Okay, so before you say: "That lighting is horrible" or "The sound on that video is ridiculous" or even "What the heck are they talking about?"...just remember that it's our first one. And we're learning, so thanks for being part of the process. Wink. Exclamation point. Exclamation point. Smiley face.

ARANDOM POST: JEN GOT A BLACK EYE

Dear Everyone,

It's Wednesday, and we're going to keep things short and simple!  So here's the 411.

1) Jen got a black eye in her water polo game.  (!!!!!!!!)
2) I saw N.F. at Luke's.  We watched Jeopardy together.
3) Nate F. is a genius writer, and his talent will debut soon.

Question:  What happens when you have a hyper roommate who jumps in pictures?

Answer: You get this.  And you get the added bonus of Robot Livi.

*****N.F. ALERT-  Jen saw Nick Fanton four times today.  Nick Fanton saw Jen five times.  What does this tell us?  I think the stalked-one is turning into the stalker...

Guest Post: Maddy

It is Tuesday and you know what that means!  ...

...I actually don't remember what that means...

Dearest Faithful Followers,
Jen and I adore you.  But sometimes we have to share.  So tonight we have a guest 'post'-er!  Her name is Maddy and we love everything about her!  So you should too.

"Guest Blog!!"  By Maddy

HEY GUYS!! Its Maddy! aka Roomz bff from back home. I am SOO excited I’m visiting APUand that I am a guest blogger!! Best day everrr. So. I will be helping you all accomplish something that I know you all want to accomplish. Since I have checked this off of my ‘to do’ list in life multiple times, I definitely know what I am talking about…

HOW TO MAKE SURE YOUR CRUSH WILL NEVER THINK OF YOU AS MORE THAN JUST THAT GIRL/GUY IN THEIR CLASS:

1) Send a 3 page text talking about how cute and perfect your crush is, and how its too bad they are already taken-to your crush. Even though you make up some elaborate story and explain this was supposed to go to your bff, your crush will just think you are kinda weird. And pathetic.

2) Tell your friend how hot and funny your crush is while your friend is at their locker. Make sure your crush is right behind you, waiting for you to move so they can get to their locker…which is right next to your friends. Your crush will be sure to hear you go on and on about them… even if you guys have never even really talked. They will think you are a creeper.

3) When you and your crush are talking in class, and they mention they went on a trip to Europe 2 summers ago, quickly say “Oh ya I saw your album on facebook!” this is only a good thing if you guys are not facebook friends. They will think you are a stalker.

So do all these things, and your crush will now think of you as a weird, pathetic, creepy stalker. PERFECT. You will never be with them. But that’s ok! It’s way more fun to be a weird, pathetic, creepy stalker than to be in a relationship. It’s much funnier… because you can laugh with your friends about how much of an idiot you looked like after doing these things. Ha!

HAPPY TUESDAY!!!!! 

-Maddy

Sleep tonight.  Or stay up and do homework like me.

P.S.  LUKE I AM SO SORRY I MISSED JEOPARDY.

*****N.F. ALERT-I learned a secret about Nick Fanton this Monday.  He has a hidden talent he has never shared with his BFFS (Jen and Aranda).  We're trying to figure out the best way to share this secret with the world.  A good place to start would be getting his permission.  But that's not really how we do things around here...

Jon Firman=A Winner

Sometimes, people have feelings, and those feelings aren't recognized.  So today is all about Jon Firman.  Because he really is/was/will always be a winner.

Dear Jon,
We are SEW sorry we didn't give you credit.  Yes, we are also sorry that we lied and said you never stopped by yesterday.  This week is your week.  You beat Jen in the Scooter Race, and you beat me in a very intense, and close, track race last night.

Can we be friends again?   Will you ever forgive us?

Lets talk about you and how great you are!  In order to successfully do this, we must talk about your accordion.

The Interview With Jon Firman and His Accordion

1) Where did you get your accordion? I learned on my mom's, but a guy at my church gave me his larger one because he never used it.
2)Are you any good? Was Michael Jordan good? Was Milos Stankovic good? Was Greg Ostertag good? Yes to all the following. Except Greg Ostertag. And Milos Stankovic. I am pretty good too. In fact, I think Im the best accordionist you know.
3) Do you write your own songs?  Do you write your own songs?
4) Has Paul ever stolen your accordion? Just so everyone knows, Paul is my roommate.  (Jon did not answer this question.  It is a mystery I am sure Jen and I will solve.  We will keep you posted.)
5) Who do you have babysit it when you leave town? This question implies that I sometimes leave my accordion by itself for exteneded periods of time.
6) Is this a hobby or a career? Back in '08 I put an add on craigslist which fared better than my other "I am a plumber and babysit kids too" ad. I boasted fine quality entertainment for weddings, birthday parties (my mom would dress as a clown, or for an extra $25, a dancing monkey), quincinieras, and bar mitzvahs. I only got one gig but the motzah balls were worth it.
 7) Can I have it? The back o' yo' head is ridiculus.
8)Who are your best friends? daniellejenpaulmichellearandaaliviaalannastevenkylebeua
9) Would you ever throw rocks at a girls window and serendae her? How do you think im getting engaged....

If you haven't met him already.  Meeting Jon should be one of your life goals.  Thanks for being so awesome JF!  You deserve this week of winning.

Have the best Monday you've ever had,
<3Aranda

THIS WEEK:
-Jen and I will maybe, possibly, have more news about Nick Fanton.  (!!!)
-We'll be hearing from Nate F. and Maddy!
-Friday is Tanktacular.  I'm sure we'll have stories to tell you about it on Saturday's post.

We love suggestions.   Facebook us.

Person Of The Week: ?

