The Life and Adventures of Lenny, a Smurf.
 

I'm posting this as a Smurf. That's right, a real life smurf. A real life, naked smurf, because I've only got blue jeans and no white pants. Pillow case as a hat, mask as a... mask, blue clothes for the body, and my white trainers (pictures will eventually follow).

The reason? Noah's Ark Bop! It was a Freshers' party thrown by the college in the Junior Common Room, and it was fantastic. Coke is free this week (and 40p/69-i-don't-have-a-cents-button a pint for the rest of the year), company is always at hand, and drinking games can be fun even when you're not drinking!

I'm living on a corridor with fifteen other people, all of whom are sound as a pound, and we all went to the bop together and had great fun in the middle of the bar playing Slaps, Twenty-One and I Have Never.... After that I bumped into someone I know from my old school and had a chat, and then I went and played Pool with the guy two doors down.

University life is really fantastic. Sure, I don't go out clubbing with everyone (I find clubs suffocating), and I don't drink (coke is my limit), but I'm still having the time of my life. The atmosphere is just fantastic, everyone speaks to everyone else, and I couldn't have picked a better bit of the country to come to - not a more beautiful place, at least.

I'm off to bed in a few minutes as I only got four hours sleep last night, and tomorrow I think I'm meeting up with some friends in other years.

Anyway, I just thought I'd give an update on my life, seeing as I've never really done it and that it seems like the thing to do when you reach a certain activity.

Oh, and I met a girl at breakfast (shock horror!!). Well, not true... she initiated the conversation (I'm terrible with small talk, I must admit), so in reality she really met me. Either way, she's a nice girl. A year older and in a relationship, but we're friends. :)

I wanna see lenny the smurf!!!!!!

So do I!!!

I honestly haven't seen myself properly. For all I know, I looked a right berk. :p I'll tell you this for free, though, I couldn't see at all. I had two tiny little eye holes, and no peripheral vision. Even now I think I'm looking down a tunnel.

Lol. Not a very good mask?

I wanna see this random girly who's talking to Lenny.

Fantastic mask, badly made. :p I had an hour to throw together a costume of an animal that was on Noah's Ark. Lion was done, I didn't have the clothes to be the Hair Bear Bunch, but I had everything to be a smurf (and don't you tell me that smurfs weren't on the Ark! Quote to me the bit of the bible states, "And God said to Noah, 'Thou shalt not transport Smurfs, lest thou be thrown into the fiery pits of doooooom!'"), so that's what I went as.

I've never seen such a fantastic display of DIY Costume making in my life as I did on the corridor tonight!

VD: She's about my height, curly, thin black hair, specs, pretty. And she digs my sense of humour, which is always a nice thing. :)

Lucky ass. No girls like my sense of humor. That is most likely cuz I have a New York humor and I am in PA.

Asi, they dig your sense of humor. They dig it all the way to the bedroom, wooo.
Anyways, nice fishing Lenny catching yourself a nice girl to talk to.
You hoping it will get to the next level?

She's in a relationship, if she leaves her current one just to be with Lenny, then she wouldn't be a very loyal girlfriend.

Fuck - That

Yay for cheating, although I probably won't ever do that in my life.
Statement: How hypocritical of me
Query: But will I ever consider cheating?
Passive Response: Only if my personality changes for the worse
Rhetorical Question: What would cause my personality to change that drastically?

I've cheated before, it's not fun at all. You get some worked up with emotion and when you are with the person you shouldn't be with things get out of hand. I feel so bad for the girl I cheated on, I went and told her right away. I felt like shit, Yay for 5 seconds of pleasure and a lifetime of pain. Don't urge her to breakup with her current relationship, but if she isn't satisfied then thats your chance to strike.

Be there in the background. Their relationship could quite possibly end, and there's you a lady!

Indeed, indeed. Could be quite a novel experience.

But no cheating. Cheating is baaaad. Shame on those who want to!

I'm not a smurf any more. :(

This thread is dissapointing without pics.

I want to see Lenny the Smurf.

Seconded.

Fourthed

(You forgot thirded)

order got messed up, Asamin, Thanatos, Jessifer, me. I am fourth.

Worry thee not, they're coming.

And as a bonus, I'll throw in some of my James Bond pictures from tonight. :p

For the record, being "the other guy" is much easier than actually doing the cheating yourself. None of the responsibility, all the benefits. I highly recommend it.

Perhaps it would be easier. I wouldn't want to be in a relationship with the type of person in the middle, however. If they're willing to cheat on someone to be with you, who's to say they wouldn't cheat on you to be with someone else?

She seems pretty happy with him, so I'm not going to push.

Still waiting for the Smurf pictures (:(), and the Bond pictures (:(), but hopefully they'll be put up tomorrow. We've started a Facebook group for our corridor, so we should start putting things up pretty soon.

What, have there been consecutive costume parties this week?

It was my Freshers Week, man, of course there were!!

Well, two. Monday was Noah's Ark, Tuesday was James Bond, and Wednesday was just time spent in the bar.

The pictures are up, and I'll link to them tomorrow.

Not fantastic, and I know there are a few more lurking about, but here are four of the promised photos:

Oh wow.

That white tiger dude looks like a psycho mass murderer.

Zebra. And he probably is - he's from Birmingham.

A few more:

My, grandma...what big hair you have. :P

All the better to heat you with!

I don't think there are any more photos yet (i'll have a lookee).

Another half hour in the bar tonight whilst the girls set things up in the corridor - a guy had his birthday a few days ago, so we threw a party for him.

Random parties, fun.

Corridor Pizza Night! :D

Well, six of us (five guys, one girl). Had a nice time talking, and eating, and drinking. And that's about it. Fun, though.

Tomorrow I've got from 9 until 1, with the afternoon free, and then on Thursday I have seven straight hours with no break for lunch. :( Friday ain't bad, though.

Where's your bowtie?!

See, that's the only time I enjoy drinking, when I'm hanging out with people and we're all just relaxing and talking, and maybe playing a game here and there. Bars are just so...loud, and expensive...

Unfortunately for me I'm the only one in my group of friends that seems to think that way.

I'm saving the bowtie for a college ball. Smart dress is the suit without a tie, formals is the suit with a tie, and a ball is the suit with a bowtie.

I need a new tie, though... I'm like a girl with dresses - I must have a new tie for each formal!

Fixed. ;)

It's more dresses over here... at least with people my age and formal/balls. Girls don't seem to care about shoes, it's more dresses.

God you people are weird. :p Well...I can't say I'm into either anyway. I'm more into...like...

...nothing, really. Maybe headbands or earrings...or socks. I own lots of socks.

I brought 35 pairs of socks with me. :D

By my calculations, I won't need to wash any socks foooor... quite a while.

Hoorah! Someone else who shares my obsession with socks!
