The Ultimate Showdown

As promised... here are the results of The Ultimate Showdown:

Marci: 2
Brendan: 1

That's right family... you have the coolest little sister in the world!

I'll admit. Brendan actually won the pizza eating part of our contest, but I dominated in both other contests, so on Monday he will be wearing a shirt that says "I Lost a Pizza Eating Contest to Marci Krumperman."

I don't have pictures yet, but I wanted the world to know! I am the champion of the Ultimate Showdown

Training

In preparation for my upcoming Contracted Competition Extravaganza, Christie filmed my training session. This was my wardrobe... Our training was running up and down the RB stairs. I will never be able to look at them the same again. I have no clue how many times I ran up and down those bad boys!
You can't tell from the shirt in these pics, but the back says UNLEASH THE BEAST. You'll see that better in the video when I get it posted.
A close up of my face. Yes. This is after the training. I'm now ready for a hardcore nap! I love my roommates!!!


In a short 21 hours this competition will be well underway and in about 24 hours you should know the results (if you check my blog atleast). I'm getting pumped.

The Contracted Competition Extravaganza

For weeks (seriously, since the Saturday before we started school) I've been talking with Brendan about having a pizza eating contest (sort of like what I did at EFY last year...). We finally have it planned. It's an official event now. Tshirts will be made as soon as we get to Walmart to buy the white shirts & the iron-on transfer paper. (the above image will be on the shirt) I'm stoked. Last night we had a stake fireside and Brendan & Nickolai came over afterwards to finalize all the plans for our competition, here is a brief description of what will occur:

The Case of Representatives from 204 and 215

A Pizza Consuming competition which will be judged on the following criteria:-the individual must consume more slices of pizza than werfs competitor in the timeframe of 15 minutes-a slice of pizza is defined as 1/8 of a medium pepperoni pizza not including the crust which will be used for measuring purposes.

3. The penalty shall be carried out throughout the day of Monday, October 1st, 2007.

I'm pretty stoked for this. We typed it all up officially, this is just a brief rundown of it. We signed it, had witness sign it, and will have this contest videotaped. I'm superly excited!

My Hiking Buddies

Left to Right:
Brendan Coutu, ME, Christie, Brendan Bresnan, Nathan, Kelli, Allison & Jenny.

Nickolai was taking the picture. This is pretty much my group. But normally Nathan is at work or hanging out with their FHE girls.

Make sure you look at the last few posts as well.. I know some of you just check the most recent one and don't bother scrolling down, but we have some good shots in their!

Hiking the Y

Alright. Left to right... Kelli, Christie, Me. Yes. We are licking the Y. We were pretty much hardcore. There isn't a picture, but I also ate an ant on the Y. I think that eating ants will be our signature mark... atleast when we're with Nickolai and Brendan. We're pretty much awesome. Christie is my actual roommate, and Kelli is in the next room over. Love these girls! Our whole group... making a Y on the Y. I'm the top left, then is Brendan Bresnan (not the Brendan normally mentioned, but he's way cool too). Top right sitting is Christie and below her is Jenny. Then Nickolai, Nathan, and at the bottom is Brendan Coutu (the Brendan normally mentioned). Standing up is Allison. She was on the phone and didn't quite make it into our Y. Kelli took the picture.

I'll have a better group picture, but the boys took those and they haven't uploaded their pictures yet, dang them!

I highly recommend eating a good breakfast and remembering to take your iron pill, especially if you have anemia. That made the hike up a little interesting. Luckily, Brendan Bresnan is super sweet and wore my backpack for me, and when I had to stop and eat my granola bar he stopped with me and was talking to me. Barely knew him before today! The run down the mountain was REALLY FUN! We galloped and jogged, and high-fived lots of people that were on their way up.

The girls in 215 and the boys in 204 definitely know how to have a good time! I'm really glad that they aren't our FHE group. It wouldn't be as fun to hang out with them if some of the time it was a forced activity. Love those boys!

More pictures to come... as soon as Nickolai sends the pictures over! Love you all!

Random times in room 215

Brendan & Nickolai came over today... well, they come over everyday. They basically live here. Anywho, today they came over to tell us that they had to eat ants for Biology homework. They were telling us all about it and how they tasted and such. So, Brendan asked me if I'd try an ant. I said sure, why not! So then he yelled to Kelli to see if she'd eat one too (she was in her room, which is why he yelled). She agreed too since I said I'd eat one. Here I am, with an ant on my tongue. You can't see it, but I promise.. there was an ant there. I laughed at Brendan & Nickolai since they had to eat ants for homework, but then they laughed at me because I ate ants for fun. I think I ended up eating 4 ants. Not too bad :D Kelli's brother took us to Walmart on Saturday. We found these yellow ponchos and decided that we couldn't go home without them. So, even though the weather was nice, we decided to put them on and try them outside. They didn't protect us from the weather, but people did notice us, which was pretty funny. Brendan & Nickolai saw us through their kitchen window and laughed. I guess they weren't too surprised to see me and Kelli wearing yellow ponchos and dancing up on the little ledge by our building. Hmmm, good times.

I keep bringing up Brendan & Nickolai. They're pretty cool guys, the guys from 204. We're hiking the Y with them tomorrow morning and I'll get pictures of them then and post them on here so that you see what they look like. Maybe I'll also get a picture of Brian & Caleb... Caleb is my (our) second cousin once removed. He's in my ward and lives right above our FHE brothers. I'll also have to get some pictures of them this week so you can see my amazingly hilarious FHE brothers.

We put sticky notes all over their front door today... with pick up lines and other funny sayings. We thought nobody was home, but apparently Troy was watching us through their peep hole the entire time. As soon as we left, he and two others came out and started reading them. If Brendan ever sends me the picture I took on his phone I'll get a picture of their door up here. Gotta love all our boys!

I Know You've Been Waiting!

Here's my side of our walk in closet. It's fun having a walk in closet. I absolutely love it!!!

Here's my side of the room! You can see that I make my bed (almost daily) and there's Val's quilt! My dresser is organized, and the shelf above my bed is pretty neat.
I'm the right side of the desk. There we have my laptop (love it!), printer, and my To Do List. I have lots to do this weekend, including: church, hall meeting, ward prayer, CES fireside, Heritage House Rock party, grocery shopping, hanging out with Tyler (did that yesterday though), and going to breakfast with the guys in 204. Oh, and I've also got like 7 chapters of textbooks to read. haha

The top of my walk-in closet. Sweatshirts, Games, Towels... Apples to Apples is the one game we've played so far, and it was a huge hit. That was how we got to know our FHE bros.

So, I don't think I've ever tried to post multiple pictures at once, and I definitely didn't realize what order I needed to put them so that it would make sense. Oh well. Now you can see at least what MY half of the dorm looks like. My roommates aren't all home right now otherwise I'd get some pics of the 6 of us, and when we take an FHE Family picture I'll post those too. Next Saturady I think we're hiking to the Y, so I'll get pics of us and the boys of 204.

Now I need to study... I've got a PARTY in a few hours! HOLLER!

I'm in need of some SERIOUS HELP!

Hey guys, I'm desperate here.

My roommates and I are looking for some idea of pranks we could pull, mostly on our FHE brothers. Our first FHE was a little (read as REALLY) rough and we want them to see that they can be themselves with us and have a little fun.

We have access to the back door of their building that leads into their kitchen... We can also get into the front door, piece of cake.

We have a roll of caution tape (thank you dad for having random things in the garage and not noticing when mom said I could take it :D) and we want that tape to be our signature mark when we do pranks.

Any suggestions?
