Andrea: my awesome little horn chick! I'm so proud of you, sweetie, keep up the good work. Don't eat too many Pixie Stix, k? :o)

Andy C: "Ren-ape! Ren-ape!!!," relentless shit about being a model, bowling, keyboard addiction, Montreal spying, threats of rupturing my femoral artery...thanks for converting me to Nordic ski-dom and teaching me how to drive! "Oh, my...was that a FedEx truck? Do you remember what comes in a FedEx truck, Andy? That's right, horse popsicles!" Now, "get your bitch ass in that kitchen..." lol

Andy W: I've got two bucks, man...want some Zebra cakes? How about on the way back from States you and me have a little eating contest, eh? You're a cool kid, and before you know it, you're gonna kick Jake's ass back into the horse it came from! lol

Anya: *snif* all the way back in Kazakhstan, now, Anya. I still remember how to count to ten in Russian! And I promise to make the cake. Remember snowshoeing with Marissa? And microwave popcorn? "Oh my gosh, it's going to EXPLODE!!!" tee hee

Austin: skankin' pickle! (what does that mean, anyway?), 1/2 of your 7th grade "girlfriend" lol...you rule at horn! Yeeah! I have a section! Woohoo!

Ben: another great SYMS buddy...you were the best conductor in class, hands down. Keep it up! I'm sure we'll keep in touch this year and that I'll see you around next year, too. Don't get too bored at Tedeschi's hehe ;o)

Billy: Good morning, Billy! Are you driving today? Eeek! So tell me, how does it feel to be a su-per genius and a member of the midterm Smart Car? Just remember, I was the only other person who passed! I'm so glad I met you at driver ed -place of all places- you're a great, funny guy who I look forward to hanging out with, even when driver ed is all done! *snif*...Counting the days till your party, hehe.

Brittany: another cool, naturally talented horn Protegette! Keep playing...even if you're not gonna be in band, I hope you'll do horn choir or brass choir. I'll be so sad if you don't!

Chris (B., aka SR): Hey, Chris, I'm really glad I met you this year thanks to Kels! All-State with the wannabe Chinese conductor was fun, (how's your trombone player?), and I think it's funny that you like to hit on some girl with the same name as me and piss Kelsey off. Haha. Keep trumpeting away, sorry you missed Basie, and we should hang out sometime this summer! See ya around, SR. :o)

Chris Casinghino really needs to go on a date with me and order a bloody steak, but he has to finish the last 27 pages of his independent study first.

Christine: "Christiiiiine! I lost my article again!" You've saved my butt so many times, I've lost track. You're so patient, you can fix anything, and you do! The paper is as awesome as it is because of you...you're my hero.

Christine: my little Christine! You're soo cute! Remember...bein' too po, bass clarinet rape, Hampstahz, hairy monkeys...? And now skiing. We ARE buff. Heh heh.

Cynthia: dearie, I'm so glad I met you this year. You're a wonderful girl, and I hope that someday I'll be able to see you again.

Other Dan: Eckie Mc Eckman! I miss you at the Little Green. We need to hang out soon, yo! Where might I put a link so people can watch Using Lilly?

Danielle: horse buddy! We've only been friends since what, 2nd grade? I don't see you that often now, but I know that ours is a friendship that will last. I have thoroughly enjoyed our State Line chick trips, sleepovers, trail rides, and "man rants."

Dorinda: my pants pal! 3 pairs each this year, bitten on the bum by the evil music dept. table. Rindy, you give the best advice in the entire world.

Gail/Gershona/George: navel ring advice! Cantering on Tuppie! The Jew-of-the-year award! Listening to me vent and vent and vent...you're another one that gives great advice. You always know just what to say or do to make me feel better.

Heather B.: "Oooh nooo! The rafter's all dusty and there's green paint on it!!!" hehe I was more than happy to help you with the banner, Heather, and anything else you need. You're a sweetheart, and I'm so glad I met you this year. I hope you'll be in brass choir - keep playing that trumpet.

Heather S.: "I love going to Pasquale's...I can say, 'I'm goin' to Candia for some great Italian food!'" As much as I tease you for living there, Heather, you know I'm jealous cuz your neighbors are horses! We need to hang out this summer, yo!

Jake: Kill yourself! "Just because in your French pornos someone always gets it up the ass doesn't mean that I do just because I'm French!!!" Seriously though, thanks for all the skiing form tips. Maybe someday I won't totally be eating yours and Andy's dust!

Jason: augggh! The Circle of Crap! "Jason, did you just say what I think you said?!" We brought you out of your shell this year, bud...I had so much fun Mod G. Chicoine is THE man. Jiminy Wickham! *steals Cheeto*

Jay: oi, where's the yellow submarine? Don't fall in that wet wood bonfire!

Jen C: Dude, you are, in a word, THE MAN (k, it's 2 words, bear with me here). I've had so much fun with you at All-State and hangen' w/the Ben-Man at GMYSO I can't even begin to say. Have fun raping Mike. Hehe.

