Josh has been my best friend for several years. We went to the Renaissance School of the Arts together, and became friends when we travelled to Russia as part of a student exchange. Josh always knows what to say to make me feel better. Josh is gay, but if he wasn't I think I would marry him. We see less of each other now but he will always be one of my closest friends.

Liz F. is the friend I have known the longest. We had, until 2007, officially gone to school together our entire lives. Liz graduated from UW-Milwaukee in 2007 with a degree in Art History and now goes to graduate school in North Carolina.  In this picture Liz and I are being flapper chicks at Homecoming.

Liz H. is a friend I made in college, via the other Liz. We like to make dirty jokes and watch obscure television shows together. Liz also graduated in 2007 from UW-Milwaukee with a degree in Library Sciences and is attending graduate school at UWM. Liz also loves costume design and is very talented at designing clothing for dolls. In this picture Liz is wearing her award-winning Hermione Granger costume at a cosplay.

Shawn is an old friend of mine. We saw each other off and on for about four years, until recently. We loved to watch movies and TV shows together. I still talk to him sometimes but sadly, we rarely hang out.
