The Garlic Meat Lady from

We're cooking dinner tonight.
I'm making a kind of Stonehenge
stroganoff.
Marcia is helping me. You
already know the legend
of her beauty.
I've asked her to rub garlic
on the meat. She takes
each piece of meat like a lover
and rubs it gently with garlic.
I've never seen anything like this
before. Every orifice
of the meat is explored, caressed
relentlessly with garlic.
There is a passion here that would
drive a deaf saint to learn
the violin and play Beethoven at
Stonehenge.

Sex, Drugs, Rock and Roll

Well. It has been a weekend. I can tell you that.

It kicked off with a dress up party at the mods, which turned out to be great. Je was visiting and he always makes stuff more fun, and everyone was there and it was a lot of fun. Je got Ad's number, but he thought she meant possible romance but she is still into Av, so that was a little awkward. And we got to see the kitten again, I don't know if I wrote about the kitten before but there is this tiny little baby kitten that lives in that mod and she is adorable beyond words. And TINY.


Yeah.
I liked Thursday a lot.

Then on Friday there was a pirate porn party at Ro's, where everyone got together and watched Pirates, the two hour long high budget porn movie. The four of us dressed up as pirates for the event, because if the theme of the party is pirate porn we are certainly not about to not dress up. The party was another great success, even though Co almost came home early and ruined it, with far more people showing up than anyone expected. The boys made really dumb jokes the whole time and thought they were hilarious, clapping their hands and stomping their feet. Boys are dumb like that. Then we went back to our dorm and Mel wanted to make bean dip and wait for Sa to switch the bean dips but A and Ke and I wanted to do something else in Ke's room, so we did that and then went to Da's room for hot dogs. It was an eventful night.

Then on Saturday everyone locked Bej's door shut with rope, but then they got mad at me when I didn't come out of the room. Either lock me in a room OR be mad at me for being in that room. Both do not make sense to me. But then we started the festivities for the day at three and went to the field, where we hung out for a bit and then I left because it was so wicked hot. I played with oobleck at the bus stop, looked insane, went to dinner and got scared of an apple, and then went to red square and lay with my head in the shade made by a tree and watched the trees and the birds and the sun. And that was great. And then I took a shower and looked at my shower walls and then watched a little bit of planet earth and really liked the polar bears swimming under the ice. After that I called the rest of the girls and found them still on the field, so I went there but I really didn't want to be outside. After a bit we all went inside and I got separated from the rest of them again and decided to lie still with my eyes closed and take another shower, and then Bej invited me to go to Li's but the rest of the girls showed up and everyone was mad at me again so I went with them to go squish in mud. We then washed off our feet, watched the end of the red sox game for Father, and went to the field a little bit more. Then Mel and I played with oobleck more in my room and then we made smoothies and a video for Av.

It was quite a day.

Sunday was a recovery day.

Then today Ke and I decided to have a beach day because it was really hot, but instead of going to the beach we went to a secluded field because it was a lot more close by. Walking is just too much sometimes. So we lay in our bathing suits in the field and napped and talked and looked at the wind in the tall grass. There was a circle of rainbow around the sun and it was all kinds of pleasant.

That was my weekend.

I killed something I loved

Oh mans. Weekend recap time.

On Thursday we sang Celine Dion in Ke's room, the four of us at approximately 4 am belting out It's All Coming Back To Me Now song to the best of our impaired abilities. Then when I went to use my bathroom I realized everyone could hear us. Whoops. Maybe they liked it more than Lovin You on repeat. Maybe not. Then Ke and A and I went to Av's room and found a kid that I vaguely know, and then I told them I was going to sleep and they said NO YOU'RE NOT, YOU'RE PUTTING ON YOUR PAJAMAS AND COMING BACK and I said I was going to sleep and then the next morning they asked me why I never came back when I said I was going to.

Communication!

And then A and Ke were left to their own devices and got into a bit of mischief. But not the last mischief of the weekend.

On Friday Mel went to Da's house to meet his parents and family, but we spotted his dad and brother at the freshman advising lunch (which was a total lie, we do not have regular Friday barbecues outside) and Ke called the dad and brother over and Mel was pretty embarrassed yet handled herself well.

