College Pictures, part 1

My post about the reunion yesterday caused me to dig through mountains of crap to find my pictures from my college days. And what I found was hilarious. Apparently, 10 years ago, my group of friends were really into bands like Soul Coughing [wikipedia.org]. I was doing tons of mountain-biking, and I was on the varsity fencing squad (sabre, baby!).


Above is a picture of me (on the right) and Birch [livejournal.com] while on a trip with the fencing team. Not only was I considerably lighter, but I had this idiotic idea to cut my hair really short, which made me look frightening similar to pictures of my father when he was in the military.


Above is a picture featuring The Bearman and Adam [livejournal.com]. They were hanging out in my dorm room. I made sure to crop all of my Star Trek posters out of the picture...


And finally, I won't embarrass these individuals by identifying them. But the picture was taken around our bomb- and riot-proof dorms, a short 2-mile walk to classes (uphill in snow both ways...).
