"It's rewarding when you get a patch and I like being with my friends."
Also, these girls had no idea that "Savannah Smiles" cookies were called "Lemon Coolers" before. First signs that I'm getting older.

"What kind of instrument is that?"
"It's a baglama--a kind of Turkish instrument. I play middle eastern and Indian music."
"How did you get into that?"
"I grew up with my dad who built instruments. He was a real hippie. He played sitar on the streets of San Francisco."
"You know you should go around serenading people with that today."
"Oh, I didn't even think of that! This is sexy huh?"

"Is your hair normally pink or did you do it for Valentine's Day?"
"Some years I've done pink. I've also done purple, blue, red. I started out with blonde, but blonde is kind of boring. I like it, but it just doesn't work for me. It's a pink year."

"What's your favorite thing about him?"
"Everything."
"What's your favorite thing about her?"

Red apparel spotted our campus on Valentine's Day, but none stood out to me as much as the outfit this lady wore. I told her how much I enjoyed her style, and she immediately told me, "I went to a Mardi Gras festival in Venice last week and people asked me about my costume, but I told them that's just my every day wear."
"So you're really into fashion?"
"Well, I'm an artist. I am a former UCLA art student."
"What sort of art did you make?"
"I love to make etchings. They used to have a huge etching press from Germany at the Dickson Art Center which is now replaced by some awful place called Broad."
