While I do have some fond memories of those times, I find that it's best to block the overt discussions/analysis on group-dynamics-and-individual-roles-within-the-group that went on...and that might include the "group name".
In odd Thwipster footnotes: I ended up at the School of the Museam of Fine Arts in Boston for a semester, the same semester that Aaron M really started dating. (I was in town visiting my Mom at program at Harvard for his first dating experience, and then at the SMFA for his second girlfriend). While my broke, art-school self did scrounge some free Harvard mess hall meals at that time, I'd like to think that my untrained therapist role more than paid for those calories.
Poor guy was there for the night that I found out my then Madison based boyfriend had slept with someone else...all Aaron could think to do was give me a lot of candy and show me the Archie McPhee catalog. It stop my tears, as I realized that my tears distressed him and that I was in no mood to soothe a distressed Aaron on top of everything.
