Its interesting as I look at this list. Of course, almost everyone on it is now a stranger. A couple might be enemies. None of them is dead, as far as I know (but I have my suspicions about one of them). Almost everyone that I have some vague idea about is either living an average life, or struggling in some manner. I suppose that's to be expected. In fact, I am living both an average life and I'm struggling. So I'm certainly not finger-pointing. Or maybe I am. I don't know. Who cares? Here's the list of everyone I've ever dared to call a "friend".

+Aaron: Some kid I knew when I was little.
+Brian: My best friend from 1st to 7th grade. He decided I wasn't cool enough to be friends with during 7th grade. He was also black.
+Jeff: I was friends with him from 1st to 7th grade. I decided he wasn't cool enough to be friends with during 7th grade. He was very white. Actually, he was way too "geeky" and into computers for me.
+Mike: I knew him in elementary school. Why were we friends? He was just a nice kid, I guess.
+Scott: I was friends with him for exactly one year, during 4th grade. Later he became the only really mean gay guy I ever knew. One time we played one on one football in his front yard, which was covered in snow, and there was dog poop underneath.
+Dan (1): Pretty cool dude. I was friends with him all through school. I have no idea what he does now.
+Geoff: Some kid I was friends with. He moved. Thats all I remember.
+Mark: The only kid I was friends with that lived near me. We looked at porn together. He moved when before I started 4th grade.
+Kelly: Friends in 5th grade. Then I had a crush on her for a few months.
+Tom: Friends on and off during school years, until 11th grade. I think he was schizophrenic. Not sure.
+Matt: Lived a few blocks away. Cool guy. Went on family vacations with us. Now he has kids.
+Joe: Matt's older brother. Smart guy. Now he's a lawyer.
+John (1): My cousin. I've known him since I was a little kid, but he didn't factor much in my life until I was eight or so. We were tight for several years. I was even his best man. Now he owns a gun shop, and I'm pretty sure he thinks I'm gay.
+Steve: I met him in 6th grade. He once drew a picture that I still have somewhere of a guy with his finger in his nose and a caption, "Pick A Winner". In hindsight, I don't think he made that up.
+Nicole: God, I had a mad crush on her in 7th grade. I really ended up humiliating myself though.
+Kim: She was friends with Nicole. I liked her too, but more as a friend, but also as more. Her dad made me stop calling her. Later, I thought that she got her dad to make me stop calling because she didn't like me. Could be?
+Jackie: The hot girl that sat beside me in 8th grade homeroom.
+Holly: Met in 8th grade. Became great friends in 11th grade. Stayed that way for a while. Lost touch with her for a few years. Reconnected, then got in a fight that had to do with me "liking" her, her neglecting me, and something else. Haven't spoken to her since. She's getting married in January.
+Ron: He looked like Steven Segal. He was big and used to defend me in high school.
+Bill: I met him in 8th grade in gym class. We're still friends.
+Julie: Pen-pal from Athol, Mass. We both liked the Beatles. Briefly influenced me with her Morman beliefs.
+Doug: He was a wrestler, and he used to toss me around for practice. Nice guy too.
+Paul: My guitar teacher for a couple years. He taught me how to play guitar like Stephen Stills, and turned me on to a ton of music.
+Xavier: Friend during 11th grade only. He was a desperate kid who really wanted to be popular. Drove me up the wall.
+Amy (1): Had a mad crush on her for a while during 11th grade. She played violin, and she was disturbed. Had a crush on her, and that was the end of that.
+Stef: Amy(1)'s friend. My friend during 11th grade. She was probably bipolar. Hard to get along with.
+Amy (2): She was "my Judy Collins" in 11th grade. Seemed tormented most of the time, but mostly just liked to drink and get high. Now she's fat, or so I hear.
+Brad: We had a few adventures. I thought he was pretty 'out there'. Loved U2. I knew him in 11th and 12th grade.
