Costume Parties Are Underrated

This weekend was quite eventful for all members of the apartment. Whilst our beloved Laura ventured off to Eugene to visit her camp counselor friends, two members of the Fulwider family came to town: Mama Fulwider and Tay Tay. The classic apartment dinner was a must, even though Laura was dearly missed. The meal was characterized by fried food and milkshakes that will most definately NOT look good under all of our Halloween costumes, but who really cares. We're not the type to parade around in lingerie anyway. After an hour of Tay Tay flinging onion rings across the table, drooling on her plate and spitting carrots in Erica's hair, we went Halloween costume shopping. Deciding that all of our costumes would be based around some sort of ridiculous wig was no surprise, but what to actually dress up as was the new challenge.... after two minutes of deliberation, I am pleased to inform you that we will be dressing up as ANIME PEOPLE.

Rather than boring all of you, I will sum up the rest of the night in three words: DARE OR CHALLENGE. Allison chugged maple syrup, Erica snorted a line of powdered cheese from a Mac and Cheese box - complete with dollar bill donated by Zach Damby, Tay Tay ate a spoonful of butter with dijon mustard on it, Tasha challenged Blake to a dance off (and lost terribly), and Will and Zach leap frogged through the party in their underwear. SUCCESS. 

oh... and all this was while we were dressed up like idiots:

So what if we're kleptos?

So there's this thing called a prank, maybe you've heard of it before? you know that thing where 1 person does something weird/mildly obnoxious to another and they're supposed to think it's funny... well apparently, the residents of Kennedy 210 never learned about this oh-so-popular act of adolescent entertainment. For some reason unbeknownst to us they did not appreciate girls stealing their couch and/or inviting them to a fiesta that got cancelled due to a fake case of diarrhea.... who would've thought.... SORRY that we were all really tired that night.

And p.s. don't think we didn't notice that you stole our stool and our mat when you came on your recon mission for your couch. All we can say is... you best be sleeping with one eye open.

Meet T.E.A.L.

Wud up! Wud up! Wud up! Wud up! We just finished reading Julia's first blog post for her London experience and we decided to create a blog of our own. Whilst all of our amigos are studying abroad across the world, we figured that we needed a way to keep everyone up to date on our mundane lives at Gonzaga University in the beautiful Spokane, Washington!

To introduce ourselves we took the liberty of writing the complete and utterly truthful bio of,not ourselves, but each other:

                                                                                           Hi! I'm Laura Forester and I am from Modesto, California. For all of you Star Wars fans out there... yes, that is also the birth place of George Lucas. I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting him, but he was at my house a few years back and when the wind blows just right, I think I can smell him. In my spare time I like to make sketches of brown paper bags and doodle on my notebooks. Many people identify me with my infatuation with babies and how they are "miniature humans," but others identify me by my awkward run-ins in the library where I think I am saying "hi" to someone I know, but it is actually someone I have never seen before... I'm sure you can all identify with those types of situations :) I am majoring in Sociology.

                                                                                          WOW WOW WOW, it's me, Tasha, but you can call me tushey, ta-tas, little-indian-snookie, or anything that makes you think of kittens and gummy bears dancing and laughing in the sunshine. I am one of those people who say they're from Seattle, but really I live in this poe-dunk town called Covington with my parents and no siblings (which is probably why I fight like a hamster). When I grow up I want to be a doctor, or at least that's what I tell people, but really my only dream is to reach 5 feet tall. I like to ride horses in my free time... naked... on the beach... with my jet black hair streaming in the breeze...but don't get the wrong idea, I'm in charge of the sexual health and wellness program at Gonzaga, so put it back in your pants. But if you REALLY want to get to know me just be aware that I don't go for the typical pickup lines, I like people to talk nerdy to me.

                                                                                          Oh herro everyone! My name is Allison (Arrison, Ally Cat, poop tard, etc.). I am often described as "intimidating", but I prefer "intense". One of my pet peeves is when people aren't as smart as I am... I mean, really, does it REALLY take a half hour of painstaking questions to figure out how to draw 2,2-dimethylpropanol-4-butyl-5,7-isoleucinequinolinebenzenenonane?!?!?!?! It's not like rocket science is hard people! As you may have noticed, I like chemistry. I have lots of friends, but my best friends are inanimate things like chemicals. Who are the rest of my friends you ask? Well, "they" are Dr. Cremeens. Yes, I am as nerdy as I sound... what were you expecting from a girl who works at the library. Now that I have scared off anyone reading this, I think it's time to let you in on a few "neat" things about me. Most people like to relax by drinking a glass of tea, or watching a movie, but me? NO. I eat an entire jar of peanut butter... with my bare hands. I have the above average number of near-death experiences, many of which I can thank my crazy adrenaline-loving boyfriend for. And, most importantly, I have 1 question for you... "DARE? OR CHALLENGE?" because I'd rather watch you lick the toilet seat than hear anything truthful about your life.

                                                                                          Hi. I'm Erica Leigh Fulwider. Most people know me by my loss of keys into Kennedy or my constant outbursts of words that start with the "Oooooooooo" sound. I'm quite interested in major issues of the world like the ecosystem and biodiversity of the Himalayas. But don't be fooled. Though my long, luscious, sensual blond hair may suggest it, I'm NOT a tree-hugging, animal saving, "honk if you want peace" hippie. In fact, my food group of choice is meat. Anyone who has tried to open my freezer would be smacked in the face by my abundant supply of the variety of muscular abundance... literally. I'm inspired by most completely normal things like photos of cats and awkward fat people. I think I look really cool when I don't match my socks...or shoes...or when I go barefoot and everyone can see my missing toenails. I generally wear over-sized clothing. But that's just because I prefer to strut my stuff in Kitchen Accessories. If you want to get to know me better, be sure to ask my millions of lady-friends. Oh wait. I don't really have any. OOOOOooooooops!
