Hey everyone, I just realized that it's been over a year of World of Dennis. Hopefully there will be many more. To help that happen, what do you, the readership of World of Dennis want to hear more about? What would you be interested in seeing more of? Also, if you have any sort of thought on any entry, please comment. It lets me know people are reading it, and it's also fun to see what people have said, however insignificant you may think it is. This goes especially for those of you who might read this because you tangentially got the link off the APDAforum or the facebook, or some other random place, and are too afraid to comment because you are embarrassed to be reading random person X's blog. Believe me, I read lots of random people's blogs who I only tangentially know, and I am certainly not going to look down on you for randomly reading my blog. It's kind of flattering actually.

Now, as many of my readers are debaters (or at least most of the people that comment) I'm going to again cater to APDA readers and provide you with a list of people I wish I knew better on APDA/in the debate world. All you people on this list, I find you somewhat intersting and wish I were better acquainted with you, but the situation hasn't arisen yet. Unlike the Hotlist these will not be ranked. (Note: your exclusion from this list doesn't mean I don't ever want to talk to you, it might mean that I think I am on my way to getting to know you, or that I 've forgetten you as my brainpower has decreased as the AM hrs wear on. In any case, if I would be on a similar list of yours, randomly come up and talk to me sometime either electronically or in real life, whenever I get back to a tournament....I promise I won't bite, and I'll probably tell people what a nice person you are.) (Note 2: If you are on the hotlist, you automatically are on this list, whether I mention you or not, cute people are always fun to talk to.)

Rory Gillis, Yale: Rory is a very nice guy, but he seems a little bit shy and a little mysterious. These are qualities that really intrigue me, and really make me want to get to know him better in the future.

Andy Bragin, Brandeis: I don't know why I don't know Andy as well as I seem to know other Brandeis people. It really makes no sense, he seems just as nice and as interesting as the other ones, but for some reason we haven't had the same interaction.

The Bates Team: There are a few of them that seem like really great guys, and I've really tried to make the effort to befriend them, with moderate sucess. They seem a very insulated bunch though, close to each other but not as much to the rest of APDA.

Dan Greco, P-ton: I got a small taste of Dan at Worlds in Malaysia, and he seems like someone who I should get to know better. He seems very earnest and genuine, which is a really great quality to have.

The Harvard Team: What an interesting bunch they are! They are all very quirky, insane, and lovable in their own ways, which is really the only way to be.

Matt Settle, NYU: So, I met him in Montreal, and had a really great time with him in the brief time we were there. I hope to see more of him.

Kevin Grinberg: I wish there were more of an opportunity to get to know Kevin, I think we would've been pretty good friends had my birth been a year or two earlier.

Amanda Griffen: She seems like a real sweetheart. She even helped us clean up after our banquet, which was really cool.

Again, if you were left off of the list don't feel bad, I've gotten tired and have to stop somewhere. If I've hung out with you outside of debate, you don't really qualify for this list.
