WIL WHEATON dot NET: 1.5

Sounds like you had a great time ;)

another great story!

Nothing like watching yourself address a crowd!

that's a good one...

Thanks for coming to our Formal Dinner. We thought Abe was bs-ing us, but he really followed through. I hope we didn't scare you too much with our cameras.

Great reply to the guy who introduced himself as you. You have a great sense of humor, dude.

Hey Wil. I talked to you briefly tonight; I was the guy that told you I watched "Stand By Me" last night. We talked briefly about the DVD documentary. It was awesome having you at dinner tonight; it would be delightful to have you come again. Our regular dinners are definitely a lot more fun/wild/crazy :) Anyway, take care!

I completely relate with how you feel regarding college, and longing to be there, and feeling out of your depth around some people. I thoroughly enjoy reading your journal - not because you're famous or anything like that, but because I find myself nodding in agreement and relating to a lot of the everyday things you talk about. You're witty and intelligent, and you write up a fun read. We're only a couple years or so apart in age, in the same generation or so. I know what it's like to make a pop culture reference or crack a joke -- and have it fly over friends' heads because it's before their time.

Sounds like a great time! Time seems to pick up speed..

Wow.... It's strange to hear the nervousness coming from the opposite side. I never talked to you (along with a lot of other people, many of whom really wanted to). Two reasons: 1) Other people idolize you much more than I do/did 2) I was nervous. Of course, reason 2 is probably much more of the reason. Anyway, you've got to come back and visit again. You're the coolest celeb I've had the chance to see into the mind of.

Rock on. Cal Tech's a really neat school (and I'm not saying it because I go there. I don't).

need conclusion to vegas story please :)

Playing jokes on people is fun! I hope that RA gets those guys back just as well as they got her.

I've been having those "Did I miss something by not going to college?" feelings myself too. There are so many really cool things to learn, and I would love to learn all of them. But, to be honest, the structure of it kind of scares me.

Glad you had a fun dinner with cool people.

omg wtf bbq!!! Abe has only one roommate, you know. The other guy was just perusing our vintage Playboy magazines (for its classic articles). The real roommate (me) was the one 'casually dressed' in a Hawaiian shirt when you and Shane materialized early. We were just checking your web site then, so the timing was really uncanny.

Thanks for writing 'I am not retarded' with your autograph on your picture from "Jane White is Sick and Twisted"! Come back anytime. You can even bring Lady Wheaton.

Wil, Wil, Wil... I would expect that you would know the difference between being a smart person and being an educated person. You don't have to be one to be the other. So stop thinking that those people are smarter than you. They may be good at physics and boring stuff like that, but you actually use your brain to look at yourself, the people you have relationships with, and the world...

The fact that you not only sensed the kinship in that group of people, but recognized it for what it was and could put it into words shows your insight you have when it comes to people. Many people would come out of there and know in the back of their minds that there was something different, but not be able to verbalize what it was.

I think that being gifted the way you are is far more valuable that being Mathematician George Frankly with Mathnet on Square1 TV.

The way you reflect on events in your life and write about them speaks of your intelligence.

Then again, for all I know your wife writes all this stuff and it's all a ploy to get you your own fanboys. I haven't heard or seen an actual interview with you. Ever.

Kinda makes you think...

Wil, great story. Loved reading it. So where is the picture? ;)

This is my first visit to your site. I finally got a hair up my ass, so I decided to check it out. Hehe, not that "OMG!!! I HATED YOU ON STTNG!!!"...I'm just a total lazy ass who is devoted to too many websites and admining too many boards. And, well, I had such a HUGE crush on you when I was younger.

