2012.11.22 - hide and seek

Happy Thanksgiving, kiddies! I thought I would just share a quick story that I posted on my recently made, personal tumblr. I have had a fashion tumblr for quite a while, but just decided to make a personal one as well. You can find it hereee if you would like to check out my adventures in shorter, probably more frequent, updates. 

On Tuesday, my lovely friend, Emily, and I went out on a grab-a-date together and I summarized the night on my tumblr. I use quite a different writing style there, as you will see. I hope you enjoy getting a sneak peek into my night life. It gets crazy up here.


"2012.11.20
my Tuesday with Emily, one of the loves of my life:
both get asked to the same grab-a-date at SAE. not interested in the guys…nbd, free booze and bowling. get to the house…only lokos. wtf? Emily and I down a couple after finding half a bottle of fireball to split. talk to Nick and distract him from his essay for a while. feeling good and off to bowling.
car ride includes touchiness. pretty sure my crotch was touched…everyone thinks we’re lesbians anyway. bowling is pretty fun; took a chunk out of my thumb with my nail somehow, bled on my sweater dress..oh well.
back at the house, more lokos and some cookies. we’re getting real bored of our dates and leave for the bathroom. run out the doors and head to the frat across the street. it’s a grab-a-date, but we just walk in and follow some bitches around…no drinks, no cute guys. wander through their house for a while, lost. do some pull-ups on a door frame, get crept on by a weird asian with weird earrings. super ghetto, we’re out. talk to a couple wasu juniors at the door when we try to leave. run to high five them and both trip over the same parking block…
our dates have been looking for us.
“where did you guys go?”
“hide and seek mutha fuckaaa”
“are you at least in the house still?”
“of course…come find us.”
fuck, locked out of the house. knock on the front door, run back inside, soaked from the rain, run into our dates. 
“you went to sigma xi, didn’t you?” “what. no.” 
later, sobering up…this sucks. let’s go home. want to go without my date following us back, he comes with, we insist we want to go by ourselves, he still comes with. 
“uhhh my friends need me to walk them back from zbt…” “it’s cool i’ll come with” “nahh man, you stay.” “nope, coming with”
Emily and I run like mad to zbt with him following, wtf. Timmy, my favorite person, opens the door and lets us in, tells of my date and we chill, escaped from the creeper. 
too much excitement, Timmy is the best, eventually back in Emily’s dorm…slumber party! talk for hours, I love this bitch. 
I’m thankful for the many wonderful people in my life and the adventures we go through together; here’s to many, many more!
<3"

I hope you all had a wonderful turkey day and check back soon for more of my adventures!

2012.11.18 - long time no see

All settled in at the University of Washington and finally updating. It has been crazier than I expected and I have definitely been experiencing a roller coaster; good weeks and bad ones. Thankfully my experience has mostly been a positive one. Got thrown out in the rain for a couple hours today due to a fire alarm going off, but that was a rare exception. 





Here are a few shots that were taken from my balcony. Unfortunately, it is now locked due to a few rotten eggs throwing a bunch of crap off of theirs, but I believe they will be opened again for winter quarter. 

Classes have been going fairly well, but I am more than excited for winter break and the start of new classes. I feel that I have gotten the hang of being able to control my own schedule pretty well. I absolutely have a few things to work on still; I would love to get to the gym more often and I shouldn't procrastinate quite as much, but I'm surviving so far. I've made a bunch of awesome new friends and have learned a reasonable amount in class. I can safely say that I have learned more outside of the classroom, however. 

I will try to post more frequently. I stopped for a while when I couldn't get internet in my dorm, then I kept putting it off. I do love blogging though and will continue to document my time here at the University. I will also be trying to update my other blog, http://lilyinlace.blogspot.com/. Be sure to check it out if you haven't already!

Thank you all for sticking with me and checking out my page; come back soon to see more! c:
