Casey's Response to My "Small Dillema" and No Sympathy for Lizz's Illness (She is GROUNDED!!!)

Well, Lizz hit the nail right on the head when she said that there are only two things in my life.

1. Sleep (which ammounts to 49.5% of my life)
2. Crisis (which takes up the rest of the 50.5% of my life)

Yes, since I have been spending many dear sweet hours with this the Great Elizabeth Alvarez, I have found myself in interesting yet small dillemas this wonderful semester of my Sophomore year here at ACU. This weekend in particular is just filled with crisis after crisis. First, as I proceed to go to Colorado City, Texas for the ever so wonderful FRAT Trip to the state park, I reach my destination to find that it is no longer available for access. This makes me freak out and pull out half of my hair, which does not give me any kind of bald spot at all, it just makes my hair ever so slightly thinner. After an hour and a half of brutal frustration that is only brought upon bu myself, Brother Limbaugh shows up with the rest of the gang to let me into the park.

This however is not the highlight of my excitement. On Sunday of this fantabulous weekend, my pants are greeted by the wonderful sound of Stars and Stripes Forever, which could only be one of two people: Missy Mae Walters or my spifilicious friend Elizabeth Alvarez (the one that has left several of my hairs a lovely shade of grey this semester) and on this wonderful evening, there is no exception.

After Nine o' Clock service, proceed to return to my dorm (after long conversations with friends and walking back in the rain from Gardner), then I recieve the call of DOOM!!! I assumed that Lizz would be asking me for the keys to the SA Office because she gave them to me to lock up after the Sophomore Senators were meeting to select our Sing Song Director. However, I also come to the realization of whom I am speaking to. It had come to my attention that Lizz was walking in the COLD and RAINING weather of Abilene. I become most upset with Elizabeth for she frequently complains about the cold in Abilene (even when it is 75 degrees outside). Remembering that Elizabeth is from McAllen, Texas (where the concept of cold and wet are not to be used in the same sentence according to the people of McAllen) she is probably freezing to death.

She tells me that she is at the Administration building, and I tell her to walk to someplace warm. She then proceeds to tell me that she can make it to Edwards. I reluctantly agree. When she arrived at Edwards lobby, she was cold, wet, and freezing by all measure. At this point, I am most upset with her for willingly putting herself into such a position where she would freeze to death. I tell her to stay right were she was for me to grab my coat and keys. I then take her back to her appartment where I tell her that I am most upset with her and shouting patriarchial comments to her [ and by patriarchical i mean comments that start with "woman!!" and end with things like "and i'm minding my own business in my room and you go scurrying off outside alone without so much as a phone call! This is unacceptable!"]. I am enjoying every minute of it because she knows I'm upset with her and she probably deserved a few of them. She thought that she could put all the blame on me by contacting my Grandbrother in Club, Jeremy Gordon, but I managed to get a hold of him first. I leave a message, but he calls me back while I am doing laundry. He then gives me the idea of grounding her, so then she calls me back, and I proceed to punish her. She then tells me who she was with: Jeremy Pond (the Mabee Representative). After I get off the phone with Lizz, I call Mr. Pond and proceed to tell him that walking with a lady (who is from McAllen) in the COLD RAIN is not appropriate for a gentleman to do. After letting Jeremy off with a stern warning, I hang up the phone and proceed to go to sleep. The moral of this story is that Elizabeth is not to be out in the freezing cold or I get to ground her!!! HEHEHEHEHE!!! I am having fun, and so will Josh Massingill this weekend as he gets to be my enforcer while she is in Minnesota. She is grounded from the following:

1. No iPOD
2. No being out in the cold
3. No Law and Order
4. No Smallville (oh wait, that only applies to me)
5. No shows on the recently recieved Warner Brothers Network
6. No CNN, MSNBC, CBS (also known as UBS News thanks to Dan Rather) only Fox News
7. No Candy (which means no Skittles) only pepperments are allowed for her sickness
8. No Tacos (toooooo bad!!!)
9. No other events except to see Michael Reagan and Debate Lab (only because of the Tournament and the fact that the son of Ronald Reagan never comes to Abilene)

If there is anything else that one feels that Lizz should be grounded from (perhaps you can fill me in Mr. Alvarez) please post in this blog.

Ciao
