I guess the only reason why I'm making this section is just to say
hi to people in my life. These are friends, family members, roommates,
loved ones, or lack there of, just people I want to say a little random
thing to. This page will be long and frightening. There is no particular
order what so ever. If you're a good friend of mine and aren't on here,
remind me to put you on.
On to the list:
Megan- I'm glad we can still talk - I'm glad we can still converse wonderfully - I'm glad
that it feels like I haven't skipped a beat as your friend. You've always been there...
even when you weren't. You've always been someone I can connect with, in our best and worst.
Any time you need me, you know how you can reach me, and you can count on me being there for
you as best as I can.
Kirstin-
I very much wish you were in my life more. You always made life more interesting. Even though
it looks like we've chosen different paths in life, it
still seems like we're somehow reaching the exact same place in life, which is rare. Maybe it's
just that after >so< many years of knowing each other we sorta think alike. I'm fine with that:
You're one of my favorite people in the world :) Thanks for being one of my best friends ever.
Now, pick up yer damned phone already :)
Katherine-
Wow, I cannot believe how much you mean to me. You've helped me so much through everything, both
that year ago, and with my summer of '03 traumas, everything...
and have done nothing but reaffirmed the fact that I have some of the most amazing friends in the
universe. You and I... christ. I don't know what I'd do without you. I'm glad I don't have
to find out. I appreciate everything you've done for me. Get your ass back from NY as soon as you
can, because I miss our sushi trips like no-one's business.
Allegra-
I can't believe it's been what, just three years? Pfffh. Amazing. Seems like a lifetime. Two
stubborn asses butting heads... amazing the arguments and the fun we can have together. We seem
to be able to do that sorta shit with the best of them. A, much luv. I know you don't have that
much time anymore (I know, I know, life things, new guy, and whatnot), but I value every chance we
get to talk.
Nancy-
It's been a while, and who knows, maybe it'll be a while more. I cannot begin to explain to you how
much it meant for me for you to be there when you shouldn't have, you had no reason to... and I
am deeply apologetic for how I acted. I wish you knew. Maybe one day, we can sort things out proper.
I hope you don't stay as "some girl I knew".
Eric S.- New roomie. I'll try not to drive you insane until at least 3 weeks into it. Something something
p-i-m-p...
Audrey- It's funny. We go in waves. But you know what? It's fun. We have fun. I like that. It's
nice knowing that we can always just pick up and go. "Cranium" is a fun board game. The SJ Sharks are
a great team (and yes, yes, Salane is dreamy). But it goes well beyond that. Remember Max? I hope
he's still lying around. JP3 was horrible but somehow, seeing it with a friend like you made it better.
I'm glad you're still around. I look forward to all the wine and fish... the Sharks games... the
movies we'll watch, and the conversations we'll have. It'll be fun, I promise.
Ed Phobes / Jeff S.- We rocked. Thanks, man. Seriously. Best band ever. I'm very glad I took you
up on your offer, and it's a shame we never played out, but dammit, when we practiced, I could feel
something in the room bigger than all of us.
DeAnna- I'm sorry I didn't write something back when it mattered, but that's not how things worked out.
Among all the mistakes I've ever made, you're probably the worst. Oh well, c'est la vie.
Dan A.- It's amazing, how much unwarranted trust I put in you. Karma is a bitch, and I hope you remember
this. I'm sure you'll get yours. Second worst mistake I've ever made.
Erin- Jesus H. Christ, you're right, what was I thinking not having you on here?! For chissakes, you
are one of the people I've known longest, this side of Kirstin. I'm glad I have ya as a groupie,
and hopefully, one of these days you'll be able to see a real honest to goodness MutEx show, although I'll
tell you right now, it was really nice just being able to play for you.
You were one of my favorite audiences. I'm going to miss talking to you so often when
you move. You are one of those... I'll always wonder. Maybe in some other time, in some other place.
But I guess there's a lot of that going around right now.
Dan "the Loverman" H.-
I can't wait till I get to put a link up to your website here. You've taught me a lot about
the idiosyncracies of life, that just can't be learned from those who haven't tried to really
live. And you my friend, have, and will continue to. One day you'll be in South America...
with a beautiful wife and a few little rugrats running around, playing in the sand. And you'll
get a call from Oz, off of the tour bus headed back to the home country in Marin, wanting
to catch up. Friends like you don't come along often. Soon, you'll be able to put countless
little computer acronymns behind your name. We'll miss you at work, man. Serious.
Sam-
You're a loon. A good loon though. One of my favorite loons. A British loon.
