My friends and family are the most important part of my life, so first I'll "introduce" you to them.
Mom:

Her favorite things are: Gardening, Nursing, her dog Ginger, spending time with her grandchildren, and nagging (haha, jk...but seriously). She's very intelligent, and has received several awards from her nursing, and her scholastic achievements. We don't get along that well (...at all). Her and my dad are divorced.
Dad:

He's an ER doctor that lives in Texas. He's in the National Guard (Reserves) and has done two tours to Iraq, and is currently deployed...to Alabama. Idk, it's weird. He's lame and funny, and we get along extremely well. We understand each other. I know when he's upset, without him telling me, and vice versa. He used to be the San Bernardino county sheriff. The picture of him is his very first time playing Guitar Hero in my room. He was so horrible! Every time he would miss a note, he'd laugh and say "HEY! I got that one! WHAT?" and would mess up more. Despite the fact that he sucked at G.H, he really likes playing PC games, mostly first person shooter games. He loves them actually
stare It's hard to buy games for him, though, because he pretty much has every single one.
Michelle:

This is my step-mom. She's also an ER doctor with my dad (which is actually how they met). She has no kids, and didn't ever want them until recently. My dad doesn't want any more kids, so he broke down and let her get not one, but two yorkies. They are quite possibly the most spoiled annoying dogs in the world, but Michelle is crazy about them. I'm pretty sure if they died, she would kill herself. She is crazy and kooky, but has amazing taste, and I love shopping with her. She used to be a clothing buyer and also has a degree in fashion merchandising. We are actually really close, and I can pretty much tell her anything, which is nice because I can't do the same thing with my actual mom. The dog she is holding is her first dog, and her favorite--Harley. The other one's name is Coco.
Don:

This is my mom's husband. He likes to remodel our house, and is a carpenter. He is very strict and is constantly irritated. He's a jerk whenever he's annoyed or mad, which is frequently. Whenever he is working on a project around the house, and he thinks he's not working fast enough, he takes out his frustrations on either my sister or I, but mostly me. He does have good points, though. He can be pretty funny when he's not irritated, and he has made our house look awesome. We don't really get along though, as his constant mood swings make things tense. Also, he thinks that my sister and I are "too wild", which I find mildly ironic for reasons I wont get into right now.
Sarah:

This is my beautiful little sister. She's going through this "I hate everything in the ******** my life" stage. Sometimes she is SO nice and sweet and like the sister I remember, and then in a blink of an eye can be a huge b***h. She swears a lot now (which is annoying) and is pretty selfish. She doesn't like to share anything with anyone. She isn't funny very often, but when she is, she is HILARIOUS. She likes to sing weird songs that she randomly makes up. Generally we don't look that much alike, but at times (like in the picture) you can definitely tell we're sisters. I'm really big on photography, and she generally puts up with my obsession.
3nodding Andy & Leia:

This my oldest stepbrother, Andrew, and his wife Leia. I used to know them a lot more than I do no, but now that him and Leia are officially married, we see them a lot less. He's pretty funny, although sometimes my family doesn't really like Leia as she can be kind of...unfriendly. She's not the warmest person and sometimes she gets offended over stupid things. GENERALLY though, she's a really nice person. It's just sometimes.
Melia (may-lee-uh) and Makala (Muh-kay-la):

These are my two oldest nieces. They aren't actually Andy's kids, they are Leia's from other guys, but Andy is pretty much like their father. They are both really sweet, and love High School Musical. We don't see them very often, but they both love to swim.
Kalena (Kay-leen-uh):

This is Andy's actual daughter. She is also really sweet. My mom is constantly saying how she looked just like I did when I was her age (although yes, I realize that she's not technically related to me
whee She likes to go "TADAAAA!" when the camera comes out. She doesn't really know me that well, and only really likes to be held by me when there isn't anyone else around.
Matthew:

This is my stepbrother. He lives two streets behind us. He has kind of a rocky past. He has some issues, and refuses to get help. However, he is a really nice, sweet guy despite his (MANY) problems. He's a manager at a mechanics shop, which I love because whenever I have car problems, he's more than willing to help!
biggrin Kristin:

Kristin has been one of my best friends since I was in fifth grade, and she was in fourth. She just turned 18, graduated when she was 16. She is my stepbrother's girlfriend, and they have a baby together. I can always call her up to talk to her, and whenever I need a friend, she is always there for me. I love her so much!
heart Ethen:

This is my nephew, and I love this kid more than ANYTHING IN THE WORLD. When I was depressed beyond all belief, he was one of the only thing that kept me alive. He was born on January 17, 2008. Although he wasn't expected, and it took me awhile for me to adjust, I wouldn't trade him for anything in the world. He's so smiley and happy, and loves kisses. I'd do anything for him.
Saryn:

:
This is. My VERY. Best friend in the entire world. Without her, I am pretty sure I wouldn't be alive right now, and I mean that very literally. She knows me better than anyone in the entire world, and oftentimes knows exactly what I'm thinking/going to say/feeling before I tell her, even when I'm trying my best to hide it. I can't think of anyone else I'd rather have as a friend--we do such crazy, odd, weird things together. We're both huge dorks, but we understand each other. I love herrrr!
biggrin Percy:

This is my cat! I love him like MAD. I got him for my 16th birthday. I found him online (through an animal shelter). There was one elderly couple that wanted him, but the foster mom told them that a "little girl" wanted him, and they gave him to me.
biggrin I can't describe to you how awesome this cat is. He's so weird. He used to follow me around everywhere I went. He hates cuddling, though he likes to be held upside down (by me only) Every morning he wakes me up by pouncing on me and meowing until I get up. He's on of my best friends, which is silly...but still.
Dr. Mischievous (AKA: Mischief):

I pretty much hate his name. In fact, when I say it, a little piece of my soul dies. This is my sister's cat. He's actually kind of odd, and at times I think he believes that he is a dog. He licks people like a dog (on the face..randomly). When he sleeps with you, he has to be right on top of you--he loves cuddling. He thinks it's funny to randomly attack Percy.
Ginger:

My mom's dog. Even though I didn't want to get a chihuahua at first, she is the SWEETEST little dog most of the time. She does yap a ton, which is annoying. She spends most of the time on the back of my other dog, Jake.
Jake:

Literally the best dog ever. We got him shortly after we moved to Michigan. He's really old, and apparently (as I just found out) he is "on his last leg"--(thanks, Vet, for putting it like that!
stare ) Jake loves everyone, and everyone who meets him loves him also. He's huge, and full of energy, but is so sweet. Our neighbor has two little boys, and once, when they were in my yard, Jake charged them. I freaked out, and ran after him, but as soon as he reached the boys, he stopped and let him them pet him. When he dies, I'm going to be devastated.
Starburst:

This is my bird. I used to have two other birds (Sunbeam & Poppit), but they died. This bird might possibly be the most evil bird in the history of the world. In fact, at times I think that Starburst might have actually killed off the other two birds in a murderous rage. The only person she seems to like is my mom, who calls her "Pretty Birdy" constantly. Therefore, I just decided to give my mom the bird, and everyone seems happier for it.
Harley (right) & Coco (left):

They're actually my step-mom's dogs. She's pretty much obsessed with them, and they are more spoiled than any other living organism you will ever see. They can be sweet dogs, but most of the time, if you want them to do something, and they don't want to do it, or you do something they don't like, they'll just bite/growl/be evil towards you.
