getting to know you #...I forgot

Sorry I've become a slacker with these. I don't even remember what number I'm on. But I have received glowing feedback, plus I really do want to cover everyone, so, onward.

• Erika is my cousin (another of Alice's 9) who unfortunately I haven't seen in almost 2 years! I remember when I was a kid visiting cousins in Utah Erika always did my hair cool ways and was nice to me even though I was a whiner. Then as I got older she continued to talk to me like I was an equal and not just another kid cousin. I had many a dinner at her house in college...many a dinner.
• hanner is also known as Hannah. She's my sister and the original blogger. Well...actually maybe Nicole is? Anyway she and Nicole started blogs and then I started one the next day. Couldn't resist. Now all of my 18-year-old musings are freely available for you to pore over. Luckily I was already out of high school (barely) when I started. Hannah's archives might be even more embarrassing. Anyway I am super-lucky to have grown up with a sister just 2 years younger, who always let me borrow her clothes, who listened to "Love Songs on the KOST" with me every night, and who I remain great friends with today.
  
• Hannahtess is another of The Nine. My favorite memory of Hannah is how she used to call everyone "ol' buddy ol' buddy ol' pal." I am pretty sure I didn't push her around the way I reportedly did her sister Hester (see "Hester," below). I hope not. I can't have another person with a grudge like Hester's. Also, she likes gnomes.
• Megan (no blog) is in here randomly with the H's; she is one of many Megans around here as you'll see when I get to the M's. Anyway I dated Megan's brother Joel (again, refer to the archives if you're interested in my fascinating history) my entire freshman year at BYU. Joel constantly talked about what a cool sister she was, how she never got mad, and how all his friends had crushes on her. I became worried at times that he had a crush on her. She is super nice, by the way.
• Heather is one of a few Heathers here. Let's call her Cousin Heather, she being my cousin and I think the only cousin I have named Heather. I haven't seen her in a few years either, but again, let's thank blogs for making the distance seem shorter. She may get the vote for Funniest Terrill Cousin. I don't know, cousins, what do you think?
• Hester is another of The Nine and also happens to hold the title of My Best Cousin. BCF! She and I are just the same age, fought all the time when we were kids (I "bullied" her apparently . . . take my advice, don't believe the rumors), and then settled into a marvelous friendship when we went to college together and lived together. Best Cousin, Best Roommate. She lives in Jamaica but is moving to DC soon for seven months!! and then off to Norway. (PS, I just looked at her first post because I was feeling nostalgic: first line: "K eliza has been bugging me forever to start my own "blog", as she likes to call them.")
• Harry F. (no blog) is one of many Harrys in my immediate family. He is my older brother and maybe he and Heather could face off for funniest cousin. He's a copper and has some good stories. Pretty much since the time I could talk I idolized him and his choice of music. I don't know, I just always thought everything he listened to was so cool. Depeche Mode. Thompson Twins. Talking Heads. Rush . . .
• Holly recently (well, I guess not so recently anymore) moved back to the US after a few years in the Middle East. I don't know, it sounds adventurous but would I be up to it, I ask myself? She is expecting her first girl this summer (they have two boys) and a great one to talk books with.
• Ie Li decided to start being a super-friend pretty much as soon as they moved into our ward. I had a tiny baby and she came right over to me at church when I came back, introduced herself as my new visiting teacher, and said she was coming over to watch Theo while I took a nap. That's the way to make a fast friend, I say! She is fabulous and I am hoping she doesn't decide to move too far away . . .
• Janine was one of the first people I met when we moved to VA and she's super laid back and nice. Her baby has pretty much the best baby hair ever; I think she's cut it 10 times already or something (he's like 5 months old).

Blog away, my friends!
