Jason B.: And the other twin surfaces. When we were in middle school, I had the BIGGEST crush on him, although people seemed to think I liked Bryan (to which we both laughed at). At lunch, I would always give him my pineapple cup if I got it, and he loved it. When I was moving to Ohio, I brought in presents for people to thank them for all of their friendship and love. For Jason, I brought in a full pineapple. Bryan thought it was great. We got into the car (because mom was driving them home), and I picked up the pineapple and said, "Jason, this is what a real pineapple looks like." He was definitely giddy about that, and I'm glad. Both him and Bryan still mean a lot to me, and I hope to be able to tell new stories about our talks and whatnot.

JC: This woman was a real inspiration to me. At the age of 19, she was working to help families and children. She did a lot of the youth group stuff. I am very sad to say at the age of nineteen, she passed away. This was the first death of a friend I had to deal with, and it was painful. I so wanted her to get online and talk to me about basic social problems like we used to, but an asthma attack took her. She was an amazing person, and is very loved and missed.

Jeff: The moment I finally see him in person, I'm going to mess up his hair and try to find a pool to throw him in. His wife is Angie, which is who I talk to and giggle at Jeff with. He's in a band that plays older rock, like the Beatles and Queen. He sent me out a shirt for a present and I wore it constantly. Now I'm more into fitted t-shirts, so I'm planning to make a pillow out of the shirt. He's like a big brother to me (although, we joke about him being only as tall as me, so perhaps I should be the big sister), and I definitely plan on meeting him, Angie, and his two adorable, sweet little children in the future.

J-Lee: We met through a website called USM, which I will not put the link for because I think it's not a website people with any intelligence would like. We've known each other for a couple of years, though I can't remember how many. I love the photos she takes, especially of her beautiful self.

Jo: This is a woman that I have known for a good seven years, going on eight! We met on USM and grew very attached to one another. We had these silly little family things on USM, so Jo ended up becoming my Ma. When she started dating Diedrich, he became my Papa. Jo went through a lot in her life, from an illness that had doctors saying she would never walk to both of her parents dying. But she is strong. She proved the doctors wrong, and I'm proud of her.

Joe: Joe is quite a character, that's for sure. I met him through Ellie when we went to the Snowball dance as a group. He's the type of person that stays in your head. He has so much energy, and he uses it! He's also bisexual, which had brought up some funny stories from him.

John (Morphix): I can't say exactly what brought on our friendship. We met on USM and added each other on livejournal, but I don't remember why (haha). Either way, I can say it was a good day when we started being friends. Even from the beginning, he has been there to try and help me out. It shocked me at first that this guy I barely even knew cared that I was upset. He has such a good heart, one that is hard to match. His personality is hard to match as well. He's got that fun, quirky type of personality. I like to try and make him smile in pictures for me.

John R.: I met John through an old friend when they were dating. John had already been in my math class, but we had never spoken. I started inviting him to parties with his girlfriend (now ex) and got to know him. Now the old friend is gone and John is here to stay. He's a huge video gamer, which works perfectly because it gave us something initially to talk about. We're always talking to each other about new video games we're playing, and we've even played a few together. I told him I'm going to steal his XBox 360 so I could play Condemned while he played some other game. It hasn't worked yet. :P

Jordan: This psychotic girl I met through Dwanna. All hail the Queen of the Universe, for that's what she is! She might spare you if you do her humble bidding, but beware: humans that go into her castle rarely ever go out!
