HORROR EPISODE.

Late one Tuesday night-- Whitney, Jenna, and Bailey were in the kitchen at the counter having a great conversation about how boys are stupid and should walk girls home if it is dark. Then suddenly, Bailey had a great idea. Oh look! There's Courtney's laptop sitting on the counter with the "photo booth" application ready to use. (it doesn't sound sketchy now...but just wait.) Bailey knew that it would be fun to take a picture of herself since she looked like a fluffy puff marshmallow. So she got on to Court's computer and took a picture of herself. and THIS is what came up as the picture taken:


Okay...YEAH. That's right. IT TOOK A PICTURE OF COURTNEY, IN THE DAYTIME, IN OUR ROOM!! (now fyi courtney was not even present in eccesc104 at this time.) Ummm can you say HORROR STORY?! I thought I was going to have nightmares. I quickly asked Jenna and Whitto if I looked like Courtney (p.s. Court you don't look like a fluffy puff marshmallow). They said no. Okay. Scary. If you don't believe this story WHITTO AND JENNA are eyewitnesses to this extremely creepy event.

Our life is a sitcom. Welcome to it.

sway...double or nothin'.

And here we go.

Today just started out as a normal Friday. Jenna played soccer, Bailey took a nap. (Well tried anyways...) Whitney and Becca went to WalMart. The thorn of this episode--Ashley and Courtney have wandered out of our midst. They went home for the weekend. (single tear.) Then Jenna put on her little children cowboy DI vest and headed to the Fall Fiesta to set up. (after all she is the busy one.) The first half hour of her experience was spent stirring twenty eight pounds of REFRIED BEANS. yum yum. She says she will "never eat them again in her life" (complete with the nacho libre accent). Then to her excitement came (the life of the party) Nia, Gish (friends from EcclesC103 and Juni) and Bailey. Now, this may still seem like a very typical Friday night...until the band started playing.

And I quote: "The band 'Double or Nothing' came in with a roar...the crowd was screaming, they wanted more!" (-Jenna DeGering @ 3:01 AM) Okay so here's the deal. (that was a deliberate tribute to Courtney)  so the guitarist/vocalist's name was Nick and Nia and Gish immediately fell in love with him. And of course the four of us end up front and center at this great concert. As Jenna and Bailey look around they notice the hilarious situation that is unfolding before their eyes. They are surrounded by girls (and a few guys...) who are off beat clapping, wide-eyed, mouth opened, singing along to songs they don't know, sitting Indian style on the grass of a stake center, loving every minute of DOUBLE OR NOTHING! (Gish and Nia were definitely a part of this.) All we could do was laugh out loud and say to each other, "OUR LIFE IS A SITCOM!" Eventually the whole band showed up... Derek (the bass player and pianist) and Matt (the violinist). Gish bought their five dollar C.D. (6 songs). So basically we became their biggest fans.

After the institute party was long over, Jenna, (still at the stake center with her kiddie cowboy vest on) invites the band to Brittney's party. Now here's where it gets crazy. They show up to Brittney's where we play games with balloons and make up songs and stories while keeping a balloon in the air. Eventually the cops kick us out we end up up the mountain with a half put out bonfire and a mysterious giant concrete slide, where at the top we play roses and thorns with the whole band and a bunch of  other random people. Then we finish the night off with swaying in a circle, talking, and singing for a good 40 minutes straight. Thats when we decided that we really wanted to be their friends. (well it was actually before that...but oh well...) 


Okay. So if you didn't believe that our life was a sitcom before this seemingly "normal" friday, then ALL THAT WAS CHANGED TONIGHT. What normal person hangs out with the BAND they just heard play (at an institute social of all places)?! Answer me that!


Our life IS a sitcom. (Jenna will have to add more details tomorrow but it is currently 3:30 AM and I want to go to sleep.)


over and out.

season premire

A day in the life of Eccles C104 is quite eventful. In fact, I'd like to say that it could be a sitcom.


THE ROLES:
  • Ashley-- the smart one.
  • Courtney--the popular one.
  • Whitney--the boy crazy one.
  • Becca--the nice one.
  • Jenna--the busy one.
  • Bailey--the dumb blonde.
  • Hillary--the friend. 
(these roles are subject to change...because I'm not that creative)

Episode 1: "Wrong Water Bottle"
Now, the whole idea of our life being a sitcom began with this "episode."
Bailey is sitting in Choir class when she feels in need of a beverage. Well, it's a good thing she brought her trusty Aquafina bottle. She reaches down next to her chair picks up the water bottle and takes a long swig. Come to find out...it's not her water bottle. It's her neighbors! Ohhh NO.
The next day is Bailey's birthday where she is awakened by the busy one and the friend in the wee hours of the morning and receives presents of water and headbands. Highlights of the episode include:
-Bailey giving Whitto a present of an outline of her "little wee ones" aka her hand.
-Courtney and Becca both make their sorority's Executive Council
-Birthday Cake is eaten. Served by the lovely Ashley who learns the all about using the correct serving spatula.

Oh yes. This is getting good. Stay tuned for Episode 2 "Hot Tubbing and Cleaning House."

I am convinced this will actually get filmed one day.
That's right. Our life is a sitcom.
