Monkey Business

back in action!!!

2009-01-12T16:14:00.000-08:00

hi friends,
for those of you who still secretly blog, (like sara herr friedman) i hope this does you great justice.
i am following my roommate and dear friend amanda who is off to new zealand over the next few weeks.
she is going to have a blast and wants others to tag along with her via blog.
i know it's not the same but it's the best i can do.
well, have a blog-iful time!
see you later!

tabor is a mountain and a fun friend!

2008-11-24T00:56:00.001-08:00

i love being in reno

it takes me back to the good old days

when i was paying way too much for my higher education

(i just saw the new library...impressive...seeing how they charged us up the ass! for it during my days)

i am wearing my NEVADA sweatshirt that i purchased back in fall of 2001.

it still fits and is very snug

(heather is still laughing...just as usual...it's kind of comforting and reminiscent of the 155 college drive household

well i guess theres nothing worth blogging about because tabor is to my immediate back looking my shoulder, watching everything i write

(this is her way of loving people....its not a normal tendency but thats her...its her love language)

i love you tabor...you just get easily annoyed and offended....only with me...with love!

(just like sara herr...always cranky and sensitive and complaining)

i love you heather and tabor

good night

sleep tight

something is aloof...

2007-09-07T17:12:00.000-07:00

this is the backyard.
something is wrong with the backyard.
Very very VERY wrong.
Can you guess what it is?

there seems to be something missing.
something that's been there for always.
for always and forever.
have you figured it out yet?

THE FLIPPIN GAZEBO IS....

GOOOOOONE!!!

i think a little part of my heart died today...the backyard now looks ugly...and bushy...and jungly. I might shed a tear!

Nastalgia

2007-04-13T08:37:00.000-07:00

Last night in a fit of boredom I began to read over the old old blogs that we wrote... and I felt nastalgic... when I read them I realized something... college drive is one huge chaotic ball of love... i pray that God will continue to change peoples lives in that house and that He will be glorified in the ministry that takes place there... Sara Herr

2007-02-22T12:48:00.000-08:00

the memories!!!
wasnt college the best?

what now???

time to blog...

2007-01-28T21:57:00.000-08:00

lets remember that this blog is still in existence
if you neglect it...it will come back and bite you in the ass!
once you blog...you can never stop!
you cant even run away from it...try it!
let me tell you about my recent blog denial story...
i was casually perusing the internet...as every 20-something-year old does on a saturday afternoon
i dont remember how it happened...i mean it was all so sudden (with top speed internet access these days) but i ended up on some random person's blogsite
he was a blogger himself so i didnt mind scanning his "daily entries" of the month
i came to find out that he met his future life partner on blogger... it went on to say that he was trying to promote his own blogsite as a new dating network without the hassle of e harmony...
i was appalled...blogger and e harmony in one sentence...
and even blogger...our very own source of mockery and fun...came down to a new form of "e dating"
so i thought i could stand up against this world wide web of injustice but clearly it was a breach of the cyber dating network to voice an opinion on the matter...
so you see...this story illustrates everything you think it does...
dont blog only to find yourself love struck over some other unfortunate blogger
get a real life and blog about the norms of today like all-too-frequently seen hairstyles that are in style only because theyve always been out of style...or about the rearranging of one's furniture in a tiny room that only handles so much couch space...or about the digestive tract of your friend...i wont mention who...sara herr...or about a game of diction that openly invites the creative minds of 155 college drive to tastefully compose comedic writing in place of going out on a friday night as do most adults with a life...or about anything that holds a special place in our hearts...
good night and do blog!

Our basically new home!

2006-11-30T10:47:00.000-08:00

"Family Day" is the day after Thanksgiving set aside to hang with the fam. But what about "Family Day" night when you are done with the fam and need something to do in the biggest little city in the world that is now dead of the normal college students that usually occupy it?

Scene 1: 8:30ish (Burt walks into the 155 lr where Tabor and Brandon are already chillin)
Burt: What should we do?
Brandon: I want to make a movie!
(Burt and Tabor look around thingking because that idea is just not good enough...)
Tabor: hmmmm...........I really want to decorate for Christmas.....but we dont' have to do that....
Burt: (pause) LETS REARRANGE THE LIVING ROOM!
Tabor: OMG! You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that for!
Burt: Then lets just do it! (Burt and Tabor begin to chat about what could go where)
Brandon: (wlks to door) Well....my friend wants to hang out so if this is really what you guys are up to...I'm out.
Burt and Tabor: OK! Later! (Too excited about the new porject to hang with Brandon)

So... five hours of rearranging on night one, two trips to Walmart, more hours of decorating with Sarah #5 on nioght two, and surprisingly only one spider later............here's the new and improved 155 lr...........

Look at all this roomto just dance around in!!!

Heather and Brandon are pretty excited about all the room they have to just sit and chill.

November 2006, one month until one roomie moves out....but we FINALLY put up some house pics! (They all tilt now....we had a technical difficulty in getting them to sty but we're good now!)

Brandon enjoying the aroma of the house alumni pics on one side and the collage of friendly faces on the other!

how i miss the sweet state of silver.

2006-10-30T12:15:00.000-08:00

2006-10-24T19:05:00.000-07:00

i love you all

Yesterday...

2006-10-10T07:46:00.000-07:00

I posted a blog asking who posted up the picture of the mullet... thats right, I, Sara Herr asked who posted the picture. The response to that question was quite upsetting because it said that I was the one who had posted it when in fact I was the one asking who posted it!! I know that you all want to be me... but seriously guys... lets take an honest look at our hearts and be honest about the mullet... who posted it?? oh and by the way... you are a fool if you think that I have any idea about how to put a picture in a blog... i am just not that smart... love you all.... the real, original, one and only, true blue, SARA HERR!!!!

Who did it???

2006-10-09T11:20:00.000-07:00

Who posted the DAMN mullet in the first place??!!!

mullet madness!!!

2006-10-08T17:30:00.000-07:00

im sorry for allowing such intense reactions to come from you guys...
why do mullets provoke so many things out of people?
who knows?
well...i still love you all...even if you pick your nose or throw up everytime you think of the picture...

2006-10-02T01:01:00.000-07:00

155 alive reunited for one night...and damn it was a good night!

secrets will be revealed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2006-08-09T22:48:00.000-07:00

wait for it....wait for it...

the unadventurous adventures of futo and ishi

2006-08-08T23:13:00.000-07:00

Today's adventure begins with two slighty-off firefighters. Futo, the mildy cranky firefighter, leads the way in all attempts to put out raging fires across the city and beyond. Ishi, the senseless but loveable firefighter, steadily follows close behind, still not aware that water puts out fire.
No one knows where they came from or how they were even paired up, but when this duo is out to save the day, their attempts seem to get them more in trouble than the fire itself.
This fire-fighting duo will fail wonderfully at putting out fires, but they will give you a few laughs as you trek along with them in their humor-filled adventures.
Be on the lookout for these two...they will be making guest appearances on this blog from time to time...their adventures will be worth it!
Signing off,
yours truly!

the final countdown (cue the music)

2006-07-25T01:34:00.000-07:00

adios amigos...i will leave you all with inspirational quotes about friendship...this is what keeps me going everyday...

"Love is blind, but friendship closes its eyes."-unknown

"But friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine of life; and thanks to a benevolent arrangement of things, the greater part of life is sunshine."-Thomas Jefferson

"Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow ~ Don't walk behind me, I may not lead ~ Just walk beside me and be my friend."-unknown

Friendship often ends in love; but love in friendship--never. * Charles Caleb Colton

Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship. * Oscar Wilde

whats going on?????????

2006-07-05T02:20:00.000-07:00

what kind of animals are those?
and why do they have sparklers and an American flag in their hand?
are they actually celebrating the 4th of July?
what is going on in this world that people depict animals celebrating independence day???
i really am confused...really...

the beauty of a beast!!!

