Jo is a long-time friend of Vantle's, and also my own. Crazy like a fox and not afraid to show it, she's a newbie to Auckland and busy sampling the many delights the city has to offer. She's also the proud owner of a one-of-a-kind outfit that cost her almost a pretty thousand dollars. But not quite. Fitting apparel for a one-of-a-kind girl.
	Davo is my best mate, having seen me through the horrific hair years of 1991-93, my football card obsession, my Sami Wilke obsession, and more. After a reprieve of several years during his extremely mature foray into marriage, Davo and I hooked up again and remain as close as ever, with conversations often consisting completely of the word "fuck". Because that's the kind of people we are.
	Steve Poo Chops is a wild wild crazy man. Filled with manic stories that no sane person could match, he's a delight to know, if only for his encounters with the Crazy Old Lady™. He can be found both on LiveJournal and elsewhere in cyberspace. And he designed my homepage art! And he hates Corbis with good reason! When I was younger I went to a rave with friends. I met a girl called Angela and after an hour we began a relationship, my third. Within ten minutes we had broken up, for the entire time she thought my name was Simon.
	Alexis and I met in 1994 and became the instant rebels of the Christian Camp we were being kept at. With Stuey and Marco in tow, we caused no end of havoc, and invented a number of stupid songs. Alexis now works as a bar manager in town, drinks aplenty but hates my smoking. He's seen here with part of his girlfriend Rasha's head.
	Alan and I have been mates since we were kids. Rumours of romance began in 1992 when he used to make me fall of my chair laughing, during class. Later he evolved to be my ball date, 'Pointless Alan', my best friend's brief boyfriend, a great friend and a bundle of pointless fun. Now married to Briony, he has a son Ethan, and a life less ordinary in Wellsford.
	Glen is significant, if only for being the First Ever Person I Met Off The Internet. Isn't that grand? Luckily he didn't turn out to be too weird, and later followed my footsteps into LiveJournal, where he continues to keep me amused on a semi-regular basis. Go Glen!
	Becks is one of my greatest, and oldest, friends. We met and our parents tried to force us into friendship as five-year-olds... but alas, went to different primary schools and didn't get close until our high school years. We stuck together through our notorious 1998 and even fought over a boy at one point in time. Becks is great, and heaps of fun, and pictured with half of baby Jay.
	Rachel is an old Welly school friend who was a major hang-out buddy in '97. We got together with our respective boyfriends (who were also best friends) at the same time - the difference being, she married hers. Now happily settled with Brent and baby Reagan, Rachel looks forward to going back to uni for some much-needed adult company, and re-entering the workforce with a vengeance.
