The Mis-fit adventures of Bubbles

Hello all...

So it's winter break and there's not a lot of action going on with a lot of the F15 members because they are sadly not all together... but as a visitor of this blog I just want to say that I can't wait to see all of them again in the spring and officially meet the ENTIRE crew. I miss all you guys and your craziness :-)

But, part of the F15 crew got an early visit... well, kind of a visit, and kind of last minute decision to go Christmas shopping, but it was an adventure to say the least. It started out with a 45 min/1 hour drive for two separate cars, which ended in taking 25 minutes to find a parking spot for one one bubbly guy in green and resulted in buying something out of boredom for one rowdy girl in red. Throughout the amazing day spent at the Woodfield Mall, random songs were busted out while various Christmas carols were playing in the numerous stores that were visited. Countless shoe stores were visited by Bubbles, but luckily no more shoes were purchased- probably good since I think Bubbles has more shoes than I do...

Christmas shopping was the point of the trip, but it turned out that the bubbly and rowdy combination wasn't that great at focusing on the task at hand. At one particular store 4 songs in a row played that were all of course Christmas carols and all of which Bubbles had experienced on the F15's fabulous trip before their tour. So after a long 4 hours of shopping, Rowdy and Bubbles decided that it was time to grab some grub. Red Robin was the choice and it was absolutely delicious. Dinner was filled with laughter and text messages to one particular J-Lynn that led to some confusion that was cleared up by a phone call. Talks of visiting HoFlo continued after getting off the phone with J-Lynn and both parties are excited for a night of partying, although it will be sad that we'll be missing some of our favorite F15 members, but that will be different when the misfitted gang comes to visit NU in the spring.. and don't worry... that IS happening. I don't think that Mallory can go much longer without seeing Rocktapus , and seeing that all of us can't stop talking about how much we love you guys... just get ready for a weekend of crazy girls in red and black sometime in the spring.

Departing was such sweet sorrow, but we knew that we'd be reunited with some friends- new and old- soon in HoFlo. The bubbly guy in green's phone died shortly before leaving and decided that he needed to get home so that he could party for the night, so we separated the bags and made sure that the yellow sweater and the ugly blue polo were not mistaken and goodbye's were said and we went our separate ways... that's where one Rowdy adventure began. 

I went to my car with a full bag in -5 degree weather. 'click-click-click' I'm trying to unlock my car with the automatic thingy on my keychain, but no such luck... 'maybe it's not working' I think to myself. Nope... it's dead. Yes. My car is dead and it's freezing. I run back inside and find a security guard to find a tow man to drive me to my car (creepy) and listen to him bitch the entire way about 'stupid ass people' that have been needing his help all night-- thanks dude, apparently I'm one of those people. So I get the car started and then realize... I have no gas. Apparently Woodfield doesn't believe in gas stations. After 40 minutes my car is about ready to punch me rowdily in the face, but I make it to a gas station, just in time.

Bubbles calls after charging his phone and gets to hear the whole story. I get off the phone and get to listen to 45 minutes of amazing F15 a cappella music to put me in a better mood. Chariot, I'll make a man out of you, and Who Loves You are the prime picks for the ride home. I ponder the F15 visit to our school and realize that you guys are pretty much some of the best people we've gotten to meet this year. Now I'll leave you guys will holiday wishes and with high hopes of getting to see all your beautiful faces again. More misfitted adventures need to happen with the fabulous guys of F15 and it better be soon :-)

Love you boys and miss you! Happy Holidays-

Rowdy
