2008-02-18 14:50:04 Does Andrea Thomas really exist? —GregWebb
2008-02-21 01:13:14 Yeah I share the same sentiments as Greg. I'm starting to think she doesn't exist. —EmilyTung
2008-02-21 01:15:52 Furthermore, there is no "Dr. Dierks" listed on the UC Davis people search (only a "Diercks") and after cross checking with a current member of Prytanean, she does not recall a member by the name of "Andrea Thomas." —EmilyTung
2008-02-21 01:22:44 I just spoke with an individual who keeps records of members of Prytanean Women's Honor Society. Surprisingly, they told me that she is not in the records as an official member. I find this all really creepy. —EmilyTung
-
That's weird. I'll check with her and the guy who listed her accomplishments to find out if the name of a different group was put down by accident. —JoseBleckman
2008-02-21 01:26:39 I'm pretty sure everyone who lives at the Colleges has to do the leadership seminar thing. I wouldn't list that as some sort of note worthy accomplishment. —EmilyTung
-
Do you exist? —JoseBleckman
2008-02-21 01:29:54 So is this supposed to be the big election controversy of Winter 2008? That one of the candidates is not real? I am sure if you talk to the person who shot the photo for the elections website, he/she can confirm that Andrea exists... Unless that person is also involved in the conspiracy to trick everyone, haha. >_> —PaulAmnuaypayoat
2008-02-21 07:59:52 Even Joe's Presidential flyer of him stealing Obama's message doesn't feature Andrea... —JamesSchwab
-
Hope isn't copyrighted, Schwab. Welcome to the era of the new politics. —JoseBleckman
-
Obama stole his message of change from a kid named Spencer Higgins, true story. - Greg Webb
-
HAHAHAHAhaha That's on my top 5 list of ASUCD jokes! To clarify, Spencer is not on my list of top 5 ASUCD jokes, your joke is. -JamesSchwab
-
Good point, Greg. I'm fine with him and the Hillster borrowing from us though. It's a circle of good vibes, yo. —JoseBleckman
2008-02-21 08:28:46 Someone I know says they have class with her. —EliYani
2008-02-21 09:33:42 I did see here once, when she was picking up petitions with Bleckman. —PaulHarms
