the man behind the profile

17-Apr-06

A while ago, I started writing a post about wanting to be friends with a person whom I have never met, but whose facebook profile I randomly stumbled on through some friends of friends’ profiles.

Mr. Paul Otto, of care-packages-lore, proposed to Joyce, his beautiful girlfriend of 4 years last night in front of the Rotunda, in the snow, right back where things started at our beloved University.

girlfriends

12-Dec-05

The older I get, the more I realize how much I need my girlfriends. Sadly, the older I get, the fewer girlfriends I have. Ever since this summer, I’ve been obsessed with the Sex & the City lifestyle. I want the parties, the clothes, the shoes, the men, and most of all, I want the [...]

My friend Clement left for Beijing today for 1-5 years. He will be leading the entire Microsoft XBox 360 team in China, aiming for a Dec 2006 (or at least that’s what they tell the media) console release in the land of Mao. This comes after only working for Bill Gates for about a year. [...]
