Wow, I feel like a slut compared to all you who have only kissed 1 or 2 people.
I miss it to an extent. But mostly I miss being able to stay out all night at some guys house, come home to my own apartment, sleep all day and just do nothing.
Minus "some guys house" I completely agree. I miss the days in college just going out: bar, house party, whatever, and just doing nothing the next day but order pizza or chinese and watch movies all day.
I'm really over the friend who thinks everything she does with her kid is "homeschooling".
She did a massive group text this morning saying "[Daughter] got a new desk and she was so excited about doing school [thats what she calls it--"doing school"], she didn't even eat breakfast before getting her school supplies out!"
Picture was of her kid finger painting on a kid table.
I mean...really? Shit, if I called everything I did with my kid "schooling" then she's be out of college before she was 6! Learning to button? Schooling. Brushing you teeth? Schooling. Spelling your name? Schooling. How about calling it "being a responsible parent"?!

Oh lord I miss getting up whenever the heck I rolled out of bed to make some nachos and call my girlfriend to get the lowdown on what the hell I actually did the night before as we laugh our butts off. I kissed lots of boys but was still sort of a prude. I married at 38 so.....that's a lotta years is all I'm saying. I just got to see a lot over many many years.

Ah mightybee I loved power hour! So fun. Some of our guy friends would make awesome mix CDs with 1 min clips of songs/TV show themes/ college fight songs & every time the song changed you drank. So fun. We played Edward 40 hands a lot too - ever do that one?

Never did that one. We did a lot of beer bongs, shot gunning, and beer pong. Or just took shots in our room before going out. Ick...I can't even think about vodka now. Once we did a shot called motor oil...I think it was to use up whatever we had around. Jaeger, peppermint schnapps, Goldschlager, and Malibu. Omg, I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.

Lol. I was a prude and didn't party much in college, but I think I'm good with that. Going from community college straight to pharmacy school limited my party time.
I have never played beer pong and don't know the rules.
I too was a free kisser except I didn't kiss girls, only guys for me.
I got married later in life (33) and am often nostalgic about getting to do whatever I want on a weekend. I wouldn't trade DH or JA but I do miss days of waking up, lounging around watching trash TV, going to the gym and basically relaxing on the weekend versus doing grown up shit like chores (which multiplied greatly with adding these fellas), or having to deal with feeding/entertaining/supervising these fellas, watching Disney or golf on TV, and answering 4 million questions... I would like it if DH and JA could go together to spend the night off one Friday night a month. I could be in my house alone, all day on a Saturday... Ahhh
I would be happy to see them but happy at "me" time. I never had a roommate until DH. I miss the quiet, me time.

Did anyone else play slap the bag? You take the wine bag out of the Franzia box, open the plugger over your mouth and someone slaps the bag so it all rushes in? Best game ever. That should be brought up at the next gtg.
We played a lit of quarters and 'Presidents and Assholes' in college. I think I played beer pong once, maybe twice... There was another we did a lot but I can't think of it right now.

So I read through this thread before I went to bed and I'm going to blame J12 and all this kissing talk for the very weird dream I had about making out with my BIL. Ew.

Yes! These were our main drinking games too.. along with "never have I ever". I am not sure beer pong was such a big thing in 1995 when I started college. Ahhh, memories... lol

trixi282 was Presidents and Assholes with a deck of cards and all the cards had a different rule (like question master, rhyme time, etc)? I liked that game a lot but could NEVER remember all the stupid rules

We played Presidents and Assholes all the time too! I don't remember how someone became what, but I do remember president could make a rule and asshole has to clear all the cards and get everyone drinks. Didn't it have to do with matching 3 of a kind or a run of three?
Yeah, cookiesandwine, there were always a ton of rules and it was hard to follow... Which is why everyone got so drunk playing it! I don't think I ever truly figured that game out....
I took advantage of daylight savings and bumped up Emery's OK to wake clock back to 7am. It was at 6:30. She normally wakes anywhere from 5:30-6. Unfortunately so does Nora >_< Why do my kids hate sleeping in?! At least I can stagger them now.
This is not J12 related but I'm kicking myself for letting H have a turn and naming Nora Nora. Nora is pretty but plain and docile and she's much more of a crazy Marlow. I knew I should have stuck to my guns. 4 months later I'm regretting it but it's too late to go back and change it now. I really feel like her name doesn't fit her.

The nora I know IRL is definitely not plain. She is the life of the party and a little crazy. I do love Marlow as well though. I can't imagine being a teacher. My teacher friends have a small list to choose names from since they always remind them of past students.

Yes! I have a friend who does this as well. Her mom watches her kid and she talks about how much "schooling" they do. I just laugh because I am like yeah, that is the normal/minimum amount they would get in DC.

I know a Nora IRL, she's almost 4 and super spunky and fun. I don't think Nora is a plain, docile name!
FWIW, I follow a blogger who had twins, she named one Maeve and then decided when she was a few months old that the name didn't suit her at all and changed her name to Emmeline. In my state I think you can change a baby's name up to 1 year old without any court proceedings or anything like that. If it's really bothering you, it might be worth looking into.

All of this. I like Nora but if you truly don't feel that it fits her could you talk to your H about changing it? Moving Nora to her middle name? FYI I love Marlow & have now added it to my baby name list....
