I have made so many new friends and I wanted to put them on my page but I knew I'd run out of room so I decided on a new page for you to meet all my friends! Have fun and make you sure you visit their pages too!

Vanessa Masarjian

She's the bananas girl who's real short, got a bad attitude, bad jokes, loves Star Wars to Death, and danced ballet (with shin-splints, brave girl!) She doesn't go to school with me anymore since she moved to Kentucky and I miss her like crazy! But we keep in touch through email sometimes so it isn't that bad.

Kim Frankl

She is the potty-mouthed girl who likes all the same things as me: ROAR, X-Files, Phantom of the Opera, Riverdance, Backstreet Boys, singing, and getting hyper. You go Kimberley! (her real name is Kimberly but she wants to add an "e" so I put it there for her.) Her new nickname with all our other friends and me is Dudley. Not sure how well I could explain that but basically I made a joke about her being a dud bomb and there came Dudley! Kim recently moved but hopefully she will get her arse (I can hear you laughing Dudley!) online and we can keep in touch more. ROAR lives forever in the two of us! hehehe

Katie Brown

Well this girl is just plain weird. A ballet dancer also (same school as Vanessa) but wants to become professional. Make up your mind as to what companyyou want to go to! She's pretty good but (no offence Kat) she'd look a lot better 10 lbs heavier. Seriously Kat! (She hated that comment by the way. I know because she called me and told me so! Hehehe)

STEPHEN O.

Don't mind the caps. Steve wanted his name like that. He's my batty friend who I talk to on the phone and email a lot. I've known him for 3 three years and in that time he hasn't changed. All that's changed is his hair color every year (or every couple of months!) We're good friends but he is a true nutcase. I'm buying him a straight-jacket for Christmas, but no one tell him!

Christina Mercer

I've known her since I was 8 years-old. We've been best friends since then and are pretty much the same (except I'm a few inches taller and she's as pale as Casper the Ghost and I have a bit darker pigmentation since I am part Hawaiian.) People say our voices sound the same when we record them onto .wav files (which is weird because in real life my voice is a little higher than hers most times.) She likes Riverdance and Lord of the Dance too. True we fight sometimes (a veces for all you spanish speakers!), but sisters typically do and we are as close to sisters as you can get without really being sisters! (We think we were switched at birth. Haha not really.) Talk to you later on the phone Chris!

Mailynn Karaus

She's one of my newest friends from school but one of my closest. She's known to me as Sissy! Sissy's really funny and always writes me notes without fail! She's also got tons of little cats, but I only have one. Another similarity! She also is totally into the Backstreet Boys. She, my friend Kim (above), and me too! Anyway if you want to know more about her then go to her page to check it out. She's just starting but it's pretty darn good! We went to a Backstreet Boys concert on July 26th and believe me "if you really want it good" we got the best!! Whahoo! Come to Cincinnati guys!

Here's my 'Net Friends!

Jan Johnson

Well I met her on an internet chat a while back. We got to know each other and we have more in common than we would have at first thought! I met her 3 times when she's coming over to visit with Mark (next friend down) and they're coming back again! She is a few years older than me but what's age got to do with anything? She is notorious for sending me books to read. Who says nice people aren't on the Internet!? Jan has her own homepage too! It's called Jan's World. It's really good and I highly recommend it! Under construction but hey, she's a working girl! She can't be on the computer all the time! There's even a picture of her (and me!) on there!

Mark Johnson

He's my online and real-life buddy. We chat everyday. I met him first on the internet and that's when we first started chatting daily. We don't know exactly when we met or how long we've known each other, but that's all history now. I've met Mark 3 times in person since he and Jan have flown over here and now they're coming back this summer! Wow are they crazy or what? :) He's really sweet, funny, and is full of British humor!! Mark has his own webpage now! He's farther now than he was before. Go visit Mark's Page. Since I am helping him with the page he named the hornpipe that plays on the page after me! How nice ;)

Stephanie (Sorilea)

Sorilea is one of my very old friends from CHATphiles. I first met her when I met Mark and Jan. She's a great young lady and it's always fun talking to her. She's got her own homepage called Steph's Little Corner of the Galaxy. It's a very good page and I think you should go there at least once!

