I've meet a lot of cool people
along the way - many come and many go in and out of my life,
some far more... "different" from others. Let's see...
I'll go in alpha order:
0000. Ahren
Ahhh, Ahren, what can I say?
I'm getting awfully sick of seeing you 28 hours a day! This
kid - while he looks normal on the outside, is one f00k3d
up kid! After meeting him briefly last year, I though hey
- maybe this is an OK guy to work with on my BME 101, BME
164, and BME 205 projects - boy was I wrong! I'm like sitting
there in lab working on our eye operated mouse, and he's like
"Hello! My name is Francis! Hello! How are you doing?
Hello! Hello? Delta! Delta!" I think he has schizophrenia.
Anyway - his block mates probably think I'm just as weird
considering I go nuts anytime I eat cake there.
Every time we work on our
projects, he seems to want to eat. It's like we can't do any
work until we go do our ritual eat-at-Arby's-to-get-a-stupid-Arby's-Roast-Beef-Sandwhich
or eat-at-Wendy's-and-sing-the-biggie-biggie-song or eat-at-Baskin-Robins-so-you-can-get-your-iced-cappicino-thingy.
Gah, I can go on and on about you, but people might get the
wrong impression about you SNAPPLE BOY! Gah, that was just
plain sick dood. (Inside joke. VERY inside joke).
Oh, and of course, I can't
write about Ahren without using the "H" word. Heather
this Heather that! (Although, Heather, if you're reading,
I do apologize for stealing all the time away from yer man!)
Dave is Ahren's
roommate. Dave likes to wear Bath and Body Works' Juniper Breeze
lotion. He smells pretty. Oh, by the way, Shirley called. Oh
- and this is the color of his Juniper Breeze bottle.
George is a funny
guy. I met him through Ning, his roommate. He's like the epitomy
of work-hard play-hard. Whether it's locking himself up in Perkins
studying for P-chem or locking himself in his room watching
Anime or playing Soul Caliber on the Dreamcast, he never quits.
George has a girlfriend (see Janet) that works twice as hard
as he does, making them the most fitting couple in the world!
Ok, Glory is not the adjective
to describe Glory. LOUD is the adjective to describe Glory.
This is girl is f00k3d up the wazoo! A bored sophomore with
nothing to do, she's always yackin' yackin' and yackin' away
about anything and everything. But she's alright because she
appreciates my Ning-inspired sense of humor (see Ning). She's
also always touching me, which I must say isn't a bad thing,
but c'mon - that's what your boyfriend's for!
Obsessed with brains, she's
always chasing egg heads around campus. Glory's like one of
those crazy anime characters with super-mood swings and become
super-deformed when you change states. Of course she'll have
no idea what i'm talking about because she thinks anime is
for little kids, but goddamit, you are a little kid! Hrmph!
0100. Janet
Janet is George's girlfriend
(see George). I think I've poisoned Janet by introducing her
to anime. She laughed, she cried, then got really pissed off
because Kareshi Kanojo No Jijou's ending was unsatistfactory
to her. She no longer watches anime.
0101. Jing
Jing, jing, jing! When will
you ever carry some money so the rest of us don't have to
pay for you! Gah, this girl is totally off in ten different
places at the same time. Always equipped with an excuse, she
never makes it to meetings on times - "Oh, I have to
get my citizenship, I have to make a supply run, I have to
see the game!" Heh - but it's amusing watching Ahren
go nuts because of it.
I must admit, this girl knows
how to pick projects though! For her 101 project, she's making
this wallet that electrocutes you (10,000 V at 2000A) if you're
not the owner. Hell no the professor's gonna test that! So
she gets an automatic A!
0110. Mandy
Mandy is a funny girl. She
never goes bed before 5 (although I'm starting to pick up
on that habit) and is always on the phone with her boy whenever
she's awake... She's probably the only person I don't make
fun of, which is weird, because I make fun of everybody. *scratches
head* Oh well, her ICQ conversations are really annoying because
she talks like this ^o^ and ~~~o~~~ u just want to kill ur
self ~~~^_^~~~ !!!
At 134$+ $h3 d03s/\/'+ +41|<
1337!
Oh boy, Ning. I treat you
like crap! I met this kid studying for MCATs that I'm never
going to use - and after one week of studying with him, I
started getting harassing phone calls about how I'm not at
the Kaplan Center 24/7. Boy, Ning, this is where you went
wrong. Because of that, I told everyone this story in the
style of Ning's awesome chinese accent, and all hell just
broke loose then.
Unable to talk without Ning's
accent when around him, I seem to just push Ning's tolerance
farther and farther until he snaps and yells at me. I feel
bad for about a day, but then go on!
I must say, though,
thanks for putting up with me. And thanks for yer help on the
101 project - I promise I'll help you on 164!
I met roger in EE64. We suffered
throught he wrath of Amol together... If you want to hear
the story, ask Roger, cuz I'm sick of telling it :P Since
misery loves company, we ended up being good friends, making
fun of BMEs and Koreans (hey! I'm BME and I'm Korean! :/ )
This kid knows everything about anything. His room is a freakin'
EE lab in itself, except you still need to buy that Oscilloscope
card...
Roger and I started a computer
company in May 1999 called DevilTek. Financially it went under,
but boy oh boy, did we build great computers! I guess we were
too nice into thinking we could be like a non-profit organization,
but we ended up being a give-you-a-discount-at-the-cost-of-our-budget.
Oh well, I'm sure the guys who bought stuff from us appreciate
it! But hey, we're still in business, just not legally :P
Roger - if you DARE get a
job, I will no longer be your friend. We were supposed to
be unemployed together!
I've known Shirin since the
beginning of freshman year at Duke, and to say the least,
she's a cool gal. Through countless study sessions quizzing
her on Shakespeare's sonnets, I got to know her quite well
(oh yeah, and Shakespeare sonnets 19 through 26 - err, were
they even numbered like that?). It was unfortunate I completely
ditched hanging out with her during sophomore year - sorry
about that Shirin! Junior year proved to be full of hour long
car trips to Denny's, and the tradition still continues!
Hopelessly in
love with Ted, and equipped with a job, things are looking good
for her. Here's to a bright future, Shirin!
I met Ted for
the first time picking him up at the airport. Having listened
to 3 months of "Ted this Ted that" from Shirin, I
finally got to meet this dood. I must say, he's one of the most
chill guys I know - Roger says it's because he has no backbone,
and maybe that's why Shirin loves him so much :P. It's too bad
he'll be stuck at Duke while Shirin's off makin' tons and tons
of money!
