When Miranda smiles, the whole world lights up! Thank you for being so wonderful and for taking care of us on the playa. With your friendly nature and kind words, you inspired us to be brave and make the long trek across the country... where we found an amazing family and a true home. Go 8-Pod!

Hmmm, let's see how long have I known Miranda?

Try her whole life!! As she is my lil cousin! I know Miranda from way back in the day when we used to spend our summers rambling through the creeks and ponds of south San Jose before it got silicon implants and turned fast and crazed.

Before we both got corraled into high tech careers, we chased polly wogs and bull frogs and made green pond moss wigs for our Tante at the percolation ponds off Blossom Hill Road. Her dad (one of my favorite uncles) would let us run wild all summer.

We had carefree fun back then and she was as wonderful then as she is now. Love you Miranda! Your spirit rocks!

Always,

Jill Oopil

Miranda is...damn, just full of life! Her mind works at top speed and she's just full of great ideas. She is also a very principled and curtious individual, as well as being damn responsible and capable. Don't confuse "responsibe" with "boring," cuz Miranda is certainly not that. She has all sorts of wonderfully non-conventional ideas, all of which aim at creating beauty and possibility in the world. That's the essence of her, she brings beauty and life to the world!
