This page will be about my friends. People most dear to me. But if you don't want to read about them, then feel free to return to my main page. With that done, enjoy my friends. (Not like that you sicko).
First my gay parents, Bryon and Brian. They are my gay role models, never afraid to stick up for what's right and to defend the future of the community.
Brian was on the executive of the non-heterosexual group on campus for three years and was the gay community's Man of The Year Award recipient in 1995. He was given this for outstanding work in the gay community and being a great representative to the community at large.
Bryon is Irene Sour an Empirial Grand Duchess II Perpetual of the former Empirial Court of The Prairie Lily in Saskatoon. Our court is no longer active but Bryon is still very much so. He's done AIDS activist work, as has Brian, and a lot of work supporting those who are infected and affected by this terrible disease at Saskatoon's PLWA (Persons Living With Aids) Network. They have both been working with disability issues in the last litle while trying to start an roganisation for those suffering from physical disabilities (I think that's what is it). They are two of my all time heroes and never step down from a fight to protect people from destructive forces in our community. They Rock!
Bryon and Brian have often been accused of being *&%$ disturbers. Some have called them trouble makers for asking questions like: "Why did Gay and Lesbian Health Services of Saskatoon lose its non-profit status in 1996 for failing to submit financial accountability for two years?" To these I say, why aren't you asking these questions? I have, although it hasn't seemed to help much.
You can find out more about them at Bryon and Brian's Nethideaway listed in my links on my links page.

 | My friend Greg is a good friend. He moved to Calgary recently, after moving back to Saskatchewan for a bit; moving back to this province from Edmonton for a short while mainly because it turned out that the guy he was seeing (and this is hearsay) was a big whore... but I wasn't there so I can't say for sure. Not back to Saskatoon just to Saskatchewan. I was hoping that he would stay here for a little bit but that's okay I guess. I did get to see him a few times. As always it was very fun to see him when I could. I guess now I have someone else to visit in Calgary the next time I get there.
Greg is one of my best friends and I miss him, hopefully Calgary will think that he rocks as much as I do. |
My friend Fiona Var Tapestry is very cool. She's great to spend time with and is almost like a little sister. Now that I'm not at home I need someone to be my little sister. So since I see her more than my real sister, well there you have it. She's fabulous.
Fiona is also a student at the U of S and we hang out there a lot. She's sweet and always calls me "Boy." I'm not sure how that started, but its becoming quite a habit amongst those whom I spend the most time with. Its nice to be practically 24 and get called "Boy". I haven't had too many nick names in my life so I thank Fiona for bringing that into my life. Fiona is shy and therefore has asked that I not put up a photo of her. I'd probably get too much email about how gorgeous she is anyways. She Rocks! She is currently in Winnipeg studying interior desing. I miss her a bunch but I'm glad that she's persuing a dream. Besides when she's done she can design my house.

 | This is my friend Jay Gallant from Waterloo. He's a great guy! We met in 1998 just before Christmas and had a short, but intense, romance. I really missed him when he left and I sometimes think it would be cool to see him. Although I don't get to Toronto very often. I'm still waiting to see him perform, he has a great voice and he can dance too I've never gotten to see him act in any plays yet, but I'm sure he's a natural. Jason rocks! |

