Your New Aesthetic

Hmm… yes­ter­day…

Woke up and chat­ted with Jackie, of course. Did the usual rounds on Xanga. Wrote up the LONG post about the rest of pledge retreat that you see below. Watched some TV on the com­puter… Life On A Stick is great. The Office was awe­some. Two new shows I ran­domly down­loaded were good, too… Grey’s Anatomy and Eyes. That puts me into the after­noon already. (The long posts take even longer to write… trust me.)

Real­ized that I needed a ride to the meet­ing because I was bring­ing so much crap. Asked a cou­ple of peo­ple online, but no one responded. Judy offered Chris a lit­tle later to me, though. Went down­stairs for some water and got stuck watch­ing Eddie C play Mer­ce­nary for a while. It’s like GTA with a mil­i­tary skin and set in Korea. (Watch, Sophia’s going to com­ment on this post now. ) Talked online some more, and then it was time for the meeting.

The offices actu­ally ran through really fast. Before we knew it, it was time for BComm to do our thing. Peggy was the Birth­day Bee, Sophia was the Birth­day M&M, Allan was Lit­tle Red Rid­ing Hood, and I, of course, reprised my role as the Birth­day Fairy. We changed into our cos­tumes in the hall while classes around us were let­ting out… a lit­tle on the embar­rass­ing side. Tony Q put down money for me alone to booty scoop Lo S. What’s up with that?! (We col­lected around $27 in booty scoops, by the way… what an awe­some fundraiser! ) After us was Spirit, they drew atten­tion away from us very well indeed. Matt… no one will ever for­get that. Least of all Minh T. Then we had an hour of mugs, even though it was lim­ited to one a per­son. After the meet­ing, Loose Fam­ily meet­ing in the hall. Went over the usual stuff, signed up for rides, etc.

Then off Wendy’s. While in line, Esther won­dered if any­one was going to get the chili. I didn’t know, so she had to tell me about the fin­ger they found in someone’s chili in San Jose. The cus­tomer isn’t even going to sue. Wow, that’s amaz­ing in this day and age. It wasn’t even her fault, and she’s not suing? Most peo­ple do some­thing stu­pid and sue to say they shouldn’t have been allowed to do so in the first place. Good god, friv­o­lous law­suits are killing Amer­ica. But that’s another topic altogether.

So yeah, got three burg­ers and a small chili. Ate wtih Esther, Mommy Tang, and Mommy Van. Pledges came by for Mommy Tang’s sig, but couldn’t get it. Then they real­ized they also needed Mommy Van’s sig, and some peo­ple got that. (Come on! Robert’s Rules is so easy to remem­ber!) Then they walked away with­out ask­ing for mine. The sim­plest one of all. We talked about some gos­sip and of course the “who do you want for your LB” stuff. Wendy’s kicked us out at 10, and we all went home.

Real­ized when I got home that I left some stuff at Well­man, so drove back there to pick it up before it got cleaned up by the cus­to­di­ans, and then dropped off some of it. When I dropped of Alice C’s M&M cos­tume, got into a ran­dom con­ver­sa­tion with her at her doorstep. In the mid­dle of our chat, her phone rang in her room, and it led to yesterday’s quote -

“Hear that? I’m not going to get it.”- Alice C.
“But what if it’s an impor­tant APhiO or Pic­nic Day call?”- Me.
“Eh… I’m not Ser­vice any­more. I don’t have to be tied to my phone.”- Alice C.
”… but you’re Mem­ber­ship…”- Me.
“But it’s not Ser­vice. This is my way of being less involved for a term.”- Alice C.

Damn. aBB con­sid­ers being Mem­ber­ship VP “less involved.” I’m afraid to see what “involved” is for her.

Went home after that and chat­ted online for a bit and sent Grey’s Anatomy episode 2 to Mommy Van, because she hadn’t seen it yet. Then I knocked out.

Oh, by the way… I hope you guys got an eye­ful last night… I believe the Birth­day Fairy is now offi­cially retired.
