Meet Blake Burger

I also met Blake out at the intramural fields and randomly walked up to him. Blake is related to Davy Crocket, his great grandmother is even buried next to him. He has been to all 50 states, he drove to 48 and flew to Alaska and Hawaii.

Blake was born with an extra tooth that stuck out like a fang but got it removed. He got his first kiss his senior year of high school because he was pressured by all of the students at his high school. He won basketball homecoming and it was a tradition so everyone knew what he had to do. He played the violin in honors orchestra in high school but not anymore. He is currently the fraternity president of FIJI.

He has to have black-eyed peas and BBQ hot dogs on new years day. His Dad made the Dallas Cowboys football team as the kicker, but he kicked barefoot and they wouldn’t allow it. So he went to the CFL (Canadian football league) and tried out so he could be the quarterback and the kicker and played for them for 3 years. His dad ended up quitting because he wasn’t having fun so now he is a teacher.

Meet Stephanie Smith

I met Stephanie out at the intramural fields and she seemed like she’d be easy to talk to, so I approached her. Here is what I learned about Stephanie.

She is a die-hard Batman fan. She is a football manager for the OSU football team because she needed a PE credit and it seemed easy. But now she loves it and is happy about her decision. She has never broken any bones or received stitches or surgery.

Stephanie once traveled to Europe, Austria, Germany, France, and England all for an AP college class. She plays basketball, softball, track, and baseball. She likes to hang out with the guys more than she likes to hang out with girls. Stephanie loves cartoons, especially Loonie Toons and Bugs Bunny. For her 5th birthday her mom bought her a pony. She was an only child.

Stephanie has a lot of animals with interesting names. Her goat’s name is Oreo, her Hamsters name is Odie, her dog’s name is TwoTwo after her birthday (Feb. 2nd) and her fishes name is Bob because he is a bobcat. And finally, Stephanie has her entire family living in Oklahoma, including aunts, uncles, and cousins but they never really get together except for the holidays

Meet Will Shelton

Will Shelton was eager to have me interview him because he thought he had an interesting life. Here is a little bit about Will.

The first part of this semester, Will rode in the front seat of a truck while the driver, and many others, took a kid in the back of the truck through a car wash. He believes in ghosts. Will is related to Mary Todd Lincoln (Abraham Lincoln’s wife). He found out the relation through his great grandparents and their last name just so happened to be Todd as well.

He believes that he has bad luck because he got a DUI while driving sober at the wrong place at the wrong time. He was under 21 and because of the under age drinking there are different drinking limits. Will has an ace tattoo on his forearm, so people call him “ace”.

A neat fact is that he lives within a 1/2 mile from the worlds largest McDonalds. One year in high school, he went to Europe and bought his first beer ever in Spain out of a vending machine. And finally, his favorite food is pecan pie because his grandma makes pie for him every year.

Meet Jake Sims

Picture of Jake
Jake Sims believes that he has been accident-prone since his second year of college. Ever since then, he broke his hand, wrist, femur, and every finger on his hand. He has ripped his ear off wrestling and needed plastic surgery.

Jakes loves food and says he’s infatuated with it; especially with milk. One weird think about Jake is that he wants to go into the dairy industry when he graduates but he IS lack toast intolerant. He never sleeps and claims that he has strange cases of insomnia. Jake consistently gets only 4 hours of sleep a night.

Jake is a descendant of the Vikings and 1/4 Norwegian. He’s talking to Troy Ackman but claims, “he’s a dick”. Troy wouldn’t sign a football because his card value would go down. Jake has been to Cancun Mexico and has always wanted to go to Norway. His first kiss was to Cami Rehlin, but it was a forced kiss by his neighbor Julie Dunn. And finally, he is currently drying out a giant gourd (squash), just because it is shaped like a “J”.
