Welcome to Room 202

This place is meant for memories of silly-ness past. Mainly meant for 4 individual persons "L","M","N" and "A" but if you are a Stranger here then you're of course welcome to wander about. Don't touch anything though, this place is perfectly organized. If you happened to stumble onto this blog, WELCOME! Welcome to the strange corners of our minds and the awkward conversations we have with each other, The Select Few.

30 Days

It has been 1 month since that fated day when we went our separate ways. How are you doing? I just want to say that I miss you all and I cannot wait to see you again when we finally have the time. I hope this past month has been good to you, it has been pretty good to me. Merry May and I shall see you soon my wives-to-be.

Murder

We had to kill B. Our fish was murdered and we are to blame. We confess. But before you go all "how inhumane!" "what a bunch of douchbags!!" Let me explain. B is a fancy goldfish. That's the goldfish that has bubble cheeks. B's air bladder (the thing that helps him go up and down in the water) broke and so he was stuck up at the top of the tank, upside down for quite a while. His cheeks were pushed together and so the only thing he could see was himself. Because his stomach was exposed he began to bloat and eventually became very deformed. We tried everything. We fed him peas, hoping that they would help his bladder. But alas, nothing worked and eventually he stopped eating entirely. We did some research. Clove oil works as a method of euthanasia for fish. Clove oil! There was a way to humanely murder him (as opposed to simply flushing him). Do you know how hard it is to find clove oil? HARD. It was no where. We needed to kill him quickly because we are running out of time together and he is just looking more and more miserable. A miracle. We found some clove oil in the most bizarre place. We put a few drops in his tank and waited. The experts said it would take 10 minutes to slowly take effect. We knew B would take longer because he is a mutant. 30 minutes later we watched him take his last breath. We gave him an hour and then we sent him off to the big blue ocean in the sky. We decided to give him a viking funeral. We put him the toilet, lit a few matches and said a few words. We flushed twice and he was gone. B was a fish, yes. But he was also the centre of the house and a constant table companion. We shall miss him very much but we know he is in a better place.

The Final Countdown

It's March 18th today. That means exactly 1 month until April 18th. On April 18th we move out of 202 for the last time. In one month I have to say goodbye to my adopted family. In one month I can no longer run to someone's room and tell them something. In one month I will cry so much I won't be able to see for a week. We don't like to talk about this issue. Why would we? Its the end of an era. I'm going to miss these girls so much I don't know how I will cope. These next 31 days are going to be VERY bittersweet. I love you guys.

Study Week: Pros and Cons

PROS: homecooked meals that you didn't have to struggle with yourself. a break from the constant school atmosphere. no added unnecessary noise coming from inconsiderate neighbours above and below you. no fighting over internet time with the hundreds of other students doing the exact same things as you. family time that you missed whilst you were away free laundry dogs and cats that you didn't have at school CONS: no roommates to share funny stories with no roommates to vent and complain to no roommates to understand your anti social ways and not judge you for them no roommates to make come with you to the mall or a restaurant no roommates to creep on no roommates to laugh with until 3 in morning for no reason at all no roommates to play video games with no roommates.

Happy Birthday!!

Today is N's birthday. She accidentally planned her own surprised party by inviting all her friends over for drinks but forgetting it was her birthday. SURPRISE! Last night L, A and M decorated the apartment like stealthy ninjas (N heard everything). There are streamers and balloons and a banner. Its beautiful. If you ignore the fact that it looks like it was decorated by hyper 6 years olds instead of 21 and 22 year olds then it pretty much the best thing ever. Happy Birthday N! We love you so much!

[room202-stuff]

Pictures

L, M and A have to get their grad photos done because it is their last year. N is of course getting dragged along for a "family photo". They are not impressed. Pictures are evil and they don't like to "smile pretty". The photographer should submit these images to National Geographic with the caption: RARE SPECIES FINALLY DOCUMENTED. THE EXOTIC BEASTS OF 202 HAVE BEEN SPOTTED AND SNAPPED. He'd get, like, a million dollars per photo. Did you know the camera can steal a piece of your soul? Yeah. It happens. And the more it happens the more you take dumb pictures of yourself. Its a never ending cycle. *sigh* Well, off to the mirror to make ourselves look presentable. Pajamas are allowed, yes?

[room202-stuff]

Birthdays

L M and A all have birthdays in the summertime (May-August) and therefore are lame because they cannot have birthday parties.

We tried this once and it all fell apart because M had to work (jerk).

THEREFORE, N has baked 30 chocolate cupcakes with chocolate icing.

She did this last Thursday when the others were all in class. Unfortunately, everyone came home early and caught her in the act. She was blowing up balloons and hanging streamers and baking. Whoops. ON THE PLUS SIDE WE GOT CUPCAKES. And enough chocolate icing to last a life time. 

<3 Happy Birthday 3/4 of Room 202

[room202-stuff]

A: A Summery

A is like a small child, in the very best way possible.