+Fletcher: We were friends from 11th grade until my sophmore year at college, and then on and off until 1994, during which we were roommates, and he puked in my spaghetti pot, and didn't clean his bedsheets even once the entire time.
+Chris: Friends in senior year of high school, and a little on and off after that. I'm not sure what he does now. Acting, I think... UPDATE: A handy search on Google shows that he's been quite busy. Here's a link: Chris Potocki. He's in an IC Light commercial. My urge to judge is strong, but what do I know? At least he's an ass in the commercial.
+Casondra: Met her in 11th grade through mutual friend Stef. One of my best friends, still in touch even though she lives in SF. I miss her.
+Lauren: Casondra's best friend during school years. I met her in 11th grade. I developed a crush on her that lasted for nearly four years, and pretty much destroyed me because I was basically retarded.
+Robin: One of my various mistakes with girls She was cute and liked me in 12th grade. I didn't do anything because I liked Lauren.
+Lynette: Very sensitive girl, and nice. Same situation as with Robin though.
+Katie: Pretty similar to the previous two. I was a total idiot. I could've had a real 12th grade experience if I had managed to get my head out of my ass.
+Alex(1): He was in my band. I knew him from 12 grade through junior year of high school. He was a religious nut, and I thought he was a total hypocrit. One of the most infuriating people I've ever known.
+Scott(2): One of the nicest guys I ever met. I knew him from 12th grade through 1994. He became very religious and that made it hard to maintain our friendship. He wasn't a hypocrit though. I miss him.
+Pete: One of the first people I met at Tyler. Fairly normal guy with a good sense of humor. Have no idea what he does now.
+Brian(2): Pete's roommate. Strange guy, and very funny. Hard to get to know. I have no idea what he does now. He was a good artist though.
+John (2): Another strange fellow I met early on at Tyler. We were briefly in a band together and it was a disaster.
+Karen: I thought she was my soulmate for awhile. We fought a lot, and I liked her a lot. Too much trouble.
+Josh: Met in freshman year at Tyler. Good friends for a long time after that. He lives in NYC now, and he's dating Beyonce. More info at Joshua Gabriel
+Sean: Josh's freshman roommate. A big football player dude, but he was nice. Kind of slow, but we got along okay. I knew him until I left Tyler.
+Mel: My first actual girlfriend; in other words, she'd also agree that she was my "girlfriend". After we dated for a few months, I wanted to have nothing to do with her. That was kind of shitty. I can't explain it.
+Pam: I'm not even sure we were actually friends. I once suggested to Josh that she had a penis.
+Rick: He was in my band for a while. He had a lot of sex with girls in college. He was pretty okay though. Lives in SF, I think.
+Judy: Rick's girlfriend for many years. Nice girl. Have no idea what she does now.
+Candace (1): A young girl I had a crush on for a couple years. She was waitress where I worked. I'm not sure we were really friends, actually.
+Gretchen: Very strange and attractive girl I knew in my sophomore year of college. She once said "I have to take go take a shit". Had sex with Pete (mentioned above). Her ex-boyfriend shaved her cat to get revenge.
+Candace (2): Very hot girl I was friends with in sophomore year of college. Described herself as a lush. We saw Paul Simon at the Spectrum.
+Io: We dated at the end of sophomore year of college. Confusion ensued. Lost touch with her in 1995.
+Alex (2): Worked as dishwasher/prep cook at the restaurant. Later married my sister.
+Christine: Nice girl I met in Ohio. Only knew her for a year.
+Amanda (1): Artsy girl I was friends with in Ohio for a semester. I liked her, she didn't like me. Yeah.
+Amanda (2): Mentally ill girl I dated for nine months. She had borderline personality.
+Emma: Met her in 1993. Now she lives in Louisiana. We were roommates for a spell back in 1994. We're still in touch, but not as much as we used to be. Mostly though email these days.