2006-07-02T20:08:00.000-07:00

spencer lange...
what is it about him that we can't get enough of???
(actually that chrissie can't get enough of)
how is it that we let him slip by???
(or is someone playing hard to get....huh heather???)
too many memories that we all share
(and some that we wish we hadn't...)
how daring he was that night of second chance prom in his polyester suit
(daring...i say...joining in on terry and camerons proposal night)
but we all know spencer's true love
(no...not laurie...but BEER!!!)
he really got the crowd going
(or rather...he really pissed sara off all the time)
but deep down inside spencer has feelings like you and me
(wait a minute...he's a sad panda...that doesn't work the same)
oh well
HAPPY 4th of JULY
Spencer and Patriotic Holidays really do go hand in hand don't they???
We love you Spencer...like America!!!

Your names are CLARK and DARLA???!?!?!?!?!

2006-06-30T12:52:00.000-07:00

And here I sit.... Heather is long gone on her way to So Cal.... Sarah and Brie went to eat lunch and won't be back before I leave.... I haven't slept besides some crappy sleep on an airplane since 8am Eastern time yesterday, which means it's been about 32 hours since I have laid in a bed and looked at the loveliness that is the back of my eyelids.... and Just Friends still plays as I sit waiting for Mo's family minus Mo to pick me up so we can drive for 3 hours and then hang out at her house for 2 more before she even gets home.... I don't know them now but I'm sure we'll be one big happy family by the end of the day, that is...if I can stay awake long enough to make it to the freeway. So...what do I do while I'm waiting and watching and trying not to fall asleep and make myself even more tired, or worse, fall so dead asleep that I miss the call... I write a blog...because Heather and I now have a tradition of not sleeeping and then writing a blog before we go on a mission.... Brie and Aaron and home! That makies me more excited.... I don't want to leave this house alone...it would be sad!

"Would you guys like to join us in a carol to celebrate the Birth of our Looooord?" -Sorry, I had to put that in... I like that line of the movie!

Oh... I have to tell you guys about this thing we did in Florida... it was crazy and all I could think about all day was what a great 155 blog this would be! My sister and father and I got the honor to go with my Grandpa and a whole charter bus of old people from his church to an "amusment park" in Orlando called "The Holy Land Experience".... the name says it all I think... I maen, yeah, it was cool to see and learn some stuff about where Jesus was w/o flying across the world...but can we say RIDICULOUS! Everywhere it said and they told us that it was a non-profit thing...however, it cost $40 just to get into the small (maybe 5 acre parks) and watch shows and lectures all day cause that's all there was...and on top or that our chicken burger and fries for lunch cost around $9 all together...I mean...if you're "non-profit" I'm sure that you didn't pay that much to get or make or pay the people making it...but oh well.... there was more good stuff... one of the shows had Jesus in it! I felt SO close to Him...it was like I was walking around 200 years ago.. He looked just like He would in an American coloring book for Americanized Church Sunday School Class ;-) I mean really... why is the image of Jesus a white guy with long hair?? I jsut don't get it! BUT...they did have a model of Jerusalem and I found Waldo in it! It was great...I told the old people and they were all laughing ;) Well...my ride just called and they will be here in 10 minutes to start me on my journey to the Big Apple...BUT, if you ever get a chance...You should check out the Holy Land Experience! I mean... you'll have a laugh at how corny some of it is but then there was some cool old artifacts and stuff that were neat and it really is a big evangilistic thing so that was cool! OK...I'm off :) Love you all and if I get a chance maybe I will catch you up on my life in the next month! YAY! I get to see Sara Herr VERY VERY soon!!! :-)

gnomes are more than mythical creatures...

i dont remember how it all started...honest...i think it was nickelodeon that first introduced me to the world of gnomes especially the world of one such gnome...david the gnome...
i was immediately hooked...i couldnt stop watching the show as a kid...completely fascinated by the idea that gnomes were a reality for me...i tried to imagine myself as a gnome...but i couldnt...it just wasnt the same or could ever be for that matter...i wanted to be a physician just like david... curing all the animals and the fellow gnomes and i wanted to ride on swift's back (his trusty fox)and be carried away safely to a place unbeknownst by the evil trolls who had this disgusting idea to capture them and make do with them as they pleased...i mean... it makes perfect sense why so many people are still fascinated by these pointy-hatted, clever little creatures...they exist to represent a world of harmony and appreciation for the world around them...there just simply isnt a better, more magical creature such as this one...i apologize in advance for those who did not share this same fascination of the world of david the gnome as i did as a child...although your parents are easily to blame for depriving you of wholesome cartoon fun on nickelodeon...well actually i never had nickelodeon as a child and i still was able to watch the world of david the gnome...please watch this video and admire the beauty of 80's cartoon theme songs and listen to the lyrics...it takes your breath away...with such inspiration and fervor...so here's to you david and all of the other gnomes out there in this world like the roaming gnome on travelocity and all the other ones who decorate so many front porches...everybody cheer for the gnome!!!

B.S. (Britney Spears or Bull Shit?)

I won't waste too much of your time but I have a question worth asking...
who has watched the exclusive matt lauer interview w/ britney spears?
see it for yourself...it will change you forever!!!
i mean...lets cut her some slack already...its bad enough that shes married to the worst celebrity-wannabe ever...i mean who isn't a good mom anyways these days? just because you drive your baby around in your lap speeding away from the paparazzi...that doesnt make you a bad mom...of course not...lets all cheer for britney spears...shes not bull shit...shes a real human being...give her some credit as a person...not as a pop star turned unintentional mommy and wife of kevin federline...so we salute you britney spears...because you really are more than just a bubblegum princess pop star...your words matter to us...they really do...and just because your initials are b.s. you really arent...honest...we mean that from the bottom of our hearts...

Ban from 155 house: Mac Smith

2006-06-14T16:33:00.001-07:00

Mac Smith flushed Blue steal (the house fish) AND HE WAS STILL ALIVE!! :( :( :( :( I am SAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pray for me!!

2006-06-13T12:59:00.000-07:00

I have not read this thing in forever... and that is sinful... i need you to pray that I will be able to put the silly pants on again and quick... or should I say quickidy dick.... hmmmm..... I miss you college drive!Love, Sara Herr

you're not mad are you binky winky?!?

2006-05-28T20:44:00.000-07:00

there is a piece of cheese stuck to my shift key, a slice of pickle wedged between my third and fourth molar, and a Babe Ruth candy bar melting underneath my butt...but none of that matters and you know why...BECAUSE TOMORROW IS A HOLIDAY...TOMORROW IS NO WORK...TOMORROW IS VEG ON THE COUCH ALL DAY DOING NOTHING BECAUSE NOTHING HAS TO BE DONE!! Can you tell how excited I am...I really hope you can!

currently us three musketeers are livin it up in the room of living eating deliciously prepared quesadillas prepared by the one and only Tabor Tot (who just spilled hot magma grease onto her clothes) and watching How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days on VHS because we're trying to see how long we can go without using the DVD player since we are all too lazy to switch the cables from the video cassette reader to the digital video device!! And while watching this wonderous masterpiece of a movie we all decided we wanted to do this to someone...a certain fella to be exact...call them pet names...bake them asanta sana squash BANANA CREME pies (wink wink)...drive them as far away as possible...maybe even make them flee to Botswana!

okay, no more lollygag-ing...the point of this blog is to inform all it's readers that Sarah Z.'s right side of her body has been gaining on and off numbness ever since she tried to barricade herself in her room with the mattresses off of her bed last night! However don't be too alarmed for she made the following announcement moments earlier by stating "you know what it is...it's toenail sensitiivity in my right toes!" So although I have no idea exactly what that mean or how it relates and it might be a condition that Sarah will have to live with for the rest of her life...I do know that the freak show reputation that this house has built for itself still LIVES STRONG! Can I get an Amen!

I have a WONderful MAN friend who I DO things with!

