<p>Name: Dmitry Slavin, but call me Dima
Gender: Male
Location: New York City
AIM SN: ForsbergsFan</p>
<p>Political leaning: Democrat
Nationality: Russian

<p>Name: Theodore (or whatever that shortens to)
Gender: Male
Location: New York City, boarding school in Delaware (that school in Dead Poets' Society)
AIM SN: Theoretically, Chaos_Cow, but that doesn't happen much. We don't get internet in our rooms.</p>
<p>Political leaning: None, really, but I have more fun arguing for the underdog wherever I am. Not surprisingly, at school, that's Republican, but if I really thought about it, I would probably end up on the other side, as the social aspect of things (as opposed to economic) seem to be all that anyone cares about these days.
Nationality: United States
Favorite Music: Classic rock. The really, really overplayed kind that your parents heard way too much of. That's the stuff.
Favorite Movie: Snatch and The Incredibles. Two of the very few movies that do not have a boring instant. Pulp Fiction WOULD be there, if it wasn't for that darn scene with Bruce Willis and that woman in the cab.
Favorite TV show: Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Larry David is the best person on earth.</p>
<p>Possible Major: Not even a clue.</p>
<p>"Other pertinent facts that will help in choosing a roommate for me are:"
Somebody who wouldn't mind ignoring the fact that my fridge is a foot and a half bigger than regulation... (It was on sale last year!) And someone who likes food. That stuff's awesome.</p>
<p>Name: Morgan Harris
Gender: Male
Location: Cumberland, Maine
AIM SN: Ima Homo sapiens (it will be "Ben jammin Hur" at W&L though)</p>
<p>Political leaning: Republican
Nationality: United Statesian
Favorite Music: Hard one. Jam bands, I guess.
Favorite Movie: Pulp Fiction
Favorite TV show: Seinfeld
Possible Major: Politics, Economics --> Law or Business School</p>
<p>"Other pertinent facts that will help in choosing a roommate for me are:"
I masturbate frequently...?
Seriously, though, a big thing is that I play my bass a lot, and it would be AWESOME to room with a fellow musician. I play bass, guitar, and piano (and trombone but it's the school's and I don't want to buy one), so really any other instrument would be sweet... I have recording stuff on my computer so we could produce a couple albums a year :-).</p>
<p>Name: Elissa
Gender: Female-- it would be tragic to be a guy and have my name
Location: Don't Mess with Texas :-)
AIM SN: Tegan29</p>
<p>Political leaning: Conservative
Nationality: Texan ;-)
Favorite Music: A weird eclectic mix-- Jack Johnson, Damien Rice, Megan Slankard, Maroon 5, Lifehouse, Switchfoot, lots of classical stuff thanks to ballet, big band, Josh Groban, folky-bluegrassy stuff, eve 6... like I said, I'm not too hard to please
Favorite Movie: Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Ocean's Eleven, The Emperor's New Groove, and Ever After (hey, I'm a chick, what can I say?)
Favorite TV show: Gilmore Girls and Friday Night Stand-up</p>
<p>Possible Major: Politics and Economics double-major, but I'll be taking psych and philosophy courses because I'm interested in them, too. I want to be a lawyer</p>
<p>"Other pertinent facts that will help in choosing a roommate for me are:" Well, my friend Jen and I are working on rooming together, but if not then another Spanish speaker who has lived internationally like I have would be nice. Um, I guess someone who wouldn't be freaked out that I stretch all the time. (I'm a pretty intense ballet dancer, for anyone who's wondering about that comment)</p>

<p>Other pertinent facts....: My room will probably be plastered with pearl jam posters and a few Bush bashing ones, not that i hate Bush THAT much, its just funny to mock a guy who says things like "its one thing to have justice, it's one thing to go overboard with justice" (I swear he did, you can't make this stuff up)</p>

<p>I'm looking for a varsity athlete, first of all because I will be one (track), and seconddly becuase our schedules may be similar. I'm overall an organized person. I like going out with friends and having a good time, not much of a homebody. I like listening to music, so a person who likes things quiet would probably get annoyed. Favorite teams are the Red Sox and Patriots, I'm pretty adamant when it comes to watching all the games.</p>

<p>incidentally, dima, i do speak russian. in theory, anyway. i actually am pretty bad at it... but it's the thought that counts, right?

