OLD FRIENDS
Who your friends are tells you a lot about yourself.

I haven't updated this page since '97. Many of the people here I have not spoken to in years, some of them not since the time when I first made this page in '94 -- but how can I delete them from my list of friends? I've shared many memories and good times with everyone listed here. Maybe one day I'll update this list. Most of the links here don't work anyway; I'd recommend this list only to see funny quotes that my friends accidentally said.

I was just accepted into a new A Cappella group here at Penn. I know what you're thinking: That's exactely what Penn needs! Another A Cappella group. Well, you are absolutely right.

It helps me think better.

Ben Wyche on that silly thing he always wears on his nose

On the train ride with me back to New York, Ben Goldberger whipped out his funky laptop computer - only to play Doom II! While Ben has abandoned Hill House, Paul Welfer, also from New York, has stayed on.

Ariel Blumenthal

Alexis Mitchell's mother has devised the most neato naming method. Like me, Alexis also loves art; we went to the MET, but unfortunately I didn't see anything by my favorite artist, M. C. Escher.

Am I to infer that this means I *won't* be getting a hug from you any time soon?

Tom Kretchmar to Paul Lukasiak

Jeanne Chang One of the nicest people you'll meet at Penn.

Paul Chow, unwittingly revealing how little he knows about Jeanne...

My mother said that when I was a kid I smeared Vaseline all over my body, and it was so hard to get off. She and my grandmother gave me several baths, and it still wouldn't come off. Then I think one time I squirted a whole bottle of toothpaste all over the sink...wait...that wasn't me...that was Ramona Quimby in the Beverly Cleary books. Whoops!

The Big Red Band is proud to welcome our guests from the eighth best institution in the Ivy League, the only school that could so disgrace the good letter "C": Columbia University. (That's Columbia with a "u," by the way, although it's sometimes hard to tell which one is the bigger drug haven.)

It's da bomb!

Faculty Friends

I'm guessing you haven't worked through the personal info page closely enough to understand that I regard all you sissy easterners as bubble gum sticking to my shoe, yes?

Amy Poettinger and I corresponded after I discovered her page. Why does everyone at Carnegie Mellon seem to have a homepage? And not the same generic one that everyone at Penn seems to have.

I don't know where to put Jennifer Estaris or Myra Lotto (my flame war buddy in English 125) for this same reason.

Rachel Shirley is my West Coast connexion.
