This isn't showing off how many friends I have, this is a shout out to all of them. Sadly, I seem to be cutting this down more and more since I've moved away.
BEST FRIENDSDAVID!
Name: David Ruddick
Nicknames: Daffyd, Brenda, Old Man, whatever else lmao
Age: 20
Date of birth: 30th November 1988
Hahahahahaha. David is nuts. There's no other way of putting it. He's my best friend in the world, I can trust him with anything, and he constantly makes me laugh. He's completely random, shit at pool and most games (but absolutely hilarious!), and one of the main things I miss about Orkney. But I speak to him all the time, and apart from Toady, he probably knows more about me than anyone does... along with Kevin, perhaps. We're both worryingly addicted to tea, and we love to dance to Queen - Don't Stop Me Now (either that or sing it drunkenly at karaoke nights!!) and the YMCA, as well as rock out to Muse - Knights Of Cydonia. Oh, he also thinks a "nice cup of hot cocoa" is better than sex...
KEVIN!
Name: Kevin Johnston
Nicknames: Kaziko, Kazi :-p
Age: 21
Date of birth: 19th December 1987
Seriously. We have nothing in common, apart from we both have a passion for music (albeit completely different types), we have the same phobias and like the same TV shows, even though neither of us are really interested in TV.
Yet I can honestly say he's one of the best friends I could ask for. I can speak to him about anything, we're always there for each other and have been for a long time. We've both looked past our old rough patches and now we're closer than ever. He's hilarious, he's a bit of a geek, and I feel lucky to have a friend like him. Sadly, we live far, far apart now, and only really speak occasionally, but every single time we meet up, it's like we only saw each other yesterday.
ORKNEY FRIENDSAlistair
- ALISTAIR IS AN EVIL PROFESSOR! Hahahaah, he is amazing. He's so funny, but at the same time, really weird. He's obsessed with trains and he's a right ol' geek. He's great, though. (even if he does like eating poppet boxes)
Sophie
- Sophie was my best friend for a couple of years before we started drifting apart. It's very sad, but we still love hanging out. She's pretty nuts, but her personality has changed a lot and we just don't click as much as we used to. But because of our past friendship, I don't think we could ever really let each other go. :-)
Becca
- Becca's... what's the word? I really can't think of an adequate one. She's very outspoken, but that doesn't stop me lovin' her. :-p She was my best friend for three years at school, we lived together for almost a year and we generally get on really well.
Steven
- Becca's fiance, he's great. It was a lot of fun living with him (except the time he came home at 2am drunk out of his skull and occupied the toilet for about three hours!) and I miss him a lot. He was a really good friend, always there to talk to if I needed someone. :-)
Sarah
- I would say Sarah has become one of my best friends. I've known her longer than I've known most people, and she's just lovely.
Eden
- Eden is one of Sarah's best friends. She's also lovely. She used to be really shy, but she's a bit like Donna F - quiet but not actually shy.
Natalie
- Natalie's lovely, a bit quiet, especially around people she doesn't know, but once you're friends with her, she's quite mental. Especially if you get her drunk!!!
Charlotte
- I can trust Charlotte with anything, she's so nice, she's always there for me, and she doesn't have a bad word about anyone really. <3
Kevin
- Kevin's a bit strange lol, I could trust him a lot though. He's pretty sensible, and really mature at the same time as being really... immature lol.
Ann
- She's rather quiet. I don't know what else to say about her really, she's a bit bizzare... for want of a better word. :-p Scarily, I've known her longer than I've known almost anyone.
Harry
- Harry's cool. A bit of a geek, perhaps, but he likes good music, he's fun and he's someone I could rely on for a lot of things.
Laura
- Laura's a complete book addict. She's really nice, and she's probably not how some people expect her to be. She's a lot cooler than that. :-D
Lorna
- Lorna's cool, she reminds me of myself in some ways, which is probably why we were best friends at one point. We became closer again when we went to college together, but she lives in Edinburgh now.
Ren
- I MISS HER! I haven't spoken to her for ages, but I can rely on her for anything, she's amazing.
Jess
- She's mental, REALLY nice though. She's David's sister so I see her probably more than I normally would, but still less than I'd like to, actually!
Donna F
- I always used to think Donna was really shy, and although she's quiet, she's not that shy. I think we've become closer than we were at school, it's really fun hanging out with her.
Owen
- I still talk to Owen now and then. He hosts this site, he's a total computer geek, and he's really, really nice and trustworthy.
UCKFIELD FRIENDSHarry
Harry's the biggest geek evaaahh! He never stops playing video games, but he's really funny and we clicked straight away! I really don't see him enough, though.
James
Why the fuck don't we meet up more often?! We have a good laugh driving around, getting lost... hah!
Chris
Again, why don't we meet up, like, ever?! We get on really well, we need to go rock climbing one of these days! ;-)
Tim
Tim is my boss and for reasons I'm not going to go into, I probably shouldn't be listing him as a friend. But the truth is, he's probably one of my closest friends right now, I can pretty much talk to him about anything.
James
Different James! He's one of Toady's best friends and he's one of the best guitarists I've heard! He's brilliant fun to hang out with.
