Double posts are annoying. But triple posts are awesome?

On a serious note? I'm sorry for the spam. But this story kind of had to be told.

So tonight at Brandeis, there was this major party called Pachanga. It's apparantly a huge deal, you have to buy tickets to get in, tickets are limited, they let in people from outside of Brandeis and everything. It's a pretty big thing.

I didn't go. Instead, I spent the majority of my evening playing Sims 3 with my friends, where we made sims of ourselves, ourselves but blue with strange hair and clothes, ourselves as a mermaid, and/or Sebastian Michaelis. (...There was only one Sebastian. He was mine. Does this really surprise anyone?  XD  It was kind of awesome though- he and my sim totally hit it off. Naturally too- I barely even had to interfere!) I do not regret my actions. I had an awesome time.

At around midnight, I ended up coming back to my dorm since my friends wanted to sleep/realized last minute that they needed to start their homework technically before Sunday.

So I came back, screwed around on the internet a little bit, felt badly and kinda lonely since I wasn't at Hetalia Day, then fangasmed over how my Pandora channel gave me the theme from Star Trek: First Contact, and decided to go watch an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation online.

I wasn't even halfway through that when one of my roommates bursts through the door, with a guy. She points him towards the bedroom room of our triple, and I ask her if she'd rather I go to the lounge for now. She tells me that "no, that won't be at all necessary." So I go back to my Star Trek.

I never ended up finishing that, as other people eventually started going in and out of my rooms. (It's a shame too- The Schizoid Man is one of my favorite episodes, and damn, Brent Spiner can act.) But the other room had gone quiet, and dark. And I just figured that my roommate's friend had left while I was watching, and she had gone to sleep. Well. Whatever- it's not so much my issue.

But then some close friends of my roommates' came in, went into the other room to get/borrow some clothes, and then came back out and asked me where I was going to sleep. I looked up at her in confusion. And then, and I regret not remembering exactly what she said, but she asked me something to the effect of if I'd been "sexiled." Apparantly, my roommate and her guy friend had gone to sleep in the other room. They didn't have sex, because I'd have heard it, but they were sleeping with each other in the most literal sense of the phrase... so maybe, if I possibly could, tonight would be a good night to sleep somewhere else.

And what have I taken away from tonight?

That "sexiled" is a really fun word to say.

I don't think I'm taking the right lesson from this situation. But who cares. Sexiled. It's fantastic.

Oh, and my other roommate needs to get back soon so I can know whether or not it's appropriate for me to go in to sleep in my own bed... even though my first roommate is asleep in there with a guy. Yay awkward situations?

ETA: So a friend of mine has a dingle (it's a double, but she has no roommate) so I'm sleeping in her room tonight. But tonight isn't really the right word, as it's 5 in the morning. She had to do homework, and I can't sleep with a light on so I just stayed up... long story short, it's 5 in the morning. I just finished reading 60 full pages of MLIA (no, I'm not exaggerating) and I may have to walk across campus to go check up on another friend. Oh, college.  -_-

lol. I never did the college thing. But getting kicked outta your room. . BOO HISS BOO.

[arthoniel.livejournal.com]

...Yeah, pretty much.

[rapturesmusic.livejournal.com]

It's situations like this that deterred me from going away to college.

Sexiled is a fun word, though. =D

Well, I'd like to point out that this is nowhere near the norm- this is the single biggest party night at Brandeis. This is not at all something that happens on a regular basis.

But it IS just such an AWESOME word!! XD

"pachanga" is a really Mexico-City coloquial way of saying "party"

...

and that's the end of my comment...

[arthoniel.livejournal.com]

Wow, really? That's pretty cool- I didn't know that!

[engelen.livejournal.com]

now you know :D
a HUGE party would be a "pachangón"
(but my peeps and I don't use those words, unless we're joking... they're more common to Mexico City or... my parenst, LOL)

[arthoniel.livejournal.com]

Wow, that's really pretty cool! I should bring that up in my Spanish class at some point, and see if my professor knows it. XD

[engelen.livejournal.com]

LOL, fo'sho!
If you ever come to Mexico and say you're going to a "pachanga" with a serious face/tone, we'll assume you learned with material from the 70's or 80's XD
We normally say we're going to a "fiesta" or a "peda" (when lots of alcohol is involved, it's kind of like the equivalent of a kegger, even if there's no keg... also, it's a very vulgar way of calling a party, so I'd go with "fiesta" at all times to avoid people thinking you're rude :P)

[arthoniel.livejournal.com]

Yeah... the term I'd always learned in class was "fiesta", but... it's still interesting to know!

...I bet none of the people who had to be taken to the hospital on the night of the party due to alcohol abuse knew what it meant. ^_^;;
