ME: Hey guys! Thanks for joining me today!
LANCE: Hey.
DESHAWN: What up?
TIGER: Thanks for having us.
ME: Introduce yourself and tell our readers something about you.
DESHAWN: I'm a sophomore at Latimer and I'm a running back for the Red Raiders. I'm majoring in architecture and I have a couple of classes with Lora-Leigh Sorenstein. She's pretty cool, but I have to stay focused on football and don't really have time for girls, even if they are cute.
LANCE: I'm on the Latimer swim team and spend most of my time between class and the natatorium. Roni Van Gelderen and I have had some interesting races in the pool. She's an amazing swimmer.
TIGER: David here. I'm on the Latimer golf team, so my fraternity brothers call me Tiger. I'm a sophomore in Phi Omicron Chi. I met Jenna on her first day of class. What a cutie she is! She's a lot of fun and I can't wait to hang more with her.
ME: Now...all three of you make your appearance in ZETA OR OMEGA?, but the book's really about the girls mostly. How do you feel taking a back seat to the ladies?
LANCE: Well, we're in THE NEW SISTERS a lot and readers really get to know us.
DESHAWN: (shrugs) I'm focused on football, like I said. Winning the game and getting seen by pro scout. That's what matters.
TIGER: I have a bigger role in ZETA OR OMEGA? so, you know, whatever. It's just great to be around such fun girls and help tell their stories.
ME: DeShawn, Lora-Leigh tells me that you also have a real talent in art. Can you tell us about that?
DESHAWN: (shrugs again) It is what it is, you know? You need to know how to draw if you're an architect, so it blends together. If I get in the NFL, I can't live off that forever. I just want to be able to make some good money and take care of my family since they've taken care of me.
ME: That's really great. Tiger, are you going to do anything with golf in the future?
TIGER: Not sure. Right now, I just like hanging with the guys and doing stuff at the frat house. I figure I've got the rest of this year to sort of figure out where I'm going.
ME: And Lance, what's your major?
LANCE: I'm studying Criminal Justice right now and I love my Geography class, as well. I'm with Tiger over here, college is great and I'm just trying to enjoy the exeperience and meeting so many new people.
ME: Thanks guys! One last question: who'd play you in a movie?
DESHAWN: (laughs and smiles) My man, Tyrese.
LANCE: Roni makes a reference to me being Clark Kent-ish, so I guess Brandon Routh.
TIGER: I've been told that I look like that guy on THE O.C. You know, Ryan Atwood.
ME: Benjamin McKenzie?
TIGER: Yeah, that's him.
ME: I agree with all three. Okay, guys! Thanks for your time. I hope our readers will look forward to reading more about you in the sorority books, available May 1, 2008. Thanks!

Fun interview, Marley, and I like the way you posted their look-alikes, too!
Incidentally, Petra and all, I agree about the book sites not loading, but I thought it was just on my end.
Thanks for letting us know, Petra. I'll let Tera know. I thought it was just on my end, as well.
