Looking a little Festive...

So today is our Christmas Shindig and in honor of that, I, Sarah, wore a festive sweatshirt (it says "RAINDEER" big on the top with reindeer falling towards Santa with an umbrella) and a green & red bow (throwback to the elem days). I got lots of complements on how stellar and retro my bow looked and how fitting the sweater was (it rained today). Also, I picked up our christmas cards today and the sweet man at Walgreens said "Well aren't you looking festive today!"

Katie's sister Mary was over and said hello as I walked by Katie's room. As I walked away she immediately asked Katie, "Have you seen what Sarah's wearing today??"

Good to know people can appreciate a good Christmas ensemble.

Trip to Yellow River Game Ranch

OK, so we didn't really go to the game ranch, but we did watch a member of the house generate a yellow river in the living room. Uproarious laughter is a frequent visitor here, and it paid us a visit tonight. This Roommate knelt on the floor while trying to hold it in. No success. Gotta go to Krogs for some Pull-Ups.

NOTE: This was a different member from the other pee story. Apparently lack of bladder control is contagious... :)

Christmas is here!

So... WE GOT A TREE!!! We all love the holidays around here, especially Christmas, and this year we're going all out. We've got lights up outside and the tree is coming together quite nicely, as the lovely pic shows!

Oh Really?

I don't even remember what I was going to blog about but... ah yes my professor yesterday in class taught on the battle between good and evil, satan and God, that the Albigensium Crusade sought to win and made a reference to the battle between the Deceptecons and Autobots. Needless to say I was a little more focused for the rest of the class. Thank you prof for trying to make my time spent in a class about medieval europe connect to the real world. (of autobots and deceptecons- yes)

Oh Hey Charmin Bear!

Some of us were taking a mid-evening break in the basement when one roommate gets up to leave. On her way out, she stops at the support pole and rubs her butt against it. When we stare in shock she exclaims "Ugh my butt itches!" Other roommate cries out "Oh hey Charmin Bear!" [like the charmin commercial where the bear itches his butt to get the toilet paper off]. The wheeze came out fa sho.

part two de acidente

So today on the bus I was sitting down leaning forward to put on my backpack in the seat when the bus driver slammed on the brakes, where i proceeded to slam the top of my chest right below my collarbone on the handle that's on the top of some of the seats and then my knees got wedged behind the seat in front of me. awkward moment for a little until i could finagle out and get off the bus cause it was my stop. i keep forgetting why my chest is a little sore. when i remembered i had to blog about it. true story.

Acidente on el autobus

Yesterday I was on the Milledge bus when I heard this go down on the radio
student bus driver: "this is bus 249 to control... uhh there has been a little accident with a coca-cola truck."
control: "what happened"
student bus driver: "there was an altercation and there is a little damage to both the coca-cola truck and the bus"
control: "10-4 we'll send in a new bus"
student bus driver: "uhh actually there's a lot of damage to the bus- we're probably going to need to call the police..."

way to hold that little tidbit of information til the end dumb student bus driver... then i got off the bus and got to walk by the "altercation" on my way to class and the coke truck was parked mostly on the curb and the student bus driver just straight up side swiped the entire side of the coke truck and needless to say is missing a mirror, maybe a job now...

Across the pond...

Today I ran into a friend outside the SLC and we greeted each other in British accents [meanwhile one of her friends, whom I've never met, is standing to the side]. After a few minutes of chit-chat, we both went to class. I got a text a few seconds later saying "My friend wants to know what part of England you're from. Well done."

Made my week.

Are you a ninja....?

Today I wore a jean skirt, black t-shirt, black leggings, sparkly TOMS, a red vest and a red headband around my head [photo coming soon]. As I'm leaving class a girl (that I kinda ? know) asks me "So, are you supposed to be a ninja?" And because I'm so caught off guard I respond "Uhhh... no. I'm just trying out different costumes??" WHAT?!?!

And THEN, I get to the class I'm checking and one of the athletes asks me "So, is there, uh, any special reason you're dressed like that??" Me: "Uh. NO." Athlete: "Oh. Ok. Cool"

SCHWHAAT?!? Apparently I looked like a FOOL ninja. And I didn't even think this was one of the more outrageous outfits I've worn this semester... wait till they see the Noah's Ark vest...

Overheard at the 1490...

Roommate 1: I've been so productive today and I LOVE it!

Roommate 2: I haven't been productive today but I just pooted.

LOVELY

For all you faithful followers of the blog- I agree with Sarah this needs a little refresh and what better way to do it than with some great pics of what goes down here... so to again continue with Sarah's tradition here come some great pics :)


Jacque: I mysteriously cannot find your snuggie pics?

things have been a little slow around here...

so things have been a little slow over here at the 1490... too much school and not enough sundowners times.

however, i [sarah wheezy cornett] turned 21 last night and this picture pretty much sums up the evening. props to ashley waite for finding the straw glasses.

also, sarah and rebecca have gone to marketing all week! and sarah stayed awake the whole time. that's a big deal. (just for you mom!)