Ashley Galliher

Ashley is my "little sis" from Indiana. Right next door to Ohio! She loves Irish dancing and the Celts as much as I do and we talk about it a lot. We always share Irish dancing tips with each other, like the best way to do rocks! ;) We're also constantly on the subject of Riverdance and Lord. How could we not be? We decided that we were separated at birth somehow since everything we do is so alike. We even eat the same foods on the same day without realizing it! Very weird but cool. Oh yeah I didn't mention that she is the Royal Pink Paper Muffin Cup Queen. (Don't ask you'll have nightmares when you find out what I'm talking about, LOL) Ashley has a lot of cool little pages going all over the internet. One is called Irish Dancing… and is about what else but Irish dance? The other is about her the goofball herself. Click here to read more about Ashley from the lady herself! You know with how well we get along now you'd never guess we started out arguing with each other in emails? Yuppers! We both laugh about it now!

Christina McMenemy

What can I say about the other Christina I know huh? She's cool! There's a start :) She's one of the many friends I have who are in college right now and another of the many who Irish dance! I met her first through an email she sent me about my webpage (I have met more people through that Irish dance page than I'd have imagined!) We soon became really good friends and when I told her about the Cincinnati Feis she was immediately interested. She told me she would be there since she took the day off work and I told her all about my costume so she could find me. And after my reel I was standing around talking about how bad I did when I was approached by a woman with lovely red hair who introduced herself as my email friend Christina! I was SO happy to finally meet her! We get together as much as we can and go out places and stuff and soon she's moving down the street from me! Cool huh? She's also got a page on Irish dance called Getting' Jiggy With it!! I love that title don't you? Check it out! She's just starting it but it's going to be really cool.

Rayna Gubersky

It's Queen Buzzy Bee! (Hard to explain but part of it is how her name "Rayna" sounds like the Spanish "reina" which means "queen".) She's one of my youngest net friends at 12 but she's one of my dearest! We email each other a lot and are going to start real letters soon I hope. Pictures! :) This girl is exactly like me in every single way except age. If she were older I would be very frightened because I had a lost twin! Hehehe She loves reading and writing a lot like me and what's more she Irish dances!! Anyone who Irish dances is awesome. Well except the people who don't dance very well, don't take it very seriously, don't listen to the teacher, and then tell you you're doing something wrong! I know a girl like that from class and I want to wring her neck! (Sorry for the outburst folks.) Rayna is starting her own homepage and it's called Rayna's Humble Irishdancing Homepage Isn't that the cutest name you've ever heard?

Matt Martinson

Matt goes to the University of Dayton and is an Irish dancer. He's a Novice (and a very good one at that!) and I met him too in person for the first time at the Cincinnati Feis. I had the pleasure of seeing him do one or two dances but I missed his hornpipe. Sorry Matty! And he was also there cheering me on when I did all three of my dances. We met through email too (I forget when) and email each other back and forth a lot. Matt really likes soccer and plays on a team. He also went nutty on me during World Cup! Matt doesn't have a webpage so no links here at the end for him! Keep on jigging there and keep winning those medals! (Lucky poop only competes against about 2 or 3 people since he's a guy. Guys are SO lucky!)

Jessica Payne (McBearon)

She's known as TOIDJ (as am I!) What does that mean? Why "The Other Irish Dancing Jessica" of course! We're both named Jessica and we both Irish dance. Our birthdays are ten days apart too! I first started talking to Jess when I visited her page and emailed her about it. From there we started a very cool Irish dancing-based relationship and have now become really good friends! She's seen Lord of the Dance 3 times (lucky thing) and has a lot of pictures online at her page from it! She dances ballet aside from Irish and I bet she's really good! I haven't seen her yet because we live close but not that close (a couple states away). Jess also likes Irish dancing so much she's planning on starting her own dancing troupe called Celtic Fire! I am also very proud to call myself a member! Can't wait to start dancing with you Jess! Oh my! How could I forget to mention that Jess is a real Dew lover! Oh yeah. Wanna visit her pages? They're really spiffy! She's even got a couple dances from Lord of the Dance posted for all you who want to learn them! Here's the link to McBearon's Irish Dance Instructional page.