Um, yes, now that's out of the way, I think it's pretty cool how you keep this blog, and you share your life for others to see. I didn't think you to be some pretentious jerk like a lot of actors/ex-actors are, and this blog certainly shows what a great guy you are. I'll definitely have to keep up on things, so I hope you don't mind while I stick around. ;)

I decided to finally check out your blog because I've heard how cool of a guy you really are on Fark, and this just proves it. I think it's great that you don't mind "sticking it all out for everyone to see". I could only wish that more thespians/former thespians were as down-to-earth as you. So I really hope you don't mind me sticking around here. I'd like to see what else you have to say.

And does it also help that I had a very big crush on you as a young girl? Hehe, I thought it might. Of course, I'm sure you hear that all the time.

Bah, damn. Sorry, Wil. T1 connection I may have, but it's still so shitty. I thought it ate the other post. Sorry about that, man.

Read all those comments up there ^ Wil, *then* tell me people don't think you're smart and cool and stuff.

:)

Glad to hear the Rudds treated you right! I'm from Blacker Hovse, class of '97. And I could have told you not to worry too much about the small stuff... even at dress dinners, most Techers don't really notice a few wrinkles! Now, if you'd been talking one of the fancy fundraiser faculty and associate shindigs, that's another matter...

I agree with ionicus, Wil. If you weren't the intelligent, witty and warm man you are, the majority of the people that are regulars here just wouldn't bother. Don't ever feel as though you need to live up to someone else's standards, your own work just fine for you.

And if all else fails, dude, you were on STAR TREK!

http://www.startledfrog.com/beretwearingelitist/

Hey there Wil,
Glad you had a nice time. It's nice to read about one of our social events from a non-Techer perspective. Please feel free to come by often. You'll get to talk about all the stuff you didn't get to talk about tonight, and you'll get to get your host in trouble if you do something bad at dinner, like throwing rolls during dinner (hint hint...) ^_^

/me drinks coffee

mmmmmmmmm education

computer science and journalism it is for me :P

i know that learning for knowledge feeling very well...but thats the interesting bit isn't it...you think "i will never be able to do *that*" and the ping! 8 months later you look back and you're nearly there. Until you find out that there is a ton of other stuff waiting...but those look-back-moments when you know you positively *DIDN'T* know these things 3/6/9/12 months (tick applicable) and you now *DO* are something really precious.

Sounds like a lovely time, glad you enjoyed yourself. Usually the times we work ourselves up into a nervous wreck end up being some of the best times of our lives. For instance, I have to go to the dentist today... I'm nervous (I hate the dentist) so maybe something cool will happen and he'll bring out a guitar and we'll jam for awhile... perhaps not... but eh... anything to make the time go past a little less painfully. Peace!

why mention that you took a picture of this girl if your not going to post the picture of this girl?
dude i hate that.
please post the pic.

now that i think of it, i realize how fucking cool that last post would be if you put the pic up, i mean think about it, it would then become "mixed media" bah

Glad to hear you had a good time at dinner, when i was reading the post before i couldn't understand why you were so nervous.
Lookin forward to seeing some pics that you took (or that people took and scanned/emailed to you).
Oh, and tell Ferris to take the day off.
*Hopefully that's not a pop-culture reference that'll go over too many people's heads*

I'm confused. You got invited to eat at a college fraternity house? Why is this an honor?
Want to come to Johnstown, PA, to eat at the Delta Chi house? Well, they don't actually have a place to eat, but they'll take you to the student union. Well, they'll direct you to the student union, I mean, they won't PAY for you or anything

sounds to me like you had nothing to be nervous for afterall....

and the way you handled yourself with the RA?

cool man...

you're a class act mr. wheaton...

do people still really actually expect you to be the yound wunderkind you played on TNG?
that would be pretty hard to live up to all the time...
i think it must be pretty reassuring when they get to finally see the real you...and like you even more than the character...

cheers wil

Tyson

Hehehe. That was very entertaining, you have a really nice way with words. Thank God your pants dried... it's worse when you've just spilled a generous amount of coffee on your (white) pants at an outdoor gathering (went home, couldn't be bothered to go back to the party...)