Sunday Sunday Sunday.

We were going to let Jon post since he won the scooter race last week and whatnot, but he hasn't shown up.  He hasn't even stopped by once today!  Strange right?  You would think he would want to gloat or something.  Oh well.  Congratulations go to Jen Horchler for being this week's...person!  Woohoo Jen!

"I will always win!!!!!"

Next weeks potential people are:  Kyle Greenberg, Tess Bates, Laurel Taylor, Amanda Loreman, Fawn Roby, and Alivia Erickson.  Now some of you may be thinking "That's not fair.  I should be the person of the week". But how am I supposed to know this?  For all we know, the only people who read this are our moms.  So message us, and you just might beat Jen!

<3Aranda&Jen

*****N.F. ALERT-  He was watching Tangled in Luke's apartment tonight.  It was approximately 8:30pm.

How To: Write Poetry Good

Today's post is delightfully wonderful, so I've been saving it.  But I think it's time I publish this valuable information from the well-known Kyle Greenberg.

"My names Kyle, and this is how I write Poetry!" 

Poetry, a word who’s root is poet, which of course means a” person who writes poetry”, is a beautiful thing. 

Now I’ve been hearing reports of rumors suggesting that people are willingly signing up for instructional classes on how to write poetry. Shocking, I know. Poetry is an art, and yet, these people somehow delude themselves into thinking that some class will teach them how to have mastery over words. Wordsmiths like T.S Elliot, Shakespeare, Robert Frost, Rebecca Black, Emily Dickenson, and Walt Whitman were not created, they were born poets! But, if you listen to these following suggestions, we may yet be able to create a poet out of you!

1. Use unique color names. Red, blue, yellow=boring. Crimson, cobalt, chartreuse=hecka tight!
1. Ex) Red tears fall upon a blue floor

     or

           Crimson tears fall upon a cobalt floor

2. Forced rhymes are cool rhymes. If I’ve learned anything from pop culture, its that “there” can, and in fact, should be rhymed with any other word ending with an “r” sound.

1. Ex) There are care do not rhyme

    Or

                               I like you baby right thurr

                               We gonna party like we don’t curr

3. Puns are great. And fun. Have fun with puns.
4. Poems shouldn’t make sense. Or be about anything. Take the great Hawaiian poet, Jack Johnson, for example. Bubbly Toes is about nothing. It is an incoherent mess. And therefore, pure gold. Its still the best selling song off of his original poetry album. And that compilation had Sexi Plexi on it, so that’s saying a lot. Ya dig?
5. Girls (and boys too, I guess) like it when you write overly observant poems about them. So what if you have only interacted once or twice, and the majority of those interactions are on facebook. And are one sided. Because he or she never replies to your wall posts. Or messages. Or pokes. He or she will love that poem you wrote that correctly identifies his or her eye color, month of birth, beloved family pet, state of residence, hobby he or she no longer participates in, and his or her preferred cologne/perfume. Trust me. Some of the closest dates I have ever almost got were with girls I wrote super specific poems for.
6. Oh! And its even better when your poem for that special someone has this very specific form: You start the first line with the first letter in their name, and then every line after is the subsequent letter. Additionally, the first line has the exact number of syllables as the first number in their phone number, and then every line has the subsequent digit’s amount of syllables. The object of your overly observant infatuation will notice little details like that and love it!
1. Take my name and number for example)

(K-6) Karst terrain below me

(Y-3) Yep its thurr

(L-0)  ?

(E-7)  Everyone should now be shurr.

(G-4) Great flavescent (that means tan. Remember tip1?)

(R-3) Rocks; crackéd-

(E-1) Earth

(E-7) Effigies threaten me hurr.

(N-1) Now,

(B-1) Bow

(E-6) Every heart, and take your

(R-3) Rightful place

(G-0) ?

           

Snaps.

I'm speechless.  I couldn't have said it better Kyle!

LERN SUMTHING KNEW: The History of April 1st

WOW. Well as you know, today is Friday.  And it is by far the greatest day of my life!  Something to know about me: I. LOVE. BIRTHDAYS.  Seriously.  I'm in love with them.  But that's just something random that I brought up for no reason.



"Just another day of Hide-And-Go-Seek at the Horchler house!"



Today's post is about the History of April 1st

What Happened: 
Back on March 19, 1850, Gistun Glombren and his partner in crime Will Daniels, embarked on the Mayflower.  Their ship landed at APU, and they soon realized that there was a need for sports, games, and a Resident Director.  As they set out to solve this problem, they scouted the land.  Gin and Uhranduh appeared out of nowhere and told Gistun and Will a bunch of lies.  They switched names and then disappeared.  All of this happened in one day. That day was April 1st.

Why is this day so important?
Back in 1927, on November 9th, Nike Fontan and Jhan Furmine lived in Chicago.  They fell in love with two beauts who we are not at liberty to mention.  After they realized this love, they started the April 1st Day Band.  With one guitar, one accordion, and two voices like angels, they participated in the Chicago Band Challenge and won a prize.  This prize was a joke.  From Louek Gutzeris.

What Do We Have to Look Forward To?
Page Hitwore marries the President of the United States on this day!!  

Who Loves April and Why?
Kile Seamuth loves April because of Easter Egg Hunts.
Stefin Grovser loves April because of the next person.
Bow Rinstine loves April because it is the month of singing.
Nitk Cado LOVES April because of Humans Vs. Zombies.
Kiven Phaselse will not think this post is funny.  But will think this post is funny.
Alenias Yaygow loves April because she's a nurse.
Viva Ericsun met Marshall on this day!

We love April.  We love life.  We love you.
Have a joyful day,
<3Aranda&Jen
