Luise, the love of my life, my inspiration and my soul. And me. And Santa. Played by Andrew Reid. Actually...now there is no Andrew. He WAS in the middle, but Lu deleted him using a photo editor. Cool, eh? We're at the SJK Christmas dance, and she was supposed to be at jazz class, but skipped JUST to be able to come to the dance. I was speechless. Really. Im not lying. I honestly had nothing to say. But the point is, she's Luise, and I love her.

This is my life-long friend Taryn. We've known each other for longer then Ive been able to say "Go Leafs Go", and thats a long time. This shot is at my cottage, on the deck. It was this year that at the cottage, after defending her to the nth degree from being pushed off the raft...that she betrayed me, by pushing me off. (I know...REAL big problem) But I got her back when her sisters stole her swimsuit top, and I got ahold of it and danced about, waving it over my head yelling "JUDAS!" at the top of my lungs. Good ol' Ter-Bear

This is my English teacher, Mr. Hoad. He is probably one of the three smartest men on the planet. The other two have pictures elsewhere on the sight. He's the one in the bandit mask, his son has the banana gun to his head. DONT SHOOT! (My, that last comment was useless)

This is Steve A. In this picture, it looks like he's puffing the magic dragon, but he's not really. Look closely. Its a stick. Steve told me to be sure I put the disclaimer that "He doesnt smoke any kind of narcotic, illegal or otherwise, and certainly doesnt endorse it. Steve's a good guy, fairly athletic, a great wrestler and an all-around nice kid. MOUSE-MAN FOREVER

Two of my wrestling buddies, Nathan and Steve. Right before this picture, Nathan had strategically placed Steve under three bus seats, and as Steve tried to crawl out one end, Nathan tried to break his legs at the other. Fun on the way home from New York!

My good friends, Kathryn and Phil. Phil is from Germany. Kathryn is from Erin. I set them up. Yay me. They've now been together for more than a year. I also spent last Christmas break (starting Boxing Day) in Germany, with Kathryn staying at Phil's house.

Another of those German exchange students. This one is Chris Holme (called Holmes). We did a bunch together in his year...hockey game, snowboarding, sleepover, figured out Howard. I miss the guy. Happy 18th Buddy! Also...note the hockey sticks over the door. Canadian at heart, eh?

My friend from IMS2000 who ended up being the best of them all. She is classy, charming, drop-dead gorgeous, strikingly intelligent and head girl at Elmwood. Her friend is the head girl from last year (on the left) and shes the better looking one (on the right) Dor and I have together eaten at Gretzky's, touched the Stanley Cup, dissected fish, talked endlessly about relationships etc (including *blush* specific parts that I shouldnt mention). Ill love her forever, as a true friend.
