And here you'll see... well - ME! All sorts of pictures - funny, good, bad, ridiculous... Enjoy!
This is me in my most natural state. Halloween party @ John's house (2001).
And here I am demonstrating my amazing strength by lifting a piece of concrete from near a dock at the Bulgarian Black Sea (summer 2001). Did I say "lifting"? More like "pulling on". But we won't go into details...
Me sticking out my tongue at... you. Sewanee, the French House. Berenice, Irene, Rayid, and Myako are somewhere behind the camera. This was on Easter my junior year, so it must have been spring 1999. We cooked a big dinner and then colored eggs. So, wait, it must have been before Easter, right? Well, you get the point. You see any resemblance to the witch picture? I guess we can draw the conclusion that I like making funny gestures and faces at the camera.
And here are the eggs I mentioned above. Aren't they pretty? Awwww... I look "tired but happy" as the saying goes. And I am! This is inside the French House, the same night as above. I think Rayid is the photographer.
Here I am explaining something to Fahd. I think I am explaining why he should not take this picture. Oh - too late! This is in Dr. Smith's office, and I am sitting in his chair. Smith is one of the greatest people I knew in Sewanee, and, come to think of it, anywhere at all. I admire him for so many things - for knowing how to treat each and every person, for his profound kindness and trust, for the huge number of things he knows and can talk about for hours, for the way he brings up his grandkids, for the way he teaches, for the way he does what he loves. I spent so many hours in his office (with him almost never being there), that I really thought of it as *my* office. I would say "let's meet at Smith's" or, "leave me a message on Smith's door if I am not there". But I was almost always there. I worked there, I played there, I watched movies. He has a fridge and a microwave at the back of the office. Also, he always keeps food and drinks at the back, as well. He has a couch. Really, he could have had a shower, and I wouldn't have needed a dorm room. His office is where I kept my books, that's where I dropped off my backpack after classes and before lunch, that's where I pulled allnighters. I miss him and I wish I had gotten to talk to him more during my time in Sewanee.
This picture was taken by Fahd at one of the Potluck Dinners in Convocation Hall. I think it was during my senior year (1999/2000).
Surprise - me again! Slouching at a table outside and trying to swallow before I erupt in laughter. This was an improvised dinner with Fahd and Mahvash outside Cannon Dorm (if I remember correctly) in Sewanee, some time my senior year, so must have been fall 1999. They cooked and we all ate (as in, I think I didn't cook - that time). Well, I told you I'd put some funny pictures, didn't I?
This is cheesebread in my hands - a delicious Brazilian specialty, which, unfortunately, is really hard to get outside Brazil. And, as you can see - you can have all sorts of fun with it - who said "don't play with your food"? We baked the bread in my old apartment on Stanton Ave, Pittsburgh, first or second semester at CMU (can't remember exactly), so sometime 2000/2001.
My 'professional' CALD picture which hangs outside Diane's office. Well, it could have been worse :-) Taken at some point during my first semester at CMU, so it must have been Fall 2001.
"Kindness is tenderness. Kindness is love, but perhaps greater than
love...Kindness is good will. Kindness says, "I want you to be happy."
