Those Who Made Me Who I Am

Okay, so my friends aren't really a distraction. Ever since my junior year in high school, I've come to realize that my friends are very special to me. Sure, there's always the family that you're stuck with, but these people have actually there to help me, and they didn't have to. All that I could ask of them would be to move a bit closer instead of living so far away.

Pictures coming soon!

Friends Worth Mentioning

Betsy

Also known as the "Evil Twin". One day, we realized that we both owned the same shirt from a car repair shop, only in different colors. We've been twins ever since. During our senior year in high school, Betsy and I had four classes together, and naturally sat next to each other. We were also in the high school's Science Club together, but never in the same event. How did she get to be the evil twin? Well, I'm the good twin after all...

Bill

He defines the true meaning of friend if anything. During my last semester at Swarthmore, on our four person hall, he's the one I'd talk to about anything, because the other two had girlfriends taking up their free time. We've also got a lot in common...we like listening to Sting, we like to play frisbee golf, we both have this 'take things as they come' attitude. Hey, he even pushed me around in a wheelchair when I fractured my ankle this summer. What a guy.

John

I'd cal him my best male friend in high school, best until I met the evil twin. We had 9th grade homeroom together (Mrs Brooks, bleah), and he was the one who finally got me into playing AD&D. He also introduced me to all of his friends, since I was new to Chapel Hill then. He gets me motivated, since he graduated from Guilford in three years. I wish that we didn't lose contact for a few semesters, I feel like I hardly know him now.

Josh(ua)

If anything, Josh has this dark side. All day long, you'll see him with his head in a book, usually something classically Roman or Greek. But with the rising of a full moon, he'll change into the roleplaying, beer-drinking, funloving 'beast'. Josh brought me from Ordinary Gaming Geek Status to the World of Darkness, but I haven't been fully awakened yet. He also plays guitar, which will come in handy should I ever get a craving to write a song.

Max

The only friend I had in Sophomore Seminar (also known as the Reform Grade). What's cool about him is that he's part Native American, and has contact with his relatives of that ancestry. What's weird is that he has the same last name as Betsy, which sorta makes him my "cousin". Maybe some brothers had an argument during the Civil War, and one went North, one went South. And hey, he knows his basketball, that's for sure.
