Can you remember your first best friend's name?

[ohiosmith]

Mine was Tony. We were four or five. I kinda remember what he looked like, but most of all I remember that his favorite food was "pasgedi".

[mainegreen]

1. Yes: Seth.

My next best friend was Seth (another Seth).
Currently I'm friends with another Seth, but we're not best friends.

[begin_within]

2. Bill. Remember clearly what he looked like and his voice. Always wonder

what happened to him...

[Ava]

3. Mine was Vanessa

we were the "bestest" of friends :P

[Maine-ah]

HE and I have been tight since preschool

[Bunny]

7. Debbie.

[Ariana Celeste]

8. Leah

She used to bring Nickelodeon magazine to recess. Unfortunately I had to move in 4th grade, but I got back into contact with her a couple of times over the years. She's a cool chick, and it was weird to see how much we still had in common so many years down the road.

[Left Is Write]

9. Michelle.

[barb162]

10. yep, Maria

[Burma Jones]

11. Yep, Stevie

[warrens]

I'm still in touch with him. He's a teacher at the Berklee School of Music. Still a great guy.

[Blue Diadem]

13. Yes, her name was Cheryl,

We were friends from 1st grade on..till I was sick for a couple days my Jr. year in HS. I walked into school and there she was holding my boyfriend's hand. :-( Nice way for them to let me know.

[terrya]

14. Mike

I knew him all through grade school and junior high.

[sakabatou]

45. Jeebus

[Nicole]

15. Cathy n/t

[RedStateShame]

16. Bo. He was a Golden Retriever

He helped me dig out of my backyard when I was 4. I was apprehended by parents. The dog returned on his own will.

[NewWaveChick1981]

17. Kay Brown. We called her Kay Brown Upside Down.

:rofl: I knew her from birth until she moved away when I was about five. She was older than I was (I think she was about three when I was born), but she was so much fun. :D

[azmouse]

18. Linda.

We were friends for more than 30 yrs. We'd been friends since we were about 6 but not long after I moved out to AZ we lost contact. I really should look her up.

[Oeditpus Rex]

19. Betty Gilespie

"Hi."

"Hi."

"Still 4?"

"Yeah."



We got locked in the bathroom at my house once. My cousin had to climb through the window to get us out.

Betty was peeing. I guess I was helping her. :shrug:

[miss_american_pie]

20. Valerie

Lived across the street and had pet goats.

[bigwillq]

21. Steve. We're still best friends.

25 years later! :bounce:


Here we are:

[redqueen]

22. Yeah, Shannon.

Fourth grade. I remember everything about her.

[naturalselection]

23. Jeff

He was a wee boy, as I towered over him even when we were 5.

[scarlet_owl]

24. Beth.

[BarenakedLady]

25. Kerry

I haven't talked to her since about 6th grade. I always wondered what happened to her. She moved away and we lost touch.

[RevCheesehead]

26. Annette.

or Ann. She was my best friend since as long as I can remember, until we moved away when I was 6 1/2.

[QMPMom]

27. Patty

We met when we were three.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

28. Debbie. We were about 3.

[Mutley]

29. Mary Kate

[snacker]

30. Ann

[greatauntoftriplets]

31. Joan.

We are not close anymore, but we are still friends. She gobsmacked me last December by coming to my mother's funeral. I hadn't let her know, but she actually reads the death notices. I cried when I saw her standing on the church stairs.

[mduffy31]

32. Matt

Easy enough...same as mine

[coffeenap]

33. Linda, at age 3--and she stayed my best friend until

she died suddenly last month at age 48. (Still don't know what happened.)

:cry:

[greatauntoftriplets]

38. I am so sorry to hear that....

:hug:

[Liberal Jesus Freak]

34. Sharon Watt.

It was third grade. She had ringlets and braces. I had straight hair and even teeth. I adored her :)

[William Bloode]

35. Sure can.

It was Donnie. He still lives a few miles from me. We are no longer friends, and he's a one legged crack addict. It saddens me to see him in the shape he's in now.

I still love him like a brother, and wish him well. I just had to break it off some years back as i could no longer enable him in any way.

[ContraBass Black]

36. Yes, but I'm young.

[RoyGBiv]

37. Barry ...

Bad hair cut. Cool guy. He always had cookies in his lunch pail that he shared.

[Xipe Totec]

39. Melesio. How can I possibly forget?

[ChoralScholar]

40. Addy - she gave me the chicken pox. EOM

She was generous that way.

[Zavulon]

41. Steve.

He died in a weightlifting accident at 40.

[rustydog]

42. Leon, 3rd grade 1962

Montana. Leon lived 3 miles further in the sticks than we did. Some Saturdays I'd look down the long dirt road that lead to our house to see Leon (who was in 2nd grade) riding up on his tricycle!

[Whoa_Nelly]

43. Sure can! And she's still my best friend today after 50+ years!

Madeline! We talk 2-3 times a week on the phone, email several times a day, and see each other 2-3 times a year (she lives in another state).

[sakabatou]

44. Steven

3rd grade to now.

[Dem4truth]

46. His name was Danny.

He had lost a leg as a child in an escalator(before they made safeguards) and he was the greatest guy ever.

They moved a couple of years later and that was that. We were in 3rd grade.

[Blue_Tires]

47. Michael

still like brothers all these years later

[vixengrl]

48. Meghan. We were six, and she lived above the "fishy"

smelling restaurant a block down from me, just past the backyard with the mean dog. She had a dirty blond bob and blue eyeglasses, and we played in her backyard behind the restaurant. We used the tubes that cigars came in, that were discarded nearby, as pretend test tubes. The test tubes were filled with a "formula" that could turn someone into a monster. We took turns being monster, heroine, and hero. She had a much older brother with Downs and an older sister we rarely saw. Once she and her brother put curlers in my hair--but it stayed very straight.

She moved away after first grade, and I was sad, because we had a lot of fun.

[philosophie_en_rose]

49. Becky.

She was in my kindergarten class.

[RetroLounge]

50. Dave and I met when we were 3

42 years later we still are friends.

Best Friend? Well, we were but have drifted apart over the years...

RL

[BlueStorm]

51. Yeah.. Annie, from kindergarten. n/t

[fizzgig]

52. his name was benji

we used to stay up all night playing thundercats and fraggle rock. he was one year older than me and his sister was the same age as mine. at first his mom was my daycare mom and when they moved out of town we'd spend holidays together, then they moved to ohio.

i now live a block away from the house he used to live in and i still think about him all the time.

i think i've found his family in ohio but part of me is afraid to call them, i'm a wuss that way.

[gardenista]

53. Harry.

We were joined at the hip in first grade.

We were on a constant search for the "Bunny Man", a mythical scary man in the woods around our houses.

Thank God we never found him, and he never found us!

When I think about that little boy and girl we were, roaming around the woods, I just can't believe we survived!

[last_texas_dem]

54. Ben and Chere

They were my two best friends from pre-school. I was so little that I can't remember much about them from those days. We ended up going to Elementary through High school together, but we didn't really stay friends with each other. I remember once having the "My dad could beat up your dad" competition with Ben after he initiated it, and I didn't really understand the point of it. (See, I've always been a pacifist at heart...) Chere (pronounced like "Sha-ree" with an accent mark over the second "e")- was sweet, but I don't remember a whole lot about when we were childhood friends except, oddly, for this time she fell off of the swingset and I had to run and get help. (I guess that sticks in my head because it was scary.) I ran into her a few months ago when I was voting in the Democratic primary election that was being held at the local elementary school. She's married, teaching elementary school, and as pretty as ever.
