There are a lot of naked butts around

The Mansion. I didn't think guys wandered the halls naked but apparently they do. And spank each others butts as they walk by. It's actually really amusing in a kind of scary way.

I've been kicking it here with The Guitar Hero as the last few days of finals go by. It's been pretty chill... he's not too worried about his finals so we've done a lot of chilling poolside and in his room. This other guy, whom I shall name The Gamer, because he is forever playing those video games that guys play actually just pinned his girlfriend tonight and that was fun to watch. The boys serenaded her and there were candles and all that and a bunch of the girls from her house (Barbie's Dream House) were there and all excited and gushy. I'll admit these things as lame as they may seem to the average person, are actually really cool. I mean, it's a tradition that's been passed down forever, basically.

Haha Miss Socially Awkward thinks they're "archaic" and "demeaning to females." Which in my mind is so ridiculously stupid. You don't HAVE to be pinned if you don't want to... it's completely a personal choice. It's not like you parade around town wearing your boy's frat pin... it's just a purely symbolic gesture brought down from tradition. If it's another thing that bothers me about Miss Socially Awkward is that she doesn't appreciate tradition. Sure, now is the time to be the liberal college student or whatever... but you don't have to go protesting every since convention ever. I mean why stop at pins then? Why not protest WonderBread?

This year was pretty exciting for The House "pinning" wise, after all, what sorority girl doesn't want to be pinned (other than Miss Socially Awkward)? Six girls in The House were pinned and The Twins (actual biological twins) got engaged. It was definitely a shocker. I hate telling people that The Twins got engaged... because they're not identical and they're not engaged to twin brothers or brothers or anything oddly fairy tale coincidental like that. They even pledged different semesters. But they're engaged to good guys. One of them is engaged to a MBA student who just graduated and the other is engaged to this guy who works for Generic Biotech Firm. We're all pretty excited for them. And of course since their parents are loaded, they're having separate weddings just to underline the fact that they are being individualistic. So yay... two weddings for me to look forward to. Who knows? Maybe I'll even get asked to be a bridesmaid... after all, they run in my circle in The House and we've had some very drunken nights together. They've invited The Guitar Hero and me to a barbecue they're having later this week at Generic Biotech Firm Guy's house... he just bought a house for the two of them... isn't that CUTE? I'm sure her parents are in love with him already. That should be fun... the boys doing their grill thing and the girls just hanging out.

Thank God The Guitar Hero has his own bathroom so I don't have to wander the halls with naked butts in search of a shower...