I think I enjoyed the comments from students at the event as much as I enjoyed the original story.

But, umm, Jeffrey... if you haven't read an interview with Wil. Ever. .... then, you need to go one blog entry down to "1 wish, granted" and click the link.

Jo duuuude, just read the article on the onion and saw the photo there and holy shiat! you're getting wrinkles! heh heh!

nice interview though :)

It was SOOO awesome to have you, Wil. It was quite a good time.

Thanks for coming! And like Libin said, feel free to come by another time, we'd love to have you!

Damn!

Now I want to go back to college!

LOL Hey, Wil, you used the word "circumnavigate"--that makes you pretty smart in my book! ;-)

Hot RA Magazine...Oh man, I had to use every bit of strength not to snort out loud when I read that part (I'm in the library)!!!! I know exactly what that girl felt like, 'cause I would've been making the same threats, lol!

OK, I wandered through AcronymFinder trying to come up with what "DG" might stand for, and although it could be any number of things, I'm going to assume "Dirty Genitals" or "Dangerous Goods" - Am I close at all?

intellegence is not one of the things they teach in college...it is possible to be a learned person without ever having attended an institution of higher education...for example abraham lincoln.

Perhaps it's already been said (I didn't read through all the comments) ... I was always academic (did well in school, academic scholarships, etc) and the people I know who make me feel DUMB never went to college. They've taught me more about living than college ever did. I don't think I used college to its potential, but it gave me an education, which gave me the ability to get and keep a job. But I've recently been seeing how little I know. Can I get a scholarship to the college of life?

a little off the topic but

http://www.eonline.com/Features/Features/HarryPotter02/index.html?fdfour3

i didn't know you knew harry potter!
heh

You know what?? I'm so happy that you like LOTR!!! I'm in love w/ LOTR myself! I hate to admit that my first reason was b/c of Sean Astin. HOTTIE!!!!!!!! Anyway, I'm gonna watch you on Star Trek tonight!! Go and kick butt!! ~~*Gooniegirl*~~

Your description of getting ready for the dinner at Cal Tech reminded me of how I feel every year at Back to School Night getting ready to face a room full of parents.

I may have done the college thing, but I've probably learned more in my life from my grandmother than from anyone else. And she's only got a high school diploma from night school.

Agree with other comments that college education != smart. However, it's never too late to pursue it if it's something you want to do. Most major universities have evening and/or weekend programs especially for working adults. I'm finally about to graduate just shy of 20 years after I was originally supposed to. It has been kinda cool to do it for myself since originally it was for parental/societal expectations and all. I think I actually got more out of it the second go round than I did the first.

Wil:

Sounds like you had a good time. You'll
just have to try to remember that the next
time you get nervous and have a "great time"
every time you get invited to these things! :)

I don't think many really expect you to be
Mr. "super-genius" Wesley Crusher. After all,
who did they invite "Wesley" or "Wil" ???

I see a lot of comments above asking for the
picture of you and the girl but I would think
that she has probably been embarrassed enough
already and besides, Wil probably broke the
camera since he was in the picture *EVIL GRIN*

-Matt

Would have done anything to be that RA at that very moment...(I had the biggest crush on you as well) Ahh the memories!

"The door begins to breathe."

:)

Hey wil,
dont feel bad about missing out or not being smart enough around the college crowd.
i went to a year and a half of college. it was alot of fun, but i had a little too much fun and got bored taking classes **curse of taking advanced classes for no college credit in highschool** and ran out of money because my mom didnt make enough money for me to get good financial aid **how dumb is that**
now i have a boyfriend that works at microsoft and we're constantly doing things/hanging out with people who work there. you think going Cal Tech and having dinner at a frat house makes you feel like you dont fit in for not being smart enough try having a dozen friends that all work for microsoft except you playing board games/RPGs. the strangest part of this story is that i've known some of these people for about 6 months now and last week they asked me what do i work on at microsoft. so i guess that if your smart it doesnt matter if you went to college or not. it's about what you know and can talk about with the crowd your with. some of these people are older than my 22 years and i make jokes/quotes that are too old for them to understand. :)

oh and one last thing. i hadn't seen an episode of ST:TNG until my boyfriend bought the dvd boxed sets. unless you count the one i was forced to watch at a friends house when i was 14 or 15 and we made out so that i didnt have to watch it.