She never eats vegetables and her meals usually consist of bread, rice or potatoes. Doctors are stumped as to how she is still breathing.

She's allergic to everything. And she's constantly sick with some contagious disease and is quarantined in her room. Not that she stays there. She wonders out and reeks havoc.

She loves video games and Disney movies (who doesn't?).

She accepts any challenge and makes the challenger RUE the day they every challenged her. She wins 98.35% of the time. 

She is the keeper of our resident fish B. They are very much alike. Neither of them eat red things and they both like to swim upside down, although in A's case is more of a metaphor. 

A is a very interesting person. A Select One who is always telling a story.

[room202-stuff]

M: A Summary

M likes to laugh. You know that scene in Mary Poppins when they are all floating around on the ceiling? That's M.

She has a contagious laugh, and once she starts she's like a snowball, until she's laughing like an old man. WHEEZE COUGHCOUGH.

She bursts into song unannounced. All the time. Everything and anything can trigger it. Its like living in a musical. She also enjoys singing off-key, on purpose...loudly. 

She is a master procrastinator and a brilliant convincer. She is the bad influence behind every horrible decision we make. Whether it be video games, movies or going out somewhere she knows exactly the right buttons to push and DOES SHE EVER PUSH THEM. 

Disney quotes is her second language. Say one simple thing and the next thing you know she's reciting the entire scene from which ever movie it matches. 

M is an interesting person. She's a Select One that's basically an entertainment unit all on her own.

[room202-stuff]

L: A Summary

L is our resident badass, which isn’t all that hard to do seeing as we are a bunch of 5 year old pansies. 

She’s also a ninja. Sneaking her way out of social situations like she was never even there. 

She’s currently in denial about her gaming habits… she’s getting worse…or better, depending on how you look at it. 

She’s also our resident hermit, which is hard to do because we all hermits. She’s the hermit within the hermits. Queen Hermit. We don’t mind, sometimes you just need some time to yourself and she’s always willing to talk to you if you’re in the mood to babble. 

Her reason for isolation: studying.

But, we all know the truth. Youtube. 

L is an interesting person. When she starts talking, she talks about very interesting things. She's a Select One with very interesting stories. 

[room202-stuff]

N: A Summary

N is the kind of person where if you tell her she can't do something she will do everything in her power to prove you wrong. 

"No N, you shouldn't read that book, you'll cry". 36 hours later its finished and she's sad.

"No N, it isn't physically possible to have a cook-off with yourself". The next day you'll wake up to 3 different batches of cookies, brownies, a pie and a 4 layer cake. Plus some home made truffles and chocolate dipped strawberries. Then she'll demand that you eat it all. Right now. "Dig in".

But, N is also the kind of person where if you accidentally show her the Cirque du Soleil movie she'll attempt to master the art of gymnastics in 3 days and then will get mad when she isn't as good as the gymnasts that have been practicing for years...

N is a very interesting person. She's a Select One that always keeps you on your toes.

WE HAVE RETURNED!

Room 202 is reunited at last! This is our final semester together (ever) so its going to be bittersweet. Here's to another 4 months of craziness with the Select Few who are worth more. 

[room202-stuff]

One is the loneliest

N has gone and just M is left. An empty house, an empty mind...

  Merry Christmas! Have a wonderful break! <3

[room202-stuff]

And then there were 2

A has abandoned the roost as well. 

And she took B with her. 2 for the price of one!

Merry Christmas A, Happy New Year! <3 

[room202-stuff]

"Today is the day that B learns to fly"

You know you've had enough school when you're trying to film your goldfish swimming in the fish background on a mac. A has had enough school, I think.

She then films this goldfish "flying" in the cloud one. 

Now would be a good time to mention that we have a fish. He's fancy and he has a lot of gold. He's a fancy goldfish. His name is "B".

How to be Boring: A Guide by N

N: I wanna turn myself orange.

Everyone else: What-excuse me-pardon?

N: When we come back from Christmas break I'm just going to buy carrots and cheese puffs and I'm going to turn myself orange.

L: I'm pretty sure you would just die.

N: No, I'll be smart about it

-Everyone is very worried-

Much Later in the Evening

L: Did you tell them yet?

N: Tell them what?

L: About your master plan.

N: OH! It wasn't really a plan, its more so an idea.

-M and A look nervously at each other-

N: I'm going to grow a moustache and beard :D

M: ...Wut? How? Why?

N: Because I suit a moustache.

A: You do?

N: Yeah, it would look really cool.

A: How, exactly, are you going to accomplish this? Testosterone pills?

N: No, just like natural ways.

Everyone else: Please don't grow a moustache.

M: Why do you even feel the need to grow a moustache?

N: Because I'm boring.

N then proceeds to bend herself into a pretzel then wall up the wall into a hand stand 6 times.

...She's obviously the most boring person in the world.

[room202-stuff]

L has left us today.

She has left us and has gone home. 

HAVE A GREAT CHRISTMAS!! <3
