Fast Times at Elon University

Before the holiday.... I had a really lovely weekend hanging out with friends. Even during the week was pleasant when I had time to get away from the stress-filled bubble and go out somewhere. Jamile's final orchestra recital was on Tuesday, November 13th and boy was it a great way to end her journey. The program was very eclectic and I don't think I've ever seen the musicians move so much in between songs. Later informed at Chili's (after-party) that the conductor wanted to utilize the talent leaving and recognize those staying. Below are some snap shots of our mini celebration:

 Friday night I spent quietly indoors with my friends Brittany and Reene. We watched Kevin Little stand-up and played video games. It was nice for a change to have fun without getting wiped out (i.e. going clubbing or out "partying" around Elon...it takes work). I also was adventurous, bored and procrastinating so I figured why not make Sam's bean dip (yummy) and bake PB Kisses cookies :) Saturday night was Smurf's official 21st bday party. The week prior some of the ruggers surprised her with a fun night at the bowling alley on Church St. This was a Smurf themed party = everything blue! Long story short, Smurf is Lauren's nickname in rugby and when she had blue hair we started to call her Smurf. It was nice to hang out at a social for a change. Its one of the few I've gone to so I'm trying my best to get out more.

Also on Saturday in the afternoon I saw Beautiful Bodies, a production put up and organized by the senior acting majors. Rebekah, one of my Elon friends, played the quirky and semi-off woman in the play. In short its about six women friends who once roomed together in their younger years coming together for a baby shower where all the secrets and long-over-due stories come out. Its pretty weird knowing that that was the last show for the seniors. Wow how time flies.

Song Obsession

So nothing really exciting has happened or is expected to happen this weekend other than a tie dying party at Schmidty's place earlier to today which was pretty sweet :) So I have decided to post lyrics to one of my favorite ilyAIMY songs off their A Gift for Saint Cecilia album entitled "Ask for Me":

If you go down to the bar cause you need a love song
I'll tell you I'm... the one you need to see.
So come into my corner, pop a quarter in my heart
And when you arrive be sure to ask for me.

You've been workin hard all day
And you need something to ease your mind.
Well honey I'm... singin till three.
When they say last call you don't have to go home.
I think I've got a song left in me.

Chorus:
So if you want me don't you dare let me go.
Don't make it harder than it has to be.
Cause I am your for the asking,
I am your for the asking,
I am yours...so come on and ask for me.
(Guitar solo)

Cause I've been broken hearted and I've been tired
But you've set me back on fire.
And I bet that you and I can find a melody.
Cause I've lost all that I've loved and if there is a God above
I can't ask for this but you could ask for me.

Chorus:

So if you want me don't you dare let me go.

Don't make it harder than it has to be.

Cause I am your for the asking, 

I am your for the asking,

I am yours...so come on and ask for me.

So come on and ask for me

So come on and ask for me

Come on baby

We only get what ask for and not what we deserve

We only get what ask for and not what we deserve

Oh we only get what ask for and not what we deserve,

No no

So you go down to the bar cause you need a love song

I'll tell you I'm... the only one you need.

Chorus:

So if you want me don't you dare let me go.

Don't make it harder than it has to be.

Cause I am your for the asking, 

I am your for the asking,

I am yours...ohhhh....so come on and ask for me.
