* <3 2 My Friends <3 *
This page is for the people who have had a positive effect on my life somehow who are not related to me --- aka friends --- that does not mean if you're not on here that I don't love you, just that I haven't gotten around to scanning or typing yet! Remind me to add you! *MUAH* In no particular order . . .
--------------------------- Nevada ---------------------------
Dan
Dan, you quickly became one of the best friends I've had. From notes to our pool games to the elephant dance, we always had a lot of fun together and we have shared a lot of great memories. We shared a lot of other stuff too! I'm so glad you invited me to your party and we really started talking after that -- too bad we didn't talk or hang out much first semester! Your friendship has changed me in countless ways, thank you for that. You're an amazing man! You better keep in touch after you leave!
Erik
Oh gosh, Erik, where do I even begin Demon boy??? I have got to say, it's been real! I'm so glad us computer dorks met in Journalism and had not only a mutual love of computers and all things broadband, but a hatred for our favorite alkie/bitch. Let's see . . . I never ran you into the dirt, Tony is the demon one, not me, disc 1 is better than disc 2, jeep path, thanks for the ethernet, she's DRUNK/bitch, three trips to Target is too much for one day, speakable items, loser table, etc. I'm handing my mouse over to you in J, beat the Macs well with it! You'll always be my favorite Freshman and like another younger *yet, taller* brother *which may or may not be good! =�*
Jeanna
Hey girlie -- we had a ton of great times in the Company first semester. I'm SO very glad you were in there to be my favorite girlie with all of the guys in there we talked to. You're so much fun to be around. Memories . . . let's see . . . well the one that obviously comes to mind is reorienting the Weiner, there was our Christmas shopping trip, prom *you neglected to tell me you were married! hehe*, stealing the cookies and punch the night we stayed late, BASKETBALL ADS, talking about guys, teasing Chris about the Freshman boys, etc. We've got to hang out and do some more shopping!
Jeana
Jeana, Jeana, Jeana. What will I do with you? You have had your fair share of ups and downs this year, but I hope the ups outweigh the downs. You know I'll always be around to listen if you need an ear, which with the way you talk, you usually do! Just kidding, you know I love (to steal) your energy! Our talks as we walked around the mountain were sometimes funny, sometimes serious, sometimes deep and always interesting -- I loved them all. If you and Jen had not joined PE, I prolly would have cried. Great luck in the army, I know you will do wonderfully! Keep your chin up and never lose your energy or happiness!
Casey
Casey, you were a ton of fun to have in the Company second semester. You're a really fun person to be around and I really enjoyed sitting next to you once our companies were done "battling". You know Bite Me! was SOOO much better than Phat Tony's. Give up the "we were better" act, hehe, you know the truth! Thanks again for putting up with Pepper at the vet, I promise she's really a perfect angel! 0=) *just like me, right?* We should get together this summer too!
Amanda
You were one of my favorite Seniors in Journalism because you were always real and a ton of fun to be around, plus, who else would make fun of me as much as you and take it as well. I know how much you hate the cheerleaders (like the rest of the J-class). =) It was a lot of fun walking in with you at Grad, too bad Justin and the other guy had to trip! I'll miss you and your cheerful personality in Journ but hopefully not for long, as we will see each other at UNR I'm sure.
Jarre
Jarre, you were one of the very first people to be my friend at Reed and for that I'm forever greatful. You're such an intelligent person, but your most admirable trait is your kindness to others and willingness to go above and beyond to help fellow classmates. You hve the people skills and wisdom to go very far in whatever you chose to do, I know you will accomplish amazing things in your life. Our conversations in AP English about the subject matter always gave me valuable insight and those about other topics always brightened my day. We're the Backgammon champions in Calc!
Irene
Bowling class was made really fun because you were in it. Even though we never did so well (What were we, about 12th?), we always had a lot of laughs together and bonded over our AP English horror stories (especially the test, hehe) and just life in general. One day, the machine WILL give you the purple Skittles, or I will have to. Gotta love the magic ball that always turned into the middle. I'm glad you and yearbook did not have to move to foreign countries! Thanks for listening to my rants and my hyper talk every Monday and Wednesday, You're such a sweetie!
Sara
Sara, you and I bonded in AP Physics, well, because the class would have been painful without someone to "countdown" with every day and talk to almost the entire class. Gosh knows we weren't listening to the Physics. It was great to have a Junior to bond with this year, especaially one with so much on the ball as yourself. You're a great girl and I know you'll go places (with or without knowing the velocity of a pendulum, the height of a rocket, the amps in a circuit or how to build an egg-container (how many eggs *did* we break that day by the way???) Have fun senior year!
