So not to start anything again but.....
Well a few of you know what this is for and the rest of y'all can just enjoy the awesome coolness of Noah, one of our kilt wearers here (it's not like they wear then every day, although his brother wears them a lot...). So there, haha.

This disturbs me...
doesn't it violate blog rules?
;)
We have a couple of kilt wearers on 2e (2 of them?) One even plays the bagpipes.
As long as we're all being honest here, I'll say that any guy who's secure enough to wear a kilt is pretty cool the way I see it. Little punk rockers who try to be all controversial, and perves who wear skirts; these people are morons. But guys who wear the real deal kilts are pretty much squared with who they are and I respect that, Ewan McGregor was wearing a kilt in one of his movies or something, but I think it's part of his nationality or something. Don't worry though, I will not be wearing a kilt any time soon.
By the way, did anyone hear that Steve Irwin, as in The Crocodile Hunter, died from a stingray barb to the heart while he was filming an underwater documentary. I'm so not kidding. I saw the headline and I was really bummed about it, he was always so cool how he'd get away with picking up random snakes and stuff and he never got hurt or anything. Like I said, it's got me all down.
Yeah, that was pretty weird. It's also strange that he died while filming a documentary about the world's most deadly creatures. Very sad, really...and all extremely sudden.
Philippa, I think I saw that guy when I visited Coventant, or maybe there is more than one resident kilt wearer at Covenant. He played the cello when I saw him...I'm sure he's very unique and I agree with Joel...it takes a VERY secure man to wear a kilt.
Yay Joel and Laura Wil!! It does take a very strong and secure man to wear a kilt. I was however a bit on the silly side last night...you know how it goes. That was fun arguing last night though. His last name's Barnett by the way, Laura, if that helps. I don't know him personally but I know lots of people who do and he seems really cool. That's interesting that they have some kilt people at Wheaton though. I love how they have the bagpipes at everything here!
yeah, I know him, and he is cool. Eccenric (sp?) But really nice. he is the one who plays the cello, but both he and his brother wear kilts occasionally, and another guy who plays the bagpipes, plus some other random people...any way,i thinks its kind of cool, but yes you would have to be very secure. (notice the combat boots and duct tape pouch...)
on a similar note, some of the guys halls here have some crazy initiations! today the hall below us, had all the freshman wear really short pj shorts around all day. one even had "boys are stupid through rocks at them" shorts. now that was a bit disturging. and the other week a differnt one made the guys shave one of their legs, wear short shorts, and wrote all over their faces with permanent marker the name of the hall: bretheren...yet another made the freshman shave their heads in wierd patterns. one guy had a side ways mohawk, like he was wearing hairy headphones.
luckily we girls are'nt so outrageous, but we are planning some pretty awesome pranks.
Sarah, you must indeed tell about these pranks of which you speak, I have a special love for such events. I talked to my roommate on the phone today, he seems cool, and we have stuff in common so I think it will go well, anyhow, I'm so ready to be 18 in nine days, I'll finally be done with that inane remark about how "you don't really own anything, it's really your parents."
Here at letourneau, Whitney's floor has to wear a cape and get it signed by guys, Penn has to wear a bar of soap on a string around their neck and get girls to engrave their names on them, the girls can ask the guy to do anything to get the signature. Today a guy sang to a girl in the cafeteria. Some guys have to wear tails, others a shaved head with a topknot. One floor carries around random objects, a guy was carrying a tire to all his classes and another carried a half-sheet of plywood with words spraypainted on it. Quad 2 has to crawl through the storm drain system and roll in flour. We had to push Pokey's truck around the campus, chug a 2 liter pop and then swim across the irrigation lake and back while blowing on a sailboat we had to build. Just think, this is only the first day of EO (extended orientation) it lasts a week.
I may very well spend orientation under my bed in hiding. Seriously though, that sounds like a lot of fun Phil, kind of crazy, but still a lot of fun.
I just stopped by the school to drop off something for Mrs. Hills, I didn't even see any students but the office was buzzing and all the teaches were bustling about, it was a blast from the not too distant past to be sure.
I'm infinitely glad that I'm not a boy on certain halls (well either here or at other colleges mentioned), that's all I have to say.
No, it's not. I mean, I don't...wait....
And 2 east has few traditions, as I suspect if people tried to coerce me into doing a tradition I don't want to, (and I certainly wouldn't volunteer) I would have to hurt people. Badly. Painfully. Not me people.
Not that I'm opposed to traditions (The soap is interesting...heck, even the hair would be fine), but some...well...I pretend to know Karate(Abby ^_^) so look out!
Hey I live in 2nd East too. We are the Bomb-diggity!! Last night we had a dance-off/lip-sync contest for all the dorms. Us Warren girls got second and our Warren gentlemen got 1st. WE SWEPT, AND BJ CAN......nevermind. BJ is our rival dorm. Anyway, we've already had 2 informal dances we have a school sanctioned one on Fri. I'm oober stoked.
