These are the boys that keep me sane, atleast since the Spring semester of my freshman year in college. When I need someone to talk to I know they will listen. These guys introduced me to the world of RPG's. Sure, we disagree on nearly everything at some point or another, but our differences bring a wider perspective on life. We have very frank discussions and very few secrets. We have distinct tastes and personalities and yet somehow, we mesh amazingly well.

Githzeria (of course that's not his real name) Mechanical Engineering graduate as of May 1999. Not only is he my best friend, he is my husband. He never says anything bad about anyone. He is my life saver. He is very easy going and is incredibly agreeable unless he decides to take a stand. He loves to learn, and remembers a ton of random facts. He is a fan of the history and learning channels, if you get him away from mudding. He loves anime (Kenshin's his favorite), Ultima online, computer games in general, and is an avid reader. His favorite board game is Axis and Allies (which he tries to get me to play from time to time), although Adv Civ, and Cosmic Encounter follow closely behind. He has even managed to suck me into his world of Playstation 2.

Chris-ChrisPhilosophy graduate as of May 1998. Graduated with a Law Degree in May 2001 and passed the bar in September 2001. He would be a perpetual student if he could. What can I say, the boy loves to learn! Chris R. is a wonderful guy. He will do anything for a friend without thinking twice about it. Since his mother is an artist, he has an artistic flair and can paint vivid descriptions when telling stories. He is currently single, but I am confident that someone will snatch him soon! He is an excellent game master, and of course loves RPG's. He is also a fan of computer games, and classical music. His favorite non-RPG is Magic the Gathering. I'd actually call it an addiction.

Ben-head Radio, Television, Film graduate as of May 1998. He is actively awaiting the sale of his first script, and is a medical journal editor at the moment. He is also running Earthdawn for our group. This 'Hugh Grant' lookalike has written several scripts including one about our little group. He finally tied the knot with Farah on November 10, 2001. He is an excellent game master, and is working with Chris R. to create their own RPG. He enjoys books, movies, and computer games, which all take a backseat to his love of RPG's (& Farah). He is also TV zombie, if it's on, he must watch it!

Farah Biology graduate as of May 1998. She and her sister, Deana, are working for Baylor Medicine on the Human Genome Project. She has Ben wrapped around her little finger -- as well she should, since they are married. They had a beautiful ceremony and even had a bellydancer! Farah is smart with a wry sense of humor. She is a much needed extra female vote when the boys are hopelessly stuck on Starcraft discussions and she has amazing influence over Ben. She loves working out, cats, 80's music, books, and Adam Sandler. Farah also LOVES sports - Basketball, Football, even Baseball and Golf! Ben got her tickets to an Astros game for their anninversary and she was thrilled! She is the catcher for her work softball league. (Can you tell that I have zero interest in sports?) Farah is not a gamer, but she deserves a medal for listening to all of our gaming war stories.

Some call him Tim Economics and Mathematics graduate as of May 1998. He is currently attending U of Mich and pursuing an Economics PhD. We miss him and his vegetarian ways (except for when we are choosing a restaurant). Tim has tried a little of everything. He pratices yoga, and martial arts. He loves the Simpsons and Star Trek. No, I don't think you truely understand -- He has them ALL memorized! He is skeptical of new wave healing techniques, aliens, and everything else you can think of. Yet he does yoga, and strongly believes in meat germs! His favorite game is Twister, because he always wins. We miss him!

Polar Bear Geography and engineering student at present time. Chris H. was Greg's roommate for a while and wielded considerable influence with his anime and ultima online habits. Chris is also a laid-back guy. He most definitely a predictor. He reads people very well, and with very little information often makes very accurate forecasts. He is always thinking one step ahead of you!

Charles Physics graduate as of May 1997. He is programming for a computer company in Seattle. We believe it is his influence that caused Tim to turn vegetarian. Charles' is a genius - there is no doubt about it. He is a loner (well, not since he met Tiffiny who we all love!), and wonders about things that most people don't even know exist! He plays guitar, computer games, and use to RPG. His favorite game is not known although I think he would like Advanced Civilization.

These are the people that helped me survive Chemical Engineering - with homework and group projects, empathy and emotional support, and even the much needed escape from the daily grind of classes, projects, and exams. From late nights at coffee houses to dinners on Friday nights to a drink at the Posse - we always had fun. We are all spreading out with our ChE base to different cities and fields and I can only hope that we all keep in touch. These friends have shared knowledge and growth personally and academically that has shaped my life and they will always be remembered.

Amy is an amazing woman! She is very bright, incredibly organized, and seems to have mastered the art of creating extra hours in the day (I wish she would teach me!). Amy is currently attending Baylor Medical School and planning her wedding for April 5, 2003. I am one of her bridesmaids! We had a great trip to Austin to check out ceremony and reception areas! She will be a wonderful Doctor in any field she chooses. At UT, Amy was active in nearly everything from Omega Chi Epsilon to Sexual Health Peer Advising to volunteering at every opportunity. Amy is most assuredly a party animal when she has the chance (did I mention she's a study-aholic with top-notch grades?). She loves Sixth Street, 80's music, and dancing! When she comes with me to see the Scabs all they can say is "Here Comes Trouble!"

Zoe is as unique as her name! My first glimpse of her was at Madrigal Dinner in which she was Princess Penelope. The next semester I noticed her in one of my ChE classes. I discovered that she was doubling in ChE and Plan II Honors Program and was Pre-Med. She went to Thailand in Fall 1999 for a semester abroad. This is one well-rounded gal! Zoe was also a Sexual Health Peer Advisor and volunteer at Safe Place. She is not afraid to try anything new and took merengue classes with me. Zoe is one of those rare people that is always smiling, I can't think of a time she wasn't pleasant even though she had many places to be. Zoe also joins in games of Adv Civ with my boys from time to time. I love her creativity and individuality! Zoe introduced me to dining dim sum style and in encouraging me to take belly dancing lessons with the warning that it will make your stomach strong!

Renee (aka Ne-Ne)is an ambitious woman who has already begun her career. She will be taking a break from the corporate world to continue her schooling to become a patent lawyer in the future. She treats people with respect and will not accept anything less in return! Renee is also a certified aerobics and kickboxing instructor. Renee is by far the conservative of our group, and we love her for it. She is dedicated and organized and loves her soaps and talk shows, but cannot live without her "Golden Girls". Renee has the ability to attract the most unusual people and situations and thus always has a story! Renee is a sweetheart and keeps track of all of her friends and their birthdays.

Don - notice that this is the only male ChE so far even though there are only 30% women - is quick to make fun, call you names, and generally get your panties in a knot. However, once you realize this is his way of showing affection, you begin hitting him right back -- just a little bit harder! Don is a hard worker, but definitely knows how to party! He always has a crazy story about a party, or a night on sixth street, or a new friend. He drives like a madman, and his New York raising slips out from time to time. But overall, I am glad to have him around. He definitely makes class more interesting and entertaining.