Tamara
Tamara, you and I are a lot alike and that made us very quick friends in AP English. I'm so glad that you were always there to be in my group, because you, too, always helped me understand the material in a different way. It was always so fun to talk to you before class (and during as well) and sit by you. We'll have to picture-trade soon! Didn't we have fun at S&S Grad Night??? How many times did we go down the slide? I'm so glad we became friends, you're a fun person to be around and you love to take pictures like me!------------------------- Europe Trip -------------------------
Kevin
It's still amazing to me how close we were able to get in less than two weeks together. I don't know how we did it, but we did, and I cherish every minute we spent together *which was most of the two weeks* and hope that we can hook up again soon. I know the trip would have been once in a lifetime without you, with everything we got to see and do, but having you on it made it even that much more special. You're one of the most incredible people I've ever met and I feel so lucky that I did. You better come out to Reno, are you sure you want to stay in Fresno? ;)
Lauren
Lauren, it was really great to have you as the only other younger girl on the trip with me! You and I and 4 guys, we had it made, hehe. I'll never forget some of the funny things we did together like singing in the rain in Lucerne and then talking to those guys through the window while we were soaking wet, all of our endless drinking *spiral staircases*, I WANT ICE CREAM!!!, and just general hanging out and talking about whatever! I hope we can keep in touch! I'm sure you'll have a great senior year, so enjoy it!--------------------------- Florida ---------------------------
Sarah
Princess Tharah (or just PT for short), you and I were inseparable Junior year and I'm so glad I am best friends with someone as *unconventional* and, well, insane, as you. Not that either are bad things, quite the opposite, normal is boring! We had some incredibly funny times, of which I can't even begin to type out on this website. From Espanol (No comprendoooo, el boosh, etc.) to Computer Science (flushing the empty toilet, weirdest piece of shit, etc.) to every other class we ever took together, no day was quite the same without you there, and I still miss you every day here. Have a ton of fun at Tulane! I know I will one day run a program (eloquently written, mind you) that will change computers as we know them, or read a book that is nuts, or, god forbid, be under your knife in surgery -- or whatever you chose to do with your time. Your free spirit and love of learning and doing new things will allow you to be wonderful at everything you do (and I'm sure you'll have like 10 different jobs at once just to keep you out of trouble!). Pincess power! You can catch a rainbow and tell the earthquake to stop too!
Crystal
Crystal, it was just a ton of fun being best buds with you Junior year -- Triple Entente rocked! We had just a ton of fun times together over the years in IB, and even though it was hard, we managed to laugh our way through most of the days together. Just thinking about all of the fun times makes me laugh! Remember our gum wrapper foil thing we worked on for days and when the VP came in and just watched us work on it and walked away? The day we ripped "el boosh" out of the ground, sitting and talking in George's during lunch, talking through most of Spanish, History, English, Math, Biology . . . miss you lots! You too have a bright future ahead of you. I'm sure one day we'll have Crystal rockets or fireworks or something like that, if that's what you chose to do -- or you'll master whatever you do decide to do! In any case, you'll do wonderfully with your sunny and friendly attitude and natural intelligence!
Heather
Heather, my favorite "boosher" and artist and athlete at South Fork. I'm so glad we started talking more at the end of Junior year and you got into our group in Spanish and we became friends. I admire all of your talents a lot, like I said before, you're a wonderful artist and athelete -- two things I could never do. Plus, you're really fun to be around. I will never ever forget the day we uprooted el boosh! I hope you have a lot of fun in whatever you do because you will be really successful in everything that you try your hand at and I'm sure you'll make it fun as well!
Erica
Whyever was I friends with Petten . . . hmm . . . let's see . . . it all started when you asked me, "Hey, weren't you in Drama" and we've never shut up or stopped laughing at each other since. From the dot game to making up nicknames for each other, to online sleepovers *whack*, to fixing my clips, to stealing my posters, to all of the other funny and stupid things we've ever done, I'm so glad I met someone as fun loving, crazy, hysterical, and sweet as you! Even though you were one year ahead of me, we left Pitch Fork at the same time for other things, and I'm glad we still keep in touch! Enjoy college and never stop having fun!
Dana
Dana, oh golly, what did we not do in our 4 years of knowing each other? We were the best of friends freshmen year and then we faught and weren't friends for a while but the most important thing is that we always both got over it and changed and are still friends today. I love that we still talk online from time to time, I hope that doesn't change. It's great to get updated from Florida on all of the crazyness that goes on down there and hear about what is going on with you! Best of luck in college, I know you'll do wonderfully, and will succeed in the future! Keep in touch!
Brian
As the official court jester *or was it paramecium?* of our CS royal family, you always brought a lot of happiness to the class and were always the first one to help Wells and Ed and Sarah dissect my programs and make fun of me for my stupid mistakes; which always made me a better programmer. You're a great friend and I totally enjoyed all of the time we spent together in Computer Science, thanks for all the help and the laughs!
