Ed is a very... interesting character. She has very "special" tastes in things: belly dancing, older men (especially teachers - one in particular), and music (anything from Barenaked Ladies to an opera). She has a special flair for costume design, and a passion for clothes. I think she probably comes off as a little bit shy, a little of a goody goody, but once you get to know her, her attitude is infectious (also, I think the goody goody bit is just her tryin' to get in her teacher's pants).

Miriam lives with her dad, mom, two younger brothers, her weiner dog, and the family bird. They have a very close family, and spend many Sundays doing dinner with many other branches of their "family tree". She has a whacho cousin Alena, who has an awesome singing voice and tiny feet, and a roommate named Roberta who kick ass! Ed's parents are some of the nicest people you could ever come across, and her aunts and uncles are pretty damn special too.

I've known Ed for 3 or 4 years now, and I must say she's changed a lot! When I first met her, she was the quiet little smart girl in the corner of my English class (competition!), but now she is rocking' ole Ed, with the red leather pants, and evil hips of death! She really likes the colour blue, and stars/suns (you should see her bedroom - it kicks sweet ass!). She is mostly organized, but has a little of that off-the-wall writer in her too.

I *think* her passions are writing, drawing, designing, goats, crossdressers/transvestites, musicals (especially Rent and Phantom), and wild dancing. She seems quite interested in the way minds work (dreams and such), and gets high grades. Now if only she'd get some athletics going =p She is very opinionated, and will fight for what she believes in.She is an annual participator of the PACE Musical, and is also in Rangers (older Girl Guides), and Percussion class.

Miriam has a fairly small group of *friends*, and then a much larger spectrum of acquaintances. She rarely opens up and shares any feelings, but when she does, I think it is mostly to either Meaghan, Katy, Alena, Lisa/Sarah or myself. I think that is what classifies a true friend.
