roga 219: 11.05

this is old but good:

HURRAH! HURRAH! HURRAH FOR ISRAEL!

It’s the most wonderful time of year, and time for the annual (if annual means “anytime-Rachel-feels-like-reading-about-herself-in-print”) Christmas newsletter from 219! We like to keep our complex-mates up-to-date on each roommate’s life events to help improve community understanding of the strange rumors circulating about us. (Actually, I have not heard of any rumors, which is a little distressing because everyone knows that when there are rumors about you, you must be either the epitome of cool or really rich. Those are the two objectives of 219: epitome of cool and really rich. So far, Dominique is the richest and Dani is the coolest. But come on, where are the rumors??)

Since the last two Christmas letters from our apartment have been in standard life-summary format, how about something different?... But en realidad (which is Spanish for “actually”), I can’t think of something different, so I will press forward with what I know. Except instead of doing this in age order, I will do it in Rank of Officers order.

Daniela Nicole Woodland (known as “Dani” in most social settings) is the reigning PRESIDENT OF 219!!! She does not, however, wear a badge that says “President of 219,” so you would have to ask her to find out. She could probably beat you in a leg wrestling contest. Unless you were a guy. Or a girl stronger than her. But if you were a really weak guy, she could beat you.

Blair Christine Bury has the same middle name as the first name of the main character in Phantom of the Opera and is the mascot of 219. She really loves playing Skirt Kickball and does not think that it is a weird game at all. There was this one time when she couldn’t wait to get home to open the ice cream so she ate it with her finger in the car. YUM.

Rachel Mary Ca…ROCKETT!!! is the historian of 219, which is a very important office indeed. She will be leaving in November to fulfill her duty as a saint. If you ask really nicely and promise to sit by her for the whole time, she might let you wear her engagement ring for five minutes. But that would not mean that you get to marry Ben. Please see her for an application to be our roommate.

Colette Desta Gibby (known as “Colette Gibby” in most social settings) is our esteemed secretary. Her notes at roommate meetings are usually not very useful, if they exist at all. Colette only has one piercing in each ear, thank goodness, but she also has two holes in her nose that we fondly refer to as “nostrils.”

If Lindsay Elise Dahl, who is the Vice President of 219, could be any character in Ice Princess, she would be Teddy so she could ride the zamboni over the hill just at that moment when Casey needed the inspiration. And because he is hot. If she were a country, she would be HUNGARY. But she would not hold up a sign that said “HUNGARY” in Relief Society. Tell her you like her bangs, because we sure do!!

Dominique Marie Sudar is currently out with some guy whose last name is the best onomatopoeia that we know. Come to Colette for a sound byte. Hint: it is not GARBINSKY. But if you coated yourself in metal and jumped into a metal bowl, this is the noise you would hear. She is treasurer because she is the richest.

These girls are not freshmen (I am serious). Please stop by and visit either our physical apartment (RoGa 219) or our virtual one (roga219.blogspot.com). We love you and Merry Christmas! (But not Mary Christmas.) Oh and Nuit Blanche (October 21^st) is going to be AWESOME.

LOVE 219.
