My Crazy Friends

*Or*

This page is all about Mis Amigos Locos, or my crazy friends. Through thick and thin, they've been there for me, and have gotten me in more trouble than I could ever imagine at times!

PLEASE MANDI???

*Class of 2003* One of the trouble makers of the group, Nikki J is always around to come up with crazy ideas. She and I both share a love for the Beach Boys, and she has named my car "The Pimp-Mobile." (The Pimpmobile is Alive again!) She's totally obsessed with Tommy Lee, which has gotten us in sticky situations in the library when not-so-nice pictures of him show up and then the screen freezes and we can't get out of it.

*Class of 2003* This is Mandi, or Mandita Bonita Chicita Fahita Monita Margartia Changita Gordita. She's is the crazy loud one of the group, who's always up to a new adventure as long as it involves duct tape and bubble wrap. We love to amuse ourselves by exchanging "Dude, what's mine say?" "Sweet! What's mine say?" "Dude!", or just "Dulce!" "Hombre!" She is also a Glo-Stix Ninja, and higly amused by anything that glows. She may look all sweet and innocent, but wait until you get to know her, or until she comes up with another crazy sign to hang in the bus window on the way to festival!

*Class of 2003* This is Michelle, AKA Shelly, Shelly Belly, Shell-E, ect... Shelly is Mandi's partner in crime, and the Goddess of web pages. Also a Glo-Stix Ninja, Shelly has tried for a few years now to teach me how to rave with those things, but I am a lost cause. She claims she is a wizard, and will not let be become an Elf, and she and Mandi love to have Wizard duels at the movie theaters. Together, Shelly and I raise an imaginary purple Gorilla named George, who often goes to Florida to visit his family, but never brings us back anything.

*Class of 2005* This is is Priscilla, often called Cilla for short, or, for us Spanish speakers, Chair. Cilla is one of the sweeties of the group, even though she speaks this funky language that not many can understand or attempt to speak. She's perfect height for an arm rest, but she moves around too much so she isn't very comfy. Also one of the crazy people, she loves cutting up pictures out of magazines and putting people's heads on different bodies.

*Class of 2004 w00t!!* This is Andrea, or Drea for short. She's got the hardest last name to spell and pronounce, but after 5 years, I have finally mastered it. Drea is captain of our color guard, and trust me, you don't want to be near her when she's got a flag or even just a pole in her hands. She literally gives "Armed Guard" a new meaning. Drea and I compete in academics, for we both strive to be on top. Needless to say, she's winning.

*Class of 2003* This here is Theo. An off and on band geek, she's one of the few sane people that hang out with us. Though one of the blondest, Theo's a sweetie and pretty smart when she puts her mind to it. She and I have a Quid Pro Quo relationship in the parking lot of school: she makes sure my parking spot is open, and I make sure her spot is open.

*Class of 2003* This is Danielle, one of my fellow drummers. She's totally a rebel, and doesn't get along very well with us "band nerds," a title that she does not allow to extend to herself. She often gets me in trouble with our drum major because there's no shutting her up, but she's a total sweetie. She's somewhat of my second-in-command, even though she gets in the most trouble. But I know that if I'm in a pinch, I can always turn to her.

*Class of 2003/2002* Here's Mandi with my big bro Ryan. Ryan is a U.S. Paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne, and he jumps out of perfectly good airplanes for a living. I call him G.I. Joe (which I think he takes offensively), or sometimes G.I. Bro... That dweeb right now happens to be in Iraq. Ryan, if you die, I'm gonna kill ya!!!

*Class of 2002/2001* This is Cherelle, Priscilla's big sister, and Erik. Though seperated by a large height difference, they look incredibly cute together just the same.

*Class of 2003* Here's Mikey with his two Angels, Shelly and Mandi. We all have to closely watch Mikey, and that in itself is a full time job. The 3rd member of the Glo-Stix Ninjas, Mikey has taken over where Shelly left off in teaching me how to rave with Glo-Stix. Unfortunately, I'm still on step #1. Mikey must have been part mosquito in his past life, for he loves biting everything he sees, including hair, hands, fingers, legs, ect... even including his truck.

*Class of 2002/2004* This is me and Joel at Homecoming. Joel graduated 2 years ago, but he's always around to lend a hand. He loves hanging out a Dreas, where he has gotten some very unique nicknames, such as "Poptart" and "Little Priest." You don't want to know... I also call him Ozzy, because like Ozzy Osbourne, I can't understand a word he says! He also does a pretty good Stitch impression, from Disney's Lilo & Stitch.

This is Winter Semi-Formal 2001. In the back (left to right) is Shelly, Andrea, Kellie, and Me. In the front is Theo, Mandi, and Mandy. As you can see, I'm really hard to spot.

This was Homecoming 2002. Back row: Mandi, Drea, Jeannie. Front: Shelly and Me. Again, I'm really hard to spot... (For some reason, I stand out in every group picture...)

Winter Formal 2003, baby! Back: Jeannie, Kellie, Andrea, Me, Theo. Middle: Alli, Cherelle, Priscilla. Front: Shelly & Mandi.

*Class of 2002* This is Daniel, our every loving German exchange student. Though here for less than a year, he is an official band geek for life. He loved singing Britany Spears while sucking helium, as well as laughing at my pathetic attempts at German. He had a strange phobia of Jell-O, which still has not been explained. His favorite sayings were "Let's Rock," and "It's all good, the German's here."

*Class of 2005* This is Brandon. He's our lead trumpet player and keeps me occupied in Jazz Band, even when he won't let me use his PPC to play Solitare when Mac's not looking. His nickname, Balls-of-Steel, is another one of those really long stories that I don't want to go into...

*Class of 2003* Here's Theo again with her friend Amber. Awww.. don't they look innocent??

*Class of 2003/2005* Here's Brandon, Mandi, and Brandon, or Sam, Sméagol, and Frodo. This is the classic "thumbs up" pose that Brandon started and has now become a band craze.

*Class of 2004!* Here's my friend Lin (who I can't spell her real name for the life of me) from Thailand at Homecoming with another hot exhange student from Germany; Alexander.

*Class of 2003* Here's Raymond, the newest addition to the United States Marines.

*Class of 2003* Mandi and her clarinet.

*Class of 2003* Theo and Rachel A.

*Class of 2003* Here's a really nice picture of Kellie.

*Class of 2006* One of our favorite sophomores this year, Becca kicks butt on her saxophones. And we have yet to steal her cookies.

*Class of 2005* Cutsie picture of Cilla

*Class of 2003* Theo posing in her Letterman's jacket.

*Class of 2004!! w00t!* Here's Me, Brittany, and Ali (the two people I have know the longest in my grade) at Corona Del Mar beach. While we spent the early afternoon checking out UC Irvine, we spent the rest of the day (and early night) at the most beautiful beach I've seen in California. The water was perfect, the temperature was great, and we all sat around on the lifeguard tower listening to Rafael play his guitar. (Oh yeah, never ask Brittany for a guitar pick.) Too many funny things happened that day, like the guy standing on the other lifeguard stand.. or the old guy in pink.. or Terenah falling... or Twister on David's towel... Good times...

*Class of 2004!* Here's Brittany and me on Dress Like a Pirate Day. Arrrg! Even after 10 years, me and Brit still know how to have fun!
