So this is a big change here at Me Central...I'm dividing the Friends page! Ack! Difficulty! Time! Choices! Anyway, I decided to separate the "This is [friend] and [inside joke] and [compliment]" from the group pictures/candids and such. So here you go...the pictures that didn't happen on some occasion worthy of its own page:

Yes, yes...it is me and Jenn in my senior picture photo shoot thingamajig...aren't we...yeah, it's not a good picture.

This one, on the other hand...how hot are we? But seriously...um, Kevin was in this one but I erased him because he looked like a dumbass.

This...this here...this is a picture, man! Me and my two best friends! Rock ON! I want a giant poster of this, and I'll make offerings to it because it would be so awesome...but, psychosis aside, I love this picture. Thank you very much to Lisa's father Paul for taking it because he's cool.

Okay, this is obviously from a photo booth. Photo booth photos are like instant nostalgia: they're black and white, you're doing something ridiculous, and they fade so quickly. Anyway, here's us, at some mall, looking funny.

Jon and James...this was their graduation day and Jon was having a little family shindig at his grandmother's house that afternoon and yep, good times. His family got to see the Jon/aluminum statue photo of yore...it was popular.

Earlier the same day: Zack, his mother, and Jon. Zack and Jon were posed all nice and Karen busts through and grabs both of them and scares them: great. She died later that summer, but she was certainly lively this particular day! I didn't know her too well, but she seemed like a great lady.

Kevin and Jen. The other Jenn, Kevin, and I were planning on seeing a movie and we went to Village Pizza beforehand, and Jen and Zack happened to be there...Nate, too, I think. So we mingled for a bit.

Who looks like a giant freak with messy hair? Meagan looks like a giant freak with messy hair! But Jenn looks very well-groomed and she likes this picture and I'm humble, so here we are.

Aw! My beautiful chums! Kevin and Jenn went to prom together and got pictures due to popular demand.

On that same track, here's one of those $5 no-pretty-background-nor-balloons shots.

Moments later/earlier...now with my prom date, Dave...notice how we're not touching...yeah, that went far...but Dave's good people. Also notice how white my chest is...I am the pigment-less woman.

I love this picture. From left to right: Zack, Jen, Dave, me, Kim, and Brian. We look like a big people-fan, all spread out and rounded...it's great. Zack and Dave have delightful expressions, and I love how Zack and Brian have their legs on Dave, and Brian and Kim look thoroughly amused, so it can't be bad.

Mmmm...love this picture. Luken and I, drenched to the core. It's at Moonlight Madness, our town's summer shindig where everyone busts out the skank-wear and cruises. It used to be fun, back in the day...when they had cool rides at the carnival. But even then, it rained nearly every year and, as you can see, it rained this particular year. We were already soaked, so we stood under the eves of a grocery store to get maximum drop-size and Jenn took this picture. I love it. We then went to Ames where I promptly bought a complete dry outfit.

Same day...Kim, Brian, and Jen. I didn't quite know Brian so well then, but here they all are, after he graduated.

Ah...olden days. Henry, me, and Jo at my little Halloween happening in either seventh or eighth grade. Hank's a graduate, I'm a witch, and Jo's a moon (she's not wearing her moon mask here). Good times, good times. This was one of my very favorite pictures before, you know, the thing...

Jen and Andrew...a Hawaiian dance...my shirt, Jen's skirt, and Andrew's willingness to make a fool of himself combine for a delightful little shot taken by Kim.

Again with the Hawaiian shirt...that thing got a lot of mileage. Anyway, this is The Waterfight. Freshmen year I had a cafe study last period of the third trimester: GOOD times. Anyway, the only people in this picture that were actually in that cafe study are Kim, Andrew, Luken, and myself. This is actually where I first got to know Luken. Yep, that was the beginning of the whole deal...up until then, he was Henry's other weird friend. Okay, so anyway, last day of school, we all head outside and soak ourselves. Our assistant principal took this picture for us...he was a cool guy. So this is, from left to right, Jenn, Henry, me, Andrew, Luken, some girl, Chais, Kyle, and KJ, with Jen and Pat in the front.

This, as you might guess, was taken in Claremont. This is Sunshine and Jen and we were there to watch a movie that we were really early for. So, to kill time, we went into Fashion Bug and all tried on the same dress. As we were peeling them off, a fire alarm went off. So we all went outside, and fire trucks came, and I don't think there was actually a problem. So the girls posed in front of a shiny red fire engine.

Jo and Luken. I was taking pictures of them one day after school to finish up a roll, and as soon as I did, they started in with these sexy Calvin Klein poses, looking like their skinny, willowy, photogenic selves. Damn them! I had no film!

So I've cut it down a lot...and there are a bunch of other places on my site to see my friends, so no worries. Whoo. Hope y'all enjoyed that...
