Keira Dodd 

Year: Freshman 

Major: English 

Minor: History 

Nicknames: Akira by my drunken pervert yet very cool teacher back in high school, Special/Big K 

Titles: the Groovilicious Goddess of Grooviness 

Point/Date of Origin: It was a glorious day on the fifth of May (hey, that rhymes!) when out popped a slimy purple blob that my mom named Keira, who has grown up to be the groovy gal you all know and love today 

Address: Home- RD #2, Box 771 Worthington, PA Here- Box 1542, actual residence - Baldwin C311 

Phone: x 3046 (Actually it's x 3064 but I thought it'd be groovy to inundate the poor souls of the first number with calls for me. And it'd be your fault. You should always finish reading the directions before you begin.) 

Life Philosophy: I know it's already been used, John Lennon's "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans." is especially poignant and shagadelic. Here are a few more goodies: "Variety is the spice of life." "It's freedom, baby, yeah!" Austin Powers!!! I also believe that life should be lived slowly and sensuously whenever possible. 

Hobbies: writing (of course. why else would I be in your zany group? wait, why am I in this group? "Oh , my Christ. Let me out.."), basketball (when I can), watching Austin Powers, memorizing Ausin Powers lines, fantasizing about . . . whoops, almost let that one slip; listening to groovy music (THE BEATLES ARE AWESOME!!!), hanging with my buds 

General Nonsense: To live a totally groovy life, one must be in touch with their froobular side, and get to know the shagadelic person within. Otherwise, you'd totally be a square, dude! Shaa!

Ashleigh Fox 

Year: Freshman 

Major: English 

Minor: Psych 

Nicknames: Ash, Ashhole (courtesy of my wonderful hallmate Matt Carson) 

Titles: Queen Ashleigh (ha ha!), Most Talkative (No one knows why, though) (But it is so hard to get a word in edgewise at Golem meetings!!!!!!) 

Point/Date of Origin: November 21, 1979, in Torrence, California. My mom was shopping for Thanksgiving food when she went into labor. However, her doctor was very confident in the fact that I would not be born for many more hours. So confident, in fact, that he chose to go out to dinner. But unbeknownst to him, I was simply NOT going to wait any longer to make my debut into this fine, fine world. He had to be paged at the restaurant and was forced to prematurely abandon his meal to deliver the likes of me. 

Address: At home: 141 State Street, Saxonburg, PA 16056. Here: Baldwin Hall, Room B405 

Phone: x2105

Favorite Season: Spring! 

Favorite Professor: Dr. Diane Goodman!!!! No, sorry, I'm too arrogant to have a favorite professor because I'm so arrogant that I don't need them. Or Dr. Goodman seems to think so. Really, it's Kirk Nesset. He's our Golem advisor, doncha' know? 

Favorite Holiday: GailDay, April 28th. The origin of the holiday involves drinking coffee, a man wearing one glove in Country Fair, lots of rain, and the dissolution of a whole bunch of illusions in a moment of immense "coincidence." All in all, a good day. 

Best thing to do on Fridays: Visit Asa, Elise and Jen in the coffeehouse, eating and drinking and pretending to roleplay. 

Life Philosophies: Saying no is okay. Saying yes is sometimes fun. Always be open to hope. There's a little magic in the world. Walk on the grass for fun. Appreciate what you're given. Just because something seems unbelievable doesn't mean that it's not true. 

Hobbies: Pooh Bear, self-destruction, stupid trivia games, bananas, cheese, being cute, Swedish people from Switzerland, playing the pie-anoh, lately doing inadequate renditions of Tori Amos music, receiving harassing phone calls late night and early morning from people who need me to read their poems and papers, hiding from those people, staring adoringly at Willy the Stuffed Unicorn Avatar of Tangential Retribution (TM), Golem and other literary groupses, squeezing people's hearts. Oh, and writing. 

General Nonsense: Life in general, but in particular the poem I wrote today (December 10, 1998) about "Rainie the Duck Girl." "She's got her feet in webbed galoshes." Think that's all that needs said about that.