anyway dont feel bad about the college thing. it's hard, repetitive and too damned expensive

i hope to be posting again sometime.

peace

College was fun...so much fun that I went back to get my masters...and I'm sure ill go back again to get my PhD. So if you do decide to go to college, I commend you...you learn a lot...even out of class (in between the classes). Glad to see you enjoyed yourself at the dinner...and while I'm suprised at how nervous you were about going to this dinner...at the same time I'm not suprised...what you were feeling was quite normal.

For anyone who thinks the seven Hovses at Caltech are fraternities, check out http://www.admissions.caltech.edu/beyond/housing.htm
Basically, the entire inbound undergraduate population does the equivalent of a Rush Week (called Rotation instead of Rush) when they arrive in the fall, and everyone is placed into one of the Hovses. They're a cross between dormitory/social club/support group/extended family/fraternity/sorority and they're all co-ed. Even if undergrads move off-campus, membership in their Hovse (or Hovses, since some students apply for multiple memberships later in the academic year) is a primary structure of undergraduate life.
And no, the v in Hovses isn't a typo on my part... the buildings actually have engraved nameplates done in an alphabet which uses v for u, and the habit caught on. :-)

Wil, you really need to seek professional help for those self-esteem issues. I understand psychosis makes for more interesting blogs, but you're okay, dude, relax. People like you.

You need a stiff upper lip to cope with standard issue British teeth.

Fortunately I have both. Its nice to be able to snag food on them for later consumption. You never know when you may be dropped inventory-less in the desert.

Caltech is beautiful. I tried to get in, and didn't make it. The people who get to go there need to know how lucky they are. That dinner sounded so fun!

I'm glad that you enjoyed Caltech, and at the same time sorry that Buttock House was the first to think of inviting you to dress dinner. Definitely hang out some in Ricketts Hovse next time you get a chance (if the administration hasn't scoured the place of all personality by then).

I've been tromping around campus since my wife is back to school. Mostly I wonder how we're going to pay her tuition.

After that I wonder how much like a leetle keed I looked when I was undergrad.

I was wondering what some of the before-you-were-born techie references could be:
1. "My TRS-80 has the 64K memory upgrade"
2. "Then the space shuttle blew up"
3. "My college gave out 3.5" computer disks at the home football game so that the nerdy student body would attend, and the students threw them back on the playing field."
4. "I must have played Intellivision for 8 hours straight"
5. "SHALL WE PLAY A GAME?"
6. "'Entertainment Tonight' has previews of the new Star Trek series!"

Well, I'd probably come up with some better ones, but Wil's blog is really only my second job. Back to Work.

Later.

Too fun! I bet you made that RA's year. When I was an RA back in the day, I had your pics up in my room. I was looking through my college photo album and low and behold there was a pic of me standing next to a picture of Unca Willy. :)

Reminded me of when my freshman roommate was ill. I knew she was really ill with fever when she said my Wil posters were speaking to her.

I can honestly,and proudly say, that in my 21 years of being I have never picked up an iron. Probably couldn't turn the damn thing on. At home my mum did it then, as luck would have it, when I arrived at university I was placed with a hygiene freak, who finds illegal to just let things lie under things or hang up to make them go flat.
See you're not the only one who can't work an iron :)

I would have gone with the Star Wars tie, myself. Glad you had a good time. :o)

You youngsters...

