another get together at our teal oasis

this sums up our feelings about our party.
my roommates and i had a Welcome Back Celebration, and these were the invitations >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
we also meshed it with a Valentine's theme, since it was February
Meet the new roommates!!
this is the lovely, Kerry.Rosanna, with her dear pet Iago,
and the myth, the mystery, Lauren Angel.and me, holding a jar of buttons. (the best housewarming gift ever!)
one of my favorite parts about our party was our measuring wall. anyone who comes into our apartment immediately is required to take off their shoes to be measured. a room 207 tradition.
we had cupcakes hidden everywhere so that if you needed a snack, it was available
i think my favorite part about parties is making real invitations (no facebook messages. they go against my values.) and dressing up.
donny! and me!blythe was sick, but was a dear and came anyway-
blythe, me and lindsey doing our surprised face. we've done it at every get-together for the past SEVEN YEARS!

{okay, i didn't take any pictures of our guests this time. i think i got distracted by, our guests, so please excuse the abnormal amount of pictures of only myself, and not of the rest of the world...}

here's another group photo, with our fun wall decor
el and i!


abrupt ending,
shannon

I notice that Donny didn't dress up for your party. Chad Sexton's Drum City, geez.

I used to play in a band called "Life In Art." It's kinda like your blog name, but backwards...syntax-wise, not literally because that would just be "trA nI efiL." Doesn't make sense.

Go Donny! Looks like (to gr ma) that you were the only guy at the party! If not, then don't go Donny! When you are around Shannon life is a party, right? I'll come too, someday.

Love ya Shannon, GR MA

okay, i need to clarify:

1. only my roommates and i dressed up.

2. there were a LOT of people at the party, but i just didn't take pictures. which-- in turn-- makes us look like our party was kind of lame.

3. there were more men at the party than just donny

4. again: donny was not underdressed, we were... overdressed.

whew.