2006-05-27T23:56:00.000-07:00

OK.. don't go pee your pants or anything because this is the second blog within 24 hours... Heather did say we were not going to let this blog die and it's true!! WE WILL NOT!!! So... let me catch you up on the ridiculousness that is 155 College Drive.... so AFTER our double whammy movie fest last night Heather was TIRED (well, obviously because she did sleep through MOST of both movies...) so she goes into her room and comes out wearing hott pink stretch pants and an oversize nasty green tshirt because she was in the process of cleaning her room and apparently couldn't find anything else... THEN she goes into the bathroom to complete her ridiculousness with her retainer that makes her talk funny, walks out into the living room and looking half asleep and sounding like a 5 year old with a lisp says, "I want to make gingerbread cookies." So we say "alright" and head into the kitchen at 2 am on a Saturday morning and start to bake........ and half an hour....... almost one house fire..... 3 wasted eggs... no more milk in the house...... and a sink full of dirty dishes later... we went to bed! OKAY... so that wasn't EXACTLY how the remainder of our Friday night at 155 went.... but today was about that ridiculous.... first of all, it was just Sarah and I actually at home today for "155 College Drive Clean Your Room Day" because Heather decided to go hang out with the fam for the day and go shopping with her mom which apparently means new hoodies AND shoes for Heather :-) SOOOO... Sarah and I sit....on the couch... thinking about our rooms.... but decide that first we need to go buy supplies... which ends up turning into the biggest waste of a day EVER and we continue searching until we get a call from the freshies that are apparently back from the Plunge and are heading to our house so we decide to just buy food and go home and make them dinner... ergo, no room cleaning actually happened on our "155 College Drive Clean Your Room Day" but that's okay because it's 155 and it's ridiculous and pointless Saturdays is what we do around here.........

new words: asanta sana squash banana, pickle, lollygag, Babe Ruth, Botswana

Stop touching my Tookus!!

2006-05-26T23:31:00.000-07:00

Well, here I am. Sarah Z. Writing my first 155 blog ever as a newly established resident. Moving in and becoming part of the fam has been a natural process. One prepared for by two years of spending more time here than my own room. I've been in the process of unpacking for over a week now, but tomorrow it's finally going to be accomplished. We've designated tomorrow as 155 College Drive Clean Your Room Day except Heather decided to be her usual witty self and get a jumpstart on it today and about 9:30pm a weak little voice called out into hallway..."Sarah?..." and I walked into her room to find her sitting on the floor SURROUNDED by CRAP. "I don't want to do it any more" whined my red-headed friend. "I like to move it move it" was my reply as I began removing her garbage, or what I deemed as garbage, from the bed to the dumpster placed in our living room. "OH MYLANTA!!" she screamed as I grabbed her pollywog doll from summer of '97. Yesterday I bought a kiosk and placed it in the jungle next to the GABEZO and next weekend we're having a "backyard wall-less structures" party. (The next morning I realized that kiosks typically have walls but just forget that). You're all invited. I even sent up an invite to the fam in Tennessee. No RSVP's as of yet. But as for this Memorial Day weekend...it's just us Three Musketeers. Everyone else is out of town/recovering from Tabor's "Rock Brownies" and so it's just Heather, Tabor, and I. I'm so excited I think I just tator totted BECAUSE Sunday we're going to Dayton to BBQ with TABOR'S FAM. The stories I've heard...I can't WAIT. And this blog is lame enough so I'll snip it off here and get back to BACK TO BACK "A Walk To Remember"/"Just Friends".

New words: erego, retainer, gingerbread cookies, stretch pants, alright

do you smell what the 155 is cookin'?!?

2006-05-08T15:56:00.000-07:00

I refuse to let this blog die...REFUSE I TELL YOU! So instead of studying for my engineering econ final that I have tomorrow morning I am going to write a new blog because I am tired of constantly staring at the old March Madness one! I JUST SNEEZED LIKE TEN TIMES IN A ROW AND I'M PRETTY SURE THE BRUTAL FORCE OF THEM ALL JUST CAUSED MY SIXTH VERTEBRA TO POP OUT OF PLACE! Of course it didn't faze Laurie all that much cause she just giggled and continued to twirl the spaghetti noodles she's currently eating (i mean, basically swallowing whole cause we all know she doesn't chew!) as she sits across the table from me!! How I love thee Laurie Ann! So what is going on in the world of 155 you might ask...well...the semester is coming to an end which means summer is basically here which means this old hizz-ouze is going to turn in to a suana and be hotter than a shmotter for the next three months resulting in every window being open and all of our fans pumping out air in hopes to cool down all us lovely ladies and visitors, like Prime Minister Tony Blair (he's a regular...YOWZA!)! Peoples are moving on out soon...while the hot newbies are moving in! Tabor has basically staked her claim on one of the couches already the last few weeks...it's almost like she lives here for reals!!! WHO'S EXCITED?!? I AM I AM! It's like having an blonde albino Sara "mulched mullet" O'Herr running around again!! The house will finally be balanced again...everyone joining in fun comradery with one another, hanging out in the living room wearing ridiculously large red sunglasses, eating turkey sandwiches after counting thousands of pennies that turned fingers black, and playing spiderman with our favorite little boyfriend, Jaden! OK! So I DO/DID ALL THOSE THINGS...but whatev...you all get my point! This will be the first summer I get to actually live in the house EVERYDAY! And I have nothing else to talk about because the realization of how much I need to study just hit and I already got all the words in this here dealio thus completing Sarushka Babushka's challenge that she announced about a year ago!

new words: kiosk, "i like to move it move it", 3 Musketeers, pollywog, Tennessee
DO IT...I DARE YOU!!!

not saying anything about her poor decision is wrong in itself

IN NEW YORK THEY MOP THE RUGS!!!

2006-02-09T12:08:00.000-08:00

And other weird shit like that happenes everyday around here... in case you have forgotten... my name is Sara Herr and apparently I ama New York resident... I have not blogged in years... mainly because just the thought of the people who will read this makes me want to burst out into tears... not that I dont love being in New York... because I do... but because I love all of you crazys even more... but... some positives of the big city.... we have sushi... amazing sushi.... just ahop skip and a jump away from my building... now its not sushi man crush... but it is definitly closer to go there from working than to go upstairs and make a fat ass hot dog surprise.... yes even here i indulge in that sick little pleasure... also... when walking into my building last night i saw the cleaning man cleaning the office... and by cleaning the office i mean mopping the carpet... matt tried to hit it up with the camera phone as to have proof of the ridiculousness of the matter... but the man was too quickidydick... and finished before we could capture this moment forever... also... people in the city are as crazy as every and doign street eveangelism is still a bit brutal... but the weather here has been like Vegas winter weather... which I accredit to praying powerful prayers... matt does not see to agree and thinks that it is a little self centered to think that even the weather revolves around me... i might agree... but God is good and i know i am right where i am supposed to be... although being where i am supposed to be seems like one of the hardest things i have ever had to do... but at least i have a greater knowledge of the Old Testament... and i like it.... i miss all of you and your mulch... i miss ddr... and i miss the sick ass plaid couches... but i think about you often and praise God for how amazing our time was at college drive... I have never loved a point in my life som much as I love looking back at our time spent there... and i know that it will greatly affect my ministry here... and the way that I live my life forever.... ewww... this is getting to mushy.... keep praying you guys... for everyone who has ever been touched by our house... that Gods kingdom wuld be furthered because of what he taught us there... and that we would have just as genuine of a community wherever we end up... I feel like God is really working on my insides while I am here... i was told that training really is a time of refining and I am finally beigning to believe... and actually embrace it... wow... ok so I just spilled my guts to you people... but I love you enough to do... May God continue to Bless all of you richly... I love you tons college drive! Sara

TRICKY DANCE MOVES ARE MY FAVORITE!!!

