Who told you the beached whale exploded?!

The Major General Music was out of character this weekend - that's right, another party that went late into the night at Brownstone 230, hosted by Ben.

It began quietly enough with just Ben, Autumn, Rob, and yours truly kicking things off with Napoleon Dynamite, as planned. Then it got exciting with the arrival of five more guests-Autumn's two roommates, the two Jennys, Corrie (whom I've never met but decided reminds me of Gabe from back at home), Chris, and Jessica. As things got more exciting or just weird, Autumn's head massage put Chris into a peaceful coma, who promptly flopped onto Rob's, where a series of strange-looking pictures followed with Chris burying his face in Rob's chest and under the sheep vest. To the outsider, this looks bizarre/terrifying, but if you know these two fellows, there's nothing to worry about. It's just a case of two crazy guys being themselves.

Somehow things moved along to everyone locking themselves in Ben's room while Chris marvels at the fact that I never attended a single dance associated with Ludington High School. Everyone was locked in except for Jenny no. 2 (the taller one), Chris, and myself. Chris proceeds to pick the lock with a paper clip which may have been borrowed from Ben's roommate. Chris then does something pretty ridiculous - straight up protein powder, no liquids involved. We'll just say it wasn't chocolate powder and it was nasty. Following this excitement, two rounds of Telephone Pictionary were played to the delight of all and then the Fruit Game. I lost to Ben in the final showdown of passionfruit (Ben) vs. watermelon (me), but I'd call that good for my first try. By then it was 2:30 and Ben kicked everyone out despite Rob's pleas for a round of Settlers of Catan. I've still yet to learn that game. Rob says that's sad.

Some memorable moments from Telephone Pictionary:

-B-sharp turns into a kid in a golf bag getting stabbed with something pointy
-Elton John sings to terrified woman
-Abraham Lincoln has a pig wearing a saddle pretty worried
-The heavy mayonnaise jar made Oliver feel very sad
-Susie, that flaming garbage is going to burn down the house

You really have to watch out for flaming refuse.
And what do you mean by staying out so late? Who was I supposed to talk to?

Talk to yourself, Angela. That's your solution for me for the WHOLE SUMMER-talking to myself. Surely you can talk to yourself for one night.