Isn't that a type of bird? Like an actual type of bird? Maybe that's a
British Swallow. Can they carry coconuts? I forgot. What's that? I think I
saw an Electric Sheep. I'm not sure though.

Tiffany-
You made me smile the first time I stepped foot into Ida Sproul. Thanks :)
You've always been there when I needed someone to complain to, and I
hope I've done the same. You're too far away! Move closer. Atleast 2
blocks. What does a white balloon have to do with goldfish?!
Dan K.-
You're my current room mate. Along with Dave. Who I FINALLY have a pic of. But
that's not the point. Rather. Nevertheless, if you would do your dishes I would
have somethin' to say dat's betta den dis, sheeeeit. Jive away. I'll never
remember your middle name. Gotta get away from the states, eh? Your dirty dishes
will not be missed. I'm kiddin'. Honest. Heh.
Link
Rajiv and Ricky-
Thanks for putting up with me. Rickster, spiderman rocks. Except for
the fact that Wolverine is far superior. Because he's got claws. Rajiv,
man, you were one of the only constants I had that year. Thanks for sticking
around. I can't believe you beat me in StarFox. Keep dancin', keep
smilin', keep chasin' the ladies, and most of all, stop playing my Zelda cart,
man.
Sujit and Eugene-
Sure, Eugene, you can watch the basketball game in my room, no problem.
You can also play GoldenEye if you really want :) Sujit, I'd rather just
be incredibly vague. Man, you guys are crazy.
Gabe-
Your cheeks are a little red, Gabe, should you still be swingin' your
practice sword around while doing wu shu? You're the one who made me
want to get back into martial arts. I've never seen someone have such
a way with girls, man. It's like a magnet. Gettin' the Gabe on... heh.
I think I hear a knock on your door- a girl wants to give you a back
massage.
David-
You suck, with your never having time to hang out, blah blah blah. Makes it hard
to keep in touch. Thanks for being a sounding board so often, and glad I could be
the same for you. I really do wish you the best in med school.
Are you Socrates? I forgot. I know I am.
Marc-
I can't find a picture of you that's from any time near this year.
This picture is so frikin' old, but I'm sure you noticed. We've had our times...
although we spend most of our time bitching at eachother non-stop, it's been
fun. Man, stupid turbo powered nitrous burning Eclipseses. If you say
poo one more time I will personally kill you. And don't think I won't!
Remember Stinson Beach? :P Mizzark, I think you're gonna end up causing me
to kill you.
Link
Jess- Damn. I've known you forever, too. Man, I remember way back when
in that team, where we were playing, that sport, I'm not sure what it was. I seem
to have forgotten. I know there was something about some tuxedoed linux mascott.
Oh yes. The Penguins. Farm league? You throw a mean softball. I've known you
for so long it hurts to think that far back. And I'm finally taller! Woo! Miss ya.
Jen-
Smoop. Yerf?! NO! Gyaah! Punk! Whatever... Pika! Mrrf! Boookak!
I'm stealing your catch phrases. Freakshow! :)
You helped me love the guitar. Thanks. I really don't understand how we
met or became friends or made a band, but it happened. IRC is evil? Sure. Whatever.
Next time I will get a good picture of you. Can you please remind
me what the HELL we talk about? GO TO SLEEP!!!!!! I'm not evil. You are. Weirdo EE/CS
person.
Link
Leo-
I'll spar you some day. And you'll learn the full wrath that is... something or other!
One of these days you'll beat me. One of them. You don't have a good picture of you
on your website. It's frightening. Oh well. Put on a shirt already! Man..
where do all those girls keep comin' from?!
Link
Sarah-
One of the Sarahs... heh. Who's Guster? I like them. You remind me a lot of me,
but not. You can be our percussion any time. But first, you have to find a
can of jelly beans. Who's high falsetto voice? But atleast you've got a lovely
voice.
Sarah T.- The other Sarah I felt like mentioning. Man, yearbook rules over
newspaper. Actually, no it doesn't. You guys can win that any time you want.
I'm not particularly inclined to stand up for YB or Paul. You amaze me. You're
one of the sweetest and smartest people I know. Keep in touch. Please. :)
Lisa-
I have yet to see Rent. I know, I know. I should be shot. But, well,
I do remember that there's a song about 365 days or something like that!
I think you're the only person who I know that I'll accept listens to the Back
Street Boys. :) You're a dancin' machine!
Beau-
Got to get tough, YEAU JEAU!
Man, I have had some weird conversations with you. Our netgames have always
been fun. Except for all the times you hammered me in quake. I do want to see
that Tonka game. Work?! What's that? I'd much rather do nothing.