2006-01-31T23:38:00.000-08:00

My life belongs to SaLsa!!! I have found my true calling in life...further more I have found the reason why I moved to Chico...
ok maybe not...I am exaggerating but isnt that what I always do?
So me and Terry actually went SaLsa dancing tonight with some of the international students that we met a couple of weeks ago. It was mainly for our Mexican friend Alba. Anyways...we arrived at the Holiday Inn...pleasant place for SaLsa dancing by the way...and did not know what to expect...as usual.
We sat down at a table which doesnt seem to last too long because any woman sitting is immediately approached by a gentleman who is eagerly awaiting to take you away to the dance floor...Terry was approached by a man whose red irridescent shirt shimmered under the pale light, illuminating so wonderfully onto the dance floor...and white jeans and cowboy boots...talk about a SaLsa partner...
I was finally asked by a younger guy who admitted to not knowing how to SaLsa very well
He taught me the basics and I felt like an idiot the whole time
I knew my experience with SaLsa wasnt good enough with this partner so I took my chances elsewhere
but before moving on to someone else I took a break but it wasnt long before a much much older short-statured man carrying a drink yelling, "I am "G" approached our table. "Who wants to dance? " He kept asking. He wouldnt take no for an answer so I told him I would go...
I was betting all my money on G to show me how to really SaLsa.
I told him I sucked which I did but he said hed teach me
He was actually skilled and probably for the next half hour he taught me all the basics and some "advanced" moves that I cant share with you...ok just messing...they were just tricky turns and what not...nothing a novice would know how to do or be taught
I got free lessons from the guy and sweated way too much for leisurely dancing.
But I sure did have some solid wholesome fun...but I wont dedicate my life to this unfortunately
I cannot just be "strictly ballroom"
In conclusion I want to leave you not with words of wisdom but with a mental note...and a cliche
looks can be deceiving!
Expert SaLsa dancers dont look it...they possess a nonsensical kind of fashion in which cowboy gear and colored jeans are of the norm and they sport the mullet like it didnt even exist...long, flowy in the back and clean-cut on the top...im mainly speaking about the men but they really get your attention in the "hey make fun of me" kind of way.
So I hope you can rest well knowing what Im up to on a Tuesday night in Chico...I could be in the arms of any old random man who loves to dance SaLsa more than eat salsa
good night
love you all
especially all you crazy kids!
-jamie
(*picture seen here is a flashy dance move performed by flashy SaLsa dancers...no one was harmed or injured during this highly-skilled turn as shown)

no more 155 college drive

2006-01-27T21:28:00.000-08:00

as you know...my new home is not 155 college drive anymore
it is really sad...
parting is such sweet sorrow
but i do have to say that my new roommates are just as crazy and they love me
so everything is good in my new house
but one thing we do here that 155 college drive could not do for 6 roommates is eat at the table for dinner most nights
but eating in the living room is just as fun and what makes 155 college drive what it is
i still love everyone in it
hi old roomies and everyone who still passes through that house on a whatever basis
good night
its only 9 3o on a friday and my night is pretty much over
i am tired...i guess im old and boring now...who knows?
take care
God bless you fine folks!!!
-jamie

EVERYONE IS GONE!! :(

2005-12-20T23:44:00.000-08:00

And not gone as in left for Christmas break...because although that is a reason for the house being empty, I am in fact talking about how two more of the orginals have moved out of the 155! Am very sad right now...and I know that this blog is not to be taken serious...BUT I FEEL THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE DOCUMENTED!!! That's right...Sara Herero & Jamie Brezmus moved out yesterday morning, Monday December 19th @ 11am-ish! Tears fell...many hugs were given...and a few "I LOVE YOU"s thrown out there too! Oh yeah, and a new tradition was born! I was given a present by Sara & Jamie, something they really thought I would enjoy/cherish/keep forever/love with all my heart/never throw away/stare in awe/display for all to see...I think you get the point. Anyways, I was given this bird (looks like a boat) statue/figurine that came from Ikea because I was the only person that probably came to mind when they thought what to do with the thing! After staring in amazement at the wonder before me, I jokingly stated I would only keep it if it was signed by the departing members of this household...AND MUCH TO MY WONDERING EYES DID APPEAR, a sharpie marker, retreived by Sara and two quick signatures...NO QUESTIONS ASKED! So...a new tradition was born...AND DON'T YOU WORRY ROOMMATES THAT HAVE ALREADY LEFT...I'M BRINGIN' IT TO VEGAS ON NEW YEARS FOR YOU TOO TO SIGN!! I know you're excited...try to hold it in until I see you next! Right now it's safely teetering atop the bookshelf next to the statue of David while the knome (sp?) looks up in angst at the buddy buddy thing going on between Dave and the Bird...maybe I'll take a picture...but probably not so just use you're imagination at the scene that I just set before you! So this blog is ridiculous, no real need to write it except to say that I REALLY REALLY MISS EVERYONE! IT'S SAD THAT EVERYONE IS LEAVING...BECAUSE I REALLY LOVE YOU ALL AND AM GOING TO MISS YOU GUYS TERRIBLY AND WILL PROBABLY GO INTO DEBT BECAUSE MY TRAVELS THAT WILL TAKE PLACE TO SEE YOU ALL!

I can't wait for the reunions...new years'...urbana..."the wedding"...random road/flight trips...AND THE CENTER (can't forget the center!!)

UNTIL NEXT TIME!
INFINITE X's & O'z! :P--------

My First Blog

2005-12-02T21:13:00.000-08:00

So... I feel so at home with the ridiculousness of the college drive house that is happening tonight. This is my first blog written EVER! I never thought this day would come but since it's just a ridiculous blog I guess it's not so bad. Tonight was...well.... fun! With the adventure starting at the Olive Garden amoungst high schoolers going to the Military Ball and wearing bras with strapless dresses that not only looked ridiculous (i like that word) but very trashy. AND the LIVE view of some first date action happening right in front of us that was like watching a chick flick in the making... until they started feeding eachother, then it was jsut kinda sick... although Laurie just kept laughing her manly deap laugh we all know and love. The night continued... but first we had to "page" Meredith so she would come upstairs and steal some mints for us.. which we now have an abundance of sitting in the freezer. So.. we left the Olive Garden... to continue our night of fun... which turned into sitting in the living room on myspace for an hour... only talking a bit while Laurie and I were trying to find all 75 bands in some picture posted on myspace... after an hour of looking and making up some band names becuase we couldn't figure out what things meant, Laurie found a cheat sheet so we moved on in life. We decided to do something not so lame so that when sara herr called her "jewish prince" he wouldn't call her lame... so.. I got up and...... we talked about watching a movie so that when people showed up it'd look like we were cool... but that was only talk and never really happened and I didn't know what else to do so.... I got some mints out of the freezer ;) and then sat back down to write my first blog ever!

so now here we sit... almost 2 hours later... laurie on myspace and IMing... sara on myspace finding all her old friends that are now engaged... and me... writing this blog... people are on their way here... probably more people than any of us are prepared to have in this house... but oh well... we don't care that it's friday and we're myspacing and we're all happy.... and the college drive ridiculousness continues........

oh... and apparently 5 seconds now equals 15 years....

that's all..... ~Tabor

office space...multiple choice

2005-11-28T20:04:00.000-08:00

I have created a sensational game in which a person who works in some sort of office space selects from these array of cubicle pictorials to best determine their actual cubicle in their own working environment...
its ingenious and ridiculously stupid all at once
once you play youll never stop
youll have hours of laughs and comparisons between your own cubicle and the ones displayed below
each game comes with 5 pictorials of the most common cubicles found in any given office space like working environment
(*there is no cited source for this info)
theres no timer, bulky game board or tiny pieces that you end up losing anyways
so its the best game yet
play with your friends or play all alone
the choice is up to you
no one cant have a cubicle that doesnt look remotely like the ones given
so you win everytime
brilliant right?
batteries are not included in this game because none are needed
it JUST doesnt get any better than this
remember...everyones a winner...especially if you have your own cubicle
even if you dont have your own cubicle...let your imagination run wild
im sure youve thought of yourself in a cubicle at least once or twice before...come on...admit it...you have but dont be embarrassed or deny the wonder of office space
but choose wisely because cubicles arent to be taken lightly
they are a serious working environment for millions...
and our dear friend chrissie resides in one...
have fun!!!
and be a good sport

1. the classical 4 man group cubicle featuring the around the clock set up in oak wood finishing...space is limited but there is a camaraderie formed amongt the co-workers and personal space just doesnt exist!

