For Alpha Phi Theta Sigma Chapter we conducted a fundraiser for the Alpha Phi Foundation and our Philanthropy Women's Cardiac Care. We received donations and constructed 15 appealing baskets to auction off. Our chapter raised $5,001 (a dollar is a dollar) all to donate. VERY exciting. Oh ya, you wear red! One picture is of the pin (and logo) for our philanthropy a red dress.

i am so emo right now

That's what I think about Valentine's Day. I am such an artist. ("It's Science" is from Anchorman so you say it with what I call, a "Burgandy" voice.)

P.S. Just for those who might ask I'll save you the comment. "emo" is a type of music short for emotional, sometimes angry and bitter (ie: Dashboard Confessional PERFECT example) It's a sub genre for hardcore punk music. (I could go on and on about the history but Dashboard is one of the most popular versions of emo, a breakthrough band, and one of my favorites) so it's basically kinda like crybaby music. I love it, pretty much have since the 7th grade. And now it's turned into like a scene-you can dress emo, (Patrick with his hood on and headphones in, so emo right now) everyone has been making fun of me (but they secretly wanna be like me) for being emo. Don't hate.

Examples of some emo lyrics

"Sing this song for me, and tell me how you'll never leave my side, I'll meet you at 7, I miss you already, goodbye to you."
*The Starting Line [Cheek to Cheek] AMAZING live. This was their encore song

"I'm not sleeping, no I'm not sleeping, because of you, and I've been dying to know, what's on your mind, and I've been dying, to hear your voice"
*Allred [I'm Not Sleeping]

"I'd buy you lemonade right now, if you were here, and I'd throw it in your face, and I'd listen to you cry!" (crazy huh!? hahha)
*Saves the Day [Rocks Tonic Juice Magic]

"I heard about your regrets, I heard that you were feeling sorry, I heard from someone that you wish you could set things right between us"
*Dashboard Confessional [The Best Deceptions]

"Take aim at the soft and tender, cause staring's not supposed to hurt!"
*The Higher [Lo]

I hope I have educated someone today. Yikes I sound like Micheal from tonite.

"From whence it came huh?"

Alright, I just find it amusing. This is a chicken dance Zach and I do from Arrested Development. Sometimes other's join in. He does Gob's and I do Lindsay's. It makes us so happy. It also embarrasses Mom. Which we love! This was Thanksgiving dinner at a very nice restaurant. So nice it made Zach and I, yes even Russ, a little squeamish to misbehave. We did not fail to do so. Classy, I know. But I can still say our family isn't boring. I've visited some of my friend's family's..wow. We are fun. Take my word for it.

Also how bout Zach's blog? I swear it was like front page news brother! Everyone was talking about it! "Did you hear???? Zach posted on his blog!!!" I got texts, phone calls, email's. I guess we kinda like you huh?

I'm weird.

Caity inspired me.

1. I am the Radio Nazi. Pretty much wherever I go, I am in charge of the music. In the car, in my room, when I clean, and especially at work, I bring in the cds, I control the radio. Whatever I say goes. I am always used to my music being very loud-Mom and Dad probably told me to turn down my music maybe once my whole life. What great parents. Music is supposed to be heard-it is supposed to be loud. Good thing I live in the basement.

2. I'm obsessed with eyebrows. I always notice when someone has good eyebrows. They can make or break a face. I am very particular with my own eyebrows and how they are done as well-I wonder where it comes from. Could it have something to do with Caitlin waxing my bushy brows when I was in 7th grade, no?

3. Although I agree with needing the undeniable tasty duo of the chips with the sandwich-I am now a bigger connoisseur of the ice cold beverage. I don't drink soda any longer. Very difficult when I get free soda-and I really like soda. So now I need something other than soda with every meal. Powerade, Lemonade, and I love love love Orange juice. I'm almost always in the mood for it. Yumbo.

4. On the inside, I'm 7 years old. I love dancing like a crazy person and I have no shame (I do this at work, at boys houses I just met, school hallway, in the rain, living room) I am a candy face. I still want to stay up late past my bedtime. I never like a boy for longer than a week. My favorite birthday gift this year-was a plastic ring from my birthday cake (all my best friends have matching ones too.)

5. The Salty Sweet Combo. Doritos + double stuff Oreos= delectable treat. I know, I know. This stems from Caity too, even though she would only eat that stuff with me under my suggestion she would still partake in the joy of the extreme unhealthiness. I have spread the love for this abroad. (Mama says it's PMS food.)

6. I can memorize lines to a movie all too easily. I say nothing original, because everything reminds me of a quote. I know this is a good Lunn trait-but seriously don't test me. I will get the line right, too.

7. I don't like to match. I mean I follow the rules like black and brown, stuff like that. Something matching and something that "goes" is totally different. And sometimes I think I have a gift for putting things together. When I get one new thing-I have ten new outfits. I think it was being exposed to those Instyle layout things at a very young age. I wear things several people never would. Probably the only thing I'm good at.

Snow Snow Snow Snow Snow!

it won't be long before we'll all be there with snow! We have so much snow. I get excited sometimes-I love it when you can see the snow falling in a picture. One picture is of Sara and I starting Fred (it was like 2 degrees out) he was never finished. Another is some Cinderella shoes in the snow (stolen from a roommate yes). And yes, I am silly/dumb enough to just lay in the snow (actually done for G-ro's photography class-but still my idea.)

Alpha Phi Theta Sigma Chapter at SUU

So we live in an old weird house and there are two big trophy cases; this would be so tacky in a regular home, but it works perfectly for us! We can display awards we get from the school (Organization of the Year two years in a row ahem) or Internationals, other Greeks, or awards presented at formal for girls who live in the house. We actually put on display something I made myself! Since everyone puts up cool things they make (I have very little) I thought this would be cool. This was a plain hat box we bought at a craft store-me and one other girl spent 7 hours painting it, cutting out magazine clippings, mostly words, and designing the top. Yea, alot of time (last year hah). We mad it for a new tradition we started in our chapter (Alpha Phi at SUU). At every annual sisterhood retreat every girl brings a picture and writes down a memory and puts it in the box and the next year we read the previous and put new ones in. Corny, I know, but so fun! The box has over 20 different symbols somewhere on it or inside it that our chapter values. Plus it's pretty.

The first few are the basement (where my bedroom is) continued, and then some of the upstairs, and our most recent composite. I don't think you can see me at the bottom, but I think they're cool lookin.
