	[Name] Madison [Age]18 [How we met] At school in grade nine [Words] Maddy is weird. When she's grumpy she's really quiet and just sits there with a blank look on her face kind of like this :| and then sometimes she'll whine. But when she's hyper she's really annoying. Especially when you're in class or on a spare and trying to do homework. She won't sit still and if you don't talk to her she's like a little kid and just keeps bugging you. But even though it's annoying, it's funny at the same time. Sometimes. I remember when I started hanging out with her in grade nine I thought she was so funny because I had never met anyone with that kind of humour before. It sure is unique (and by unique I mean you're a freak). Everytime I go up the business hall stairs I remember that time in grade 9 when I forced her to come to my locker with me and she wasn't feeling well or something so she just kind of fell onto the stairs and started crawling like a loser. If anyone else was around I would've run and we probably wouldn't be friends anymore. We have tons of memories together but most of the funny ones are from going out of town for concerts (mostly wave). Like that one time when we went to Niagara Falls and it was my first time being there so we stopped by the falls so I could see them but I couldn't find them. "I'm in the hay!" or that time on the same trip when we were running from the pool to the room because it was really cold but then we noticed that Savage Garden was on the radio so we stopped despite the cold. "Don't you just love Savage Garden?" good times good times. I can't forget about the hotdog wrapped in bacon from the Pickel Barrel! Maddy is now in college but that hasn't changed anything. it sucks not seeing her everyday at school but we are still as close as we were before. i'm going to fanshawe with her next year so she can show me around and we can eat lunch together. There is much more to say but I am going to cut it off here. Lots of memories and there will be more to come! I love you!
	[Name] Laura [Age] 18 [How we met] Through Danielle I think? At the Moffatts concert in Aug 2001 [Words] I think she's one of the sweetest, most generous people I've met. I don't know how anyone could dislike her. She makes me want to kill myself. Laura is one of the weirdest people I have ever met. But that is what makes her her so I guess I love her for it. She has the srangest obsessions (the Olsens and Hilary Duff) and when she's obsessed it's actually kind of sick. She'll buy anything and everything that has any kind of relation to the person (can I remind you of the dead bees and all the "M" size stickers because it stands for Moffatt?) Sometimes I just don't understand her logic, but I don't know anyone else that does insane things like that. She knows exactly what to say to annoy me, and that makes me want to push her into oncoming traffic and then slit my wrists. She wishes she was emo just like me. Laura likes to wear band shirts from bands who she doesn't even like or has never even heard of. I wish I could do that. I can't hang out with her for extensive lengths of time because my stomach starts to hurt from laughing too hard. Like that time when we were in the car with Stacey and her mom (who's got it goin on) and her mom was swearing at the pakis. Or the time when I was pissed off because I didn't meet Avril Lavigne but Laura thought that it would be a great time to catch me on tape in front of the CN Tower. "You're so wasted! No, YOU'RE wasted!". Fun stuff. She needs to start hanging out with me more because her musical taste has gone down the drain. I remember last summer when she was cool and liked good bands. I don't know what happened, but she needs to get back on track with that. She witnessed and shared my first Hanson concert with me which I will always remember (It only took 6 years and a poweroutage which caused it to be postponed!) We are so cool that we can recite all of Tulsa Tokyo and The Middle of Nowhere, and we can put it on tape too! We are best friends with New Found Glory because they can tell each other what they want to order in restaurants and we can help them find Blanco Meow and look for lost fishes in the ocean. Also, a cat peed on your sleeping bag, and you want to kill yourself! Laura loves me. Don't let her deny it.
	[Name] Teresa [Age] 18 [How we met] grade nine [Words] Teresa is my chicken and I love her. I would do anything to keep her from being upset, although I really suck at making her feel better. I still try. I would give my liver for her to be happy, and I will be there for her anytime of the day. I like to protect her, because everyone needs a friend like that. Teresa's dad and my mom used to know each other when they were younger and they used to go to bars together. I find that extremely funny/weird. She used to have a trailer and we took a trip there once that was alot of fun. We drove around in the golf cart and ate lots of ice cream and then tried to get rid of 3 guys that were following us around. Teresa is hot. That's all there is to it.
	[Name] Michelle [Age] 18 [How we met] grade 9 [Words] michelle is my only friend left that is still in high school, so i'm forced to put up with her. just kidding. i'm glad that she's still going to shitty clarke road with me so i have someone to complain about it with. sometimes when we're forced to spend our spares together in the small student council office we go a little bit insane and people wonder what is wrong with us. we like to make fun of people together, because really, it's hard not to. like if someone walks by wearing the ugliest outfit you've ever seen, of course you're going to make fun of it! they deserve to be made fun of for leaving the house like that. we have music class together and everytime michelle plays a test i pee myself laughing and people give me mean looks because obviously it's mean to make fun of someone playing a test, but it's michelle, so i'm allowed. mr smythe made the mistake of putting us in the same ensemble group for our projects. HAVE FUN WITH THAT. but yes. where would i be without michelle? not too far!!
