Friends

Mes ami(e)s, my best buds.....
and everyone else I know that so much as has a web page. :)

From quiet homes and first beginning,
Out to the undiscovered ends,
There's nothing worth the wear of winning,
But laughter and the love of friends.
-Hilaire Belloc

To the query, "What is a friend?" his reply was "A single soul dwelling in two bodies."
-Aristotle

These are my two bestest, bestest friends, Sarah (left) and Betsy (right) and I before Prom.
It was kind of a joke of a prom, but it was better than the year before when some
genius came up with the idea of doing Titanic as a prom theme.
The dance lived up to as many expectations as the unsinkable boat did.

Betsy Dunn	Sarah Peterson
Betsy and I have been best friends since...um...forever, I think. We met in 2nd grade at the After School Activities Program. She moved to my elementary school the next year and we've been best friends ever since. She is currently studying Elementary Education at Anderson University in Anderson, Indiana	Sarah and I met on the 7th grade band trip to Cedar Point. The next year we started hanging out together at the "cool" lunch table with Betsy. We've been Band Geeks and Guard Geeks together ever since. She is now studying Business (and drunken college males) at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

These are some of my friends from college that have wandered in front of my camera

This is Shandy Asturias, my suite mate next door, and Mike Aherne.
Shandy is the one covered in her birthday cake. :)

Shansy Asturias	Michael Aherne
Shandy Lived next door to me in Doolittle Hall. Poor Shandy always seemed to be everyone's favorite target for harassment. Every couple hours, we could hear Shandy shrieking as yet another guy on the hall decided to drench her, hit her, or cover her in cake frosting. She took it in stride, though, and miraculously survived the year none the worse for wear. :)	Mike lived on the floor above me. Mike is a very cool guy, and always seemed to be able to make anyone laugh. I think he can describe himself better than I can, so check out his own web page: http://www.miketwo.web.com He does seem to have a talent for attracting hurricanes, though; when Floyd hit the east coast, Mike ran home to NYC, where the hurricane followed him and wreaked havoc.

This is Mary-Kate with one of her veritable
harem of older guys. :) Mary is from the foot hills
of 'Bama (that's Alabama, for those of you who
speak proper English). She is an experience soccer
player, as well as a feminist. (Right on!) :)
