What can I say about my friend Shannon? Well, I've known her since time began. She's a wonderful artist, poet, writer, and she's a wonderful friend on top of that.

I can't recall seeing Shannon ever wearing make-up. Then she had to go and fool everyone by looking so damn angelic in her senior picture. I promise you, she's not!! Hehehe.

And here she is these many years later... all grown up. Sniffle, sniffle. And you know what folks?? She's got a gun and is defending our country!! Scary thought huh?

P.S. I'm just joking Shannon. Please don't kill me during one of those psychotic episodes you have when you forget to take your medication.
