We Like Us . . . the sequel

Some of you may remember the greatness that was apartment 154 of the Glenwood. We had a lot of love for each other in that apartment, and it wasn't unusual for us to tell each other we loved each other and we loved "us" as a unit. During the time that my roommates and I lived there, we were voted "best apartment to hang out in," we started a group called "We Like Us," we called ourselves "The Hottest Thing Since Soup," and as far as I know, our mural to ourselves is still in the hall. Never, I thought as I moved out, would there be another apartment of girls so full of themselves . . . collectively.
Some examples of how full of ourselves we were from our quote wall:

You guys are pretty awesome, let’s be honest. –Lindsey

You have a definite lack of suckiness. –Megan

Mandy: I think you’d be hotter than them.
Whitney: Oh, I would be.

Miri: Megan, I like you a lot.
Megan: Well, I can’t blame you. I’m great.

Megan: He probably just realized how much he misses us.
Miri: Yeah... probably.
Megan: That's probably what everyone realized tonight, not just him. Haha... just kidding.
Miri: No you're not, you liar.
Megan: You're right... I'm not.

I assure you this is not a complete record of the pompous things we've said over the years.


I thought those days were gone once I moved away from Jennie and Miri, but since I live with Whitney "Hot and Spicy" Roberts and since Lindsey is back, I wouldn't have been particularly surprised to see some isolated incidents of self-importance. However, the other day after church we were all in the kitchen making lunch:

Torie: "I'm glad all of us are so attractive."

So true. The spirit of 154 lives on in 121. We also have our own gang sign, call each other things Whitney has taught us in old high German. ("We call each other "uuinni," which is pronounced "weenie" and means "friend," which is fun because we all call each other "weenies." Really.)



Long live us and the Zion that comes from thinking we're all awesome.
