General Conversation Anyone?

The Berkeley boards have been buzzing with activity (and some hostility), but I don't think I've really gotten to know anyone who is actually attending Cal next year (or even thinking about it). I don't even know what kind of music everyone likes! Its quite dissapointing. I say we start bonding by just posting random information about ourselves.

My name is Naomi. I love the Aeneid and Latin (JCL! Yay!). I listen to all sorts of music from Architecture in Helsinki to Philip Glass. My favorite movie is Pi. I have no fear of hippies and thats probably why I'm suited for Cal.

And who are you?

I'm Mark, from Sacramento. I am also kind of a hippie (but only kind of). I have big curly hair, I too love Latin (classics is one of my majors, woot!), and I love indie rock, indie pop, latin pop, classical, and the avant-garde. My favorite movies are Amelie, Hamlet (Ethan Hawke), Pride & Prejudice, and The Princess Bride. I'm a vegetarian and I like cooking, reading & writing poetry, fuzzy old records, aging professors with no hair and huge glasses, long hugs, even longer walks, and the view from the Campanile.

AIM chat anyone? My sn = goshthatiscrap

Also, there's a livejournal community for us: http://community.livejournal.com/berkeley_2010

There's probably a myspace group too but I cancelled my account months ago EDIT: Point proven, I just found it on the board.

My name is Sarah. I am not 100% on Cal, but I am pretty sure I will be there next year. I love soccer, running, and dance. I'm into all kinds of music, but I am mostly into the John Mayer type thing. I'm a sucker for romantic comedies, more specifically Love Actually.

livejournal community! I'm so in. I don't do the whole Myspace business. Nothing against it. Just not my cup of tea.

The name is Nakul, from da Bay Area and a true liberal (with an open mind however) and therefore fully excited. I listen to all music EXCEPT country, gospel (or anything religious) and most classic. I love reading, sleeping, eating, movies, video games, and sports (cricket, football, soccer, basketball, tennis, etc. I hate baseball and golf however). I'm a non-vegitarian (though my parents think I'm a carnivore), and I'm in EECS.

Really Nakul, no classical? That's really interesting. Not even music from movie soundtracks? Most everyone seems to hate country though. Its kind of funny.

Just to rouse conversation: What is your opinion on Ayn Rand?

I personally love her work. As a person, Ayn Rand is rubbish, but I love her books.

Hi i'm raymond. One day i'm going to be the first person in the entire world to discover a living dragon. I also hope that i can clone super cows that can talk and give me my milk when i want it. People think i'm werid but i just think of myself as unique. I'm also a spring admit for MCB which im praying that i can somehow switch into engineering because it's my true passion. At senior ball instead of dancing i stared at the sealing of the sacramento galleria and wondered what force it took to hold those 3 giant loops up that high. I HOPE I FIT IN!

LMAO at the cows.

Naomi, I said most classical because I despise English classical music. I listen to classical Indian ones though (but not much). Mostly go for hip-hop though. Oddly enough I hated music 4 years ago.

Haha. Thats fine Nakul. I was just curious.

Cows. I had a grand fear of cows in the 6th grade. I thought they would smother me with their weight. I'm vegan now. I don't know Raymond, I might have to protest since your plans involve animal experimentation.
