Answer key & explanations

1.What new dance did Kasey learn recently?
a) the chicken dance
b) Wobble
c) Grind with me

I know what you're thinking...

?!?!?!?!

Did I read your mind or what?  Have you ever heard that song Grind With Me by Pretty Ricky?  It's really old (and by really old, I mean early 2000s), but it resurfaced with the invention of Vine.  And, thanks to Vine, there has been an outbreak in dance fads.  So, naturally, I had to get in on the action.

Basically, this dance is a glorified worm.  What happens is you go into a hand-stand of sorts and then lower yourself down like a body roll, chest first, then stomach, then legs.  Talk about upper body strength that I don't have.  But I was determined.  So Jess and I were thinking-about-contemplating-doing-it when a couple girls from our floor walked in.  We tried to explain what we were doing, and the one girl mastered it instantly.  But she's a gymnast, so I personally don't think that counts.  But whatever.  Now that we knew it was physically possible for girls to do it (since it had been mostly a guy dance fad), we were all the more determined.  So we decided what we really needed was a bed so we didn't smash our faces into the ground if the hand-stand aspect went haywire.  So we did what any logical college students would do: we pulled my mattress off my lofted bed and onto the floor.  And it was as if magic fairy dust from the dance gods rained down upon us because by golly, we were actually able to do it now.

And we instantly regretted it, because the next day, our arms were so sore that we couldn't lift them 5 inches.  It was rough.

2. What did Kasey throw off a parking garage twice in the last couple weeks?
a) pumpkins
b) TVs
c) water balloons

Yes.  This is what we have resorted to for entertainment in college.  If it's wrong, I don't want to be right.

So right after Halloween was over, Jess and I were like, what should we do with these pumpkins that are currently molding in our room from when Jess and Michael carved them?  Naturally, we decided to throw them off the parking garage.  We literally went to the top of a parking garage and tossed them onto the concrete and watched them splatter everywhere.  It was awesome.

Some girls from my floor and I did it again tonight.  Because what else were we going to do on a Friday night?  Besides, that pumpkin sitting at the end of our hallway was looking a little out of place and like it wanted to practice flying tonight.

3. What is "Scared Hitless"?
a) a TV show that Kasey has really gotten into recently
b) a self-defense class Kasey took
c) Kasey's intramural volleyball team

Har har har, isn't it clever?  But yeah, Scared Hitless was our team. It's just a bunch of girls, many I know from classes, who played volleyball in high school and who wanted to make an intramural "dream team."  But unfortunately we were far from a dream team, and although we won all of our games until last night, we weren't the best team out there.  Had we won our 11:15 pm (pm?! way past my bedtime!) last night, we would have gone on to the championships, but alas, it was not meant to be.  It makes me miss volleyball though, and we all agreed we'd still play some pick-up games for funsies.



4. How did Kasey celebrate Jess's birthday?
a) Jumping into Jess's bed at midnight
b) Surprising her with a bunch of friends at dinner
c) All of the above

In case you didn't know, I love my roomie so so much and I wanted to do something special for her since it was her birthday last week!  Yeah, I know a) sounds creepy, but let me explain myself:  so last year on Jess's birthday, her roomie last year, Alyssa, and I jumped on Jess's bed at midnight to yell happy birthday to her.  It was really funny, and I thought it'd be hilarious to continue the tradition that was a grand total of 1 year in the making.  So I texted Alyssa (who lives in her sorority house) and asked if she wanted to do it with me.  She was totally in.  So around 10, Jess asked me if I wanted to stay up with her for her birthday.  Crap, I thought to myself.  Plan foiled.  I told Jess that I was really tired so I didn't think so.  I just really wanted to surprise her with Alyssa!  So she was pretty mad at me because I usually stay up that late anyways, and because after I told her no I went to Skype Christian.  She went to bed mad at me, but I knew it would be worth it.  So Alyssa came over a little before midnight and we snuck up her desk (which she didn't hear somehow) and yelled HAPPY BIRTHDAY and jumped into her bed.  She freaked.  She was shaking for like a minute straight and huddled into a ball and refused to talk to us.  When she finally came around, we were all dying laughing and then just hung out in her bed (a twin, lofted bed mind you) for an hour, talking and catching up.  It was really fun, and Jess is no longer mad at me, in case you were wondering.

As for b), Jess and I had planned to get dinner together Saturday to celebrate because Michael (her boyfriend) got her for Friday night.  So she thought it was just going to be me and her, but I had texted a bunch of our other friends to come too.  I told Jess I'd meet her at dinner because I had to grab something from a friend that lived in a different hall, so when Jess met me, it was actually a bunch of girls!  She had kind of suspected me before, but it was still fun, and we had a lot of laughs at dinner.  We hung out and watched a movie later too, so it was just a really fun weekend overall.

5. What was Kasey for Halloween?
a) a cat
b) a cat
c) no really, she was a cat

Surprise, surprise.  Laura, Breanna, and I went to Fairway to dance for Halloween.  It was a good time :)




6. What does quasted mean?
a) who knows?
b) who cares?
c) getting wasted off queso

Dana and I have made a tradition of going to Hillenbrand for Friday night dinners because they always have nacho bar, and what are nachos without queso?  So she and I came up with an entire vocabulary related to getting drunk off queso because we love it so much.  There's quasted, quzzed, qupsy, and quit-faced.  It's pretty classy.  But also hilarious.


7. What songs did Kasey sing for karaoke recently?
a) 22 by Taylor Swift
b) Thrift Shop by Macklemore
c) Wannabe by Spice Girls
d) all of the above

Yeah, so basically Shreve had karaoke night last weekend, so after Jess's birthday dinner and watching a movie, we hit up the free mocktails and singing.  The 3E girls sang 22 together, Jess and I rapped Thrift Shop (with her singing the cuss words, of course), and Annie and I sang Wannabe.  I'm pretty sure everyone's ears were bleeding afterwards, but hey, it was a good time.

8. Kasey went on a date since the last time you heard from her.
a) True
b) False

Did she mark the wrong answer?  She obviously meant to highlight false...

No I didn't, voice inside my blog.  I know it sounds unlikely, but it's true.

His name is Jacob and we went to get Starbucks and walk around campus a couple weekends ago.  Super casual, super chill, but super fun.  He's a really cool guy, and he paid for my coffee, which is always a plus.  We've hung out a couple more times, so we shall see what becomes of that.

Alright, enough of quizzes.  I don't like them.

Onto something a little more serious:

For those of you who may not know, a couple guys who I went to high school with who were a year younger than me got into a car accident last weekend.  It really affected the community because Peyton passed away and Tony is in critical condition at the hospital.  So many people and friends know and love them, so it was really tough.  Tony, his family, Peyton's family, and all their friends could really use some prayers right now, so please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.  It would be much appreciated.

Well, that's all for now.  Catch ya on the flip side.

XOXO

PS, this is my ridiculous floor this year:
