My friends mean so much to me. I don't have many true friends but I do have a few.

Mindy has been my friend since high school. She is married now and has a baby girl named Karina. I still talk to Mindy online and need to see her soon.

Mike Florian has been my friend now since the summer of '96. I met him when I was picking up guys at Cedar Point. He lives in PA so when I lived there we got to see a lot of each other. He still needs to get off his lazy butt and come visit me here in Cleveland. I love him with all my heart. I mean come on I have known him for 6 years. I love the fact that we can stay in touch online. We used to write letters. I hate writing letters. "they're coming to take me away ha ha......"

At Cedar Point I met this guy name Joey. I was sitting outside the Cedars dorm with my teddy bear back pack. I start talking to this cute guy and next thing I know we are friends. He did rename my back pack..Yankee Doodle Ramen Noodle. He is lucky since that after all these years I remember this. And not too long ago I gave him that teddy bear as a sign of our friendship. Joey is a strange one but hey I gotta love him.

Since moving to Cleveland I have found a great group of friends. My first friend that I love is Doug. I met him at Houlihan's at the Strongsville mall. He messed up my whole order, and yet we are now best friends. He is the one responsible for dying my hair all sorts of colors. He chose blonde and I chose to keep it. Eddie, Tammara and Don I met while working at York Video. We all worked together. We now all go to the bars together too.

Karlton is one of my good friends from Cedar Point too. He was in live entertainment. I loved to watch him sing. I looked forward to every season to see him again. We don't talk much but in the past he has been the greatest.

I met Chris while working at Cedar Point back in '97. We dated and somehow have become friends again. Last New Year's in fact. I haven't spoken to Chris in years. The I send him an instant message wishing him a happy new year. Well, he gave me his number and I called him that nite. Well, while sitting at Denny's in Medina at 9pm, I decided that I wanted to see him. So I drove home packed some clothes and drove to Detroit. I got there about midnight on New Year's Day. I spent a week with him catching up on old times and having fun. He came to visit me back in April. We went to my bar for karaoke and hung out.

Another person that I met and then came back into my life was Mike. Mike and I met online in a chat room back in "98. He worked at Geauga Lake, which is now Six Flags. I had just had my hand surgery on my right hand. The day after surgery I was going to Sea World since I had a free ticket. I met up with him and spent the whole day with him. After that day we never spoke. I always remembered him because he took a picture of me petting the dolphin. Ok I did forget his name, but not him. Well, back in Feb of '02 I was in a chat room again and starting talking to this guy. Well, we talked on the phone and then I realized that it was the same guy from Sea World!! What a small world. So him and I are very close now and hang out and talk all the time. Yeah I do hate him sometimes but I love him with all my heart.

Now for my online friends. I met Andy when I first moved to Cleveland. We responded to a personal ad. We met for the first time at Friday's for drinks. He is one of my friends that I don't see as much as I would like to. We both live such busy lives. I did get him out a few other times. He was nice and came to my birthday party and gave me a dancing hamster.

My favorite online friend (I hope I don't offend my other's) is John. John is the one that put together this whole web site. He did all of the graphics and everything. I will meet John sometime in the future. I have to save the money to go to London. I have enjoyed the phone calls and long chats online. John, I love you and thank you so much for everything you have done.

I had to put a picture of Dr. Skie on here because he is the nicest doctor I have ever met. He has done 4 hand surgeries on me and he has become a good friend.
