Okay so I've been back home for like a week. But whatever. It's been quiet at home and things have calmed since The Older Brother's break with sanity. The Wine Heir sent me flowers apparently. They were all dead by the time I got home haha.
I've been going to the gym to get my tone back... I've lost it over the last few weeks. It's actually been inspiring. Last night, I went pretty late and there was this overweight man who was working out. That is what all fat people should do. Work out. Doing weights. Running on the treadmill. Hell, walking on the treadmill. SOMETHING active. I talked to my favorite trainer and apparently the guy's already lost like 50 pounds over the last several months. THAT is inspiring. Not even on the fat people becoming healthier level but the fact that someone can dedicate themselves to doing something.
The Guitar Hero has been really cute. I think the past weeks have reassured him of us. He's been driving up to see me even though it's like an hour and half away so it's been nice spending time together even though it's the summer.

I never realized how boring yachts could be... yet aren't at the same time.
The Guitar Hero's Father is an important businessman. Which means that even his yacht is outfitted with business tools. For example: The Internet. It's kinda sucky when we're out on the water (probably dial up speed) but it's ridiculously amazing when we're in the harbor.
That's about it. We got into a mild race today with another yacht. We totally kicked their asses. Some University crew team was also out practicing today. They provided nice eye candy for The Sorority Prodigy and me. All we did was lay out on the deck, look pretty, and sip mai tais. It was a relaxing day.
I couldn't sleep though and ended up changing the look of my blog. It was time.

It's the middle of summer. Why are people having "crises" about rush ALREADY?
I woke up this morning to find about 20 messages (voice/text/email) on my phone from assorted members of The House in various states of panic about recruitment. And I've yet to figure out why.
Yes, rush is important. It is the time where we fish out the girls who will be our successors from the girls who don't care about life enough to slick on some deodorant in the morning. But, we're not anywhere near it right now and The House does well every year. This year will not be any different, especially since The Rush Board has already put together a plan of action about our events and how we expect everyone to conduct themselves.
Miss Socially Awkward (who has always been a little slow in terms of fashion) sent me an email about not being able to find a white dress. What the hell? First of all... nobody said she needed a white dress for rush. To wear a white dress is actually a little stupid for rush, considering it's crowded and someone could have an accident with a glass of The House's Red Raspberry Cordial and your white dress would now have a giant red splotch on it. Unlike some houses (like The Dancers and Barbie's Dream House), The House doesn't believe in having assigned "colors" for each day. Honestly, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. I remember when I went through rush and saw every single girl in Barbie's Dream House wearing black, grey, and red. They were like clones... which ironically is precisely what their personalities are like...
No, we prefer style over color uniformity. We instead choose a theme for the day and you must wear clothing appropriate to that theme. You may wear whatever colors you choose as long as they're flattering and fit the theme. And you can't wear colors that will clash with your Rush Team.
We sometimes hit snags with The Socially Awkward, who apparently have never seen a copy of Vogue, Seventeen, Lucky, or InStyle. Ever. But that's why we assign them to shopping buddies who must make time during the summer to go on a shopping trip with them.
In any case, I spent all morning calling these people back and approving the photos of their prospective outfits that they emailed me. I've rather envious of Little Sis #2's pumps... she got a brand new pair of Manolo Blahniks for her birthday. They're gorgeous and will fit right into three nights of Rush: Business Casual, Catwalk, and Formal.
The Sorority Prodigy came in about halfway through my replying to all these messages. She has impeccable taste, no doubt inherited from her mother. She walked in right when I was calling The Miser back. This girl drives me crazy. She constantly bitches about how expensive clothes are... because she only buys expensive clothes. I hate how hypocritically annoying she is. I swear you open her closet and it's all designer labels. She's also apparently never heard of a sales rack. She should really learn to hang out with The Bargain Hunter. That girl finds more discounts and sales than anyone else I know. Give her a set dollar amount that would seem impossible to outfit oneself for a given occasion, and she'll do it. It's amazing the rush you get when you find bargains.
The only legitimate call I got was from another member of The Rush Board, who was struggling to find a new printer for our sign that hangs outside of The House during Rush Week since the old printer went out of business and this is time sensitive since we have to get them the design and whatnot so they can print it and get it back to us by Rush.

Sailing, Sailing over the ocean blue
I've decided to go on the sailing trip with The Guitar Hero's family. In addition to the perk of avoiding The Older Brother altogether, I doubt The Guitar Hero's mother would have let me refuse. Thank god I packed extra clothes!
The past few days have been relatively quiet. It's been nice. We sail the day after tomorrow.