	[Name] Beth [Nicknames] Bethy [Age] 18 [Music] Simple Plan, Good Charlotte, Not by Choice, The Reason, Reset [How we met] Through Maddy in grade 10 [Words] Beth has left me and gone away to university. but we still talk as often as possible. I write her emails alot, complaining about my life or whining about something that is making me sad and she always comforts me. we always chat on msn, and I can tell her anything and trust that she won't say anything if I don't want her too. I am so proud of her for going to university and I know that she will do awesome! it might be scary at first, but I know she will succeed! She has a cat named Alberto Bonidareto that she probably treats like a prince because he is sooo cute. Beth likes to say she's a vegetarian but eat pogos for lunch. And when she is confronted about this, she says that she'll start being a vegetarian the next day. Which never really happens. She used to ride horses until her mom sold hers to some bitch that she used to know. She was also in cadets and every so often she'll tell a story about it. I don't think I've ever heard the same story twice. She makes fun of me because I don't know how to straight lace my shoes myself but the only reason she knows how to do it is because she had to sit in a room until she figured it out. We used to have a secret hand shake until she started using it with everyone else. Beth and I have had some pretty funny conversations in the past. "He does a full body stretch before we go to bed" "You can have Benji on the bottom and Chico on the top because Benji's a heffer. But not as much of a heffer as Paul. He's the papa heffer!" Beth has perfect hair but she wishes it was thicker or curlier so she could actually do something with it. That's about all there is to say about this one. Next.
	[Name] Lindsay [Age] 18 [How We Met] in grade nine when she told me and alicia that we could eat lunch at her table [Words] I met Lindsay in grade nine when she used to wear her raver clothes. she had the cutest socks with little snakes on them and this blue shirt with a snail (I think) and line green modrobes. I used to love those clothes until she gave them all away. Her and Kyle used to split a medium fry with gravy everyday for lunch unless Kyle forgot to bring money and then I'd have to buy them something. We used to have our own stairwell and one day Lindsay tripped Alicia while she was playing hopscotch. Don't hit Lindsay if you don't expect to be hit back. Harder. She can be very violent when she wants to be despite her size. Just ask alan and his swollen testicle. She gets mad if people tell her she has love handles even though she knows she doesn't. Lindsay colours very slowly and she concentrates really hard when she's colouring. Lindsay has left me now and is living in St. Thomas but I still see her whenever she comes to London and she's moving back in septemember so i guess i can live with that. I think that's just about all I need to say about lindsay. I heart her.
	[Name] Anne [Age] 18 [How we met] the b4-4 chat! oh ya b4-4! [Words] Anne and I helped each other get through a difficult phase in our lives that shall never be spoken of ever again. The only reason we ever became friends was because we have pretty much had the same taste in music and still do. If I ever want some good music to listen to, she'll be the first person I go to for recommendations. All the cool kids love Anne. She is just so cool and it's very hard not to love her. We never have gotten over our Hanson phase and that makes us rock so much that everyone wants to be like us. When we grow up we will live in our hanson mobile and see a new concert every night. We will get tons of press and everyone will know us as "the girls with the hanson mobile". Anne is my Penny Lane and I am hers. We are concert whores but at least we can admit that we have a problem. No matter how sick we get of Simple Plan's album, if they play a show in Toronto you can bet that we'll both be there. Anne introduced me to Simple Plan. I owe her alot for that one. She is very fun to go to concerts with. Concerts are never boring with her around. "I LOVE JONATHAN FROM SIMPLE PLAN!" Trying to start a mosh pit in a crowd of simple plan fans is not an easy task, but we can't say we didn't try 5 times! "Just giver!" Anne you are my dime path. I will always love you!
	[Name] Tarin [Age] 18 [How we met] Through Danielle at a Moffatts concert [Words] I remember back in the day when we used to squeeze/bite each others hands because we were very obsessive. I love Tarin's family and the smell of her house. Her dog has gotten fat, but that doesn't mean I love him any less. Tarin is a princess and it's amusing watching her get ready to go out. No matter where she's going, she has to straighten her hair, put on more deoderant, spray herself with perfume 50 times, and re do her make up. I have never met anyone that owns more lip gloss then her. Laura, Tarin and I make up our own oreo cookie and we dress in the same colours on the same day without realizing it. The 3 of us are just that cool. Tarin gets pissed off very easily and she loves calling people hypocrites. Don't get in Tarin's way when she's mad. She'll threaten to punch a hole through the wall and she'll type really really fast. She might also clench her teeth together really tight and make her eyes bulge out of her head. Tarin's family has a cottage that they visit every summer and one summer we decided to play hide and go seek outside until the wee hours of the night and then they all decided to leave me downstairs sleeping on the couch by myself. The dirt still hasn't come out of my sweater from that experience. When Tarin is drunk she likes to spit alot and ask why her puke is blue. And if you look after her while she's sick, she'll tell you you're her bestest friend in the world and she loves you so much. She gets cravings to go tanning so she can turn black. Tarin can also eat a whole watermelon all by herself. Or she can eat dinner and desert at Jack Astors and then have an ice cream cone and a happy meal at McDonalds. But when she's done her stomach grows 15 sizes. opps.
	[Name] Danielle [Age] 21 [How we Met] at a soulDecision concert [Words] danie b is one of the funniest people in the world. she is obsessed with "radio" and soon you will probably be hearing her on the airwaves!! it's always entertaining to go out with danie b because she always has something to say and i enjoy causing rukus with her in the mall by laughing really loudly. she loves hanson and hilary duff which make us a match made in heaven. i love you danie b!
