Fashionable Friends

In the past year and a half I have been enjoying attending the Art Institute of Phoenix. I have met some pretty interesting and very memorable people. Most of the people who attend art schools are very ecclectic. I often say that they run things COMPLETELY different from a traditional university because of those ecclectic personalities... you can't have semesters when most of your students have ADD and ADHD :) I have had quite a few classmates come in from break hung over. Needlesstosay not your typical educational institution. But I couldn't make it in a traditional university setting (I tried and didn't even last a semester, I got too bored) We might not have a school nurse, I just learned that, we might not have sports teams, can you imagine gamers wearing ears, tails and helmets? But what we do have is some amazing people.

Let me just tell you about the ones I love and hold close to my heart :)

First off there is Christine (Weinie). She and I started the same quarter, and she is my second favorite Cali girl.. a close second after my mum of course. In the year and a half we have spend together, we have had so many classes together, we went to Chicago together, and I accompanied her to her playboy casting call. Weinie is a stunning woman with the heart of gold, which she wears on her sleeve. And the things that come out of her mouth.....

Next we have Arionne and Chloe (Minnet-but you can't call her that unless you've seen Minnet in action). I put these two lovely ladies together because I think they balance each other and have taught me so much. They are both strong, beautiful women who doen't put up with anything they don't have to. They are my rocks, I know I will always get the truth from them, but I also know they are there for support, not to tear people down. I have had several late night chats with both of them. I was a little scared of Chloe, or should I say Minnet, but we went to Chicago together and she stole a piece of my heart :) I love these two women!

Next we have Nineveh, oh Nin :) She is a wild one, but she is also wonderful! My friendship with Nin is still newish, but I love this Gaga lover! She is very bold, in your face and faboulous! Our little Assyrian is beautiful, crazy, and loves to have a good time. But beware when going to Subway, chick can eat a footlong so fast :)

Then there is Glora (or Loopy, or Loops). Glora and I have become pretty good friends, since we have had 9 of the last 10 classes together. We really balance each other, she is a fiesty one who really doesn't put up with ANYTHING, but she really has a great heart and loves her friends and her family.

Then there is Terressa, or Therressssssa. I love this girl! She is so fun, and she gets so excited over everything. But she isn't a pushover at all, she just loves her friends. She is one of the hardest workers I have met at school. No only did she attend school full time, but she also worked full time and had an internship, very commendable. She is beautiful and so much fun to be around.

And last but definately not least I have my "boyfriend" Russel. He is wonderful!! One of the best people I have met in a long time, and definately my favorite gay man! I can't even put into words what I feel about this kid, I'm just glad to have him in my life :)

I am so grateful to these wonderful people, they make my days SO much better! I love you guys!!!
