The return of the search

And so I'm interested in diving back into the past again...

I did a quick search for Sips after having re-read some previous entries and found a link and another link off of that link which eventually led to this man - who was actually this person - crazy. I remember that guy.

Other people I remember;
When Val and I were in university, we both got lockers in one of the underground passageways - the best spot was actually between the Loeb buildings and Southam hall. We enjoyed putting notes and stuff in each other's lockers, using the little whiteboard that I got as part of orientation to tell each other where we were, etc.
There was one bad thing about our lockers (other than the crazy slopping floor which we couldn't comfortably sit on)... the fake-goth guy and his girlfriend. We had a great name for that guy - "the guy next to us" (egocentric? not us!) and his girlfriend was (you guessed it) "the guy next to us' girlfriend". What bugged us so much about them was that the guy, in particular, was just not goth. A trenchcoat and tall boots do not a goth make. He had a stupid short hair cut for god's sake. His girlfriend was a bit more goth, she did have lovely curly red hair if I recall correctly - but she dressed up too much for school; I mean, she did the whole shebang - velvet mini-dress, fishnets, big boots, gloves and makeup - I mean, come on; you're going to class, not Rocky Horror.

A few other notable characters around school includes "the most beautiful guy at Carleton" who was indeed a handsome delicate-featured tall guy with weird facial hair/beard line that just was right at his jaw line and met with his sideburns; our good friend Carsten, his buddies (and then ours) Bob, Mike, and others; and then I later found out that I had english class with someone who I later met when I moved out west here. More on that later.

Going back earlier, there were some people we met once or twice which we never really saw again... like the two guys we met at Savanah's who disco danced with us to Offspring... that was so fun.
