This site has grown up so quickly, and we barely know each other. I just launched a new poll to get a better handle on the cVillain community. Please participate in the poll. Here are some more details on each option:
- Cavalier: UVa undergrad, grad, Darden, etc…
- Transplant: For some strange reason, you came to Charlottesville for a full/part-time job (just a little curious where the Cville hiring scene is pulling from)
- Townie: Have yet to make it past 250 east…. or west
- Mosquito: You don’t really live in Cville, but you somehow find yourself here all the time, back for fresh meat
- Superbad: Still in high school and are waiting to get out
- Gaylord Fokker: You have family in Cville
- Wedding Crasher: You thought you would just be in cville for undergrad/grad/Darden/etc…and you have never left, EVER. Sounds like a botched one-night stand to me. Are you Vince or Owen?
Hope this gives everyone a better idea of who we are and how we are connected. We would love to hear any funny/interesting details around your circumstances of being a cVillain. Happy Monday!

I think you need one more category - Recovering Cavalier - for those of us who came here to go to school and never managed to leave.
Haha, good point. I actually wanted to have a multi-layered audience survey to include things like that. I will add as requested!
I think that would be called a “Wooderson.”
There’s also a large faction of UVA graduates who leave and come back, sometimes after 10-15 years to raise a family, sometimes after a couple of years, either to go to graduate school and be a “Double-Hoo” or return to a familiar city with a great quality of life. I’d call those “Early retirement” or “Michael Jordan’s ‘golf career.’”
Oh now this is just getting too complex. Ill let the marketing majors at Darden do this in-depth demographic study on cville’s inhabitants…lets just keep this one-level deep for now eh?
Miss you lilith!
Aww, cocoNUT, I miss you too! I love this poll and always enjoy reading your expert opinions on gelato. I’m going to have my favorite gelato today at an undisclosed location. Hope everything’s going well
I’ll call myself a Cavalier Transplant, or maybe a boomerang. Came for a degree, went away, came back. Not quite early retirement, but if I could get away with it….
I’d be a transplant, came for a job, not for the school.
Although due to my moniker I should probably take offense that you think townies never leave.
Why do all of your posts read like elaborate setups for jokes that never appear? I keep waiting for the funny and/or interesting parts and they never materialize. Feeble attempts
I came for a job in March of 2006 and as a result of that became a part time graduate student. But the job is the real reason I’m here.
they told me to come here….
that the streets were made of gold…
haha.
not.
but it’s still the best place i’ve ever lived.
Waiting: you might be reading into this way too much. Stop waiting for it?
I’m a transplant, but for a woman, not a job.
