About Me: |
Dohyun is a fan of the television dramas House and Monk. Blogging and meditation are his mood managers. |
Seonkyoung describes one of her dreams as traveling, "while talking to good friends with some liquid." |
In her first year at Alabama, Dianne learned that Bear Bryant is to Tuscaloosa what Elvis is to her hometown of Memphis; they may be dead, but they are spoken of in the present tense. A self-proclaimed BBQ snob, she continues her hunt for "really good Bama BBQ." |
