Dead body.
So, what are you doing after college?

Why does everyone here think having fun is a waste of time?

Flight.
Name: Hannah G.
School: CC
Year: 2008/09 (started with 08, took a year off)
Major: something useless
Hometown: Pistol Wavin’ New Haven, CT (but only I’m allowed to call it that)
Top three songs according to ITunes’ play count:
I deleted that playlist because it’s always wrong, but according to my Recently Played list, the last three songs I heard are: “Clint Eastwood” by Gorillaz, a cover of Franz Ferdinand’s “Take Me Out” by Scissor Sisters and “Redemption Song” by Bob Marley.
You’re trapped on a desert island with three foods—which are they?
Mangoes in any form, tortilla chips with lime, porterhouse for protein.
Describe your favorite pair of underwear.
I used to have a pair in a tacky flower print that brought good luck but it ran its course and I’ve been searching for a replacement ever since.
It’s 2 o’clock on a Sunday afternoon. Where can you be found?
Going on hour two of the four it will take me to buy groceries at Fairway. I spend a lot of time smelling fruit and checking the sugar content of tomato sauces.
Nightmare date in three words or less:
Flunitrazepam.
So, what are you doing after college?
Studying puppetry in an obscure foreign country.
When I first came to Columbia, I thought…
the administration would care about me (tear…)
TCBY or Tasti-Delight?
Pssh, I only eat real ice cream.
Flight, invisibility, or X-Ray vision?
Invisibility, definitely, because flying is easily simulated and who needs x-ray vision but superheroes and voyeurs?
Unusual talents?
None, just the usual ones. But I am unusually untalented at things like doing somersaults and riding escalators.
MySpace or Facebook?
I wish I could say neither…. Facebook is like the emotionally abusive boyfriend I just can’t bring myself to break up with.

@dear all y'all, i know you’re all really witty & everything, but when i asked if there could be queer personals, i genuinely wanted an answer–i didn’t know people were nominated, now i do.
your acting like that question was some sort of CRAZY OUTLANDISH ANTI-OPPRESSION-INSPIRED demand is a little upsetting… i mean, what kind of backlash is going on when talking about something outside of white heteronormativy is constantly made fun of?? do you seriously believe asking for nonstraight personals is too shocc-esque??
@i'm afraid you're underestimating the cynical snark that dominates the avg. columbians personality. it has nothing to do w/your cause. we’re just kind of jerks
@i'm gay, too... and I think that you need to get a life and, once you do, take it less seriously. if you can’t see the humor in what you’re saying (“white heteronormativITY”), you’re never going to make it. All that aside, Hannah’s a bombshell and if I weren’t otherwise occupied with my boyfriend, she’d be mine!
@macaca i would date hannah, but i’m currently tied up…and getting whipped by a filipino hairdresser named juanathan while being forced to scream “aray!!!!” (tagalog for “ouch”) while typing this. thank you bwog for allowing me to fulfil my sexual fantasy of being punished by a minority after being caught cruising personals :).
@hahaha agree #19. 3 and a half thumbs up for most apt use of the anonymity feature.
@Hannah- 2 words hun- Eyebrow Waxer.
@Hey! They seem nicely cared for. Sometimes strong eyelashes are nice.
@sure...but only on dracula (by the way, you’re aware eyelashes and eyebrows are different?)

@hey #17, really brilliant use of the anonymous comment feature.
@wow you’re an asshole. hannah’s really pretty.
@OHNOES! Bwog needs more multiculturalism! Where’s the queer engineers!
@hear hear! If the next Bwog personals doesn’t feature someone who is a gay minority midget amputee physics major, we should SHOCC their asses!
@amputee? They better be a double amputee but I guess even a single amputee is a step in the right direction
@whats the matter? are engineers and homosexuals devoid of the ability to pick someone up on their own?
@Bwog Staff #11, see #6.
#10, see “READ MORE” and please nominate all of your gorgeous/dashing or quaint/curious or smart/piquant or whatever/it really doesn’t matter engineer friends.
@i think these personals are too HETERONORMATIVE. open your mind, bwog.
@Dear bwog how about some non-useless majors in your personals features? Math? Physics? *real* engineering, god forbid?
@i love hannah
@John Well why don’t you ask her out, then?
@I love Hannah’s facebook assessment. So true.
@Bwog Staff We’d love to. Feel free to nominate yourself or your friends, of any sexual orientation.
@dear bwog perhaps in the future you could feature some non-straight people in your personals features??
@what! Maggie Moo’s is it! They throw ice cream at you.
@what is with all the complaints about formatting. i hardly notice anything.
@this post went from bad formatting to ugly. I’m not dating anyone in those ugly early HTML-esque frames. not until the 90s come back.
@Humph! Maggie Moo’s is everywhere, including my hometown. They’re like Cold Stone Creamery but lamer.
