I thought i might

try to sum up people i know

in one sentence

so, in no particular order, here goes!

i don't think i've put any information here that you wouldn't want people to know - no addresses, surnames or anything are mentioned!! but if you have a problem with this, email me and let me know!! that also applies if i've left  you out!! sorry!

oh and i've put in brackets at the end how long i've known them, too...

Shula: good friend, claims i don't annoy her, knows more about me than almost anyone, i like her house and her dad's car but i'm allergic to her dogs... [nearly a year]

Meg: Y9 but doesn't act it, taller than me, got very annoyed with me in the past but seems ok now, has my sympathy for living where she does and seems to have some very scary friends, always good to talk to! [nearly a year really, though we first met a couple of years back]

Becca C: had to put up with my depression caused by Victoria during Y12 and 13, did so kindly and patiently, even asks my advice sometimes! [nearly 3 years]

Becca B: friend of meg's, feeds me virtual jellybeans, not as psychic as she thinks she is! [about 6 weeks]

Sam: short, likes to eat, too harsh on herself, has a very confusing personal life... [about, erm, dunno 3 months?]

Alex: has known me for longer than anyone, pretty much, i depend on his maturity to contrast with my childishness, a good friend even though i do sometimes feel inferior... hehe... [must be 10 years]

Nicole: in Y13 we were like brother and sister; at least we thought so, everyone else thought it was much dodgier than that... well it wasn't so there; i was always a little concerned by her drinking and attracting dodgy men but hopefully she's past that phase now... ahahahaha... [nearly 3 years but we didn't really speak for the first year i don't think]

Pete: a bit like alex in the "tall and previously slightly nerdy" department - correct me if i'm wrong - seems to be building in confidence but still needs to see the bright side of things more readily sometimes! [about 2 months]

Katy: <childish giggle> very difficult to talk to on MSN cos she just says "hee hee" to everything... better in real life but probably a good idea if we don't see each other too often... teehee... rather difficult to understand but she seems cool to me... [about 2 months]

Victoria: caused me no end of angst in Y12 and half of 13 cos of my unfortunate crush on her... we went through a kind of renaissance as good friends at the end of last year but now she seems to have disappeared - hope she'll have more time to talk after the exams! [nearly 3 years]

Rachel: used to be such a sweet little girl, quiet, well-behaved and all that... hopefully still is but it's hard to say really... used to scare me but not any more, although i wasn't very impressed with her being so good at everything, making me feel inferior :(!! [about 2 and a half years]

Mark: haven't seen much of him this year; he spends most of his time "with emma" or so it seems... friendly, amusing, rather more mature than me but then who isn't?? [must be over 4 years]

Andy: has the money, the car, the girl - what more could he want... teehee... and good at music too... and a film star... no i don't want to be him but he's a good person to know [must be over 4 years]

Sarah-Jayne: terrible taste in music - Right Said Fred?? h o n e s t l y - but enthusiastic and always willing to listen and dispense sage advice - thanks! [nearly 7 years i guess]

Wayne: has arguably TOO many girls - or the same one too much - but he's quite entertaining, except when drunk and in my car; hope i don't offend him with some of the comments i make at his expense... i really mean to be friendly!! [about 18 months]

Darz: don't know much about him but he seems ok; not sure whether he's really as innocent as he pretends to be; really shouldn't be so dedicated to Big Brother [less than a year]

Sian: don't know much about her, really, but seems friendly enough; likes to make the most of life, which is a most admirable philosophy [about 3 months perhaps]

Annabel: nice enough to talk to normally, but she's so annoying sometimes!! [couple of years]

Ruth: rather clever Engineering student and musician! [ooh ages, at least 5 years]

Nicola: long-standing comrade in school ensembles, zoologist, have known her for a surprisingly long time! [nearly 8 years]

Dawn: Y9, friend of Victoria's, lives in my old house

Catherine: Y9, friend of Dawn's, sometimes scary

April: Y9, friend of Catherine's, don't know much about her