2. very professional yet sleek, this neighbor style is conducive for space saving and privacy for the workers, all wood in mahogny finish

3. this modern cubicle is a face to face corner set up, great room and mobility for the worker, the unique blend of wood and steel finishing gives this the contemporary uplift that all office spaces are looking for

4. this chic but not too overdone handsome jet black finish also features the face to face corner, but its extended to maximize office space for a large and growing company...nothing shabby about this one...

5. not highly common but very praised and admired, this one unit cubicle is every worker's dream in any office space world...the unique three-cornered feature gives a great deal of office space for just one worker...this means the possibilities are endless...the worker is free to walk around in the cubicle...and make great use of their space...the neutral blending tones send a calming and less stressful and distractive feel in the working environment...many admit to staying past their shift in order to embrace and spend quality time in their cubicle...i wouldnt blame them for that!

dont tell me what to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2005-11-28T19:42:00.000-08:00

here are the top five sissy words to use in one's blog
(like sara herr would do of course)
1. prance....you know...what the senseless reindeers do on top of the roof before christmas
2. flamboyant...the pathetic and lowly description of a gay sword dancer...or ru paul
3. mustard...what robin is to batman in the condiment packet world alongside ketchup...in the ambiguously gay kind of way
4. ro sham bo...the highly skilled decision making process between the president and his cabinet members...i think...right???
5. yogurt...this delicate treatsie is unfortunately not loved by many in the blog world...
take sara herr for example...her mere love for food is drastically halted by the dysfunctional idea that yogurt comes from hell...well...we cant win 'em all
and number six...the word that sara did not include in her list of sissy words to use in one's blog
...nestcock...
look that one up...i dare you
and remember to look BOTH ways before crossing...especially here in reno near the university when using a cross walk...it doesn't always mean someone will stop as all law abiding citizens and more importantly...drivers should do

ohhh yeah

2005-11-23T23:01:00.000-08:00

new words...
prance
flamboyant
mustard
ro sham bo
yogurt.... hehe... eww

I dont even know how to log in anymore...

2005-11-23T22:51:00.000-08:00

I AM 155 ALIVE AND LOOKIN DAMN GOOD BABY... even after birthing the brady bunch... hmmm... was this what you wanted otero.... a cheap laugh on behalf of my college degree with a concentration on english... i am sure my parents did not spend thousands of dollars for this to be the most useful way that i use my degree... and if not most useful... at least most enjoyable.... i eagerly await our weekend together... and fully intend to be thankful to see my astranged roommate over this fine american holiday... hehe... i love and cant wait to see what the hell comes of these shenanigans... thanks for starting us up again... peace out girl scout

No Blogs = No FUN!!

2005-11-23T15:00:00.000-08:00

an ode to headbanging, hiccups and falling off things!!!!

2005-10-29T01:44:00.000-07:00

I must...what's the word...defend myself!! Jamie just made me read the blog postings in first southern, then british, then asian, then swedish, then indian, then a mixy of both swedish & Indian...Although you might think that's a difficult task, I am well versed in imitating the vernaculars of the different langugages of the world, I really wish you would've been here to hear the ridiculousness of the noise being created by none other than me!!! Now the only reason I fell of the couch was because my head weighed me down from the heaviness of my enormous nerd/clown glasses causing me to be top heavy and therefore falling of the couch in what seemed slow motion! I had fun tonight...it was a good time...and yeah, I did take a picture of myself...what?!? I needed a new picture and Sara Herr wasn't doing the best job of pushing the button so I took it upon myself and i think some of them turned out...hmmm...as best as humanly possible!! Sara now went to bed and I think it's bound for me to do the same...I'M SUPER DUPER TIRED and although I really wish I could wear my gianorous glasses forever...I CAN'T...of course there's always 2nd chance prome...which I totally just plan on wearing my Halloween Costume instead of finding some ridiculous dress...I really think that would be way more fun!!!! Oh wHOA, the next Harry Potter movie comes out in 20 some days an d I'm super excited and just hope the moview is better than the last one or else I might have to resort to just reading the books which is slightly lame because I like movies. Okay I think my eyes have finally glazed over to the point where I can't really see anything I'm typing and I need to go brush my teeth and take out my contact so I can go have a restful night of slumber! Peace out all you constant readers (that goes to all the straglers that happen to appear upon this site!) I must go because I really feel the need to fill out so I reall can't can't wait! Oop...just about fell asleep while typing! which means time to sleep! HURRAY FOR SLEEP!!!! See you all laters!!! jAMIE IS RANDOMLY CLEANING AT 1;45 in the morning...i just thought you'd like toknow that...to give you an updateded image of jamie in you ...I think it's pretty cool that they' :P----- Okay, PeAcE & LoVe!!!

~*HeArhEr~*

P.S: My head has reached it's full heaviness! Off to bed my people...and I'm taking my hiccuping, giant sunglasses off to bed so dream of all thosed things that our awaiting us to be dreameed!!!

P.S: I don't know if this makes absolutely no sense...I don't think it does (I ALMOST FELL OVV THE TRAIL!)

oKAY...again...GOODNIGHT!!!

IF YOU ONLY KNEW...

2005-10-29T01:18:00.000-07:00

Chris Isaak is not just an iconic name in the music industry...if you care for that kind of twang...lovey dovey music...
but its a well known drink amongst some of my study abroad friends
its the perfect blend of KAS limon and cheap Don Simon red wine bought in a paper box at the grocery store
mind you...
the ChrisIsaak is pronounced as one word, with the initial stress on the I....followed by a secondary stress in the final syllable
sorry....linguistics has become a strange reality in my life...i actually love the class...getting off subject now
there is plenty to go around with the ChrisIsaak and cost efficient as well for a good time
anyhow
just some food for thought!!!!!

Endless shrimp= endless excretion

2005-10-07T22:33:00.000-07:00

Although it seems like a good idea at the time, endless shrimp ends up leaving you with an endless supply of excrement. If I had any more shrimp scampi, my stomach would have exploded like that girl I read about in a book about cadavers. Her stomach could not hold the 5.7 liters that she ended up eating that cold, blustery, gluttinous night. She should have refrained from the dozen donuts, 3 cheeseburgers, 6 slices of pizza, half a bucket of chicken, bowl of matzah ball soup, cucumber, a double decker sandwich complete with bacon turkey mayo and some capers sprinkled over the top, and 5 scoops of butter pecan ice cream with hot creamy caramel. But she didn't....she died of an exploded stomach. Good thing I escaped the grips of death this time cause that would be a horrible way to meet the good Lord above. However, orange delites, miami vices and ddr are the perfect end to a gluttinous evening.

Paulie Shore is REALLY old!

2005-10-03T22:57:00.000-07:00

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y209/cheddar624/dog.jpg

hmmm...does something look wrong here or is just us?!?

Were watching Encino Man on TBS right now...fun times fun times!! But Paulie shore has really long hair (*sniff*&*tear*)...and is really super old we decided and kinda just dropped off the face of the earth. Remember when he was on that episode of Punked when that little boy was interviewing "celebrities" during this red carpet event and started asking Paulie questions and he got really pissed off and cussed the little boy out!! No? You don't remember...well I do!! :P--

who else lives here????

