Joan

Joan is another of those people I didn't meet until my Senior year - in this case, it was during the Fellowship Retreat and I was looking for people to play with. I wandered into a room and said, "Er, anyone want to play a game of Hear-" but before I could finish a whirlwind of destruction tore across the room tripping over chairs and sending tables careening across the room. Coming to a stop before me, Joan composed herself, blinked a few times, and asked diffidently, "Oh, are you playing Hearts? I may be interested." And so, I met the resident Hearts player of IV.

While I found Joan amusing, the first time I began to vaguely respect her was when she wrote the Freshman skit for the InterVarsity Senior Night, which was a play on the Wizard of Oz. Not only was it pretty funny, but I was cast as the Wicked Witch of IV, which mightily amused me, enough that I eventually managed to pick up a copy of the script. Not that ALL her skits are great (COUGH COUGH!!), but she continues to show enough promise that the jury is still out whether or not I vaguely respect her. Her hyperactive performance during one skit, however, certainly earned her points.
Note: Joan has two unique characteristics. She can pull up the "Lost Joan Look" on demand, which is an expression of abject confusion and terror unequaled by any in IV (although Laura and Gracie sometimes come close). The other characteristic is she makes neat squeaking noises when you bounce her off walls. Try it sometime and you'll see I'm right! (PS No one give the address of this page to Joe!)
Joan can occasionally be coaxed into playing a game of Hearts now and then, but ever since she got involved with Joe Main and his wind tunnel in Latrobe, we've seen scant signs of her since she has some semblence of a life now! Presently, Joan holds the Second In Command position of the Aging Professionals' Club and ends up smoothing things over for the club since Dictator For Life Justin is less than diplomatic at times.
