how were you first attracted to pton?

<p>can u believe it? i first got attracted while reading the autobio of richard feymann, where he talked about his mit and princeton years. after that, i did more reserach and found out i really liked the school. and blah blah</p>

<p>i know it sounds weird.. but yeah.. :p</p>

<p>When a Princeton grad told me that he wished he could have stopped time and stayed at Princeton as an undergrad forever.</p>

<p>I first heard about it when i was a kid, watching Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (let Phil tell you about this one :P). But seriously? I fell in love when I visited and I saw that the preppy image was a load of hogwash. That was the only thing holding me back.</p>

<p>gianievve, you rock! See, I'm not the only one whom television influences :) 'cept mine was The Cosby Show, although soon after I learned Philip Banks of Fresh Prince was an alumnus as well, and it was Carlton's dream school. <em>sigh</em> Carlton's my idol. I can do his dance like you wouldn't believe...</p>

<p>I really learned about it after my friend went to JSA there this past summer. She gushed about it forever, so I checked it out. I'm so glad I did :)</p>

<p>Hey Princetonwannabe - how do you get the weird purple smilie face?</p>

<p>smilie face? you mean the one in my msg or the one by my name? the one by my name is there cuz i put invisible. since i dont sign out, it looks like im always online even when im not.. so that's just a better way for me..</p>

<p>"Carlton's my idol. I can do his dance like you wouldn't believe..."</p>

<p>lol Phil. Now that is one thing i can't wait to see. Will you put on a show for us?</p>

<p>Oh, if we get in, it'll be the first thing I do. I'll pay homage to both Carlton and Sondra Huxtable. <em>moment of reverence</em></p>

<p>We have to have a party if and when we get there. people keep sayig this, and it's totally true.</p>

<p>It'll probably be the biggest frosh party ever, lol. And that's...okay. Stuart Smalley, anyone? Okay, maybe not. But yeah, party over there!</p>

<p>The purple face with the tongue sticking out - see at the end of your first post here...</p>

<p><em>Halt everything!</em> Let's party now!!!
Reason: All hail Phil, the new "Member"

<p>Muito obrigado! I no longer feel inferior :p</p>

<p>Mm'k, now it's bed time. Zzzz...g'night, all.</p>

<p>Come on P - how do you put the pinkish/purple smilie face?!</p>

<p>: + p = :p And then you differentiate it ;) Yeah, still on calculus homework. And leaving now. No, really. Seriously!</p>

<p>:}.........................ok that wasn't it ;)</p>