1. My girlfriend hated _2001, A Space Oddesy_, she said she didn't get the ending.
2. Man! When I took my card deck out of the reader, I dropped it and there were cards all over the place, I'll NEVER get them back in order.
3. My Mom watches that Watergate shit on TV all day, every day.
4. What's your draft number? My brother's birthday is the twenty sixth of December and his is, like, SIX or something - he's sure to go if he can't get a college deferment.
5. I'm staying up late to watch the video from Apollo 17

Get used to it, Wil, for some of us college is a l-o-n-g ways back and we still wish we could go back.

"Standard Issue British Teeth" indeed. My half-English boyfriend, who spent eight years of his young life in severe orthodontia, is chuckling even as I type this. But then, what else would one expect from a country that thinks braces are what hold your pants up? ;-)

Hey Rob, that's pretty funny. I'm still laughing about the 2001 thing. I figure that these items run from 1968 to 1974, so how long were you in college? [g]

Card reader. I remember kids empying the "chad" bins to use the little flecks of paper that had been punched out as confetti at sporting events. When I was about 5, I thought ALL confetti had little teeny numbers printed on it.

Oh, great story, Wil :) I'm so glad that you had a good time. I'm sure that you are so much fun to hang out with. :)

British.....Teeth?

BRITISH TEETH!!!!!!!?????

I take that personally.

My Nation takes that personally.

Its only the Royal Family who have the camel teeth gene.

That because its a bad idea when cousins marry.

Excellent article. You can never have too many fanboys/girls in one room.

Heh I love that line about Hot Rah Magazine.

Wil -

You never cease to amaze me. You tapped into my geeky college-longing vein. Ahhh, to study and take classes at a comfortable pace while living on campus and having the best time of my life. Ahhh, to find my vocational "calling" and study to prepare myself for the career of a lifetime.

The reality was my college experience sucked: I spent the first year partying like an idiot. Then, for the next 3 years, I worked 3-4 jobs and took a full load of classes. Which allowed me to barely graduate with 2.5 average because I wanted/needed to graduate in 4 years. My degree -it's in Accounting (practical enough) and yes...I am a CPA.

I want a do-over. (I love that show.)

I start graduate school in March/2003 for Software Engineering...but it won't be the same. Just don't get me started on the whole prom experience I skipped out on to go smoke weed.

Took a break from my psych paper to come and check your site...as I pry my eyes open from writing my fourth paper this week, I read your second to last paragraph. Thanks Wil, I needed that, at times like this it's easy to forget...

You can always go back to school...I ended up finishing my degree in my late 30's (in film of all things) and though it was a bit difficult, it was worth it.....

I have to say that you are one great writer. These stories of yours just flow....

Bernie

Thanks a lot for coming, Wil - many in the house were excited to hear you were coming, and it was nice to see Abe was serious.

Please do come over for a regular dinner sometime; it was great to have your company :)

"...and I wistfully long to be in college..."

You could always become One of Us... you know, the perpetual graduate students who just couldn't get enough of college life the first two or three times around... (;

I can identify with your feelings of inadequacy in showing up at a school dinner - i'm a returning student myself, and after six years away i'm finally getting back at it - God knows, i was colossally nervous the first week - more so than i could ever remember being, even in the worst days of high school.

Glad to hear it went well. It's doing just fine for me, too, thankfully.

Heh, Shane... yeah, he says he graduated in '92, but I saw him around Ruddock a lot and I *started* in '92...

Did they still have the Wheel of Death in the dining room? It was next to the crest, near where the president sits, while I was there (and, if I remember correctly, still there when I visited in 2000 or so). If so, I'm surprised Shane didn't strap you into that contraption.

-dac ('96 Rudd)

hm, does it count that i still AM a young girl (17) ^_^ Although i didn't start watching Star Trek (12) for the hunks, 'twas a nice surprise.
-peace and long life

The Wheel of Death was destroyed by the Moles last year. We got back at them this year by stealing all the lightbulbs from their shower stalls (they have coed bathrooms and separate coed showers). I guess it wasn't a fair trade. Thanks for coming, Wil.

