What you think the sexiest animal is: Beavers

Guilty pleasure song: “Weakends” (sic) by Motion City Soundtrack. Fight back at the pouring rain!

Your dream date in seven words or fewer: Pasta dinner, movie, walk in the park

(more…)

Valentine’s Day is over, but there’s still a shot at love. Tonight’s personal profiles reject cuddling and believe in common human decency, respectively: meet Sam Schipani and Matt Martinez. Your one-email stop to love, as always, is personals@bwog.com.

What you think the sexiest animal is: Cougars.

Guilty pleasure song: Any Marvin Gaye song cause obviously that guy was BO$$.

Do you watch “Girls” ironically or unironically? Hate on Girls as much as you want, if Judd Apatow is the executive producer then they must be doing something right. I’ll leave it at that.

Historical hottie: Jackie Kennedy.

Read on for Shelley’s personal.

If a picture says a thousand words, how many words does a moving picture say? And if that doesn’t interest you, meet 1/2 of the reason Bwog is still running. Tonight’s personals: Alex Chang and Sam Aarons.  Full disclosure: the personal for Sam, half of Bwog’s tech team, was secretly written and submitted by the other half of Bwog’s tech team. Oops! As always, inform personals@bwog.com of your freshly sparked passion.

Obsessive book series of choice: This was a hard one, but I’m gonna have to go with 50 Shades of Gray (is that still a topical joke?), but seriously, the Curious George books were my childhood, and I get super nostalgic when I flip through the pages of my full collection back home.

Library room of choice: Ref room. Dem high ceilings. (another gif)

What you think the sexiest animal is: The penguin is pretty sexy. Not like Adriana Lima sexy, but like Anna Kendrick sexy. It’s kinda awkward, but in a way that’s totally relatable. That’s kinda sexy if you ask me.

Guilty pleasure song: I actually really like that Rihanna song, Diamonds. That and Maroon 5 (Adam Levine makes me feel uncomfortable sexually).

Do you watch “Girls” ironically or unironically? As of August, I am unsubscribed to HBO (How will I watch the next season of The Newsroom now?), but you know, whatever. I’m above tv now, I only watch German Expressionist films and myself in the mirror.

Tonight’s personals feature Andrea Garcia-Vargas and Julia Wu. If either lady strikes your fancy, email personals@bwog.com for your ticket to love.

Name, Year, School, Major: Andrea García-Vargas, 2013, Columbia College, English and Creative Writing

Preference: Girl for guys most of the time, once in a while girl for girls with short hair, and a quirky, feminist attitude (read: any girl who is my doppelgänger).

Hometown: Here’s my spiel: born in Bogotá, Colombia, moved to Dublin, Ohio when I was 1, moved to Switzerland when I was 11, moved back to Ohio when I was 14. The backstory: my dad’s a professional coffee taster, a job which unexpectedly can take you and your family all over the world. Technically, my “hometown” is Dublin seeing as I’ve lived there the most time…but my heart lies with Bogotá.

Your dream date in seven words or fewer: Thrift shopping, foreign/indie films, pita with labneh

What redeems you as a human being? I’m very honest. I still read for fun. I like adventures. Also, I am a Speccie.

Library room of choice: Floor 2 of the Butler Stacks. All the gender, queer, and sexuality-related books you should imagine. Mmm.

What you think the sexiest animal is: Bonobo

Your guilty pleasure song: Too many to count. “Whistle” by Flo Rida is my most recent one. My one gripe with that is that he’s comparing his dick to a whistle…like, dude, that’s not flattering.

Do you watch “Girls” ironically or unironically? Unironically, but I’d rather watch Pretty Little Liars or Skins.

Historical hottie: William Barclay Parsons, the dude who co-founded Spec. He must’ve been a total cutie when he was young, and his little newspaper project made my life so much more meaningful 150 years later. But he was friends with Nicholas Murray Butler, so idk.

Dream date in seven words or fewer: Spinal tap + beer + cuddling + late night talking

What redeems you as a human being? In the Bible verse for Hannah (Mother of Samuel), her husband asks her, “Are you drunk in the temple again? You always do this.” I try and live by this philosophy every day.

Library room of choice: 6th Floor. Also my room.

What you think the sexiest animal is: An Icelandic Pony or a miniature husky puppy.

Guilty pleasure song: “So Yesterday” by Hillary Duff and all of Marilyn Manson. I’m a pretty embarrassing person.

Do you watch “Girls” ironically or unironically? Obviously unironically! If you say you watch Girls ironically, I will automatically assume you are stupid. Much like people who didn’t like “Cloud Atlas” or understand the Lost finale — you are dumb.

Historical hottie: Anne of Cleves. She’s the coolest of Henry VIII’s wives.

Click the jump for Peter’s personal.

Are your multiple late-night Columbia Admirers posts not getting the attention of that special someone in your 200-person lecture? (Hint: it’s probably because you’re describing them as a tall brown-haired person in skinny jeans who was taking notes and drinking coffee). Time to burst your anonymous bubble: Valentine’s Day is around the corner, and if you want to get the ball rolling on your romantic life we can offer something bigger and better than a Facebook tag: our annual tradition, your very own Bwog Personals post. Email personals@bwog.com with your unique, witty yet charming, individualistic answers to the questions below and your most flattering (or not) photo — we’ll take care of the rest.  Your smiling face will be presented , and interested persons can contact us for a real-life CU Admirers situation. If you catch someone’s eye or vice versa, Bwog will give the happy couple $10 to use towards their first date.