 This furry fella is my friend Jason Boyko. He prefers to have his animated pic (drawn by his friend Ian R Soulfox) up as opposed to his real life pic. Jason is a pretty cool guy. He's good on a computer and great at mixing music. I get together with him, the younger of the two Brians, as well as our mutual friends Carrie-Lynn, Mark and Kyle every week for D&D (yes I play D&D and I LOVE it), Jason DM's. It's a lot of fun. Jason has his days of course, where he's a "surly bastard" to quote him, but he's also a lot of fun to hang with. He's got a great sense of humour and is very well informed about a lot of cool stuff, mostly computers but that's cool so Jason rocks!
Don't forget to check out Jason's very well designed website, you can get there from my links page. He's got music that he's made on there which is really good. He had an album that not enough people heard about so it didn't go but you really must check out his music, the stuff on his site is cool and he's got more so beg him for the rest. And hey there guys, he's single so get to know him. You might have a lot in common. Email him and get to know him, you might want to ask him about his album I'm afraid I've not been to helpful on the locating it thing. His music is really good so you'll want to hear it. |
| Carrie-Lynn, is someone whom I do not yet have a photo of, but someone who is a very dear friend. She is a very sensitve and caring friend who is always there for you and asks only that you be there for her in return, which isn't as hard as she thinks it is. She's had some rough times latetly and I hope each day that that day has been an easier one for her than the day before. She has come through some very hard times and continues to amaze me with her strength in hard times. She is a very powerful person who cares very much for others and the world in which we live. I have known her for several years and I know that I will always consider her a good friend. She recently got internet so hopefully she will send me a photo sometime soon. Although, ladies, I don't want to be bombarded with emails asking for her phone number. I don't give out other peoples' phone numbers, as I expect the same from them. Carry rocks more than she will ever know. |
| My friend Mark Stanley is someone whom I should have added to this page years ago, much like many others whom I may be forgetting. He and I attended highschool together and he and I have gone through some pretty trying times with eachother to talk to and to gain support from. I have a lot of fun bugging Mark, he is very much to me like a brother. He's not the only one, but I tend to let my pestering side out on him, since my brother is so often in his own city and not around to bug. Mark and I share a deep bond through Star Trek, I don't care if you think it's geeky, there are some times when I will crack a joke about Star Trek that I think I will be the only one to get it and there will be Mark chuckling away and roling his eyes. I have always loved that about Mark. Some day he's gonna make some Star Trek fan who is not like a brother to him very happy. Mark is also, on top of being a Trekker, also a very talented author, he writes very cool sci-fi stories, which can be found on his website listed on my links page. He is fun to hang out with, and defintely one of the smartest people I know. Well of course he's smart, he's my friend and he likes Star Trek. For these and other reasons Mark totally rocks!. |
My best friend in the world is Jenn. She's been my friend and a mentor since I started university. She was one of my orientation leaders and the President of the Arts and Science Students' Union on the U of S campus. She is a strong person who will say what she believes and work very hard to attain any goal she sets her mind to. She has been my guide to life on campus and took this naive little fag under her wing to teach him how to survive university. She started as a tour guide and has ended up one of the people that I, gladly, spend most of my free time with.
This is Des she's Jenn's ex-girl-friend and now a friend of mine. They broke up after a year and 10 months or so but they're still friends, being mature and all. Des is really cool and lots of fun. She and I liked to pick on Jenn together, it was our way of showing that we both care about her enough to annoy the hell out of her. Of course this was also a bonding thing too; couldn't not be friends with Jenn's girlfriend. Especially one as cool as Des. Me, Jenn, Des, and Fiona all went camping this summer it was a blast and Des was loads of fun to hang out with. Other than that though we really haven't gotten to hang out much lately but we went for coffee once and it was a lot of fun. Des Rocks!
My friend Jordan is a really sweet and insightful fellow. His years do not outwardly show his intellegence and wisdom. He's starting "out" on the right foot and I hope that we'll be friends for a good long time. He always seems to know the right thing to say in order to make me feel happy about myself and he always knows the best way to resolve the stressful situations in my life. He's only been in my life for a short while but there's something about him that reminds me of me. Maybe its that he's really good looking, but I really think its his kind and thoughtful nature. He's lots of fun and has a great 
This is my friend Jason Davis from Portland, Oregon (I hope that I spelled that properly). I've known him for about 5 month now but it feels like I'vew known him forever. 
He's an artist and a poet, and a really good conversationalist...although I don't think he knows it. He just started his own 
This is my ex-boyfriend, Jason. He lives in Medicine Hat now... I think where he studies fine art. He's got a ncie boyfriend there who treats him almost as nicely as I did, I don't get to see him much but I still think of him as a friend. Actually he's easily one of my favorite ex-boyfriends. At least we still talk and he deosn't say nasty things behind my back.
My cousin Kelley from Calgary rocks totally. She's really the only member of the extended family that I am out to and she's totally cool with it. I can still remember her freaking out because one of her best friends and one of her favorite cousins were both gay. She and I didn't always get along, you know as kids. But now a days we write emails all the time and we are always talking about stuff in our lives and the family. I really love the fact that I can have someone in the extended family that knows so much about me and that I can talk to. Kelley is fantastic. She deffinately Rocks!
This is my friend Karen from S'toon who lives in BC now. She and I had a bit of a falling out about two years ago but we've put that aside and are good friends again. We used to hang out all the time, we practically lived together for about a year we were such good friends. She calls me every once in a while, I'd call her but I'm always too poor for long distance. But she has family here so Karen will have to come back to Toon Town and visit every once in a while.
This is my friend Grant, I've known him for a few months. My boyfriend introduced us, he actually dated my ex-boyf Cameron (God I almost forgot his name). Anyway Grant is the one on the left. My boyf used to act all jealous that he and I e-mail eachother every once in a while. I can see why, he's a hottie, actually he just recently won a pairs halloween costume competition at the local gay bar as a merman. He got quite the applause with a big flipper for legs and a shirtless-glitter-covered torso. But he's not jsut a pretty face, he's quite the intellect and he spends his days getting up early to help save the lives of large animals at the College of Veteranary Medicine as a technician in the large animal hospital...or is it a clinic. Anyway he's fun, he's cool, and he likes to in-line skate (so you know he's cool). Grant rocks!
