Right. Basically, it was most of the funKtion guys and some of Dance2XS that came up to stay. They had a performance at Columbia and they decided to bless us with their presence. It was a crazy exciting weekend, to have so many friends about and to watch them dance. Very sad too because now its all empty.
Then again, back then you didn't have 20 people sleeping over, spilling into every nook and cranny, including the closet.
Over the past week or so, we had alot of Michigan people up here to visit. At our peak, we had nearly 20 people in the apartment and it was an insane sight. Reminded me alot of sophmore year in West Quad when we would cram in tons and tons of people.

I'm in the process right now of saving all the accumulated email from my college career onto my computer at home. In addition, my friend sent me some emails that we used to exchange, dating back to three or four years ago. It's striking to see how my "tone" has changed and also how utterly stupid I sounded at times. While it obviously doesn't sound like a whole other person, it definitely makes me cringe at the thought that, "This is me?!?" I look back over the thoughts and actions that have come since those emails and it occurs to me that most of the questions and desires i wanted then have been answered within the last two years. A positive thing no doubt. I encourage everyone to save their college emails, if only to trace the arc of their "maturation" process.

With a ringing endorsement like that maybe he'll make it a whole two weeks this time. You should really work on keeping a pet rock alive first.
Right......as I was saying. My puffer died. (He was a figure eight puffer) He had ick. I had no idea what ick was but apparently it's a parasitic fungus that fish get when they are stressed or the temperature changes alot. So my fish suffered from both of those. It's in a small tank (3 gallons) so that contributed to it. But let me tell you. Ick is sick. It starts off as little fuzzy things on his fins, and his body and his eyes. Then it gets really bad, like fuzzy algae everywhere. My poor puffer didn't make it because I got the medicine too late. But next time, I promise to do a better job.
Do you really have the time to getting into specifics now?