2005-09-30T00:21:00.000-07:00

sometimes 6 people is not enough to live with at 155 college drive...but thats why i love 155 college drive
it caters to everyones needs...even the random drunks who come scraggling to the door step....or jennies door for that matter...i love 155 college drive because apparently warren d chick still lives here...even though we have never seen him actually here...well his mail is continuously arriving at our house... sometimes erik stevenson or somebody like that shows up in our mail too...these mysterious people actually dwelled at 155 college drive...but i know for sure that joanne used to live at 155 college drive...and ive heard her voice too...kinda spooky
only 155 college drive will do for any of us
even spencer lange or the old roomies or even emmelynn and julie...
they cant get enough of 155 college drive
have you gotten enough of 155 college drive?
i didnt think so
so ill keep saying 155 college drive
but wouldnt it be weird if 155 college drive were 144 college court or 133 college sreet? I dont know i have to get the dye out of my hair....its past due
good night!!!!

JET LAG SUCKS ASS!!

2005-09-29T00:47:00.000-07:00

So it is 1:15 and I have the worst case of jet lag ever! And so I am sitting here with my new roommate Lauren (who like the gilmore girls as much as me and would never argue from the conservative christian viewpoint!). We are surfing the net which is nice since we have had very little computer time in the past three weeks but is now getting old and I would really like to sleep. I feel like sleep will never come because we are taking turns having massive diarreah attacks in our temporary home in south l.a. Oh the joys of traveling to the developing world! I am now making her search for crackers because I am freaking hungry considering I pooped out every last grain of rice I ate in the Philippines...too much info I know!! But I am really happy to see the blog back in action...and let's be honest, glad to know I am being thought about. I have been majorly missing all my college drive girls and friends today. I even miss that sick ass plaid couch and wish I was sitting there with you sara freakin herr. Oh friends I love you all and miss you more than you could know. Thanks for all of the ridiculous phone messages!!

HmMmMmMm....

2005-09-24T14:21:00.000-07:00

It has been quite the amount of time since I have posted a blog... and rightly so....however... I feel as though it is justified to at this time resume the special pastime commonly know as posting a blog... and what subjects will I cover in said blog.... nothing.... because Ihave no profound words to say about anything at this present moment in time... and I am watching a mid day rerun of super nanny.... I miss Chrissie.... get your ass back on the plaid couch...Sarushkah Babushkah

did you ever wonder why every starving, guitar playing musician on the streets always plays "losing my religion?" i dont know...i just thought about it...all i can remember is when i was in italy and some crazy guitar man butchered the song but he did it so that it was amusing...on the other hand...the drunk guy in the irish pub in england knew the words but had no right singing it...ok good night...as always!

I think it's time to celebrate

So I am blogging for the first time in like months. I have this constant knot in my stomach and I feel like I am gonna barf at any moment, every moment...and I thought blogging might help (I have tried everything else). It actually is kinda working. I mean if I can't actually be in the college drive house I might as well blog on the official website, right? And you know what I can feel the knot loosening as I type. Because as I type I start to feel like I am sitting on the nasty plaid couch watching Heather write down all the lame things we say on index cards (like this picture's out to freak me!) I can practically hear Sara begging Jamie to cook her some food. I can feel the beat of Go West as Cameron and Terry are playing DDR. Yes, it is all coming back to me now. Jamie is freaking out because once again she has forgotten to do a WT paper and Laurie is peeking her head into the living room to tell us that once again she is going to bed before 10pm...but not before we make her dance in her usual uncordinated manner as she punches her fists into the air and we all laugh! Man, I sure do miss each and every college drive roomie, both official and honorary. What I would give to hear Spencer Lange say, "I'm a sad panda" or to come upstairs from the dungeon and see Mikey Cutler making hummus! If I had one wish, besides asking for world peace, I would ask to be transported to that over crowded house and I would be eating lumpia and adoboe and drinking Charles Shaw with all my favorite people and we would be watching a Korean drama or The O.C. season 1 on DVD!! Well, I am starting to feel better already just pretending to be there with all of you. Why did I leave 155 Alive anyway?...oh yeah God asked me to go. I hope you all know how much you mean to me and that I miss you oh so much!!!
--Chrissie

P.S. Did you guys notice that some guy from Richmond, Virginia has been reading our blog...so weird...I forget that other people actually read our randomness!

I am growing anxious!

2005-08-09T09:35:00.000-07:00

Because we will all be together again so soon!!! I miss you all and can NOT NOT NOT wait until we are all together being ridiculous again... yay for the wedding of the year and for friends being back together! Sara

Hey all of you crazy cats! I know that as I am writing this before I begin my day that you people are all probably just getting ready to hit the sack... but thats ok... but I just wanted to tell you that I miss and love you a lot!! It is hard to be ridiculous and care about the important things in life like DDR and America's Next Top Model on your own... there just are not many people who truly understand the beauty of the ridiculousness of our lives... so in not so many words at such early a time in the day... I just wanted to say that I love and miss you!

ThAiM of my LiFe!!

2005-07-07T02:47:00.000-07:00

Alright…I’ve been back for a week now, in these lovely states that are united as the DeAr LaUrEn would put it…and I suppose it is now time to become reacquainted with this fabulousness we call a blog! You guys are so random and crazy...I LOVE the dating rules...I think we should type out the entire list and hang it on one of the walls in our living room! So...I’m not really sure what to write now…Thailand was AWESOME…and I wish I was still there right now…only with all of YOU, because it was great seeing everyone since I missed you all A TON! And for those who are outside the greater Reno area and I haven’t gotten a chance to see yet…just beware…I might pounce you (as in run at you...awaiting a huge hug) with great force! I’m still being plagued by the nastiness of jetlag! For some reason tiredness just hits me in the afternoons and I’m incapable of moving…I pass-out on my couch and then wake up an hour or two later from my power nap ready for the day…or night rather. I mean…it’s almost 3 am and I’m wide awake! Anyways...I’ll leave you with some of the wonderful Thai I learned this summer…HoPe YoU eNjOy!! :P---

***disclaimer…these phrases are spelled phonetically so that you too can speak the wonderful language of Thailand~***
Swatdee kah – Hello
Sabadee mai (my) – How are you?
See-kee ow – Green (only the most awesome color ever...in my opinion anyways)
Jai yen-yen nah – Easy Tiger (this was the first thing I learned how to say and could actually remember!)
Na rock jang – What’s up babe!
Mai! (my) - NO! (I said this A LOT!)
Koon Choo Arai Kah - What's your name?

Ummm…that’s all I can think of right off the top of my head at the moment...but just you wait...I know a lot of FUN things to say...and I know a lot of food stuff but I’ll spare you having to read anymore and say GoOdNiGhT!! :D

155 girls who are NOT in Reno…I miss you all so much!!!…SARA…CHRISSIE…TERRY…LAUREN…this means you!!!
TABOR and JAMIE…I miss you too…but I know I’ll be visiting you guys every chance I get!

8. Must have a desire to travel... it is not cool to stay in Reno forever... in fact it is actually uncool!!
9. He must shower regularly... its sad to say... but this standard must be set...
10. And he must must must be willing to partcipate in spontaneously choreographed dancing... yes this is the ultimate telling of whether or not you could be the man for me...

Well thats that... I hope you enjoy these little rules... and good luck in love!!

I am going to vomit!!

