david:
Dee could alwoys suck up her fear and discomfort and just get on with it.

I've seen her nervous, grey face on the river bank a million times. Every time the crunch moment to either just suck it up or to back down arrived she would just suck it up and put on her spery deck. I really admired that in her.

When she was in first year she managed to swim in the energiser eddy. someone on a rope pulled her on to river the Right bank of jacksons and her boat flowed on to the river right eddy just above baby jacksons. I told her the only way to be reunited with her boat was to jump into the gorge (a total lie...). She was really nervous and babbleing about a fear of heights whn I yelled "ON THREE: ONE TWO..." and she was running and jumping into the gorge by the time I got to "...THREE".

Thanks for that one tom.

In easkey at the end of her first year she was the only fresher to surf the really big waves breaking onto the rocks. she was taking horrendous swim after horrendous swim as she had no idea how to roll. each time she swam she'd swim in with her boat, drag it up the beach and get back onto the water. and every time she did that my admiration for her grew and grew.

i can't confine Dee to one memory,
i remember her for the way she used to pretend to be interested in your problems,
i love the way she thought her ugandan wedding dress was a bargain.
she was naive and explosive and responded to laptop Tv as if it were a living thing.she'd shoot you down faster than you could say "really short word" and didn't apologise.
she suprised me every day.
she cleaned the shower in sparkly silver eye shadow and marigolds and didn't hear me when i called her for luch because her earphones were blasting music so loud it was almost on an inaudible frequency.
the suprise that day was that she was actually cleaning the shower.
i love the way she handled disappointment.
i love that she threw up on Christmas Eve for eight years in a row because she was so excited.
i admired her loyalty.i love her for it.she was never afraid to loose out and attacked everything with a kind of energy that you just can't fake.
i remember her crying at the christmas party and being so embarrassed about it afterwards and i can't understand how anyone who knew her would want to make her sad. when someone works so hard at pretending they don't care it upsets you to see their pretence unravelling.
i remember the last time i spoke to her on the phone.i remember exactly what i was doing ,where i was standing.
i don't remember how she died because i wasn't there even though i told her i would be.
she set her own trap, baited it and stepped on it.
there's nobody to admire bravery when you die because we all make the exit in single file.
I love her.

i have one but i dont think it's appropriate for the book :)

at the christmas party dee dee decided to have a smoke with us - i gave out to her n said it was bad and all that jazz to which she laughed so we went outside and got our smokes out - she then said that she couldnt wait to become funny cos smokers are jokers :)
she then spent about 5mins trying to light the thing - i was in awe that a budding smoker couldnt even light it!! Nuala was gona light it for her but i insisted that she didnt desurve to smoke it unless she could light it!! so she kept trying and i tried to teach her but she was just not getting it so Nuala gave in n lit it for her in the end but it was really funny!!

bless her she was never meant to smoke!!!!
