Random TIP InsAn(ne)ity
Ok, unless you know me, you're probably like, "Who is this? What kind of drugs is she on?" Well, I'm not on drugs (unless apple stickers count), but I'm Anne. I live in Texas (yee-haw!) and once, I went to a camp named TIP. This camp changed my life. Without TIP, I would probably be a different person.
I also formed some deep bonds there. Like, the way I connected with people there made me realize how superficial some of my friendships are at home. To EVERYONE: I love yall, keep in touch...or else... (pictures coming). These were the type of friends you keep forever...and I hope I will...
I also got pretty close to alot of other people. Living with people for three weeks makes for a entirely different situation... Just know that if you're reading this and personally know me, I love you and treasure you. TiP wouldn't have been the same without you.
Duke's Statue, a poem by Mike
TiP 1999
Three Girls, a Banana, and a Quad
The infamous banana that I used as a...um, nevermind. These were some of my friends from first year; they were in my class.
Me and Geoff dancing
So, Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire we may not be, but we had fun. Geoff was also at TiP 2000. The big thing Geoff was known by was his "stairs incident." Ask me about it sometime...
TiP 2000
Some Dance...
Same as above, only closer
During one of the dances, Harry's ex-RA, Jim, from Davidson came over. This picture is a bunch of people who knew Jim and then, me. Desiree, Jamie, Patrick, Jim, Billy, Harry, Me.
Sterling...
This is Sterling, who was Grace's roomie. She was really random, well, sometimes.
Grace!
This is Grace. We're like sisters, and we've known each other since first year. We've been in the same RAG all 3 years. Unfortunately, she's not coming back next year. :(
Beauty and the Beast
Me and Harry. Isn't that facepaint perfectly awful?
Which one has neater handwriting?
Hunter and Monica. I love both of them so much! Monica and I have been through a lot together, we're really close. And Hunter is the biggest sweetheart. Ok, so I call a lot of guys that, but he really is! He sent me the cow! (scroll down to Random TiP-related Stuff)
TJ's Underwear Egyptians!!!!
Second year I had the BEST RAG ever! We were all so close! And quite good with belts *cough* and boxers... Sterling, Robin, Sarah, and Grace.
TiP 2001
Our Birthday Partay!
We had a little birthday celebration, filled with fun, cheesy poofs, presents, confetti, and B. Duke Orgies (country style!)
Talent on Ice? I think so...
For Saturday trips, I (finally) got to go ice skating. Josh, Sarah, and Grace went with me! Here's Sarah and Josh.
Ok, so I admit I'm showing off a bit...
I'm a figure skater. Thus, the spiral position. (also called an arabesque)
The first of MANY Quadfest pics
Pegram is red and has been since I've been there. (3 years) Jessica, Me, Monica.
Girls on a Bench
Robin, Me, and Kirti on the Pegram bench, getting ready for Quadfest.
Pegram's Gals...
Same pose, different pic
Sonya, Ashley, Robin, Rina, Me, Whitney, Miranda, Grace, Ellie, Jessica
The Drag Queen and the Puss
Josh and me. No, he's not that much taller than I, he's wearing his heels/platforms. And he matches!
Ah, mystery event!
Mystery events are ALWAYS the best. This is my friend Paul, who was in Brown. Since Brown was throwing Quadfest anyways, he used his butt for a target instead of his head...Sexy, huh?
Me, I mean, B. Duke
My part in the Quadfest skit for Pegram was the part of the wise statue. Man, that tin foil got hot. And people wondered why I'm crazy. It's a good thing there wasn't any lightning...HUMAN LIGHTNING ROD!!! WOOHOO!
Mary Anne, Wanda, and the two Earls...(Alexa, Rob, Chris, and some guy I didn't know)
Mary Anne and Wanda's friends deciding what to do
The friends approach the statue
The statue advises...
Ding, Dong, the Earls are dead!
The five pictures above are those of our Quadfest Skit (written by Sarah). The basic pretense was "Goodbye Earl" by the Dixie Chicks, with a twist of TiP. Wanda gets a boyfriend (Earl)and neglects Mary Anne, so Mary Anne gets her own Earl. The other friends are disturbed by the inattention to themselves and the upcoming Quadfest, so they ask the statue for advice. Now, the statue comes to life when wrapped in tin foil in the early morning hours, so that's when they asked B.Duke for advice. B.Duke gives them a potion, which, combined with Blazin Sea Nuggets (an already lethal food, though I like them), will kill the Earls. The Earls die, everyone rejoices. We won second for it. Pretty good for our lack of acting skills.
Continuing traditions...
Close up of above
In honor of some old friends (and our skit), I tinfoiled the statue. sniff.
Random TiP-related Stuff
Holy Cucumber!
Before going to TiP 2001, I spent a week at Monica's. This is her relaxing...
But does it fit in the overhead bins?
Wow, Monica fits inside her luggage. How frightening is that?
Monica is Superman, the lead singer for Most Definitely
This is another of those don't ask, don't tell things. We were posted, but not really.
MOST DEFINITELY!!!
Most definitely we were crazy that night...Red Rum, Red Rum!!! Man, the Shining is scary. But it was ok, cuz we formed a band called Most Definitely. It's part Spice Girls, part Hanson, part MxPx, part Deep Blue Something, part Three Doors Down, part...every other band that we know of!
Moe!
This is the cow that Hunter sent me for Christmas. Cow Tippin w/ 4-Wheelers!
Top O' the Llama!
(blind)Sided by the Llama
This is the Llama, a tradition Josh and I are starting. It was a second term tradition, and we're starting a new one for first term. The llama is a symbol of TiP East Term 1 (or 2, if it's that term) that is currently an underground movement. The second term llama (an actual llama pinata) provoked a few "unfortunate incidents," so the llama is (officially) supposed to be confiscated if seen. But oh well. It's passed down from a fourth year to a third year who's returning to the same campus, same term the next year. I'm the current possessor of the llama, Josh gave it to me just to start it off even though he's a third year like me. I'll have to decide by talent show next year who to give it to...
Sarah's Pics
Alternative Wednesday Outfit
A picture of me and my best friend Robin. Here, I'm wearing my (in)famous "Man of Steel Outfit. Bassett had a cool bench
Chillin on Pegram Bench

