These are my friends.

                          Or so they like to pretend.



                  the infamous roommate: Lea
              This lucky gal got to live with me sophomore year and was even cool enough to
              win a spot in my room junior year.  Don't be fooled by this picture.  There
              really was a camera in her face and she really did know it was there.
              Unlike Mo, she has a hard time pretending that there is no camera and
              is always ready to point and smile.

                Some advice for hanging out with her:
                    1.)  If she is tired, just laugh along with her because if you think
                          about it, her punchiness is rather amusing.
                   2.) Don't let her buy pets because she'll think about them being dead
                         the entire time they are alive.
                   3.) Open doors for her because sometimes she forgets to and will
                         stand knocking on it expecting it to open or something.
                  4.) Don't give her access to any MP3 you don't want to hear over and
                         over and over.  This can especially be a problem with songs that
                         get in your head like "The Gambler" and "My Name Is."
                   5.) Wear earplugs any time you may be in the room when she is
                         sleeping.  No, she does not snore.  But she does tend to burst out
                         with random obscenities or just good old muble-jumble.  One fine
                         example of the commands she may give: "Bed mutha-f@#!er!!"
                        She also complains about the tasks her boss gives her and about
                        waking up.  "True blue....hehehehe..."
 



                      the best friend and more: Kristen
                     I don't really know what to call her but I think that will suffice.
                    Kristen- let me know if that is acceptable.

                    Notice: Kristen threatened to leave me alone in our small hometown if I did not put her on this page.
                    Dear Kristen, This isn't working tonight so you will have to take a raincheck. I hope that you can see this.
                    Please ignore the rest of this profile. It doesn't describe Kristen.
                    If it were to be about Kristen it would say much more interesting stuff.
                    Also much nicer stuff because I like to be really nice to her.

                   



                      the not-so-quiet shy boy: BenBlack
                    This small town hick is one of the smartest boys I know.
                    Sometimes he uses his brains to memorize and sing along with
                    his boys, the Beastie Boys, and other times he uses them to
                    extract the brains of others.  Don't worry, I am just talking about rats that
                    he has killed.  Someday, his neuroscience geniusness will lead him to a
                    happy life as the only doctor in his hometown.

                Some common misconceptions of BenBlack:
               1.) He is quiet.  Sure... Get to know him a bit before you decide
                    this one.  Play some Beastie Boys and put a video camera on him.
               2.) He is innocent.  While he still isn't the most corrupt person I know
                    (we'll leave that title to Ben the Lion), he certainly can shock you
                    sometimes with stuff like "I'm a kissing bandit!"
               3.) He is modest.  Stand under his window and yell up to him
                    sometime.  He'll come to the window with his shirt off and give
                    you a show.



                     the Calvin and Hobbes pal: Jeffrey
          Jeffrey has been my great pal since 8th grade, back when we were
               silly children.  The only difference between how we are now and
                how we were then is, umm, I'm not sure that there are too many
                differences.  I guess he's a little taller now.

               Where to take Jeff on a date:
               1.) Anywhere there is a strong stench of cow dung.  Coming directly
                    from the middle of farm-central, and going to school in the midst
                    of farms so he doesn't have to be without the aroma, Jeff really
                    likes to be able to feel at home.
               2.) Somewhere he can consume alcohol and chocolate pudding.
                    Don't get me wrong, he is not an alcoholic or anything.  He is just
                    a  good college student.  As for the pudding, that is just between
                    me and him but I will tell you, he really really likes it...
                 3.) Away from his parents.  While his parents are really cool and everyone
                    loves them, this can also be a problem for Jeff.  People tend to like
                    his parents better than they like him.
 
 
 
 
 

             I am not done!!!!  Don't fret
           my friend.  I just need to do
               a little more homework
                    and a little less webpage.
