| The Man with the Dollar � On our first walking trip we met this homeless guy who accosted us, holding up a dollar in our face and saying �To make a long story short�� For some reason it was hilarious as we were running away and was constantly brought up over the course of the following two weeks�. The Lady With the Signs � another infamous homeless person on Wisconsin. She would have these signs up on a cart, but they had no grammatical sense to them at all. It was dizzying to comprehend� Where the Street Ends � Don�t remember whether this was M Street or Wisconsin, but if you walk far enough down and look back, all you see is the top of the bank and nothing else. It�s as if everything just dropped off the face of the earth� The Fifth Floor � Supposedly haunted. We found a cool balcony and a locked door, but no luck otherwise� Ben Folds Five: The Last Polka � BFF was basically the main group of this summer, thanks to Mike. This song was extremely hard to study to� Chivalry and Laziness Go Hand in Hand � Coming from Philly and an all-girls school, the frequent occurrence of guys opening doors ruined me that summer. In addition to the elevators and automatic doors� And guys letting me go first. Bow and wave. =D What a rude awakening when I got back� Movies: American Pie, The Blair Witch Project, Austin Powers 2, Citizen Kane The Exorcist, ConAir, Diabolique, She�s All That, Lord of the Flies, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Jerry Maguire, Empire Records, Austin Powers, Ever After, Nothing to Lose, Grease, The Godfather, Swingers, Top Gun, The Witches of Eastwick, Benny and June, Forrest Gump, The Clockwork Orange, The Wedding Singer, The Waterboy, Pecker, The Life of Brian, Ghostbusters, A Life Less Ordinary, Dracula, Clue, The Professional, Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi Tweedlebugs � Stemmed from a conversation about Fragglerock during a Philosophy class break. Apparently, I was the only one other than football-player guy (Steve) who remembered them� International Cuisine Night � Thought I got away from peeling shrimp that summer� Guess not� But I learned how to make dumplings another way! Diaries, Hangers, and Stolen Pillows � So yes I did happen to accidentally peek in Kelly�s diary that she left open on her table. According to my journal, she wrote �I always get stuck with the worst roommates.� There was obviously no roommate bonding after that. However, it did serve as my justification for accidentally breaking one of her hangers when she left for a weekend. This may have been her justification for her taking my pillow when I in turn left for a weekend. Only found out because I got back earlier than she expected me to find the room on shambles (same as when she got back early) but my pillow obviously missing from my bed. When I asked her, she was like �Oh hmm� I don�t know. Maybe it�s in the lounge. I�ll go check.� Now, the walls are pretty thin and I can tell the difference between her opening the lounge door across the hall and her opening the door of the room next to us. Yet she still came back saying it was in the lounge� Pukky � I hope he doesn�t see this� Ummm� anyone I talked to that summer knows what I�m talking about and that�s quite enough. I *should* have taken those pictures! Aaarghh� No Girls in Boys� Rooms � In other words, scan the hallway before leaving or hide behind the door if an RA knocks. Also, make fun of guys who do have girls in their rooms and tease them about being together even though they are not! Curfew and Bedchecks � 10 and 11, I think. Got pushed back near the end of the session� They actually checked your room� Assassins � I can�t believe I got killed right away� I know it was one of those Puerto Rican guys who had me, but I guess they got killed off. At least I kinda killed my target before I was out� The Clockwork Orange � Since everyone had to watch it for their Psych class, they played it in the lounge. It�s ummm� interesting. Citizen Kane and The Blair Witch Project � Movies I saw with Pukky. Oh� I mean, movies I saw with Pukky, Mike, Laurel, and Daniel. ;P On the Mall and as the whole summer group at the theatre. Foreigner from the Philippines? � Hey, my prof was old � I guess he kinda mixed things up a little. Anyway, he loved my writing because I �wasn�t from this country� so it�s all good� Ladled Ketchup � Mmmmm� Appetizing� Balancing and Stolen Saltshakers � Thank you Virginia for teaching me my one talent� =P Ah, the things you can learn at 1 in th emorning as you�re eating strawberry Belgian waffles� It soon became an obsession and I couldn�t leave the dining hall without balancing one. Until I just couldn�t get it the second to last day we ate there� The only way I could leave was to take the stupid thing with me. The we decided to see how many we could get the next time. Filled my shopping bags and Mike�s pockets with them and clinked out the door� Fourteen in all.. =D Click here to see the pic� Paying the Check and Running � Girls inexperienced with paying the check themselves: �Do we wait or can we leave? Do we leave it here? Ok let�s run�� The Race to Get Mike�s tv � Once Mike left, his tv was up for grabs. So of course when I hear them talking about using it that night, I fly down to the room and make Anthony carry it up to my room, willing or not. If you�re a girl, apologizing even once always works anyway� Porn Background Music � I dunno� they would just keep humming it� Ungilliams Inc. and the Sex Change � Welcome to Room 521. Please Support Anthony�s Sex Change. When we left all the pennies that had been collected were left on the floor. Don�t know which of them got to keep the Who�s In? pictures� �Donkey Donkey Donkey Donkey�� � A tangent from one of our many accent conversations. From NewsRadio. The Mirror Routine � Stupid room didn�t have a full-length mirror and I wasn�t gonna step outside my door to use the one in the hallway like everyone else who walked by. However, opening up the cabinet door just so and climbing on a chair served the purpose� Cookies in the Lounge � Twenty people would be drawn to the lounge from a whiff of Pillsbury cookie dough� Heads would turn at the sound of a knife hitting a glass pan� Everything Else on the Floor of the Lounge � One disgusting night when sandwich chunks, crumbs, goo, sticky stuff and everything else was on the carpeted floor of the lounge. Cleaning was pissed with us after that� Nasty Showers � Hair collected on the drain, stained concrete floors, discolored tiles, and mildewed shower curtains� Yet some people went in there barefoot� ::shudder:: The Potty Press � Ingeniously posted in a very accessible place� Everyone knew what was going on� Top Hats, Canes, and Monocles � The aim of our many shopping trips� Duty to Answer Payphone � at 8 in the morning� long distance� just because it was outside our door� Wisemillers � Yummmm� Wisconsin and M Street � random random shopping trips �Random� � the word of the summer� The Bitch Moan � their name for the weird sound Anthony could make. Don�t see how it applies, but ok� Storm Brewing � Ever feel the electricity in the air as huge gusts of wind swirled up around you? It�s the coolest sensation =D Coy Pond and Observatory � found on one of our walks around the campus� Walking 40 City Blocks � In the blazing hot sun. To see American Pie. While there was a bus that followed the exact same route. |
