This is a tribute to some of my friends on and off the 'net. I don't know what I'd do without them! I apologize if I have missed anyone who thinks they should appear on here. It's hard to get everybody on. Also, these aren't in any particular order-
~*Steph-o-knee*~
~*Suzanne*~
£**~~Tom & Jane**~~£
Sven is from Scotland and is one of the nicest guys I know. He and my sister started sending e-mail in 1997 and we've known him ever since. He came to visit in us September, 1999 and I got to see his side in June, 2000 and had tons of fun! He has limited internet time *gasp* but when he does get on it's a lot of fun. (although it's hard for him to get a word in edgewise with all the commotion in our household!) He has done us many favoUrs, including getting me a UK exclusive CD for me and tossing in some very delicious shortbread with it! Thanks Sven! *grin* He is getting married in July 2002 to his fiancee, Jan and I wish them all the best. Even though I won't make it to their wedding, I hope it's a blast and I expect to see pictures when I return there! Go Claymores and long-live Mountain Dew!
~*Jennifer*~
Jennifer and I have been through a lot. She lives right down the street from me. We love to blast music and are both into drama and did flower girl together. At the end of Sophomore year she became my temorary taxi so we didn't have to rely on parents for transportation. Thanks for all the rides Jen! We also had fun at a few dances in high school. Loveshack, baby! We can rely on each other for a good chat and meet up for milkshakes every once in a while. She is a good dependable friend. Oh, and every time I hear Republica or Bohemian Rhapsody, I'll think of you! :)
*Scott*
Well, Scott is...hmm...how can I describe Scott? Scott is the only other one who "knows where the pants are!" He thinks he's the king of everything but he needs me to tell him otherwise. I guess I have been lef the title, "Queen of Everything Else." I met him when we acted together in the Matchmaker and during one of the rehearsals, he hid THE CROWN up in the costume loft and sadly, finding it was a mission I never accomplished. He can also brilliantly put together a script overnight. Scott has the most regal walk of anyone I know though, I must admit! He directed the One-Act Plays in January 2000 and was a great director. We also went to our senior prom together and it was a really fun night! Now that he's "off" to college in Stanislaus, we make a point to get together to watch Iron Chef and make crazy videos whenever we can. He's the only one I can be truly silly with and be understood. Together we are educated in the realm of pants and will hopefully create our site: The Wonderful World of Pants and Socks. Coming soon!
**Yusuke**
Ok Yusuke, you've made it to my page! :) I've known him since Freshman
year. He's cool to hang out with. I had so much fun tormenting him when
he worked at Chubby's. I just couldn't help myself! Too bad they had to
close. Thank you so much for the discount! He's also helping me explore
the world of mp3's. Without him, I would never know the possible shortcuts
though town. Oh, and Yusuke, don't write any opinions on napkins for a
while eh? ;) Best of luck at UC San Diego.
Loopie (Dr. Loo, Loo-loo, or even Loo Ann!) is a friend I know through the 'net. We met in the classic Swim Chat and we're always having fun while chatting. It's so great because we always want to par-tay and scold each other for not e-mailing or writing! *Tapping foot* :) Another great thing is that we have a lot in common and can discuss our deepest subjects and usually give advice to each other. There's no one I'd prefer to go to for that! Where have you been Loo? I hope to hear from you again soon!
*~Lindsey, aka Smerf~*
Lindsey is someone I can really talk to. The few times we've talked on the phone it is really like I'm talking to a friend from across town. The hours can fly by and that is dangerous when calling long distance! We originally met in Swimchat back in oooh, I'd say 1997. She was always the "popular" one! We do have a lot in common and one day I'd like to meet her. In the meantime, we can enjoy occasional chats at night since my cell phone is free after 7pm! Above is a pic of her w/ (left) her online friend, Heather, also from Swim chat!

Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their heart to us.
Many people will walk in and out of your life,
but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.
