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!)

0001. Dave

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.

0010. George

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!

0011. Glory

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!

0111. Ning

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!

1000. Roger

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!

1001. Shirin

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!

1010. Ted

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!
