year of college, she lived on my floor. Erin has a great sense of humor and is a hard worker. The time we went to Hardee's was a laugh and a half (those cookies and creme shakes are good!) I liked hanging out in her room and talking or watching movies. Erin is also very caring, I know she'll go far in life. Especially with her pajama idea! She's in the Air Force now and living in North Carolina.
She graduated from: University of New Mexico
Goldenose
Yeah, she's the founder of the Tycho Brahe Club. She's also a pretty cool person. We had a class together sophomore year which was great. We were in the same fraternity. We talk a lot and she's so much fun at parties!
Isabel
I also met Isabel at School of the Arts. She's a crazy gal but lots of fun to be with! She has awesome parties and we've spent endless hours together in CW. She was the one who told me I would like JMU. She's also one of the best dressed people I've ever met. She's currently in grad school in NOVA.
She graduated from: The College of William and Mary
Jamee Jinan Juli Justin
Jamee has been my bud since 7th grade. We both have quirky outlooks on life and a deep love for "The X-Files." She was my roommate first semester of college. We also both love movies and finding interesting things to do. I know we'll be friends no matter what. She married Mike in January 2002 and they live in Maryland with their 2 year old girl!
Janey
Janey and I met freshmen year of college. We've grown into really good friends. We both like to dance and have a good time but we're also hard workers when we need to be. We saw each other a lot because she was one of my apartment-mates! The dinners off campus have been a blast! She had a job at a lab making gummy bears for a while!
She graduated from: James Madison University
Jinan is my Siamese twin from a past life. Not only do we own the same kind of clothes, but we have the same twisted humor and we're into the same kind of TV shows and movies. We use to hang out all the time. She transferred to a school in Tennessee but I don't know which one.
Joe
Joe is one of the exes that I keep track of regularly. We had mutual friends in 7th grade but we didn't become close until 8th grade (we had English class together). He's a great guy who loves music and movies. He's really smart, although when you first meet him you swear he's a slacker. It took me a while to get over him, but I learned from it and have moved on. He's another one of those people where we can go without talking for a while but then get together like we've seen each other yesterday. He became a dad April 25, 2002; married on March 15, 2003 and had his second child summer 2005.
School he graduated from: Christopher Newport University
Juli is my bud! We seem like two girls who aren't likely to be friends but in other ways we seem like we would be close. We've had a blast together over the years. I'll never forget the time we went to the circus or the Kings Dominion trip where I snagged that employee's number for her (against the rules I know). Juli and I will always be friends and I plan to see her in NOVA soon because she's expecting her first child.
School she attends: Virginia Commonwealth University
Justin was my mom's student in 8th grade. We became friends after a NC trip with Isabel and others. Justin has a great sense of humor and he's willing to try almost anything in the name of fun. Hey Justin, will you parallel park my car? *lol* I miss hanging out with him in CW and Isabel's house. By the way, girls fall for him but I personally don't see it. He's such a geek! j/k Justin is a good guy, I just don't get it.
He graduated from: Virginia Commonwealth University
Ker Kotakis
Ker is my little in PCT. Ker is a Jersey girl all the way! She's super friendly and funny. She loves horses and going to parties. She's also very loyal to her friends and would never disappoint anyone. Brother party was so much fun!
She graduated from: James Madison University
I met Kotakis the second day of high school and we just clicked. He's a big flirt except for when he's in a serious relationship. We've had a blast together and he's made me laugh on several occasions. I loved the time when he was shooting cars with his tennis racket! He's a married man now with a daughter.
School he attends: as far as I know, he's still at Christopher Newport
Matt R. Mazkour Melinda
I met Matt last year, and we've grown into friends mainly through email. What can I say? Matt has a great sense of humor and he listens to good music. I don't know why we get along so well, but I'm glad we do. I hope he finds that special someone some day! He lives in Maryland and works with computers when he's not gigging on the side.
I met Mazkour around the same time that I met Juli. In most ways we're complete opposites but she's always been there for me as I have for her. Wasn't KD fun?! I should drop by more often. She's excellent with hair and make up tips and is usually in a good mood. She also works for Givenchy.
School she attends: Christopher Newport University
I also met Melinda sophomore year (she was Erin's roommate). Melinda and I talk a lot and we both like "The Simpsons" as well as "Felicity." I admire Melinda because she studies hard but also likes to hang out and goof off. Her anatomy book was pretty funny *lol* We've also bonded over our love of NSYNC and Linkin Park. Along with Tonya, we have managed to get lost in who knows how many places! Right now, she lives in Delaware with her husband Rob. Oh yeah, and don't look at the pictures in her human sexuality book, some of them are really gross.
She graduated from: James Madison University
Naked Eye
She was Angel's roommate first semester. We also had a class together so we got to be friends. We have the same tastes in music and we can confide into each other. I like her kitties-Tycho and Oscar! I heard that I'm better at beer pong than she is ;-) Later, we bonded over boyfriend issues and drinking. She now works in central Virginia.
She graduated from: James Madison University
Phlips
Phlips is the man! He's not only cute but he's willing to have me as a friend *lol* Seriously, I met him in Italy and we would stay up late talking. For now we rely on email and IMs to keep us together. He moved to El Paso in September 2007. Cheer up...I'll see you soon! You still owe me a hockey game!
He graduated from: Michigan State University
Priscilla
Priscilla and I met in 7th grade Gym but didn't grow close until 8th grade (remember how we use to pass notes all the time! *lol*) Homecoming '95 and '97 were so much fun! Prom was great too. I'm glad we attended the same college. She'll always remain a close friend of mine.
She graduated from: James Madison University
Ray Richard Russoir Russwar
Ray and I met about seven years ago when I was pledging and have grown into better friends ever since! I enjoy movie nights with him and Naked Eye. He's my bud through thick and thin. We're brought together through our love of having a good time and beer drinking during the week. Sorry I missed your 21st! Ray, someday I will hook you up with Chelsea Clinton *lol*
School he graduated from: James Madison University
Richard was my boyfriend. We've had some great adventures together. He taught me that I'm bad at mini-golfing. He has a great sense of humor. I love him to death even though we split romantically. I'll never forget that kiss by the lake :) He now lives in California. He's very caring and respectful. He got married and has a baby girl.
We met in 8th grade but we didn't become friends until 9th grade. He's another School of the Arts clone j/k Russoir knows everything there is to know about comics and has turned me on to several really good ones. He also has a good sense of humor and he's a great friend. I miss hanging out with him sometimes.
He still attends (8 years?!): Virginia Commonwealth University
He's one of my best buds online. I IMed him one day thinking I was IMing someone else, but we got the talking and we've kept in contact since! He has a cool sense of humor but we've also been known to poor out our problems to each other. He's a musician as well as in the Army. We are now married.
Scott
We both like weird artwork and are hard workers. He always looks out for me and I offer him advice. We dated for about fourteen months and then split. The night he did magic tricks on his webcam was really really funny! Our trip to Vegas in August 2002 was great despite the heat and endless walking.
He graduated from: James Madison University
Tonya
Tonya lived on the floor below me and we had four classes together! We were both English majors. She's great to hang out with. When I first met her I thought she was a huge party animal but then it turned out she just likes to chill and joke around like me. She was another one of my apartment-mates. We've had some wonderful times talking and helping each other out. She works as a business manager now, has a girl (born December 2004), and is married!
She graduated from: James Madison University
Yuni
I met Yuni freshman year through Janey. She's a cool cat. I don't get to see her that often, but I enjoy it when we do get to talk. When are we going to a party! Oh yeah, and she's my big brother in PCT.
She graduated from: James Madison University