"Other pertinent facts that will help in choosing a roommate for me are:" I am very sociable!!! I am an athlete (soccer, goalkeeper), i play tough, and im not afraid to play in the dirt. despite that, i am a girlie-girl. i adore shopping, partying, and just being with my girlfriends. i plan on joining a sorority, im very talkative, and im NOT shy at all. i also work hard, get good grades, and fight for what i want. some people, will not be able to handle me, and i realize that.</p>
<p>Coleman, that's a really cool name. Actually, it seems everyone here has unique names, which is great. I'm looking forward to playing a lot of soccer next year, although I don't think I'll want to take the time committment (and doubt I have the skill) to play varsity, so I definetely hope we can play together.</p>
<p>Cecilia, wow - a Russian student AND a Democrat, you'd make the perfect roomate for me (if I were a girl that is). I plan on bringing a ton of Russian stuff to W&L (music and books and even clothing and maybe food when I get back from breaks) so we can work on it, you'll learn more with me in one year then you can learn studying four years IB.</p>
<p>Name: kate. call me anything you want though. i love nicknames.</p>
<p>Gender: female.</p>
<p>Location: maryland....represent.</p>
<p>AIM SN: i am The Smizz</p>
<p>Political leaning: conservative and proud of it.</p>
<p>Nationality: technically american, but my family is from sicily and i have enough italian in me to kick your ass....just to let you know.</p>
<p>Favorite Music: anything and everything -- literally. i love all kinds of music. i like stoner music, emo/punk music, rock music, girly pop music, 80s music, and everything else....i'm the whitest white girl but i listen to rap and i can spit out jay-z lyrics like a champ. it's actually kinda funny.</p>
<p>Favorite Movie(s): boondock saints. remember the titans. super troopers. ferris bueller's day off. swingers. love actually. dumb and dumber. anchorman....i like a lot of stupid pointless movies. errrr.</p>
<p>Favorite TV show(s): BOY MEETS WORLD (don't hate). sex and the city and fresh prince of bel air also score major points in my book. and can someone please tell me what happened to all those awesome old school nickelodeon shows? like alex mack and global guts and legends of the hidden temple?? who's dumb idea was it to take them off the air??!?! COME ON.</p>
<p>Possible Major: politics all the way.</p>
<p>"Other pertinent facts that will help in choosing a roommate for me are:" i want someone who likes to have a good time. i'm a crazy chick. i like to go out a lot, but i definitely don't mind staying home and just hanging out either. if you enjoy going to bed early and being serious all the time, don't be my roommate because you will hate me. if you enjoy blonde preppy white girls who love to act ghetto and say stupid ridiculous things, you will love me. i stay up late, i know how to party, and i'm not afriad to be myself. don't be my roommate if you're mean. 95% of girls are mean by nature, and i don't like the majority of the girls that i know. so basically....i want someone fun who will tolerate my insomnia and sarcasm and act like a guy most of the time. unless i need help picking out cute outfits and doing my hair. flippin sweet. amen.</p>
<p>(i write entirely too much....)</p>
<p>LOL I was just talking with Elissa (Tegan29) about Alex Mack! I totally had that same exact thought today about all those old school Nick shows... STICK STICKLY WAS THE FREAKIN' MAN!</p>
<p>Legends of the Hidden Temple used to be my favorite show!! lol, that's excellent.</p>
<p>STICK STICKLY RULED MY CHILDHOOD.</p>
<p>write to me,
stick stickly.

<p>holy jeez, i'm sure i'm the only one who remembers that song, but they played it so many times between hey dude! and salute your shorts as i was coloring in my coloring books that i don't know how i could forget it. (p.s. i still love to color....is that bad?)</p>
<p>and just FYI: i'm totally bringing my boy meets world DVDs to W&L with me, so just let me know who's bringing the DVD player and i'll supply the goodtimes. boy meets world + kool aid + any random sunday night = 100% AMAZING.</p>
<p>First of all, I guess I'm not really officially in the class of 09, but it seems really unlikely that I'll pick to go to another school instead. There's no way I'm going to you-know-where-that-starts-with-an-H, and it's harder to turn down Dartmouth but it's looking that way.</p>

<p>I can't believe I racked up like 500 posts here just talking about W&L and Dartmouth. I'm a huge loser.</p>