2005-06-16T19:18:00.000-07:00

And I have many great reasons to want to do so... for one... the over indulgence of a Jack in the Box spicy chicken sandwich... and curly fries... yummm... but all that food has pushed me over the edge... and Jamie waving homemade party mix... or should I say tons of random crap thrown into a bowl... does not help my situation in the slighest... ok... number two reason for wanting to ralph... the overwhelming amount of packing/ room moving that I must accomplish in the next twenty four hours... I feel as if it will never be done... and so I mus sacrifice my morning sleep in order to complete this awfl endeavor... mind you I am watching The Breakfast Club as I write this... but that is one sacrifice that I am not willing to make to finish up my move... premise for need to vomit number three... going to New York for the summer... not a bad vomit... but a nervous/ excited sort of anxious need to vomit... reason number four... a week at home with the folks.. always crazy... and reason number five.... ummmmm.. well I guess just life... anyways... I guess this is my way of saying peace out Reno... I will hopefully hit this mother up a few times over the summer... Heather.... give me a drunk dial on the big day... tell me how much you love me... haha... and everyone else who calls college drive their home... or even seond home... I will see ya at the wedding... and will keep you updated on my cross sountry bowel movements... see ya and have a fun fun time!!!! Sara Herrero

2005-06-08T14:39:00.000-07:00

oh my gosh!!!
tabor is turning 19
you know what that means?
absolutely nothing because you still cant drink
but we are happy for her anyways
you have to convince yourself that being 19 is so exciting and different than being 18
at least thats what i had to do...although it didnt really work
actually i remember hating being 19 for the whole entire year i was 19
i hope you wont feel that way tabor
***sidenote***
tabor feels like a drunk drnking martinelli....thats as close as she can get to alcohol...she sounds like shes drunk though...
tabor also informed me that the olsen twins' birthday is the 13th....why? i dont know....i guess her friends birthday is the same or something like that
we will be recycling the martinelli bottle...thats important

2005-05-29T01:15:00.000-07:00

HELLO ALL MY DARLINGS!! JUST THOUGHT I'D WRITE A HELLO FROM THAILAND!!! AND JUST SO YOU KNOW...YOUR TOMORROW (WHICH IS MY TODAY) IS GOING TO BE GRAND!! :P ANYWAYS...I LOVE YOU ALL SO AND MISS YOU LOTS!!! AND I'LL TALK TO YOU ALL LATERS!!! ~*hEaThEr*~

A short GoodBye to you ALL!!

2005-05-24T04:27:00.000-07:00

I'M LEAVING RENO IN LESS THAT 6 HOURS...I'M LEAVING YOU ALL FOR FIVE WEEKS IN THAILAND...I SHOULD BE FAST ASLEEP RIGHT NOW...BUT...The YAWNS won't stop and the SLEEP won't come!! So I'm sitting here on the floor of the living room at 4 something in the morning...wishing I could sleep, but I can't! So many things are swimming around in my mind right now...and I can't stop them long enough to shut my eyes and fall asleep...so my solution...why write something on this wonderful blog of course...perhaps it will be therapeutic and help the zzzzz come quickly so I can at least get a somewhat decent amount of sleep tonight before heading off to the airport early tomorrow morning! And plus...I won't get to write on here for five weeks...so I need to take advantage of this "free time!" and since no one is here to talk to me because everyone is sleeping like normal human beings I'll write! Anyways...I'm COMPLETELY packed finally...it didn't take very long...it was just the actual act of packing that was hard for me! I despise packing...unpacking sucks too...but packing just isn't fun! What's fun about shoving things into a bag...nothing, that's what!! Today is my brother's 16th birthday...weird...he can drive now...and since it's May 24th...that means exactly one month until I turn the ripe old age of 21...WOO-HOO!! AAAHHHH...I just got really scared...and it's all Tabor's fault!! I just saw something move in the hallway and I'm definitely the only one awake in the house!! The BOY IN THE CLOSET....he's baaaaack!! Okay...I think I'm good...I've calmed myself...at least enough to start with my goodbyes to my AwEsOmE rOoMmAtEs that I will miss dearly!!!
To all of you ---> I'll miss you and all the ridiculous acts of randomness and just plain weirdness that occurs in our house on a regular basis!! I can't wait to see you when I get back!!!
LAURIE ANN ~ I'll miss you...I could hardly cope when you were only gone for like 8 days...what am I suppose to do without you for FIVE WEEKS!! I know I'll survive...but really...this will be the longest amount of time we've been separated without communication in like...two years I think! I'll shed tears for you every night!!...and I'll teach the children how to dance like you so the amazing "Laurie dance moves" can be spread across the globe!!! :D
JAMIE ~ I'll miss our acts of randomness in the living room and the constant smell of your cooked food every time I walk through the front door! Have fun with your soon to be only roommate Tabor while I'm gone...and I can't wait to hear about the amazing employment of feeding people when I come back!! haha...I still can't believe that you might get to do that!!!
SARA BETH ~ I'll miss our random acts of silliness in the living room too...and watching you nap on the couch or read non-trashy romance-esque high school books about a girl named Christie Miller (haha)...and the way we can't be left alone together because something alway goes crazy (like making banana muffins or really any food for that matter...we're the first and only I think to be banned from the kitchen when in each other's company...when we're by ourselves or with someone else it's okay...but us together is not a good combination)...ooo I'll miss scanning the pantry, then fridge, then freezer the same way as you too, only to discover there's nothing to eat! Have fun in the lovely state of New York this summer!!
CHRISSIE ~ I miss you already...only because you've been gone for a couple days now...and I miss our together time watching tv in the morning and shopping in the afternoon! haha...and who else would do a puzzle with me during their summer vacation...why you of course!! I was just looking at my the pictures on my phone, and a majority of them are of you doing just plain weird things...and I love them so much...they make me laugh hysterically!! oh no...You'll be all moved out by the time I come back...which makes me a sad panda...and I won't get to see you until "the wedding of all weddings"...but I'll call you when I get back!! ooooo :( oh yeah...Email me your address in Utah too!!
TERRY BART-TA-MASE ~ i'll miss your amazing cooking skills...and the way you dominate on a DDR pad!! YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED...and really...people say they didn't even know you were dating someone! HA...all they had to do was follow us during the little photo-shoot around UNR campus, then they would have seen the two of you!! That scene under that weird tent tree....ahhh...priceless!! Have fun in Vegas this summer and I'll see you at your wedding...the wedding I've now named "the Wedding of all weddings!"...i'm not sure why, the name just seemed to fit for some reason!!
MY-REDITH ~ haha...kinda sounds like meredith if you say it funny! I'll miss you my crazy oddball of a friend!! I had fun being your replacement Lauren for the semester...and then Strongbad Rosenkoer...and now the person you think of when the Lonely song comes on! Now every time I hear that song I have the sudden urge to find mikey mouse gloves and sing along...but mikey mouse gloves are surprisingly hard to come by though!! I'll miss you tons...and can't wait to see you when i return!!
LAUREN WRIGHT ~ the long lost world traveling of a roommate that was not forgotten!! I can't believe you get back tomorrow!!! ONE DAY AFTER ME!! That sucks...I've had to wait an entire semester to see you...now five more weeks...plus some more since I probably won't see you until August when you, meredith, and I will be escorting each other!! I wish I could be there to greet you back into the states that are united my wonderful Lauren friend!!
AND TABOR VOL-BEEEER-DING! ~ you're now my roommate for the summer...which i'm so excited for! So far it's been fun...watching you try and play DDR, eat slightly warm pickles...and then really cold (dare I say close to freezing) pickles, and you to falling victim to the Christie Miller series books!! Can't wait to come back and actually live with you for more that a day or two!! Good luck finding the perfect job for you!! LIKE THE RECyclEr!! oh yeah...and I definitely won't forget the pickle burps...they'll always remind me of you!!
I know this blog sounds like I'll never see you again...and it's really just wrong now that I look at it...so I'm sorry you had to read this...but it's just that I haven't been away from all of you or 155 for such an extended amount of time since I moved in last year!! I'll miss you all my wonderful friends and roommates! And now I must leave you with some parting words of wisdom that I myself was made aware of earlier tonight ---> A sign next to a park with children playing on a tetter-totter does not mean that an actual tetter-totter exists to play on...but rather it is a universal sign for a park...who knew!!! :P