Wil,
I know people with PHD'S who learn alot of stuff from people with GED'S. It works both ways. When I got my BA I had more questions than answers. If you look and listen close enough you can learn stuff from almost anybody. Alot of times education shows you that you just have alot of learning to do. The level does not really matter and you will still have a great time.

FG

Will! You're so hot!

Wil Wheaton in a Suite and--Tie :/ :O
Whoda thunk it!!!
Man where's a Camera when you need one--- I bet you looked good----

Hot RA Magazine-- good one !!!!;)

I don't get the point of the invite there...
Did they want "TV's Wil Wheaton" at a dinner or was there a personal relationship that got you invited?

In some ways, it reads like -
"TV PERSONALITY INVITED TO DINNER! CROWD PANDERS TO BELOVED STAR!"

Great story, Wil. I can just picture you running around trying to get your clothes ironed. But was this a last minute invite? You should have set something aside the night before (yeah, like I do that myself).

If your clothes were cotton, I would have spritzed the wrinkles with water (I have a sprayer just for this purpose) and then toss them in the dryer for minute or two. Or I use a hair dryer if there aren't too many wrinkles. The hair dryer is better on wet pants, no shiny spots. I hate having to get out the ironing board. Most of the time I end up ironing on the bed.

And, excuse me, but you wish you were nerdier than you are already? I don't know about that, you seem plenty nerdy enough for me.

Can someone explain what is a DG? A Delta Gamma member? No, that can't be it, that's a frat, not a sorority.

It's nice to see folks from the dinner commenting. Come back again, it's a fun place here.

Quite a reunion.Speaking of which I need to get one arranged soon.( I havent seen alot of my ol buds in a long,long time.)=D

Sounds ike you had a great time :)

I think a lot of Wil's jokes are funnier in a "you had to be there" sort of way.

Hot RA magazine is not funny.

LOL! (I mean, Laughing Out Loud!)

OK. So what gives with all the "I hated you on Star Trek" crap.

Wesley was cool!

Just happened on the blog WW. Decided to read one post from every month of WWDN. Your writing has gone from "sorta OK" to "extremely well written!" Not that I'm the expert or anything. But I am a consumer, so I know best!

Hey. If "Farking William Shatner" can do it...
:-)

http://www.michaeldemmons.com

What did you say your name was again? Bill, or something? Are you a student here?

Wil:

Ain't college grand? Good to hear it didn't turn out to be the nerve-wracking torture you were THINKING it was going to be (that comeback for the "I'm Wil Wheaton" guy was elegant!).

Granted, I don't have a tech degree, more of a stand-up philosopher than anything else. Well, OK, a couple of tech certifications "after the fact". But after reading your story I might actually consider ATTENDING one of those dinner seminar things the alumni association keeps advertising.... that, and now I miss how much freekin' FUN college was (even if we didn't have fraternities, we still partied way too much).

As for the "Weasley" role in ST:TNG, don't sweat it. The child prodigy is SUCH a hard role to do, and not a lot of folks really appreciate it anyway (except other child prodigies possibly.) They even tried it on the (second? third?) season of Battlestar Galactica, and the show bombed anyway. Performance-wise, you've always been on top of the game, from Stand By Me onwards... so keep at it.

May you score a major role in a mondo-wacky action flick where Elfman scores the music! (that way you can possibly get some face time in with him... I sense you'd really enjoy that.)

- Deacon Blues -

Hey Wil!

Okay, first off, this is the first time posting to you here (or anyone else, for that matter), so hi. Nice to make your virtual acquaintance.

