falling...
... in love.
In September we, the 4 roommates, took a trip with our buds Alex and Tara to the Pacific Northwest to visit and nurture the blossoming friendships with this region's finest.

sex and aggression
VIP a.k.a vasoactive intestinal peptide
How ironic in these rational times
to be labeled intestinal
when one has a part to play
that's so much more subliminal
what loftier, elevated goal
than to keep the brain more temperate
and what more worthier goal
than to help true lovers consummate.
-excerpt from a poem by Dr. John A Bevan who ponders the multiple roles of VIP within the gut and brain.

difficulties
In all honesty, i was unsure about how this whole "blogging" thing would work out, however my roommates/sisters were (forcefully, may I add) persuading me to write a "blog" (because as always, i'm the last to do everything) so we could complete one round of Spring Break 06's blog posts. however, it took me at least 10 minutes to figure out how to create this "blog." after anxiously scrolling up and down the webpage and hopelessly clicking every icon that appeared, I finally realized what the problem was: I wasn't signed in. failure. FML. failllllloooo... just kidding :). However, now that I have successfully arrived to my destination, I will say what I initially wanted to say: love. Love is a battlefield and love is the way that will make this world a better place, love is the way it's the only way. How can love be both things, a problem and a solution? Could it be through the power of love's transciency that it can be whatever it pleases? I'm not sure, but if you find out, let me know. Until then, I will ponder.
Love,

distractions
today, lily and I came to a realization. HAHAHAH, sorry i just got distracted by the crazy girl talking to herself outside my window. she's actually talking to someone on a bluetooth, but I THOUGHT she was talking to herself and she was yelling something about nothing. anyways, i get so distracted, so easily...I wonder how I've been able to study and maintain decent grades all this year....hmmmm, something to ponder. anyways, back to the real or not so real topic for the day.
lily and I just had DL or Discussion/Lab or the worst 2.5 hours of my life every week. I detest it...Physics DL is the worst. Not only do I not understand anything that happens, but I get so frustrated and annoyed because my TA usually knows NOTHING and never helps us understand. AND my peers are usually boring, weird or they don't care about anything, let alone physics. BUT this quarter, in Physics 7C I had the BEST class with the BEST TA! He was really funny and was super cool about answering questions and making sure we understood all the material. ALSO, lily was in my class so we were RIDICULOUS and it was a lot of fun. Today was our last day of DL EVER. we are done with physics...unless we fail....which won't happen....I hope. anyways, it wont happen! DONT JINX US! so, I should be relieved and excited and all that....but I'm kind of sad. I liked having this class with random people that slowly became my friends, I liked sitting next to lily and calling her a bix in front of the whole class, I liked sucking up to my TA so he would give me a high pass....JUST KIDDING RYAN (if you're reading this....which you're probably not.) ANYWAYSSSSSSS, against all odds, I enjoyed physics and I'm sincerely going to miss spending that 2.5 hours twice a week with those people. I small chapter in my life is closing, (yea physics was such a pain it got its own chapter in my life) and lots of new doors are opening.
this is getting long and my ASIAN, not dutch (JK) roommate is getting antsy.
ps I don't want to study.
pps imani clinic is AMAZING ROZ...what are you saying about my clinic....I hear you talking!
love you all.

Scream
One of the many sounds that can be heard from this apartment is a high-pitched shrill scream (there are four different versions). As Ariana already mentioned, this even caused the police to come knocking on our door one day. Anyways, the moral of the story is that Lily is excellent at scaring us. She knows the right times to come and quietly sneak up on us. She even knows what to whisper in our ears when shes unexpectedly right next to us. It's very scary, but that girl has got some mad skills. However, I have had the great opportunity of being able to scare the one who scares us TWO times!!! She has taught me well and I can't quite recall how I scared her the first time, unfortunately I have the memory of a 342 year old. Maybe i'll remember one day and let the world know, but for now i g2g to class. okay love you!
xoxo gossip girl (jk def dont watch that show)

Dearest Roommates and Sisters (because I truly feel that you are my sisters),
I would like to start out by saying that I REALLY LIKE ALL OF YOU GUYS! and let me throw out a special thanks to lillian for making me look like a jerk and half. MY EYES DID NOT GLISTEN....I swear, okay? ANYWAYS, so...I've lived with you three girls for almost a year and a half now. I've really gotten to know all of you...like ALL OF YOU, like roz's early morning "traditions" ;) and amelia's tendency to be a vampire during midterms and of course....lillian. My beloved roommate. How I love you. :) ps I want to punch you through the wall right now. JUST KIDDING I LOVE YOU. no really though, you guys have been there for me for the last year or so. Crying with me, laughing until you cried with me, dancing with me, yelling and screaming with me, screaming when the cops showed up at our front door, eating 29384209483 pounds of ice cream, etc. etc. lets not get too mushy. SO, I just wanted to say, I really love you guys and I'm so happy to have you in my life. You will always be my sisters and I love you.

roommate
one time, i missed Ariana because she was away from me for multiple days. so, i posted this on her wall in a platonic way:
the start
"i wanna have a blog," lamented Ariana, her eyes glistening with tears, her lip quivering. and PRESTO!
i make her dreams come true. its what i do. i guess she can just owe me one.
