the_dala at 05:51pm on 05/11/2006::twitches:: So Vanessa and Laura are members of the executive board for the Intervarsity Christian Fellowship, and they hold meetings here on Sundays. This would not be such a big deal, except that today they've been here since 2:00 this afternoon. It's almost 6 now. I haven't been able to peacefully inhabit my kitchen or my common room in all this time, and frankly I think it's a little ridiculous. It's not that they're not nice folks, but they take over the common area and talk about their stuff, and I feel like an intruder in my own apartment when I wander through to make lunch or walk to the laundry room. I think I'm going to talk to Ness and Laura when they're gone, because all day is a little absurd. No one asked if I minded having Bible study and IV meetings here in the first place, and I wouldn't mind (aside from today) but it would be nice to at least be asked. I live here and I pay the housing fee and I buy my share of the groceries and I do dishes, and I would like to be asked.
On another note: talking about getting freshmen "locked into a church" makes you sound like a creepy, dangerous cult. Just FYI. Why do people talk about religion like it's a super-awesome secret club in one breath and an obligation or a burden in the next?
On a happier note, I have found the perfect instant cider. The campus store is selling packets of it. It's make by a Canadian company called Gourmet Village (everything on the package is repeated in French, which tickles me) and it is, seriously, too good to be believed. It's like those "It's not delivery, it's DiGiorrno!" commercials. They have ordinary spiced cider (called Witches' Brew, so maybe it's seasonal) and this cranberry cider that turns out a deep, dark pink and is almost too pretty to drink. The Grind just got in Christmas hot chocolates -- double truffle and mint -- that I am super excited about trying. I don't know where I'm going to find the stuff when the Grind goes out of stock. I seriously might order it online, if I can ::scurries off to Google::
ETA: Have I mentioned how freaking much I want to see The Fountain? They're finally showing trailers for it. Have been waiting since I saw an Entertainment Weekly picture this summer of Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz in period clothing and went "PLEASE I LOVE YOU DON'T SUCK!"
