Name: Ingrid
School: CC
Year: 2008
Major: history
Hometown: Anchorage, AK
Top three songs according to ITunes’ play count:
On The Border… The Eagles
Tradewinds…. Pepper
Laid… Matt Nathanson
You’re trapped on a desert island with three foods—what are they?
Hot Tamales
Smart Start Healthy Heart (the brown sugar kind)
the new Starbucks breakfast sandwiches
Describe your favorite pair of underwear.
Black.
It’s 2 o’clock on a Sunday afternoon. Where can you be found?
Watching movies in bed
Nightmare date in three words or less:
“I don’t dance”
So, what are you doing after college?
Well if this personals thing pans out….
When I first came to Columbia, I thought….
What’s Duane Reade?
TCBY or Tasti-Delight?
TCBY
Flight, invisibility, or X-Ray vision?
Flight
Unusual talents?
Sadly, not even some of the usual ones
MySpace or Facebook?
My brother recently got MySpace and I joined, but the songs people
have on their pages drive me nuts. So…. Facebook.
Name: Josh
School: CC
Year: ’09
Major: Poli Sci / MEALAC
Hometown: Brick, NJ
Top three songs according to ITunes’ play count:
“What You Know” – T.I.
“Thriller” – Michael Jackson
De-Loused in the Comatorium (the whole thing) – The Mars Volta
You’re trapped on a desert island with three foods—what are they?
Brie, jelly, and hummus…for posterity
Describe your favorite pair of underwear.
They’re all pretty much the same considering that that I bought seven 3-packs of Fruit of the Loom boxers during a Wal-Mart shopping spree. If I had to choose one, it’d be the one with the bright red, Christmas plaid pattern because it’s like having a little Yuletide cheer wherever you go.
It’s 2 o’clock on a Sunday afternoon. Where can you be found?
E-board meeting with Helvidius Journal or rushing through Arabic homework
Nightmare date in three words or less:
Postmodernism, awkward conversation
So, what are you doing after college?
After a 5-6 year stint as a starving, disheveled grad student, I’ll get a PhD in Middle Eastern studies, don a tweed jacket with leather elbow patches, and become a professor with an affinity for sultry co-eds in search of “extra credit”…
When I first came to Columbia, I thought…
“God, I hate Nietzsche.”
TCBY or Tasti-Delight?
Both taste like ass. Get me a chocolate babka from Morton Williams, and I’ll be happy.
Flight, invisibility, or X-Ray vision?
I’m tempted to say flight because it’d be the most convenient, but I know people would think I’m really obnoxious whenever I used it. Like, “Oh, there goes Josh, flying to class again… What a fucking douche bag.” I think I’ll just stick with being racially ambiguous.
Unusual talents?
I cook, I sew, and during the summer, I fight crime at the beach. Oh, and people know me.
MySpace or Facebook?
Facebook…but in either case, I cringe whenever people describe themselves as “really random” or their musical tastes as “eclectic.”

@Aaaaaah Josh Matthews! You are my secret pseudo-crush.
@ingrid! you’re too good for bwog personals!
@one word: japornimation
@secret_admirer Ingrid….my Ingrid….how I long for thee.
@Josh's Lover Oh Josh, you know just how I like it. Please come to me tonight! I will have hummus and my nude body waiting for you! OH YES! OH YES!
@McFister Ingrid is cute, but she listens to The Eagles. It would never work.
@Anonymous Ingrid, this is hot and I love it. You should take your date to starbs.
@re: umm you’re probably beautiful and lovely, but i’d bet he was lying to you.
@err actually, I’m tall and swarthy, but no hard feelings
@ooh my! I heard Brick, NJ is the safest town in America. Is that where he got his beach-crime fighting skills?
@truthfully it’s a sad, sad, day when girls as amazing as ingrid have to resort to bwog personals because they can’t find a date any other way on this campus.
@yeah if only guys had the balls to ask out girls like her. especially because you know, girls have that condition where they’re too good to do the same
@umm I’m pretty sure people don’t sign up for Bwog Personals themselves. Their friends nominate them, and they embarrassedly go along with it.
I know this because I tried to get a date with Josh last week, and he told me he was booked through Christmas.
@Actually Yeah, that would probably work. Anyone that puts postmodernism as an awkward date requirement is A-ok in my book.
@ees so simpo i don’t understand why they don’t just date each other. come now.
@a brilliant idea That is a brilliant idea! Anybody who suggested that to the bwog in e-mail form should be given lots of money.
@not only should they date eachother, a bwog reporter should follow and report back.
@Aww! Ingrid is on Bwog personals! You would do well to at least talk to her, she is one of the kindest and easiest girls to talk to you will find.
@wow columbia has students from alaska? that’s a trip (literally…a long one).
@INGRID SO underrated!
@i know josh. he’s in cc with me!
@joshua, i love. bring it all back home, son.
@ingrid! i love you! i wish i were an xy..
@mcbizzle f0' josh is one of the nicest people around
@hey alaska i’d dance with you
@josh might be the most bearable/likeable person so far amongst the personals
(i don’t want to date him though. i’m not gay)
@smitten so you’re the cute redhead i’ve been seeing everywhere…
@haha josh. you and your chocolate babka.
