Sad and Confused…

So, I feel a bit gipped (or is it gypped?  Does it really matter? no…).

I remember writing on this site about… hmmm… 4 years ago.  At the time, I was doing the kind of diary circle.  There were about 5 or 6 of us and one of us would pick a topic, write about it, then the other would expound on it (thus changing the subject somewhere down the line).  It was great!  Some of the funnier things I’ve seen/written came out of that.

I think I had over 200 entries.  Well, I left it for awhile and when I came back, it was gone.  A lot of good memories were in there.  Granted, I don’t blame Open Diary, but I wish it wasn’t gone.

Also, some of the best parts about the circle of us was the notes we left each other.  Now, this is only my 6th entry (maybe 7th) and I’ve only gotten one note.  I was saddened.  lol

Oh well.  No worries, I’ll live.

Okay – topic for the day:  I live in a dorm (as I have stated before).  Now my dorm is different than all the other dorms.  On my campus we have 10 dorms, and all of the dorms have roommates (in one way or another) except mine.  Now for these 9 dorms, each person pays Hall Dues so they can participate in activities that are put together by the RAs (Resident Assistants).  With the exception of 1 dorm, the other 8 have one RA on each wing, leaving anywhere from 6 to 18 RAs in a building.

My dorm however has 2.  All the residents in my dorm live by themselves (no roommates).  Also, we don’t have Hall Dues, which means the only money we get is a small amount from the Residential Life Department of our School.

So the Hall president and I have been trying to come up with ideas for raising money (we’re trying to do some really cool stuff in our dorm!).

First idea: Date auction – For spring formal, we auction of bachelors (and bachelorettes) to people who want a date to go to spring formal.  Could get some really good money.

Second idea: Calender – Featuring residents (female and male) in provocative poses or personality pictures.  Not a bad idea.  Expense would be in producing the calenders.

Third idea: Cabaret! – Several people in my dorm are music majors (including myself).  We have a stand up comic as well as a magician.  We could have an outstanding nightshow put together.  Serve everyone a light dinner, a little song, a little dance and boom, money.  🙂  Relative low cost I would think.

So what do you think?  Any of the idea spark your interest?  If so, leave me note with your thoughts!  🙂

Well, its time for bed.  Sleep well all.
