So, all week Virginia and I have been plotting and scheming of different ways to cheer Laura up. I heard her mention that she wanted to see Twilight again, so being the attentive and obliging friend that I am, I thought "sure, we'll go take her to see the movie!" But there's no fun in just taking someone to the movie...so we thought we'd kidnap her and take her by force.
So last night Laura had to play the handbells for the chapel service. The movie didn't start until 9:30 and the chapel service started at 7 so there was some time in between. We stayed for the service, then we went around caroling and hanging the wreaths around campus (thus Hanging of the Greens). We ended up at the President's House, and stayed for some hot chocolate and cookies. It was pretty funny, because once we got there we were panicking a little bit because it was getting close to the time when we needed to be leaving. I made up some story about how I needed to call Mom but I could only call her from my phone in my room...I don't really remember what I said, to be honest. So we forced Laura out of the house while Virginia and I are tapping our feet and pacing because she's moving so slow (she really wasn't, but we were impatient). Then, Laura goes to P.E.O. to get Jenn (she's another girl that went with us to see the movie) while Virginia and I run up to Laura's suite and hide in the bathroom. We can hear when Laura and Jenn get in, and Jenn blindfolded Laura with a scarf. So, we walk her down two flights of stairs (blind, mind you) and out to my car (and being the idiots that we are, we forgot to grab Laura's coat). All the while, Laura is kind of panicking. It was actually pretty funny to be quite honest. We drive her to the movie theatre, but I was driving in a way that hopefully I got her confused as to where we were going (she wasn't confused...she pretty much knew right away I think. Which meant I drove like a drunk person for nothing). I ran inside to the theatre, bought the tickets and was like "Four tickets for Twilight. Yes, I'm bringing in a person blindfolded, but it's okay, she knows us!!"...most of the people in the lobby got a kick out of that.
So we lead her into the theatre and watch Twilight. Fun for all! Oh, and before we kidnapped her, we left little post it notes on her closet door that said "we just thought we missed your smile, so we did this for you" and other stickies that said stuff like "you're amazing" and "always remember to smile!"...at first we thought "hey, we'll do something nice for her, make her happy then kidnap her!" but that didn't work. She didn't even SEE the post-its until afterwards, and even then Virginia and I had to practically build a glowing, flashing sign around the door that said "READ THIS." I suddenly had a flashback to the time when Mom walked into the house and didn't see the Christmas tree...yeah, it was a little bit of that.
Anyways, that was my eventful evening. Today is Hanging of the Greens dinner, so I'll be busy with that probably. Um, Sunday...nothing is going on (finally!) but I'll probably work on some homework or something. I have three essays for Am. Lit. due on the 15th, an observation for World Rel. due the 12th, and then four finals (one of them is this coming Thursday, and the rest are on the 16th). Soooo I should probably study for those and work on the essays. Although, as I type this, I know very well that I probably won't. But whatever...maybe I will.
Anywhosits...OH! Just a little side note: I changed my music player and I put the whole Twilight Soundtrack on there, except for two of the bonus songs. They're just "La Traviata" and "Clair de Lune" and I didn't think anyone would listen to those songs (although, I do but I'm weird like that). So yeah...for those of you who don't have the soundtrack, enjoy!
