(Photos have been substituted
until I can scan real ones).
In my opinion, friends do not retail much
about a person's accomplishments, utilites
or personality. Relationships, however,
are true embellishements, results of a person's
stability and character. My relationships
with my friends reveal much about me.
In this section, I shall describe, and attempt
to pimp, my pals.
_________________________________________________
This is Krista.
Status: Best girl friend—redeem for unconditional love.
Love life: Very single, but in high demand.
Likes: Anime, photography, fashion, throwing things, dancing, other girls.
Dislikes: When people are wishy-washy.
Qualities: Aggressive, driven, quirky humor.
Might be heard: Conversing about anything and everything.
Song that reminds me of her: Up the Junction, by Reel Big Fish.
This is Clare.
Status: Ex-boyfriend--I still adore him entirely.
Love life: Single—watch out, ladies, he’s aiming to be your vicious lover-man!
Likes: Chilling at home, acting, listening to techno excerpted from video games, eating Asian cuisine. Recently, has condoned staying up late to play Pokemon—a very questionable practice.
Dislikes: When people shout nonsense, the multi-colored walls of his new house, Jacob Goldman, when girls lead guys on.
Qualities: Is a merciless ham. Has become a supposed man-whore. Easy to hold. Sometimes thinks quite highly of himself.
Might be heard: Reciting Shakespeare, or avoiding arguments with his mother.
Song that reminds me of him: Well, everything. Since I miss him, his memory has obliged to tap into my entire CD ensemble.
This is Emily the Fairy.
Status: Close, fantastical girl friend.
Love life: Single, but set on a single crush.
Likes: Fairies, writing poetry, journaling, alterna-girly-rock music, gently and lovingly impacting on others.
Dislikes: Egotistic explorations, driving me to P&C all of the time.
Qualities: A few people have cast that Emily does drugs, since she balances between mellow, fruitful merriment and solemn rebellion. Very romantic, and sometimes childlike.
Might be heard: Standing up for partners she doesn’t even appeal to much.
Song that reminds me of her: Anything by Nickelback, or Take on Me by A-Ha.
This is Dan.
Status: Best guy friend, ever ever. I’m going to marry him someday.
Love life: Single. He’s searching for that special, intellectual, skinny Japanese chick with an appreciation for Dreamcast. Interested? E-mail Dan at dnaughton1@yahoo.com.
Likes: Cars (he’s up for sex in his Lex!), gossip, speaking French, heading to the cinema, Good n’ Plenties, working out, compiling a stress-inducing schedule, expressing his potent opinions about others, boobs, math, and rigorous fun on his trampoline.
Dislikes: This list definitely changes all too often, but Ms. Steele, my art teacher, might persist as a regular.
Qualities: Worries consistently. Very polite—a parent’s dream. Surrounds himself in intriguing and complementary friends. The ultimate prep.
Might be heard: Procreating the latest gossip that you never wished to know.
Song that reminds me of him: Kathy’s Song, by Simon and Garfunkel.
This is Anna.
Status: Exuberant and huggable girl friend.
Love life: Currently going out with Anton—a cynical but affectionate relationship.
Likes: Performing on stage, glittery makeup, arguing, debating, speaking enthusiastically about Anton, communicating with me during Greek class, anime.
Dislikes: She’d claim she dislikes pissy citizens, but I believe she finds them entertaining.
Qualities: Absolutely scathing and whirlwind humor, abundant with hugs, easy to speak to.
Might be heard: Five miles away!
Song that reminds me of her: Strange Girl, by The Cure.
This is Anton.
Status: Insane guy friend.
Love life: Currently going out with Anna.
Likes: Anything involved with computers, including creating his own graphics and animations. Also, medieval knights and history, his headphones, guns and artillery, burning things, conversing with a diverse repertoire of individuals (including Ms. Satterfield!), clove cigarettes, pissing on the system.
Dislikes: People he has deemed idiotic or dull. Teenage-angsty poetry.
Qualities: Talks insatiably about everything and anything, but retains much tact. Very sensitive and giving.
Might be heard: Complaining about his unfortunate migraines.
Song that reminds me of him: Allergic, by Placebo.
This is Val.
Status: Worthy companion—I met him online. He’s from Florida.
Love life: Single, but devoted to Steffie (a nasty girl of whom I obtain doubts). Are you an attractive and intelligent goth or punk girl who enjoys porn and sympathetic conversation? IM Val—his screen names are ValeksEye and Valthegothpunk.
Likes: Music (Velvet Underground, Switchblade Symphony), girls, speaking German, his dogs, speaking online in segmented hours.
Dislikes: Those mentioned as ridiculous, animal abusers, cigarettes.
Qualities: Can be shy or silent, but very observant. One of the most loyal and tolerant humans I know.
Might be heard: Pining for unrequited love, or bitching contently.
Song that reminds me of him: Many songs by The Cure.
