This is what happens when you live in a dorm...

I live on a dormitory hall full of women. Lively, creative, amazing, and beautiful women.

What this means is that life is never boring. And as I have said multiple times before, it's like a sitcom.

I live in a room by myself, but that just means that in the quietness of my mostly empty room, I can hear what goes on in the hall much better. For example, one day after several bouts of "WHO STOLE MY SHOES?!" on the hall, I came out to find that the victim had made a large flowchart and placed it on her door. I can't remember all the complexities, but what stood out to me was this:

If that wasn't enough to convince you that I live on an awesome hall, how about this? Shortly after I first moved in, the girls in the room next door to me were playing the soundtrack from the musical "Wicked". I was humming along from my room, and when it came to the song "Popular", I started to sing Glinda's part in my best Kristen Chenowith impersonation. I had the door open, so they could hear me.

One of the girls who'd been singing came running over and we ended up dueting the rest of the song. It. was. glorious. At any given time, someone can be singing a showtune on the hall and someone else from several doors down will finish it.

Here's the one that takes the cake so far:

This morning, our R.A. came out of her room to find that someone had taken aquamarine-colored duct tape and made a crime-scene body outline on the floor in front of her door. Next to it were three sticky notes carrying the message, "This is what happens when you go to bed early."

She said she stared for a minute and then laughed. My reaction when I discovered it was a rather loud, "What the heck?!" ...that's a common enough occurrence on my hall: you hear some really weird things.

I think we've even started our own quote wall, separate from the one I posted earlier. 

For example:

1. "Skunks are like the unicorns of the jungle!"

2. "I want to be hugged...by a sandwich!"

3. "Are you aware that you have a belt tucked into your back pocket?" "Yeah, Hannah put it there." "Oh, goo-....wait. ....And the circle gets weirder."

4. "Aw, I love to hear the rain tapping on my window!" "That's not the only thing tapping on your window." (Creepy grin)

I love my hall.
