Arandom Post: Thankfulness

Sidetracking from the usual(WEIRD), random(STRUCTURED), scattered(CLEAR) posts, I'd just really like to say how thankful I am.  I'm thankful for my family.  I'm thankful for Jen Horchler (seriously Roomie, you're the best), and I'm extremely thankful for this hall called Fourth North that I'm blessed to live on.  I can't imagine my junior year of college revolving around anything else other than spending time with these lovely ladies God has put in my life.

I'm thankful to you, readers, for being so funny and understanding.  Thanks for approaching me and reminding me about this blog and it's purpose.  Thanks for being a part of every crazy adventure Jen and I go on.  WE SERIOUSLY LOVE YOU.  All of you.  

Thanks Nick and Jon for letting us mess with you all the time.  You guys are so great.  (We haven't posted about our date night yet, have we? Shoot...I'm blaming Jen).  Here's a sneak-peak:




Yeah. BEST DATE NIGHT EVER.

We'll talk again soon, mmk?
Love Aranda

How to: Trix People into Being Your Friend

So this past week Jen sat on Cougar Walk and grabbed some statistics from people walking to and from class/eating/leaving chapel.  She asked the question:  "How do I trick people into being my friend?"  An overwhelming number of people responded.  31% of the people had bad answers that we kinda agreed with.  17% of the people tried to impress her with magic tricks. 45% of the people asked her for directions.  And 15% of the people had really unrelevant answers that we didn't understand at all.

So we ignored the evidence and came up with our own answers:


"How to Trix People into Being Your Friend"
By: Aranda and Jen



9#-Learn their class schedule and sign up for at least 50% of those same classes.
6#-Send them a request on FB and then email them later saying you were hacked.  
4#-Buy something that you already know they own, then when you see them around you can say "Oh my gosh! I have a Cars backpack too!  WE'RE TWINS!"  They'll take it as a sign that you two were meant to be besties.
3#-Don't mess with their hair, or go in for a hug too soon in the relationship. If you do, they'll associate you with the word 'creepy' instead of 'friendly'.
5#-When meeting someone new, make sure you only talk about yourself. Dirty looks/smirks are a good sign. pr0m!$3.
8#-Make them presents they don't know they want. (example-"Here's one knitted sock Livi.")  They'll never forget you, and maybe someday they'll return the favor.
2#- Practice doing hand-stands.  People will want to be associated with you in social settings if you have a special talent/skill.
7#-Don't have an offensive personality.  People don't like being offended.
1#-Make a list of nice words/compliments and when you're introduced to someone new, refer to it.  People love compliments.  Make sure you read the list to them genuinely.  
10#-Practice having a DTR (Define the Relationship-the shift from stalker to friend) every now and then, in front of a mirror.  That way when the time comes where you finally meet a potential friend, you wont be nervous.  This is also where you make sure random facts you learned about them through facebook don't come up in conversation.  


Now go out and trick some craziez!

How to: Start Blogging Again

Mmmm...well it's been a long time since the last time we blogged.  Why you ask?  Okay we'll tell you...Are you sure you want to have a DTR right now though?  How about we just pretend like nothing ever happened.  We'll pretend like we never broke your heart.  We'll pretend that we didn't neglect/cheat on you.  And we'll also pretend like we never said "It's not you, it's me"...because it obviously wasn't me...

We're blogging right now because tomorrow is a very big day.  Tomorrow is THE day.  The day you've all been waiting for:

Jen and Aranda asked Jon Firman and Nick Fanton out.
Yep.
We have dates with APU celebrities.

For those of you who haven't joined the 'Joy.Catch it.' blog phenomenon yet, check these links out:
Jon Firman   &    Nick Fanton

Do we have a plan for tomorrow?  You bet we do.  And if everything goes well we'll blog about it ASAP.
Here's how we asked them btw.

Enough about us!  What's new with you??
