|<3||My wonderful friends!|<3|

"A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out."

It was weird for me, updating this page, because, out of all of them, it has changed by far the most! In a way it was a bit depressing, but I guess we all move on. Now I am surrounded by many new individuals as well as old ones, ALL whom I love in completely different ways! You can't choose your family, but you can choose your friends; they are the people who reflect several aspects of your personality, I think, and that is why they mean more to you than perhaps any others.

So I'd just like to say thanks to all my friends, whether I still see you very much or not, because you have brightened up my life in some way. That sounds cheesy, but...hey, it's true.

Mad - There is only one word to describe her- pedant! Hehe. Just kidding. Madeleine is funny, kind, intelligent, abnormal, strange, undignified and I love her loads! ^_^

Rachel - The real "Ron Weasley" of the group. She may be a little perverted, obsessed with death and so may end up working in a morgue, but she's also very smart, well-opiniated, tends to say posh phrases like "Whoopsy-daisy" which I constantly remind her but that's what friends are for!

Gemma - Gemma is a Yuugiou obsessed pacifist who, once you get to know her, is one of the nicest and most loyal people you will meet, if a little shy at first. She's a brilliant artist and has quite a dry sense of humour, but one which can really crack you up!

Hannah - Wow. God brought us together, big time! I knew her a bit before Spring Harvest this year but now she means so much to me! Hannah is kind, funny, groovy and it was her who brought me back to church, something I would not have done otherwise and I will never regret doing so!

Becky - Turn your back and she might attempt to trip you up, or prod you or...Becky is one of the happiest, silliest people I know, who always cheers me up just by being as bubbly as she is.

Steph - One of the church people I have got to know so incredibly quickly! Steph is actually 3 years younger than I am, although she acts so mature you would never realise! Both of us are actually relatively similar, except I don't have to put up with James for a brother. Poor Steph- how do you cope? O_^

Chris - Chris, we certainly have a lot of history! Still, everything is sorting itself out and we are gradually becoming really good mates. And I'm so pleased! So many times you have given me really good advice, or even been my bodyguard! Hehe.

James - Should I say James or Bill? Bill is 100% funnier, except it means he calls me "Gill" as a result! James is completely unique, and is weird in his own special way, which noone else could get away with! He is Steph's brother and always likes to be mean to me with the consequence that I get my own back by being mean to him!

Laura - I don't see her very much now, but Laura and I still keep in touch via MSN. Laura and I are friends from primary school, and she is someone whom I can laugh for ages with! The first time I laughed until my sides hurt was with Laura!

James - I don't see you that much now, either? Hor are you, Jim? One of the best impressionists I know, James is a typical boy who makes me laugh a lot. Unfortunately, he's moving away in August, to live with his Dad. Will I ever see him again? I really hope so!

Lizzie - James' sister, who I haven't seen for AGES! Lizzie is one of my more girlie friends, and we must catch up and go shopping or something soon, GIRLFRIEND! Hehehe. o_^

Alex - Another of my friends at Spring Harvest, who is completely hilarious and also very much like me. We both have pointy canines, a quick temper, blue/green eyes, brown hair and are considered boffs at our shcools! I'm also friends with his brothers Sam and Matt, too, but I know Alex the most. Unfortunately he lives in Shropshire! But we keep in touch, and I hope to meet up with you soon! Oh, and I hope he becomes a rockstar, with that guitar of his.

Sarah - Haven't seen you for AGES! How are you? Sarah is another of my primary school friends. We keep missing eachother's texts, though, or running out of credit. I must meet up with her soon!

Ellie - Another friend from Spring Harvest. How are you? Ellie is sweet, friendly and does BELL-RINGING! I am SO jealous- I'd love to do so myself!

Bex - I don't really see you much anymore, we must catch up! I know we aren't best friends anymore, but I had some really fun times with you! It just got a bit too demanding, I suppose. I think we are now quite different anyway. I just hope you find God at some point in your life.

Everyone else! - There are a lot of people I have not mentioned in detail! EJ, one of my best friends from Primary school who moved to Yorkshire, Fumika, another who went back to Japan, Charlie, one of my oldest friends who I never see, but still, Katrine, now living back in Denmark, as well as all the people in my class, who also rule!