Stephanie
Stephy-knee, hey! CIRCUS! I still have your monkey in my room and I always think of you and our days in the circus together! I don't remember why we had a cicus except that you're really tall and I'm really short, but I remember we had big plans for the big top, hehe. I know you'll do very well in Nebraska and where ever life takes you after that, so enjoy "band-ing" and everything else you do! And, would you please work on getting just a little shorter somehow, hehe! Or else I'll have to cut you off at the knees, hehe
Tonya
Heya CUZ! I still think it's so weird that we knew each other for so long in Florida - 7th or 8th grade through Junior year and we never knew we were related and it took a trip to NY to uncover our familial connection! Never forget the bread aisle and the "bomb's in the mail" -- those were the days back then!!! I love our emails back and forth and I hope one day we can hang out at some sort of family reunion! That would be so cool! Take care! Luv ya Cuz!--------------------------- Online ---------------------------
Cindy
CinCinCin - you know I love you like a sister and you're probably the closest thing I've ever had to one! You and I are so much alike, it's freaky. I mean, you just get me in ways nobody else has ever been able to. You understand what's going through my head and most of the time can verbalize it even before I can! I love our long talks, especially the one we had the night you came back when I kept you up 'til like 5 am! It just proves that our connection is unbreakable and no matter how much time passes, we'll always be BFF and there's no break in trust! The day I met you was one of the most fun days of my life and I'll never forget the wax museum and hanging out in NYC! I'm so glad you're back and you can never ever leave me again, nope, nope! :) You and me, we're never over, we're friends forever, THIMBA!
Matt
And then there was Matthew . . . what in the world nice things could I possibly have to say about you??? Let's see . . . hmmmm . . . first off, you're honest, and I love that about you. If I ever need a real opinion on something from a guy's point of view, you're there, and I know I can count on you to give it to me straight, weather I want to hear it that way or not. Second of all, you're just really nice, and even though you don't think so, I know you are. You may yell at me for being stupid and make fun of me, but you're still a great guy, like the best big brother a girl could ask for! Thanks for everything!
Leslie
Specialist *how did we come up with that anyway?*, you were gone from the SJC for a long time but you've been back now for a while and I'm SO glad. I love talking to you and I know I can tell you anything, and I have lately. I hope you know you can do the exact same thing with me, I think you do. Because you're a few years older than me, you can always give me intelligent opinions on everything that people of the same age can't always give and you always have very valuable things to say when I need advice. Thanks for all the help!
Cira
Cira, you're a constant source of comic relief to the SJC and the mail we send and for that, I luv ya! You're one of the very best mail senders we have and you always manage to get to the point of a conversation (especially a problem or question) with whatever silly, sarcastic, or honest comment you chose to make. I know when I open an email from Kinkyfreek that it will usually make me smile or laugh out loud and you've been known to brighten my afternoon with just one comment. Keep the mail coming and stay blonde and demanding!
Shanno
Shanno is my very favorite youngest member of the SJC (even if it is only by one year!). You always have a lot of energy and do so many activities, sports, etc. and you always come back online to talk to us too! I always love to read your comments in the emails too because you're always so funny and pointed as well. I know you will have a great senior year because you will make it that way by just being the same funny, sweet and busy Shanno we all know and love!
Jess 2
Jess2, I always love talking to you in IMs because you always have something interesting to talk about, something going on in your life that keeps my mind occupied while I talk to you. You're also a really sweet person and are great to tell things to because you seem to genuinely care about people and our lives and such. I'm really glad you're in the SJC and we talk!
Jess
Jess, as one of the longer members to be in the SJC, it seems like we've known each other for a really long time, it's been a few years atleast. I love reading your mail because it's always so cut and dry and to the point and true. You never bologne around or sugarcoat anything. Plus, you still watch GH as well, so that gives you points in my book too. I love getting mail from you and I'm glad you're in the SJC!
Ami
Ami, Amy, Amy2, whatever your name is, hehe, I love to talk to you. I know we haven't talked a lot lately but I think we both know that we could talk to each other about anything if we needed to and in the past we really have. You're one of my musketeers! We gotta stick together! I wish we got to talk more, we will have to work on that! =)
Clo
Clo, from our days with Chelle (I know, a swear word, but it's our history none the less) as triplets, we've seen a lot of people come and go out of the SJC and are the only two, I believe, who have been there the entire time. If you would come on and un-ghost from us all once in a while, maybe we could talk to you more, silly! I always love to get mail from you, well, because it's a rarity, but also because you're so nice and just a great person to be around online.
Jenna
Jenna, thanks for all of your amazingly hard work on the TGHC as our resident picture/comment girl, fashion colomnist, and Jason fan with me! Even if you don't like Jax *ahem, I think he's growing on you, hehe*, you're still a really cool girl and an incredibly hard worker! I love talking to you and hearing all of your comments on GH because we tend to agree about half of the time and disagree the other half, so it makes it interesting! =)
