Ben's Place - Friends

Let me tell you about my best friends.

... fine then, DON'T let me tell you if you don't want me to. But what are you still doing here? Haha, see, I knew you'd hafta look at it.

Here I am with my roommates Josh, Ryan, and Justin. We're living in an awesome townhouse in Pheasant Run Crossing (well, Josh actually has a co-op this fall, but he comes here most weekends. Taking his place is Ryan Gagnier, a.k.a. Gags, who I don't have a picture of yet but I will soon).

This is Martha, who was my girlfriend from Dec 4, 1999 - Sept 10, 2000. She's a very special person, and I'm so glad I met her and I'm grateful for the time we had together.

This is Ed Baxter, my roommate from spring of sophomore year. Although he looks like a raving lunatic in this picture, he's actually really easygoing, and we got along well. He just switched from Engineering to Management Science, and he's living off campus this year.

This is Tim, my roommate from last fall. He moved back on campus for his last semester at Tech, and he's since graduated and got his dream job with Compaq in northern Virginia. He sets up servers for companies such as Amazon.com. He knows just as much about computers and networking as Josh (if not more), and I know he's gonna be very successful.

These are three of my best [non-relative male] friends. From left to right: My roommate from freshman year Josh, and my friends from home, Mike and Brent. Josh and I are really good friends; he switched from Computer Science to Management Science, and he knows more about the internet than anyone I know. He's from Pikeville, Kentucky. Last year he roomed with Doyle, another good friend of ours, and I was down the hall from them. This year they're living in New Residence Hall East (don't ask me why they haven't given it a better name). Mike is a great guy to be around, and we've been friends since eighth grade. In the summer of '99 we took a week's vacation in Los Angeles where we stayed with his aunt, and we had a fantastic time. Brent, who was Mike's roommate freshman year, has been a good friend of mine since seventh grade, when we met in creative writing class and discovered that we both have a sick sense of humor. He's a Computer Engineering major. He's also a damn genius, and he knows it!

This severely retarded-looking person is May, who introduced me to Martha. I've known her since freshman year, and Martha grew up with her in King George. As you can easily see here, she worships the Dark Lord and eats babies.

This is Martha's bitchy roommate Jaime and her boyfriend James. Jaime is the dirtiest whore on the planet, and she's always yelling and screaming and carrying on. But aside from that, she's pretty cool ;) James is hilarious, and we're always doing crazy stuff in public.

This is my ex-girlfriend Kim, who goes to UVA. She's been working her ass off getting those straight A's :)

Here's Josh and Doyle in the elevator on the way to a football game. Like Josh's shirt? I thought of it and we made them with those iron-on T-shirt transfers. I know, we're losers.

This is my friend from high school, Jeff Howard. He just sent me this picture... he so cray-zeh. He goes to Mary Washington College, and he has the same sarcastic, perverted sense of humor that I do. On the right he's pimpin' his outfit at the Tony Awards.

These are my friends Meghan and Haywood. I took this at Haywood's birthday party sophomore year. I've known Meghan since 7th grade, and we hang out a lot at Tech. She's a psych major, and she's awesome. I got to know Haywood early sophomore year, and he's frickin' hilarious (as you can tell by the picture). He now lives in Fairfax and works for the General Services Administration.

This is Jeff, my other best friend. Here he's dressed up in my mom's bathrobe and shower cap on the way to my girlfriend's costume party for her birthday. He's one of the most hilarious people I know, and we have a very similar sense of humor. He's going to college in NOVA, and we hang out whenever I'm at home.

These are a couple of my other friends from high school: I ran into Sarah Dorsett (left picture, on the right side) and her friend at the VT-UVA game sophomore year, and Kim and I ran into Adrian Verhulst (right picture, on the left) at the dining hall. Needless to say, a lot of Herndon people go to both Tech and UVA.

Here I am with some of my friends at Senior Beach Week during the summer of '98, at Ocean City, MD. From left: Stephanie, Amanda, Angeline, Sarah, me, Tim, and Meg. It was a great way to say goodbye to everyone before they went their separate ways.

Here are some of my other friends' web links:

I'll be adding more of my friends and their web pages, so make sure to check every now and then. Also, if you know any of my friends that also have web pages, tell me about them so I can add them.
