The crazy folks that call me a friend...

Friends - another big part of me... even a bigger part than my family at times when I am living away from home. I will never forget how lucky I am to have met these people, the same people that have spoiled me over the years. Oh, I mean, they have made me a better person. ;) I don't think I will ever have enough time or space to write a complete page about all these crazy people who would claim me their friend... the list is simply too long... but here's a start. :)

Anthony Cuda - Uncle Tony, my former paramedic instructor, a good friend and mentor, just don't tell him I said so. :)

Terence Chau - a fellow stuy alumnae I met working in the CMU Computing Help Center who has become a brother to me.

Sophia Chiu - my good friend who did many experiments with white rats at Harvard... now studying philosophy in London

Thomas Crimi - you have to be a cool guy when you could convince all you friends to call you Inf... but he's cool to me because this friend has a strange way of keeping me sane :P

Ryan de Jonckheere - "the amazing Ryan" - my best buddy who will show up at my door any time I call :) It's a shame he no longer has his yellow Mustang... so I can't call him my designated cab driver anymore :P

Anthony Diaz - good friend since 7th grade who periodially drops in my life only every once in a while... though his place in my heart is permanent.

Ashley Gross - my current roommate and a great friend who knows me better than I at times. My description of her will always be: "Ashley is exactly like me... except completely different" :)

Dan Hannum - an AphiO brother who will always be Magic Dan to me. Why? because he's just magical... especially when he looks all confused which is quiet often ;) What's more magical is his ability to make me laugh and his good heart in helping others.

Bill Jerome - a die hard Moody Blue fan with a set of awesome speakers and a huge ass TV... also known as the best listener in Michelle's world.

Ed Kearns - well... it's "the awesome Ed", what more can I say? :)

Phil Kerpen - his passion in debate is unrivaled by anyone I have met. He is also a big fan of the New York Mets who always has an enthusiastic and honest opinion to share with others... about everything and anything. :)

Michael Lewis - a future doctor who has always looked out for me. His motivation has inspired me to face all uncertainties with a positive attitude and compassion.

Aaron Powers- a very brotherly brother of mine whose biggest interests in life are java and volunteer work.

Christina Simone - A beautiful girl with an intriguing personality whom I only have the chance to talk to every now and then. Our conversations, however, have always been special and meaningful to me.

Amy Smith - the one who calls herself the abominable conversationalist who is a much more beautiful person than she realizes.

Martin and Kindra Smith - A very adoring couple whom I am fortunate to get to know. Martin is always enthusiastic in helping others and Kindra is always nice to everyone she meets.

Donald Stahl - the owner of www.blacksun.org, countless computers, a kickass music and movie collection... and most importantly, the biggest ears for all my joys and woes :)

Dennis Stahl - always a big kid at heart regardless of his actual age... a bright star of optimism in my world.

Ben Stolt - the ever silly friend who makes me laugh at every little silly thing, including my own silliness. :P More importantly, he brings out the best and worst of me with tremendous patience and care.

Stephanie Tan - My best friend from junior high school... she must be a great person if she can put up with me for so long, heck! even I get tired of me sometimes.

Edgar Troudt - friend since high school who has a much bigger heart than most people give him credit for. :)

Eric van Inwegen - my good friend with a whacky sense of humor whose joy with simple things is always a motivation to me. Hi Eric Glen :)

Rich Yarnell - a special guy who always treats those around him with patience and modesty. I don't understand how he does it, but I thank this friend who often makes me feel at peace during my silly moments of worry.

Yes, I have probably left out many others on this list... if you are or know any of them, please get in touch with me and tell me how much of a Blockhead I am. :)