I got an idea, let's get Sam to take us to a movie.
Raoul- I don't even know why I'm putting you here, windmill boy. I guess it's
just for fun. Well, I think you have to sit bitch between Matt and Beau...
Matt- Man, I don't have a pic of you either. Sucks, eh. One of these days I'll
be able to whoop on you, and you'll be very upset. I don't care if we're old and
gray. I will beat you in Quake. Promise. Where's the Wagovan? Vagon? Something?
Does that thing still move? And where's the pr0n? Or should I be asking Beau?
Oh wait, I know where it is: c:\stuff!!!
David G.-
David, or is it Dave? Which one is which? Oh well, a Dave will rule the world,
or so I heard. Something like that. When I found this picture, I just had to put
it up. Fnord, man. That was probably the weirdest bit of delinquency I've ever done.
I don't think anyone will ever be as weird as we were that night.
David P- David? or is it Dave? Man, I've known you for so long. Metal gear rules.
Quake sucks ass, doesn't it? THEY'RE DESTROYING THE CITY!!! The once mighty armys
of Command and Conquer suck... we'll be allies one day, man. How's Idaho? Ohio?
Iowa? I forgot. Dammit. You're comin' home for winter break aren't you?
Colin- STANFORD SUCKS! Yes it does. Man, I think you and I are the only ones
left on this god forsaken planet that still love 80's music. The Cars rule, Adam Ant,
The Cure, all of them. Damn you run fast. You drew and painted like no one's
business.
Pat- Where did you go? Bassists have the longest shafts, man. Don't worry, I wanna
fly away too.
You'll always be my favorite bassist. And you could always
get the girls to yell your name at inappropriate times. Who set off the fire alarm?
What was his name? Something Diggler? Rick Diggler? Oh lord. Not that.
Want to be in another band? ;)
Dave Gropper- Big D. Kru. I CANT HEAR YOU ON THE PHONE, THERE'S THIS
POUNDING TECHNO BEAT COMING THROUGH, I CANT TELL WHAT IT IS, I THINK IT'S
EPIC JUNGLE DRUMS... shit, did I just make that up? Oh well, I think it would sound
cool.
Conrad- You have the coolest guitars. I've never seen anyone carve soap before,
I thought that was just a movie thing... damn. What's that big guitar thing called?
I forgot. Guitarron? Want to be in another band? It's just your 4th... ;)
Bedros- Shit, I can't believe I didn't write your name here earlier. But, don't
worry, order doesn't matter. Well, anyway, Beedrose, it just keeps getting harder
and harder, doesn't it? Well, that's good. Would you really want it any other way?
Actually, don't answer that. LILLIAN! HELP US! Hey, guess what. ava ava ava java
there we go, the J key works. You know what? Projects suck. I think
we should try to find another partner who'll drop in the middle of the class.
Erica- I barely know you. But I can hear that wood instrument from miles away.
Riiiiicoolllaaaaaaaa. Go Bears. Engineer? Engineer?! Ugh. Lucky.
Veronica (not the Sister)- Where are you?! You went away! I miss ya!
Life will not be the same without you and Jeever's constant arguing. I miss it.
I need to hear that again. Go Waterpolo? Yeh, that's the ticket.
Irina- I might as well put you next to Veronica :) You two are quite possibly
the best people I wish I could spend more time with. Some things? I forgot.
Things are actually going ok! Really well! Honest! Thanks for cheering me up
when I needed it. You're a great listener.
Veronica (the Sister)- What? Whats' that? The little one? Am not. Taller
than you are! It's not all about me. It's a girl... wow. Lilyana Mary,
we'll take care of you. I promise. We're always here. OK?
Will- Googly Emlo, eh. Man, you were seriously the best co-worker I've ever had.
Not that this kid has exactly has had many chances to have other coworkers. But,
as we all know, the little troll can make life annoying. Macroblades? Comfortable?
Sheeeeeit, kid, that's your next jumping bike. I know I've found mine. Psst,
man, you got a bass amp you can sell me? Ah needs one quick.
Josh- No skidding!!! Where did Smiley come from?!
Who started that? Or better yet, why? That's just plum loco.
And who's that Juanita character? Sell that hoopty, man. Man,
you just don't know how to do it! Whatever. That josh mobile is
damned fast.
Mom and Dad-
I love you guys a lot. When you aren't irritating me to hell and
back again. I know you guys mean well. Thanks for giving me opportunity.
I would say something else, but... eh. You guys already know. Dad, I need
a picture of you, cos this one is just of mom and I.
If I forgot someone, sorry. Tell me. Cos I could write another million pages if
I wanted to.