Then Ke and A and I went to get burritos and got burritos and horrible service and had to leave 30 dollars on the table and run to catch the bus back. We had to! Because we wanted to go to the party at Li's but by the time we had gotten ready the party was over because that is how they do it at Li's - quick and dirty. So then Ke and A and I had to make some fun of our own, which we did by going to some random place filled with people from A's class that we didn't really know (and Be and No) and to A dorm and utilizing some of the mischief from the night before, and then we went to Ta's room and to Av's room and people wanted us to sing for them and it was all very odd.

It was a rough night in our dorm, for some more than others but really for everybody at least a little bit. One of THOSE nights as they say.

On Saturday I went with Bej to get an exercise ball for Li's apartmentmate because he had stabbed hers with a knife the night before.

I wasn't kidding about the one of those nights thing.

Then when I got back it was Oregon Trail party time with Br, which was a WEIRD party. Then that night All and A and I watched Ferngully after hanging out with the Kas and a little sister. Ferngully was a really neat looking movie. And probably is under all circumstance.

This weekend felt really long. I'm only at Sunday recapping it and I'm feeling what I felt on Sunday, which was that whoa it's only Sunday feeling.

Sooo on Sunday what happened? I'm sure something happened. What was it.
No idea.

Then yesterday we had guacamole and ran around and bothered people.

I just got bored of blogging a bit there.

The Lonely Goat Herd

Today was a splendid day!

A and Ke and I spent a lot of time looking at our new FAVORITE SHOW, the Lawrence Welk Show, which often features our new FAVORITE SINGING GROUP the Lennon Sisters, on youtube. We found this little gem:


Which we decided was our new theme song and learned the lyrics to and performed for Da and Mel and the second floor boys and the rest of our friends.

It's pretty great.

And we hung out in Sa's room and Je flashed Boob Girl and sang a song which went:

Boob girl, show us your boobs
They look kind of round
And I want to put....

....

I dont know.

So that was entertaining.

And then Ke and I made a quote book. Which is pretty rad.

Next year we WILL be the Lennon Sisters.

GIRLS WEEKEND!

GIRLS WEEKEND!
was a blast!

We took of to Tacoma for the weekend, which is actually a delightful place to live, surprisingly enough. Maybe Ke just lives in the nice part. But it sure is nice there. We went to costco first and then to the seashore and there were so many colors in that water and fake trains everywhere. Trains around here are apparently not for people. Then we went back to Ke's house for chocolate fountain and hot tubbing and Babysitter's Club on on demand. And it was all as pleasurable as it sounds.

The next day we went to the glass museum and the art museum, and oh mans do I ever want to get really good at glass blowing. The guy who made The Way Things Work, the mammoth-ful scientific CD-ROM of my youth, had an exhibit at the art museum which was VERY exciting.

And then we went to see some water and walk about on the beach and climb on the fireboat. I picked up a crab from under a rock and held it and only got a little terrified when it squirmed.

Ke's stepdad makes wonderful food and her mom explains her.

Today we went for a walk and got caught in a hurricane.

Do they even have hurricanes around here? Cause I feel like they don't.

Don't let it in, it will kill us all!

So on Monday or something Ke, A, and I went into Av's room to visit before he went off to China, and we all sat on his floor and he sat on his chair and then on his desk and told us a story and then passed out goodies for all. And then somehow it came up that we were a gang and needed a gang tattoo, which was decided should be a crucified tyrannosaurus in a sailor hat, so I drew one but had to borrow sharpies because Av's kept on running out. Av got it on his arm, Ke got it on her neck, A got it on her forearm, and then they told me to put it on my chest but that proved very difficult. But I got it eventually with a little help from Ke. And then Bej showed up and Av had to leave, so it was just us in his room for a while, and things were all very pleasant and then Ja and To and some kid Mi showed up, and they were all out of their minds and very wild and smoking cigarettes and getting their hair stuck in Av's guitar and To was all PLAY US A SONG BEJ and then they all played songs and sang and it was still wild. It was eventually too much and we all had to leave.

Av is in China now. Crazy!

We're going to Girl's Weekend this weekend. Should be a ball!