+Corie: She's on my list, but I'll bet she doesn't even remember me. We were friends for a few months in 1994. She liked Fletcher, and apparently didn't mind his hygiene issues.
+Amy (3): Josh's girlfriend from 1994-96. We were briefly friends.
+Dan (2): He was in another band of mine. Played the guitar. His blog is at: Drunken Ravings Of A Lonely Man.
+Kate: She tried out for our band, and we were friends for awhile. She wouldn't date me though. I completely forgot about her until Dan read this list and reminded me.
+Maria: Kate's roommate. We went out a whole bunch of times but I screwed it up with her by getting involved with Ann (see below). I think I so thoroughly humiliated myself that Maria lost all respect for me.
+Ann: Girl from Chicago that I "dated" long distance. It was a total fiasco, and she was completely insane.
+Tina: Girl I worked with. She was sort of like a 'big sister' to me until I hit on her.
+Janet: My boss where I worked in 1995-97. We were sort of friends after I quit and until I moved in August 1999.
+Laurie: We met at work. She was pretty cool. Married though. I lost touch with after I moved in August 1999.
+Evan: Evan and I tried to start a band. It didn't work because I was still too much into rap. He sells his cd's here: Stuart Maybe.
+Kristina: I was friends with her in 1998. She talked about herself constantly and didn't even know what I did for a living.
+Dan (3): I met him where I wa working in 1998-99. We stayed in touch via email after I moved, but I think he eventually got pissed off with my various criticisms and negativity.
+Al (ACB): I met Al in 1999 through the Crosby, Stills & Nash list group. We trade music back and forth. I've only met him once, but we email regularly.
+Cheryl: I met her at my job after I moved. She was one of the few people that talked to me. She recently helped me get my new job.
+Monica: One of the hottest chicks I've ever known! I met her in 2000. She was a good eight years younger than me and also a lesbian. In the spring of that year, her girlfriend started to beat the shit out of her, so she moved to her home in Boston. I didn't try to stay in touch.
+Heather: A girl I dated for a couple months in both 2000 and 2001. She was nice, but very "high maintenance". One of the few people I ever yelled at (the others being Ann, Karen, and my sister).
+Diana: Met her at Stadtlanders/CVS. She was funny. Haven't heard from her in awhile.
+Sherri: Met her at Stadtlanders/CVS. She has been like a big sister. Haven't seen her in a while. Sometimes I wonder why I haven't heard from people in a long time, and then I remember that I have this online blog/journal thingy.
+Leah: One of the coolest people ever. She has twins.
+Jackie (2): I met her in 2001. She was a recruiter and we sort of became friends.
+Natalia: She sat beside me at MSA, and explained that "Ukraine" wasn't "the Ukraine". All those Olympics announcers had it wrong.
+Scott (3): The lead DBA at MSA. We had lunch at Wendy's almost everyday in 2002.
+Bryan: Another DBA at MSA. I seriously envy a couple aspects of his life.
+Sarah: A girl I dated in 2002 for a few months. She was a waitress and always smelled like a greasy kitchen. Her father was a minister. What was I thinking?!
+Amy (4): I should've given up on Amy's by now. At any rate, we were friends in 2002 and 2003, but now we're not. Its just as well.
+Vanaja: Everyone calls her Vana. At least the white people do. She was the first person to talk to me at Highmark.
+Lauren (2): We actually knew each other in high school but became reaquainted in 2002. We weren't friends in high school. Then we dated in 2003, and it turned to shit. There was a reason we weren't friends in high school after all.
+Tracey: I met her at Highmark. She only worked there a couple months. I don't know what she's doing now, but it worries me.
+Sirisha: Really cool girl I met at Highmark. Funny as hell too.
+Lori: She took Tracey's job. We have lunch almost everyday. Hey, you never comments!
+Rebecca: We met in June 2003. And now she's my best friend and everything else. She's currently pregnant, and I'm the "father".
