You know...he did sleep an awful lot in first year...good lord it all makes sense now!

50% success rate? sounds good to me?

yeah. my school does not allow fishies in dorms, so I had to leave my beta at home. I think he misses me. no, scratch that- I KNOW he misses me.

also, the fish was probably telepathically feeding off the soul of your friend who forgot to feed him. it is really the only scientifically plausible explanation I can think of.

WHAT. I want a goldfish! We were allowed fish in res, but we had to get them for ourselves. My roommate got one but he never fed it. But it still lived the whole year. It was weird and a little scary.

It sounds classier than it is. It didn't turn out very well. Overall we had two carving failures and two carving successes.

...which is ironic, because wouldn't a floury mess on the floor tend to be stress... INDUCING?

yeah, my school is not too big on the whole "group bonding" thing, usually. they do four, maybe five events per year but mostly let us do our own things. I was just pissed, because many schools do an event where they let you decorate your own fish bowl and then GIVE YOU A GOLDFISH. which is probably the most FUN, AMAZING thing imaginable.

also, marilyn monroe pumpkin? classy.

Bah. None of ours (ie my housemates) are conventional. Conventional stopped being interesting when I was like 12. So we have the sad one, a maralyn monroe one, a True Blood one and a cool LOVE one. Which probably makes NO sense to anyone except us, but we're taking pictures to maybe I'll post some in the scrapbook or something.

We didn't have pumpkin carving contests when I was in first year. Our team building exercises involved stuff like making stress balls out of balloons and flour that would break and make a mess all over our floor.

ah, well. captain hammer. sad and emo. same.... thing... kind of?
yeah, my pumpkin was for a dorm-wide pumpkin-carving contest (yay forced freshman bonding events!) unfortunately, all of the traditional "spooky face" pumpkins took top honors. the adorable one vomiting out its insides was not even recognized. pumpkin carving, I have become convinced, is totally biased in favor of those who stick to conventional methods. injustice!

Ah, college. I love it so much that I decided to come back for an extra semester past when I was supposed to graduate (which is in no way related to the fact that I failed to declare a major until the end of my second year, no sir).

My pumpkin was SUPPOSED to look like CAPTAIN HAMMER but I forgot that I can't do anything even relatively artistic so I made it all sad and emo instead.

expectedly splendid. just started college, so I'm busy, but otherwise good.
DUDE though. I carved a pumpkin last week. to look like a BIRD. it was TIGHT.

carving pumpkins! Mine failed hard. How've you been?

holy ♥♥♥♥ing ♥♥♥♥ it's nolan.