Cheesy Poof Convo
Here, captured on film, is an elusive prey. Me and Robin having a cheesy poof convo in my room. 'Twas the stuff of legends. Wow, I look screwed up. On the top right, you can see my SIGNED deep blue something enlarged album cover. just thought i'd mention it.
Quadfest!!!! Like field day, only dorms compete against each other. One of the most memorable days in the entire term.
This is the only pic of me, Robin, and Monica together. They're probably my 2 closest TIP friends because we've been through so much together. I'm wearing Emily (my roomie)'s Target pants, Robin's wearing my cowboy hat, and Monica is being a pimp and a disco queen at the same time. Don't ask.
More Quadfest
Kirti (wearing my tank top) and Grace. They were roommates and really close, in case you're wondering.
Even More Quadfest...
Our dorm (pegram) color was red. that's why we're all wearing red. Lauran, Heather, Sarah (blonde), April, and Monica (who's showing that she is TRULY "talented").
Quadfest Skit
A new event in quadfest this year was the skit. Sarah (curly) made the skit up, based on Goodbye Earl. Fabulous skit. I was the statue Mary-Ann and Wanda's friends asked what to do. Also known as B.Duke, tinfoiled. Lots of inside jokes.
Pegram's Great Bench Theft
During their dorm entrance, Brown stole Spa's bench (even though no one but staff lived in Spa). After skit was over (and quadfest was over), Pegram carried the bench back. It was fun. I got on the bench and waved my beatin tin-foiled cane around.
Tin-Foiled Statue
In memory of some old friends, I tinfoiled the statue after the skit and bench migration. Some other people came and helped, and got in the picture too!
Quadfest Skit Outfit
This is me in my tinfoil outfit as I played a brief (yet shining) role as the statue. Let me tell you, I was baking in that thing. Of my own body heat!
Dance Pictures

Last Dance Pictures, the Sequel
Josh and Me. He designed my shirt/sari. If I look funkified, it's because I was crying because it was almost over.

First wednesday, pt. 2
Justin, Joel, Rajeev, Charlie, Will, Nick, and random legs and arms.
Bowling with Rajeev
About 5 of us went bowling (thanks Sarah!) and we once more got balls stuck in the gutter. Guess it's just an Underwear Egyptian mentality! But anyways, here's Rajeev.
Robin, I think Another one of Rob, I think.
These aren't very good pics. And they're almost the exact same thing. Oh well. *sigh* I did a lot of repeat pics, so don't feel obligated to look at every single one of them.
Kirti!
This is Kirti in Bassett (doggy doggy doggy! woof woof woof!) when we had the spades tournament.

Uh oh...naughty naughty!
Justin and Kirti are being bad... Quote of the day- Kirti-"Where are your legs going?" Justin-"Wherever my convulsing body takes them!"
