Terence Chau - a fellow stuy alumnae I met working in the CMU Computing Help Center who has become a brother to me.
Sophia Chiu - my good friend who did many experiments with white rats at Harvard... now studying philosophy in London
Thomas Crimi - you have to be a cool guy when you could convince all you friends to call you Inf... but he's cool to me because this friend has a strange way of keeping me sane :P
Ryan de Jonckheere - "the amazing Ryan" - my best buddy who will show up at my door any time I call :) It's a shame he no longer has his yellow Mustang... so I can't call him my designated cab driver anymore :P
Anthony Diaz - good friend since 7th grade who periodially drops in my life only every once in a while... though his place in my heart is permanent.
Ashley Gross - my current roommate and a great friend who knows me better than I at times. My description of her will always be: "Ashley is exactly like me... except completely different" :)
Dan Hannum - an AphiO brother who will always be Magic Dan to me. Why? because he's just magical... especially when he looks all confused which is quiet often ;) What's more magical is his ability to make me laugh and his good heart in helping others.
Bill Jerome - a die hard Moody Blue fan with a set of awesome speakers and a huge ass TV... also known as the best listener in Michelle's world.
Ed Kearns - well... it's "the awesome Ed", what more can I say? :)
Phil Kerpen - his passion in debate is unrivaled by anyone I have met. He is also a big fan of the New York Mets who always has an enthusiastic and honest opinion to share with others... about everything and anything. :)
Michael Lewis - a future doctor who has always looked out for me. His motivation has inspired me to face all uncertainties with a positive attitude and compassion.
Aaron Powers- a very brotherly brother of mine whose biggest interests in life are java and volunteer work.
Christina Simone - A beautiful girl with an intriguing personality whom I only have the chance to talk to every now and then. Our conversations, however, have always been special and meaningful to me.
Amy Smith - the one who calls herself the abominable conversationalist who is a much more beautiful person than she realizes.
Martin and Kindra Smith - A very adoring couple whom I am fortunate to get to know. Martin is always enthusiastic in helping others and Kindra is always nice to everyone she meets.
Donald Stahl - the owner of www.blacksun.org, countless computers, a kickass music and movie collection... and most importantly, the biggest ears for all my joys and woes :)
Dennis Stahl - always a big kid at heart regardless of his actual age... a bright star of optimism in my world.
Ben Stolt - the ever silly friend who makes me laugh at every little silly thing, including my own silliness. :P More importantly, he brings out the best and worst of me with tremendous patience and care.
Stephanie Tan - My best friend from junior high school... she must be a great person if she can put up with me for so long, heck! even I get tired of me sometimes.
Edgar Troudt - friend since high school who has a much bigger heart than most people give him credit for. :)
Eric van Inwegen - my good friend with a whacky sense of humor whose joy with simple things is always a motivation to me. Hi Eric Glen :)
Rich Yarnell - a special guy who always treats those around him with patience and modesty. I don't understand how he does it, but I thank this friend who often makes me feel at peace during my silly moments of worry.
Yes, I have probably left out many others on this list... if you are or know any of them, please get in touch with me and tell me how much of a Blockhead I am. :)