So here's the thing: I've never heard of you until about a week ago. (Yes, I'm a traitor to my generation - I'm only a few weeks younger than you.) Last spring my grandfather, my best friend, died very suddenly. He is the person that I have always gone to for everything, but I have never needed him more than I do now. My husband is over in Afghanistan with OEF and we haven't been together in far too long and won't have Christmas either. Without my grandfather here, I haven't really had anyone around who truly understands what it is I'm going through with the war and the stress that goes with it. So my roommates, who were trying to help, went off and rented probably ten movies they thought would put me close to him. They brought home, among other WWII movies, "December" because they thought it would be the closest thing to having grandpa there. Let's just say that now I have most definitely heard of you.

I'm a nerd (nerds are in ... they are still in, right?) and have a habit of needing to know everything I can when I find something that interests me. So I zoomed around on the computer for a while until I stumbled across this place. Expecting to find yet another run of the mill site, I didn't get too excited. Then I started reading ...

Wil, you have brought more smiles to my face this week than anything else! I've read all of November and just about all of October, with a few other things scattered in there. This will sound very silly, but thank you. Thank you for not having "the best advisors" when you were younger - It got me through a week like you wouldn't believe.

As for your dinner at Cal Tech - NICE! And I chime in with the people that are telling you to remember the difference between smart and educated. The educated ones just got their gold stars and grades for things that they could have learned without the guy in the front of the class telling them how to do it. That's the only difference. (It's just too bad it took me 5 years and $18,000 in student loans to figure that one out.)

Anyhoo, I just wanted to say thanks. Thanks for putting a smile on my face and, in a roundabout way, getting me through a week that I didn't think I was going to make it through.

Keep up the wonderful work here and everywhere. I look forward to good things from you in the future.

(after reading Jo's post above)

That is just... so cool. I'm glad she found this site, and that it is what it is. I'm glad I did, too.

Hey, two great lines in one evening. Not bad, very funny.

I love reading your journal. I *so* love reading your journal. If your book was nothing more than your journal printed on 20lb paper and spiral bound, I would buy it.

And now you've made me more nostalgic for Santa Cruz than I already was. *sigh*

I guess you won't be entering for this then:

(posted on Fark)

The thing is Wil... polyester IS back in fashion. =)

oh my god!!!!!!!!!!

weird how i found this!

i used to love you growing up. don't know how it began, but i did watch Stand by Me 80,000 times and watched star trek whenever i could.

i still remember how i sent a pic of me in my pep squad uniform to you...yeah, like a guy near the age of 20 is going to go after a 13 year old...unless you're Bill Wyman, and in that case i would have been considered too old.

and i still have two of your autographed piccies. and i was proud of my Big Bopper collection of posters on my wall of which you were the featured artist. i took a couple of pics of them. i think one i got was of my sister picking Sean Astin's nose.

now i'm the ripe old age of 27. but looking over this website, i'm glad that there is something fundamental that really hadn't changed in those years, and that would be the sense of humor. it would be traumatic if you had turned into a dour asshole or something.

anyhow, take care.

I just found your site -- how cool! Sounds like your evening ended up well, even if you were nervous at first. Too bad you had to leave so soon.

Trish

Hey Wil - I am an engineer and it doesn't matter if you don't know engineering or not...you're still cool.

Glad it sounds like you had a great time!

Gotta know what "DG" is. Please please inform us.

I downloaded Aquis IE Speaker (Tech TV/call for help). It will read portions of a website that you highlight. I used it on this entry and it was very funny. Try it.

Wil,

You'll probably think I'm off my rocker, but my friend, Analisa, and I are big fans/groupies. Would you ever make a shirt or hat that we can proudly wear? Because I would so love to wear you on my body. Um, hope your wife doesn't kick me for that. But yeah, we'd love to wear you. Think about the prospects!

You know, Wil, I think you'd be a great student (you'd never know it, but yes, I'm on the other side of the lecturn). You'd get a lot out of the experience. But I guess your schedule is a bit of a problem. Here's hoping you get a lucrative role so you can coast and take courses for a few years! My god, you're so young - stop thinking of it as something that passed you by, please!

I liked the story. I can only imagine how you felt. Also glad I found your website.
