christmas was made to bring us comfort, even when we're sad and broken-hearted

last night's crush party was purely formulaic for ridiculousness, and of course things panned out in ways i did not expect. my night was totally made by hearing someone scream "ROGER!!" and even more so when i see, behind him, doug and alex vecchio. this was despite the fact that the skulls boys had their own party going on that night, which they were supposed to be running. so imagine my surprise.

most of our crushes showed up, mike ran the beirut table (thereby getting em stags soooo trashed), and anthony scored a date. despite the fact that no one scored (that i know of), we did end the night in customary fashion, watching moulin rouge, trying so hard to refrain from singing along so that alex woudn't call us "stupid assholes" (which is kind of like the pot calling the kettle black), and laughing so hard at the new guys who were absolutely out of their minds and their bodies. i definitely got my fair share of hilarious polaroids out of it.

last week of classes now. the weather seems to have chilled for good this time. going home to warm weather after all of this should be great, as will the retail therapy. at least half the house plans to come back with friends to throw a big new year's bash, and i would love to be here for that. hmm. we shall see.