Jen G: I'm so glad I met you this year, Jen! You ARE a good skier, don't listen to yourself, listen to me...and your bassoon bubble wrap is wicked cool. Thanks for the ride home. Hehe.

Jenn T: HOLE IN ONE! HOLE IN ONE!!! Hehehe I'm glad we finally worked out our differences this year. *grins and hugs*

Jenn N: Selfish fishes...hehe...Jennie...how I love my dear Jenn! From our late-night online rants to the barefoot activist crusade, to helping me through a painful turn of events this spring, you've always been there. Your advice is wonderful, and you never tire of listening, it seems. I wish you all the best, but should things go wrong, I only hope I can be there for you like you are for me.

Jess A.: I'm so glad I got to know you this year, Jess...we can survive the dual horrors of junior year and pasteup together!!! You are amazing...make sure also to not let HIM string you along for too long, ok? :o) Be happy! And get some freaking sleep!

Jess C.: Hooray for Wendy's coupons! Am I really to be your party planner, Miss Jess? I'd be honored! Thanks for passing along all the sage band/guy advice...I always have great fun hanging out with you and Dan!

Jess von S.: you rule, man! I really admire your work ethic, and our late-night geometry freakout sessions were loads of fun. But...we're rid of 'im forever! No more "ssssstttttttttt......" lolol

Jessipaulson: Sweet Jessie! You're always such fun to be around; I'm so glad we have crazy Chicoine together for math.

Kate: I didn't know you all that well till the end of the year, but I'm glad I got to meet you. You're sooo funny...don't forget that everything is a sexual innuendo, even Gersh's resurrected frog!

Katie: horse/church/confirmation buddy! We survived it...and didn't kill anyone either. Woohoo! I'm still most impressed with our internet sermon-writing skills, as well. Come riding with me sometime.

Kim: I'm so glad I met you this year...see, good things (meeting you) can come out of not-so-good ones (erm...). I have great fun talking to you online, had an awesome time sleeping over @ UNH with you guys, and hope we can do a horn duet before you go back to school!

Krystina/Farmerman Ralph: I remember sitting on the bus with you in 8th grade...remember when some kid threw a rock out the window?

I really admire you, my freshman bio chick! rrrr...I should've done that. Hehe.

Louisa: I'm so honored to know you, Louisa! I have so much fun hanging around with you and pretending that we're going to have a lesbian affair so that Andy gets all excited. haha. Just kidding.

Marcia: fuzzy pants! Honduras! Moldy peaches! Ralph! Ahh...Marcia, you're the randomest person I know. You're not afraid to be yourself, which is awesome. I'm so glad we've gotten to be better friends this year. We have more jokes than I can list here...the jar of coconut monkey semen, furry headband that looked like a dyke cut on CVN, Mr. E. "coming out of the closet"...I could go on, but I won't. We still need to learn how to bellydance!

Marie: *sigh* I love you, Marie. If I looked up sweetheart in the dictionary I'm sure your picture would be there. You're so thoughtful and kind and...auggh!

Matt: Matt! Awesome online buddy! I hope you had fun out west and took some good pictures...but come back soon! Who am I s'posed to talk to at 3 in the morning, yo? Now, go microwave yer own damn noodles! I'm takin' the kids, all 19 of 'em, and I'm leavin' this trailer park!

Mattie: I love Mattie! You're my hero...but remember that even though bass clarinets are cool, horns are the coolest :o) my horn dedicates its performance in "Kinky Fermata" to you.

MC: Marie-Celine! I'm glad I sent you that letter way back in like 4th grade...we've been pen pals ever since. And now we've met in person, gone riding on both sides of the Atlantic together...and have a free place to stay in the other's country! How much better can it get? :o)

Morgan: Morgie! Always there and ready to tell me what I hate to hear most. Your honesty confounds me, forces me to look inside myself, and eventually I am grateful for it.

PI-CKLE! What up, dude? I like your picture in my guestbook. Heh, heh. Thanks for waiting for me every day after Mod G, bud...you should be in jazz band next year!

Rachel: Rachel! I miss sitting across from you in French with Madame! I hope we have gym together next year or something...*snif*

Ryan/Georgy: Ryan, I have to congratulate you. No one has ever so quickly and thoroughly scared the everliving daylights out of me like you did in World Cultures. I had so much fun sitting next to you last year...take care of yourself, and thanks again for the subway token!

Ryan from SYMS: Timberlane pride, yo! I'll look for you at the band show. See ya next year...

Tim C: Timmmmmmmyyyyyy! You rule! Your work ethic is incredible; I admire you so...and you got brass choir off to a wonderful start and kept it going, which was a ton of work. I hope you and Jen and I can hang out some more...we need to have that sleepover with Jess and Dan and Marissa! It'll be fun...SYMS was awesome too. I appreciate all the advice and support. You're a true friend.

Trista: Trista, I haven't seen you all summer! Waah! I'm glad I met you this year...the only person who made fun of Ms. E.'s hair more than I did was probably you lol...and someday I promise to make a Mrs. Rinker tape for you. "Remember, everyone, don't go into the woods alone. There are men out there that like little boys..." hehehe
