Introducing...

J.T. York created almost all of the pseudonyms that I (and he) use to identify our peers.

J.T. York--A UCLA transplant who spends a lot of time not sleeping and still being a fully functional human being.  Enjoys computer games.
Tall Bear--Another California transplant.  Tall Bear is from UC Berkeley.  Unlike J.T. York he does sleep, although sometimes at his desk with his face in a book.  Loves mixing drinks.
Frenchie's Choice--A peer who boasts French lineage in her surname.  A social justice advocate, and cat lady. Came to HESA after an Americorp position in the Midwest.  Loves...cats?
Cardmaster Cider--Enjoys the finer things in life, such as bows, scarves, cider and demolishing people in card games.  Delightfully blunt at times, she loves to cause trouble whether or not she is winning a game.
Mr. Red--A game aficionado, simultaneously wry and sagely, Mr. Red doesn't always speak, but he always has something to say.  Loves swearing.
Dandy Woo--One of the few exuberantly cheerful individuals in the cohort.  Talkative and energetic.  Loves people.
Tokyo Hip Hop--A friend who teases me about being Japanese and not speaking Japanese.  Loves music.
Squeezie Wheezy--A dear friend back in Seattle.  A remarkable thinker, artist, and person.   Loves politics and argument.
Boss--As the name implies, a boss.  I don't even know where I would be or who I would be without Boss' guidance, friendship and love.  Loves kids and teaching.
