last night's festivities

so.....Yesterday. yes, Yesterday. let's see.

dignal and i started the night out by heading to the mall in kokomo. we tried to play some excellent tunes, but her cd player wasn't so keen on the idea so we just surfed the radio waves. we went in target and were immediately faced with an excellent $1 selection of goods. i bought plenty. then i found some most excellent eurotrash shades, and bought those as well. then we headed into the actual mall. we hit up all the good places. at hot topic i got an "emo is awesome" cd for $6 (still need to listen to it), a napoleon dynamite post card and two buttons (skills, and vote for pedro). no good tshirts there. we also went to victoria's secret to paw through their cheap undies bins for long time. i found 5 good picks at 3 bucks a pop. we sniffed their smelly stuff and dignal fell in love with a man. well, a man's scent. now we just need to find the right man to put it on. she sprayed her coat sleeve with "very sexy for him" and a tester strip as well. we brought the strip home with us. it's her new boyfriend. (i myself prefer axe......by a bajillion million zillion and a half). and then while we were glancing through tons of old books that some old guy was selling in the halls of the mall, i hit the jackpot. i'd just been talking about how there's a matt arnold the poet to dignal, when i glanced at a shelf above my head (i was sitting on the floor), i saw it. "The Poetical Works of MATTHEW ARNOLD." i almost passed out. i knew it was destiny. then i found another volume, "Matthew Arnold's Poems." immediately bought them both. as well as some shakespeare. i'm psyched. its beauteous. so anyways. then off to the hippy store were i bought some scent for me that's somewhat close to my egyptian musk, and also put together an "incense burning starter kit" for meredith. poor kid has been stealing incense from people. doesn't even have a burner.

while in the hippy store we noticed the selection of tiny cute little nose studs for $3.99. i told dignal she may as well just buy one "just in case" since it was so cheap. i convinced her. she did. we went home.


after many broken cellular phone calls between me and jo the girl we decided that we were all going to meet at shephard house (dignal's house) at 8:00. we got there and dignal stuck some ice cubes up her nose. matt arnold and cromer showed up with surgical tools (a syringe, some latex gloves, cotton balls, a nostril sized stick, and a safety pin). they'd googled nose piercing earlier in the day, read up, and were now quite the experts. katie and angie showed up next. a massive disinfectant party commenced, people drew dots on their noses, and a lot of strategy was planned. the very brave katie went first. they pierced her nose with the syringe. it wasnt big enough, the stud wouldnt fit through. next came the safety pin. the stud still wouldnt go all the way through. there were a few repiercings, a lot of poking, and after some tears and about an hour and a half katie proudly displayed her new piercing. next was dignal. she kicked most of us out, so i just sat in the living room and listened with jon. i heard some commotion at one point. apparantly she'd passed out. gosh. i thought i heard her sneeze and gasp for breath in there, but i could be wrong. i was thinking of how horrid it would be to sneeze in the middle of the process. dignal's piercing went a bit faster, and pretty soon she too was finished. she was proud of proving her friendship and trust in the guys by letting them cause her bodily harm while sticking their fingers up her nose. "see cromer, we really are friends!"

it was an excellent night.

sometime this semester i think we're going to have a "permenant body damage night" and there might be some more piercings, probably some tattoos. so exciting.







BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!

after all the stabbing and pain, we needed some more fun. dignal, being...well, dignal, got bored and recreated the barnes house gingerbread style. she's had this massive thing sitting in her living room for over a month. she's sick of it. we voted, and...

the gingerbarnes house was set on fire in the front yard, a la burning chair incident. the flames, not big enough, were supplemented with furniture polish and hairspray. just as it was getting good and big, who drives by ? DR. BARNES.





just kidding. it was campus security. we freaked. he slowed down, checked out the sitch, decided to let this one go and kept on rolling. what the crap?!

so it must've been our lucky day. no deaths, and no arrests.

and the fire was okay, most of us freaking ran for water buckets, but matt arnold being smart and himself simply turned the thing upside down and stomped it out very quickly. we all came back to a smoking heap of barnes and were like "wha.......?"

an excellent night.
