Gratuitous Waste of Bandwidth, aka Photos
Me
or, Beth in all her many disguises
Me in Mexico City, on
top of the Torre Latinoamericana, 1998.
If I look a little zoned in this pic, it’s because my flight left at 3
am that day, and because 5 minutes before this was taken I had just had a gun
pointed at me. Ask me about that one
sometime, it’s one of many great stories from south of the border…
Me speaking sign
language at NHS Homecoming, 1999.
Not only am I semi-dressed-up in this pic, I’m at a dance (and I didn’t
even go to Prom!). Weird…
Me being my techie self
while stage managing “The Butler Did It” at NHS, 1999.
Me impersonating
Hamlet for ArtStock 2000, the arts festival I organized during my senior
year. I gave a poetry reading looking
like this. There’s also footage of me
reciting the “Alas, poor Yorick…” soliloquy in this getup. Scary, huh?
Me in SCA garb at
Nordleigh’s “Topsy-Turvy Troubadors” event.
My persona is Leonor Caminante, a 13th-century Spaniard. Recently, I replaced the crappy loaner garb
with a nicer dress that I actually own; here’s the new (and
more flattering) picture.
Me in my natural state,
lounging in my dorm room at St. Olaf.
Note the red Chuckie Ts (the SpaceGirl footwear of choice), the Mr.
Spock teddy bear, and the “I was normal once, I didn’t like it” poster…
Me in my favorite hat,
a picture taken for the lobby display for St. Olaf’s production of “Twelfth
Night” (for which I did lighting design).
A recent-ish picture
of me, in front of Old Main on the St. Olaf campus. Here, I’m wearing yet another beloved
article of clothing, my red trenchcoat (which I think makes me look like Vash
the Stampede and Mike thinks makes me look like “a refugee from the perky Matrix”).

ready to sing karaoke at our all-night graduation party, 2000. Left to right: me, Mikey, Orth, Andy. Yes, Orth is wearing a wedding dress; he
agreed to cross-dress if I would!
Me and various others
taking a break at the 2000 Minnesota Renaissance Festival. Back row, left to right: Sam, me, Andy. Striking a pose in front: Eustacio.
Me With Friends: College
or, a photo album of my beloved fellow Oles and our life on “the Hill”
Nikki and I hanging
out in Hill-Kitt, as was customary during our freshman year. Not only is Nikki brave enough to be my
roommate and live next door to 4 other gamer chicks, she was largely
responsible for scoring our nifty digs in the first place. Here’s another pic of us
at our friend Jenny’s birthday party.
Mike and I. Mike is our evil, sadistic Mage ST and one
of my very bestest friends at Olaf.
Here’s another lovely shot of my smiling face and
Mike’s butt.
Missy and I. Missy is a fellow gamer chick as well as my
platonic girlfriend (don’t ask). I love
you honey!
Mike, Rachel, and
I playing Twister in the Kildahl main lounge.
The Anti-Ditzes, six
roommates who pride ourselves on being smart, high-functioning gamer geek
women, in our lovely custom-made T-shirts.
Back row, left to right: Rachel, Nikki, Jenny. Front row, left to right: Anne, me, Missy. In Missy’s shirt (the cause of the strange
face): Mara, the “land fish.”
The whole group o’ freaks
(more or less) at our annual Christmas party.
Back row, left to right: Rachel, Mike, Jenny, Eric, Andy, Nikki. Front row, left to right: Missy, Iain, Caly,
me, Anne. In Missy’s hands: Mara. Not pictured: Noel.
