These pages look empty without photograhs. Herein lie photographs of
friends and other things, such as scenery, random things, whatever I like. I do take lots
and lots of pictures, as my friends will tell you. This page will always have pictures
added to it, and I hope you enjoy my pictures. But if you were looking for der
abenteuerlicher Gartenzerg, he's got his own
site now.
That's me on the left, President R. Stanton Hales
(Stan) on the right. I received my degree that day (along with a prize so that is cool.
Andy Rooney was the commencement speaker. Honestly, I didn't pay much attention because
(1) I was cold, (2) there was a cute photographer from The Plain Dealer following
me around, and (3) I was worried that I was going to trip across Kauke steps or get caught
on the railing. I am sure Stan said something to me, but I was too worried about looking
goofy that I had no idea what he said to me.
But I like this picture a lot.
A photo from junior year. The night of Gala, I was a swinger for
the first and last time (that's me in the middle with the fedora). I had fun dressing up
as a guy, something I have never done before. From left to right: Erica, Ateesha, Jill,
and Jeannette.
We danced the night away at the Winter Gala and gorged ourselves on
rich chocolate cakes, cheesecakes and other goodies.
Oh yeah, the band was awesome, too. I don't remember who they were,
though!
From left to right: Kevin Meirose, Carly Armour, Liz Fischer, Rachel Arfa,
Shehzaad Zaman, and me. We make up the College Leadership Committee 2000-2002. This
picture was taken at Rachel's apartment in Washington, D.C., moments before we headed off
to a Hawaiian luau in the beginning of January 2001. That was a time of little sleep...and
monster stress for me (I.S.!)
If this photgraph seems random, don't worry. It is. I'm just
trying to fill up the page so you have something to look at. This is a twelve-inch tall
action figure from the movie, The Mummy, and this is Rick O'Connell. (Isn't that
cool?) Anyway, for the duration of my Junior Independent Study, Rick O'Connell became the
I.S. Deity/I.S. God. See, what happened was that I won that really ugly candleholder and
the pink doily at a raffle. I didn't know what to do with either thing, so I brought them
back (as well as Rick) to school and I put them on top of our TV set. Thus was the joke
born...
My friend thought it looked like an altar, so we carried it even
further. We draped roses on him and made a little placard which declared him to be St.
Jude, Patron Saint of Lost Causes or something to that effect. He stayed up all year,
except for the random times he would fall off the TV in the middle of the night.
I didn't bring him with me to school this year. He's gracing my
chest of drawers at home instead.
