Girl Friends

Before you begin to follow my journey through life it is essential to know the people who are apart of my day to day life!

LAUREN OLIVER

Here we go! The first person in my day to day life is my best friend for the past two years.

LAUREN OLIVER (Leo)

I met Lauren in a sort of awkward way. I was actually in lovvveeeee with her older brother James who I will introduce later on. She is two years younger than me. Lauren would come buy me donuts when I worked at the grocery store (Daniel's Sentry Foods) and gossip with me about whatever drama was going on in her middle school world. Within the blink of an eye we became inseparable. Our relationship is a bit hard to understand though. We love each other like an older sister and younger sister do so we often have petty arguments but always tell each other exactly how it is.  The next person is my favorite red head in the entire world!

MIKAYLA GRINNELL

  MIKAYLA GRINNELL (Mik)     

I met Mikayla in a history class sophomore year. She was always laughing hysterically in the back most of the time by herself. She is one of the funniest girls I have ever met. She has the gift of quick witty humor and really thats all you ever need in a best friend. She lives in Sharon, Wisconsin which is basically in the middle of nowhere. I don't get cell phone service out there thats how "middle of nowhere" it actually is. She raises steers which are boy cows that cannot mate with girl cows. Mikayla tries to teach me as much as she can about the "farm life" but I usually just end up trying to ride her steers which ultimately leads to rejection and feelings of self doubt on my part. She also "cruises the strip" in Janesville, Wisconsin. Cruising the strip is an activity that most farm kids do on Friday and Saturday nights. Essentially it is a bunch of hicks racing each other in a circle in the middle of a city (Janesville for example). She has been one of my main sources of happiness in my dark days for the past three years. She also babysits my crazy siblings so sometimes I walk downstairs in the morning (2:00 p.m.) and there she is.

Michelle Murphey (Shelly)

I met Shelly through her boyfriend (Wiscomac) and if you're unaware of who Wiscomac is you will soon find out. His real name is Mitch Cornue and his father owns a dairy farm with lots and lots of cows. Mitch and I sat next to each other in study hall freshman year and instantly became friends by being distracting and hilarious. Mitch started dating Michelle after he met her at the fair and of course she hated me because I was a fabulous little girl in Mitch's life but she learned to love me and now she the first person I call when I need to talk to someone because she is an equally insane and funny lady like me. She has red hair so I call her ginger because she lacks a soul at all times.