2005-05-22T21:28:00.000-07:00

because...well...he was...a man that is, that robbed a bank and sought refuge in our amazon of a jungle backyard!! Friday morning, much to everyone's surprise...cops came trampling through the backyard! That's right...through the back gate that has the lock on the outside so any crazy can go back there, including the "mystery" tp-ers...around the ping-pong table that is warped beyond belief from the 4 feet of snow that once rested atop it, but that's okay because now we can play the wonderful game of dundadun EXTREME PING!...up the pine-needle laiden pathway...past the amazing gazebo you can see from the street that now has a workable light inside so you can see the wonderfulness of nature during the darkest of nights...past "the oldest pine trees in Reno"...up towards the ridiculous corn fields that for some reason grow back there...up to the sandy lot that now is eye level with the second floor of the enormous house that is currently being built next door! So yes, they walked past the back kitchen windows several times...we watched from the back door window and then ran and watched through Laurie's bedroom windows until I finally managed to open the back door...it's a sticky little bugger! Heather (not me...the new addition to this household) speaks "Excuse me...excuse me...is there something going on here?!?" And that's when he told us the situation at hand. Yes...a man, after robbing a bank decided that our backyard would be the perfect hideout...no one could possibly find him back there...unless of course he was followed by the police officers chasing him...which was in fact the case. I'm not sure what his thought process was at the time...but really...if I robbed a bank and was running from the law...first, I wouldn't think to run and hide in the 155 college drive backyard...second, there's really no where to go unless you want to plummet to your death by jumping off the rock wall down to the sidewalk on Sierra Street...and third, I'd hide under the ping-pong table covered with the enormous yellow tarp, because you know no one would look under there, because who would really hide under a ping-pong table!! THEN...as I went to close the screen door that had been opened by the perpetrator to the back door that he had tried to enter and since the conversation with the cop had come to an abrupt end...another cop informed us that a sidearm was missing...A WHAT?!?...a G-U-N...and if we find it we are NOT to touch it...but call 911!! Yeah...it's a true story! I think I might just have to relive the campout in the backyard from last year EVERY night so I don't miss whatever other excitement might decide to run, wander, and hide in the BaCkYaRd! And people wonder why I fear walking in the dark by myself...because oddities like this happen!!! THAT'S WHY!

the secret about terry cloth!!!

2005-05-22T12:44:00.000-07:00

allyson is very special and holds a special place in our hearts...for those of us who know her...she is very ridiculous...smart...musically inclined...and has no sense of shame when it comes to wearing terry cloth...just for that i love her to death...no one else i know has sported the one-piece terry cloth with such style than allyson has...its gone from hanging on the racks at every thrift store to top of the line fashion...anyways i just wanted to give you a glimpse into the life of allyson...ive also provided some definitions of terry cloth from various sources on the web...enjoy...and please...comments are appreciated...we take great value in others thoughts...have a great day...

Fibre: Cotton and some linen. Weave: Pile, also jacquard and dobby combined with pile. Characteristics: Either all over loops on both sides of the fabric or patterned loops on both sides. Formed with an extra warp yarn. Long wearing, easy to launder and requires no ironing. May be bleached, dyed, or printed. Better qualities have a close, firm, underweave, with very close loops. Very absorbent, and the longer the loop, the greater the absorbency. When the pile is only on one side, it is called "Turkish toweling". Uses: Towels, beachwear, bathrobes, all kinds of sportswear, children's wear, slip covers, andwww.ntgi.net/ICCF&D/cotton.htm

A cotton fabric with moisture-absorbing loop pile covering the entire surface on one or both sides. Used for home fashions, as well as summer apparel.www.table-kitchen-linen.com/cotton-fabrics-glossary.html

A typical uncut pile weave fabric. This fabric is formed by using two sets of warp yarns. One set of warp yarns is under very little tension; when the filling yarns are packed into place, these loose yarns are pushed backward along with the filling yarns, and loops are formed. Typical uses include towels, robes, and apparel.www.cyberfiberonline.com/glossary.shtml

Medium-weight, soft, cotton-type fabric with low twist yarns forming surface loops.www.pioneerlinens.com/index.cfm

A woven cloth (usually cotton) used for making bathrobes and towels, with small loops on one or both sides to give it a soft, cushy feel.www.glencoe.com/sec/busadmin/marketing/dp/ap_and_acc_mktg/gloss.shtml

I can't believe it, 100 people have officially visited our blog...Okay Okay granted some of those visitors were us checking out if people are really sneaking some peaks. But people really are taking the time to read our piece o sh**. I'm not sure if that makes me glad or terribly embarrassed. Probably more of the latter. Anyway if you read this you should post a comment unless you are as embarrassed to read this as I am to help produce it. Well, that's all the blogging I have in me for now. If you're happy and you know it clamp your hams!! ---chrissie

You people are blogging Faahrrreeakks!

So, here I am sitting in a youth hostel in Florence, Italy, that's right, Florence ITALY (like the name of the Centaur, who my friend thinks is very HOT in Harry Potter) and I decide to show these lovely 2 girls I've been travelling through Europe with just who Lauren is and who she lives with. So I click on the blog, which has been DEAD for the past 4 months I have been living abroad and well you guys have sprung back to life, which leads me to believe you are NOT studying for finals and instead BLOGGING. What has this world come to you freaks? STUDY! as I roam around Europe you should be studying to get good grades! Only kidding. So, alas, I am here to update you guys that I will be back in those lovely states that are united on the eve of May 25th. I will then be travelling to that HOT city we know was home, Las Vegas that Monday, where I will maybe see some of my fellow Las Vegans. Maybe not, since some are going to THE PHILIPPINES. WOOOHOO. So, y'all know the tele #, gimme a call, but not after 8pm! P.S. Meredith and Heather I accept the date invitation to THE WEDDING of the century.

Why Blog, Why Not?!?!

No good reason for blogging except for blogging's sake and the fact that I don't want to clean our nasty house right now...It has been a long day. First we massively prepped for Terry's bridal shower, then we went to the shower, then we came home for not enough time to barely even sit, then we went to Julie's birthday dinner and now they are trying to convince us to go sing karaoke. But I don't want to...I just want to waste my time blogging it up about nothing at all. Ok now I am over it...Im about to have a serious convo with my dear friend Sara Herr who is special in both good and bad ways...If you want to know the bad way, ask her to make her ugly face and you will see. catch ya all on the flipside (whatever that means). --Chrissie

Everyone's gone NuTtY...

Cuticles are flammable when soaked in nail polish remover for an extended amount of time…did you know that? It says so on the bottle…who knew! Our good friend Wes "the experienced firefighter" Boatman is in our backyard right now seeing if it is in fact true, while simultaneously yelling Ga-Ga-Ga-Ga-G Unit. To go along with the flammablility of things flammable, apparently the infamous Ernie (as in Burt and Ernie) didn’t know the risk of nail polish remover. According to a reliable source, after Ernie had his daily mani & pedi combo, caught himself on fire…freak accident or negligence with a lit candle by the bath tub perhaps…the world may never know!! Rub a dub dub! Oh man…Wes has definitely just caught the ping pong table on fire. If he keeps up these shenanigans he'll be taken to the candy shop if you know what I mean…and that is NOT a place you want to go!!

Included below is a picture of Ernie’s last trip to Disneyland with his beloved friend Burt…along with lifelong pals Sponge Bob and Tinky Winky. [picture provided by the firefighter in our backyard]

I am just sick and tired of this world today...especially this iMmoral country. People allowed to freely walk around sporting mullets (busiNess in the frOnt, sick ass rat's Tail in the back), punting chihuahuAs...poor little things, people wetting themselves over blogs, what is happening to our beautiful U.S. of A. Maybe I should move to South America, although I Don't think they would appReciate my sorry white butt in a BrAzilian thong...and Man you can't live in a LAtin country without wearing a sQUeeky brazilian thong. PErhaps I will move to Asia, hopEfully I won't catch that pesky SARS. I don't know, but I've got to get out of this place...MORALS IN AMERICA ARE GONE!
