ANTS INVASION

"Does anybody know how to kill ants? I know this is not a question for a trainee blog, but in 36-c it seems that ants are coming to our house for internships...they are everywhere: in eggs, my cornflakes, my bed...

The other day, Jean prepared lunch for me. When I was about to eat it, I found small, crunchy bodies next to my carrots and mashed potatoes...gross!!

I tried to kill them once, but that didn't work. They kept coming at my shoes. Then Florian put them on the stove and turned on the gas...ever had crunchy ants?

So now, if you have, or have had, an ant problem in your house, we would love to hear your ideas on how to get rid of the damn things. How do we stop this invasion?

Does anyone want to join?

Nacho and I are going to try to start this blog up again. It may not be the best way to inform people about parties, etc., but I think it's a great way to just communicate about various things...anything. We don't get to see each other all that often (especially those in sector Nepal and sector Pakistan), so why not use this just to have a discussion about whatever you feel like talking about. For all of you that are leaving, or have left, it's a great way to keep in touch with the people that are here. If you want to join, just send me an email (lazylegend@hotmail.com) and I can make it happen.

I know most of you have time at work just to browse the blog and maybe even post if you want, so don't give me the excuse of having no time.

Pimps & Hoes Party Update

Howdy y'all,

If, and I mean IF, we have a house by this upcoming tuesday, we will be holding the much anticipated pimps & hoes party. We will keep you posted regarding the status of our housing situation.

Just a couple points of clarification. A "Ho" is the short, or "polite" form of the word "whore," which is the durogatory form of the word "prostitute." So, all we're looking for from you girls is a little imagination. Don't go against your morals, i.e. don't wear a see-through shirt with nothing underneath if you don't feel comfortable. Just wear what your comfortable wearing, and add some sluttyness to it. A popular choice might be short skirts or low-cut shirts. But a lot of it is in the face...lipstick and eye shadow in particular. Go to sector 22 if you don't have anything good to wear. I hope that helps. But please email me (lazylegend@hotmail.com) if you have any questions. As well, Willemijn will be able to help you once you get to our house.

For all you pimps. It's all about jewelery and lookin sleazy. Eastern european and french pimps gotta look sleazy, german pimps gotta look trashy, and canadian pimps (well, there really isn't such a thing as a canadian pimp) gotta look umm...smooth, i guess. Go get some gold chains, pinky rings, bracelets, earrings at sector 22 or at a store in sector 11 called "jewels" (i think that's the name).

Well...let's hope we have a house to party in on tuesday.

No Party

Hey Guys,

Due to a very unfortunate situation, there will not be a party tonight. We are being forced out of the house tonight and weren't informed until yesterday. Don't worry though....the new house has to be christened, so there will be a party soon. We will keep you posted.

At least you'll all have time to get sweet costumes...I know I'm gonna be pimpin'.

Where's the party? IMPORTANT! TELL EVERYONE!

I'll take it by the lack of response to the previous post, that not many people are reading this blog. In case you are reading it, we are having a big party on wednesday (aug 3) night to celebabrate us (the mani majra crowd) leaving the house for a bigger one. That's right MHA is moving locations. More on that later though.

There is one special thing about the party on wednesday, and it involves the theme:


PIMPS AND HOES is the theme. I hope this doesn't offend anyone, but the goal is for guys to dress up like a pimp would in their country and for girls to dress up like hoes would in their country. I guess guys could dress like hoes and girls like pimps, but do any of us really want to see a guy in drag?

The goal is to be imaginative and this theme is not meant to be offensive. Have fun with it and wear something tacky. For all you potential hoes, Willemijn will help you with your outfit if you're not sure what to do. One hint, bright red lipstick smeared on your lips and some eye shadow running down your cheek. All you pimps, there may or may not be a Serbian wearing a track suit (apparently serbian pimps wear track suits), so there's an example. But like I said, use your imagination.

We're also planning to do a Mr and Mrs. Trainee contest based on best costumes and such. Not sure what the prize is, but it'll probably involve alcohol.

If you have any questions, call Kent (i wish I knew my number) or Salvador (who doesn't know his number) or anyone else at our house.
