Never Gets Old

Sometimes, it is lovely to have the whole house to yourself.

This weekend, two of my roommates were invited to fraternity formals in Las Vegas and the other one had to go home to take care of her pets while her parents are away. Where does that leave me? Alone. In our four bedroom, two bathroom, part living room/kitchen apartment. Which is fine, because I actually have a lot of work to do AND I work at 4:30am tomorrow and 6:45am Sunday... So no complaints! I'll get stuff done for once!

This whole "get a lot of work done" act ended, however, when I walked to my mailbox at around 2:30 this afternoon...

My order of the Twilight dvd was backordered and then cancelled a while back. Then they sent me an email last week saying that my order had been shipped. Which was good, because I was SO upset!!! I ordered the super special edition dvd from Borders about four days before it came out... April... 15th? 16th? and it came out the 20th.  When I looked at the delivery date, it said May 2nd, so I was SOOO excited! Finally! The movie that I've been waiting for FOREVER (even though I've already seen it twice... and read the book a few times...).

So when I walked to the mailroom, I expected to put my Netflix movie in the outgoing mail box (note to others: do NOT rent My Best Friend's Girl; it is AWFUL. Sorry, Kate Hudson.), check my mail, be disappointed because it was empty, and walk back down the hall to my [almost] empty apartment (one roommate was finishing her packing). Instead, I opened my mailbox to find a delivery slip... A DELIVERY SLIP!!! DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS???

[Internal Dialogue] YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!! TWILIGHT HAS FINALLY COME!!! IT'S HERE, IT'S HERE, IT'S HERE!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!!

Okay, I realize that this is a really bad obsession, but I can't help it! I am a book worm and this story fits every book worm's needs!

So how have I spent the rest of my day? Watching every single special feature on Disk 2, watching the movie, then watching the movie with the commentary... That is when you know you have gone mental about something! But at least I realize that! If any of you haven't read the book yet (Emily, Mom), it is a must. I do have to warn you, though, if you haven't read it yet, do NOT watch the movie. It will not be the same and you will not appreciate it as much as you would if you read the book first.

Anyways, I am completely relishing in the story tonight. It may sound kind of stupid, but it just makes my desire to be a writer even stronger! I wish that I could have a really cool dream that would lead to a book!

Off to finish my movie (with commentary) and then maybe read a chapter or two... :-)

I miss you all and hope you have more time to update!

PS--Did I ever mention that the boy who "didn't want  relationship" is dating someone? I need to meet boys who do not go to USD!

Taxis, Closets, and More! Oh My!

Well we just had our first sorority event this past Saturday. And let me just tell you... being one of the sober ones in charge is highly entertaining!!

The event was our Kappa Presents (Pree-zents; not presents with bows); all of the new members (my 49 babies!! It was 50, but one girl dropped out) wear white and the active members wear black. Amy & I let whatever girls didn't want to drink come get ready in our room (we had ONE girl stop by...) and we were on the later bus.

I could have sat here and typed out every little thing that happened (I actually was; I just deleted a couple of paragraphs), but that would bore you. So I'll give you the highlights!

1. As soon as I got there, a new girl was being walked to the taxis to go home (four in all were sent home, which isn't that bad if you think about how many there were.

2. As this girl is walking out, I'm bitching out three boys who will NOT get in a taxi and take their drunk/sick friend home. Yes... B had to pull out her b***** card that night. I told them I wouldn't leave until I physically saw them get into the taxi. When they said that they were just waiting to walk up the block a little bit (because apparently it makes a big difference in getting in a taxi a block away rather than right in front of you), I replied with, "Great! I'll walk with you!" Long story short, I got them in the taxi!! :-)

3. Another new girl who got sent home came out of the dance with half of her bra showing. Her night ended in tears and a taxi ride home (but she didn't throw up!!).

4. One girl's date got sent to the hospital because he was too intoxicated.

5. I caught 5 guys trying to leave. After using my B***** card again and saying anything I could, I rounded them up back towards the ballroom. But instead, they entered the bathroom and decided to start conspiring. Less than five minutes later, all five boys sprint out of the bathroom the other direction and disperse through various exits, down the stairs, and I run to the balcony just in time to see them racing through the revolving doors. At this point, I was very frustrated, and (I probably shouldn't have done this) I yelled at them a couple of times as they were running, "I can f***ing see you!" Someone later told me they found the fact that I was shouting that hilarious. And I knew a couple of those boys names so I called them out on it at the time. When I woke up the next morning, I received this message from one of them on Facebook:

Hey Bev,I am really sorry about last night. We were all pretty drunk and Jeff and some of the other guys had called one of their friends to pick us up. I apologize, we should not have left. I don't even think anyone else was going to leave but when it turned into a spy mission to exit the premises more people joined the bandwagon. But ya I just wanted to let you know that it was a stupid drunk thing and I apologize for putting you in that situation.-Andrew

6. We found one guy asleep in a closet. Then we lost it and just went into hysterics.

All in all, it went alright for our first event. While most girls in our positions would have been crying by the end of the night, we couldn't help but laugh. Our next event is this Friday and it an exchange with a fraternity (Beta Bid Night). And just as you would expect from boys, the theme is "Trailor Trash or Made Out of Cash." Any good suggestions for a costume????

(PS--If you want to know why I have not dated/found any good USD boys, see numbers 2 and 4-6)

The one New Member who stopped by. I did her hair!! On the right is my roomie, Amy (President of Kappa!).

Rache, Amy and I; or as someone titled this picture: The Power House

Last, But Not Least

Alright. So you got me. I made a blog. But I just want you all to know, that this is pretty much going to be a distraction from homework. (Kind of like right now. But don't worry--I swear I'm going to go do it right after I finish this!)

Mom already told our Denny's story, so I don't have to relay that to you guys. Kim--I swear you would have felt the SAME way had I been you! I tried to avoid them at all cost, but instead, I was a magnet!

Oh! And I told Kim today, but I did get called "Kim" by one of my teachers today. It was one who knew Kim, of course.

If anyone is looking for a good/interesting book/author, I am currently reading Neil Gaiman's American Gods. He also wrote Stardust and Coraline, which have both been turned into movies. He has written a lot of other books besidse that, though! Speaking of which... I'm going to go continue my reading for tomorrow. I've got that and a little bit of Shakespeare to do.

Oh! And I'm getting my hair cut short tomorrow, so I'll put a picture up as soon as I can!

I'm putting some pictures from sorority recruitment down below so you know what I've been up to!

Love you all,

Bev