Heyllo Tri Delt..

Overhead in Tate2

The other day two of us were studying in Tate2. This gem of a conversation was overheard:

Girl 1: My mom was pretty uptight when I was a kid... kinda like I was last year.

Girl 2: Oh girl you're pretty free and loose this year though!

Girl 1: Yeah. I hope it isn't the birth control.

Study breaks...

Today, two of us were studying in Tate 2. The following discussion went down:

Roomie 1: I've only seen She's the Man once.

Roomie 2: WHAT?!?!!?

Roomie 1: Yeah I'm not a big Amanda Bynes fan.

Roomie 2: But it's SO FUNNY.

Roomie 1: Yeah I just enjoyed laughing when y'all found it so funny.

Roomie 2: Doing things with friends is makes things funnier.

Roomie 1: Doing things with friends is always fun. (said it a precious, sentimental voice.)

We laughed. We've also been studying too long.

Really?

Today my roommate said, "They really value intelligency." Welcome to the 1490

Rocks aren't metals, Dorkus!

Ohh the things you hear at wal-mart... so after a splendid Office wedding, we decided to make a Wal-Mart run. Sassy rebes got some $5 sweats earlier that week and so of course we all wanted some (funnily enough, only one of us came home with sweats). Needless to say, any 11pm wal-mart trip is guaranteed to be a little sketch and full of outrageousness. After debating about what color/size combos of sweats to get, we scattered to get some essentials (milk, toothpaste, paper towels, soap). Luckily, one savvy wal-mart shopper amongst the group found some beautiful fall flannel. So of course we all had to try 'em on. Katie wanted to wear her flannel out of the store. She did. (cashier had to pull off her UPC scanner business). Then, as we're leaving the store, we overhear one townie correcting another:

"Rocks aren't metals, Dorkus!"

thanks for that insight gentlemen.

M. L. I. Awk?

Today at the SLC I saw a guy kissing his gf with several quick pecks. While he was going in to kiss her for probably the 4th time we made eye contact just as they made lip contact. MLIAwkward

Today while I was getting ready for class I suddenly realized that I did my homework completely wrong last night. I quickly fixed it and re-printed it before running out the door to catch the bus. When I got to class I realized that my homework was still sitting on the printer. MLIA

Congrats Seth and Summer!

Soo apparently we watch a lot of TV over here at the 1490 buuut... we were watching The O.C. and in this particular episode, the lovely Seth (what's up Adam Brody) and Summer are engaged. When the [deranged] Che (oo yeah throwback to Everwood!) hears about their upcoming nuptials replies "Amazing. I'll weave you something asap." Thank you new-tag-line! The O.C. always brings good things to my day.

Dang Milledge Bus

Today at 5 Points I had to run for the approaching bus all the way to Tri-Delt and then the bus proceeded to pull away when I was 50 feet from the stop. Bus 1 Me 0. MLIA

Today there were signs up all over campus promoting breast cancer awareness. Maybe it's just me but the signs that prompted me to "feel my breasts" made me "feel uncomfortable." MLIA

eHarmony... ew

So two of us are sitting around watching Raising Helen (yeah John Corbett) when an eHarmony commercial comes on. We both expressed the fact that have on occasion harbored the secret fear of having to resort to an online dating service. Upon further discussion, we have made a pact to live the single live forever before even browsing eHarmony/equallyyoked/match.com. They are so not for us. We are better than internet desperation. eHarmony will have no part in our "how we met" stories!!

Today my roommate peed on the floor & after making it to the bathroom, found there was no toilet paper. Roommate 2 yelled, "It's your turn to buy." -- MLIA

- If you want to overhear conversations put your ear to the vent or just stand in Emily's bathroom.

- If you want to hear an English accent at an octave only a dog can hear, come to the 1490.

-If you want to live your college life vicariously through another person, Keri Russell is always on the tube for your own viewing enjoyment

-If you always crave Chick-Fil-A on Sundays, well we always have a full stocking of Chick-Fil-A sauce and trust me you can dip, marinate, or douce anything in Chick-Fil-A sauce.

-If you like to shower where the water runs brown-- that's right, that's right--come get clean...or dirty.

-If you want to get Nikko'd...aka visited by a large man at odd hours of the night... come be our roomie.

-If you want enough sass for a lifetime just talk to the divas (Brad Terrell).

Shenanigans

Welcome to our blog spot!  That is right the shenanigans of the 1490.  From peeing on the floor to dancing on the front porch it all goes down on the Mill.
