Who on Earth decided to make strawberry-flavored cigars?
"We gotta hold on to what we got
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
We got each other and that's a lot for love
We'll give it a shot
We're half way there
Ohhh, livin' on a prayer...
Take my hand, we'll make it I swear..."

:-) That was playing at Sigma Chi last night. That was a fun excursion... we went dancing for probably about an hour, just enjoying the music and watching everyone. Bit of an anthropological adventure.

Frat guys are quite ridiculous. For all that fraternity members are usually supposed to be the most manly of all the manly-men on campus, they do rather a lot of hugging and grabbing each other. And dressing up in outfits that would probably be better on girls - for example, neon camo pants. One was even acting more girly than the girls he was with - when "Since U Been Gone" came on, he was pogoing up and down and mouthing the words, waaay more into it than anyone else on the floor.

Then, of course, there were the girls draping themselves all over their dance partners. Difficult to say which was worse, the clear-minded girls doing it deliberately or the ones who simply needed the support... At least the only guys who wanted to dance with us were quite polite, and vanished sometime around when we found Rugby Dan.

Amusing. And hey, at least this time there were more than 5 people on the dance floor - I don't know why Sig Chi is always throwing parties at the same time as Lambda but perhaps Lambda is the reason there were more people at Sig Chi last night. Lambda was ridiculously packed last time - imagine a can of sardines having sex. Ick. Keep in mind I hate seafood, too, so this metaphor is all the more strong and repulsive...

So, on with the productive weekend. Too bad I'm pouring all my current productivity into writing a story. But it's a good story, so oh well. Maybe at some point I'll get on with writing about how American should handle China. :-)

Sounds like you had a much better night than I did. :)

I can't wait for break! Less than a week (thank God).

Sigma Chi is one of the few frat houses I've been in on this campus, and it's a pretty classy place. They've got this great sound system that you can plug an iPod into and pipe the sound throughout the house. I was impressed.

hahaha. It sounds like O'Connell, except with smart people!

On a random note:
This college/high school facebook thing is quite exciting for me.