Laura if you want the sheet things you have to give me your address for school otherwise it will got to your home and obviously your not there.
oh and Ty about the other day when I was IM'ing you. my keyboard stopped working and I couldn't get it to work again,so I wasn't just ignoring you. Sorry!!
Yeah right. Keyboards don't just quit. I know the real reason.
And it's Uber..not oober, sheesh. Get your American nonsense phrases right.
From now on, Whitney will go on the blog as Quad3siter, that is my AIM name and my adopted brother floor (Quad3) love it, so that's my name.
-Quad3sister
Well Whitney, when you get on you really get on huh? Did you actually get all your steps in last night or did you have to cheat? I assume you didn't, but it does seem awfully tempting. I talked to Chelsea for a minute and she also met someone who saw Wicked in New York with the original cast. I am beside myself waiting for next week. I've given up listening to it until I see it and already (about 16 hours into this situation) I'm craving it. I guess the best things in life are worth waiting for. Sorry about dancing at your school, wasn't there an eighties dance movie where dancing wasn't alowed? Maybe "Footloose" I don't know I'll look it up later. Did anybody see "United 93"? it was really good.
just in case anybody cares, are you aware that Pirates 2 is the Worldwide Third Highest Grossing movie ever! It's sitting at $998,515,202 right now and is expected to pass one billion by Friday. Seriously... it was a theme park ride. Right now, and I mean like this very second, I want to see the face of the smug jerk producer who was like "what an inane and completely profitless idea that would be" when he heard of the idea of making a movie out of the ride. Oh yeah, these things interest me greatly.
No, Joel, I didn't cheat. O.K. here is what happened:
I got the pedominator at 12:00 on Wednesday, and by chapel at 7:00, I had 8 thousand something steps, which I knew was a little off. So I asked Jonah (this quad3 friend) to adjust the stride measurement. But while he was doing it, the steps got restarted and I was back to zero!!! So all during chapel whenever we were singing I would shake the stubid thing to get my steps back to 8000. Which is when Caleb saw me and yelled across to me that I was cheating (you know, with that smile :) ). So anyway, that night I was determined to get 10000 steps registered. So I walked for an hour and a half around campus then had some random guy shake it the rest of the way to 10000 while I took a break. So, technically, I walked 10000 steps, but I had to shake it a lot too!!! And that is the rest of the story.
Facebook fever: Philippa, Phillip, me, Joel, Sarah, Chelsea...all on facebook. Join if you want.
Yeah facebook is big here at LETU. OK guys I have had one heck of a night and it is only halk over at 10:45. OK, I had my pedominator up to 30864 steps and then when I was changing it dropped and the stupid battery fell out!!!! So I go over to the Quad and show my brothers who of course think it's funny, i myself was not laughing. SO there was Reg, Tim, Ryan, Jonah, Phillip E. , and me on the couch sharing the stubid pedominator, each shaking it to get the steps back, all the while wathcing FAMILY GUY. Joel it was so funny!!! I recognized everything they were saying because of you and Riley. "Hefty hefty hefty"!!!! We laughed so hard and we;re going to get together and watch the season premiere on Sunday and then go to chapel because we all know that show is dirty. And now I am waiting for 11:00 pm to get here because we have to report o the lobby dressed in black for some iniation which no one knows is about. Seriously, I have no idea what they're going to make us do, but I'm excited!!! OK, I'm sick of typing and whoever is reading this is probably wondering when I shut up, so here I'm shutting up.
(In case no one can tell, O have twenty ounces of vault mountain dew in me right now)
Three Cheers for Family Guy! I am so watching the premier on Sunday, I'm actually going to call Riley to see if he wants to watch it with me. You guys would not believe the awesomeness that was going out on the river today! Jay and Ben and I went out with my godfather Tom in his boat. We rode the innertubes and so forth and it was all good and fun, we'd pull two at a time and the people on them would try to pull the other one off theirs. So one tube was a normal one donut shaped and all that, but the other had no hole and was much wider and sturdier. So Ben and I are going along and we're trying to pull eachother off and it's all fun, but then we went over the wake and we shoved eachother pretty hard and Ben, who was on the left, spun up into this flip like he was wiping out, but he spun/flipped onto mine. It sounds boring but it was so sudden and there's no way we could ever recreate it, it was like a movie or something, I was laughing so hard I almost fell off. But I didn't and nither did Ben, Jay pulled in the empty tube and we kept going on the same one. Like I said, it wsa something you really had to see, I'd give almost anything to have a video of it. And then Jay rode it by himself, I kid you not, on the turns he'd have the whole tube turned up vertically as he spun around, it was a ton of fun. I brought my camera but I took no pictres, it's a bummer, I'm sure all three of us on one tube was a sight to behold, I almost hyper extended my elbow, and I'm so sore, I'm going to sleep now.
i know him!! it's the freaky noah guy who always wears a kilt. (it's really bad when he wears it while playing the cello...)
