2006.1

Swedish Fish on Ceiling

Back in 06.1, I didn't have a roommate, so we would play Risk on my extra bed, and spend most of our down time in there. My room sort of acted as our hall's lounge, as first floor Rosecrans doesn't have one. One day while we were playing, a kid came in with a swedish fish he had found on the ground in our hall, and started throwing it onto the ceiling. It would cling there for a little while, and then fall down. One kid, however, decided to use a Pringle's can to crush it into the ceiling while it was clinging there. The stain from the swedish fish is still there. -The_Council

2007.1

Dana's Hall: The Foot Injuries

It all began with one girl having a little blister, that summer at CTY. Being the first, she suffered only minor discomfort. But soon, foot injuries would be all too common in Dana's Hall, which had all of the girls from the Logic Class. The second girl, Lilly, had received terrible blisters covering the entire bottom of both her feet, while running on pavement. One night, the hall was disturbed by the scream, "Has anyone ever had blisters because I think that mine are about to AAAAAUGH!" Several layers of Lilly's skin had become completely detatched from her foot. That night was crazed with the Dean stopping by, and the emergency workers attempting to choose what to do. The following morning, Lilly was offering the bottoms of her feet to people in a plastic bag.

The third person to be hurt was Lucy, also known as Lulu the Destroyer. She was walking across Sunken Gardens when she experienced a sharp pain in her foot, she described it as being "like having a knife shoved into my foot," at the time. Lucy was wheelchair bound when next we saw her, at dinner. She remained in the wheelchair for the entire session, occasionally moving to crutches for stairs, and near the end of the last week. It was discovered in the last week that she had, in fact, broken a bone. Lucy was best known for beating up people who laughed at her wheelchair, by wheeling at them and hitting them with her crutches.

The rest of the girls in the hall, at the end of the first week, were afraid that the foot injuries would become only worse, and took preventative measures in the form of innoculations of sorts. Those who had run their feet over with doors were safe, and several others, including myself, stepped on each other's feet with the purpose of saving their feet from annihilation, due to the curse. -Pink Lizzy

2008 (formerly titled 2008.1, but there are mentions of things that happened during 08.2 in here.... for example, earthquake.)

Jason in the Universe

In 08.1, a group of tradition-importers began a game of Silent Football, during Hydrophilia Day. Though normally a game of Silent Football is awesome, it was made even more so when Jason Boring suddenly requested to play. All of the rules were explained to Jason by hyper CTYers. Though he broke many rules, and banned a few of them, it was agreed by most of the people present that it was something special to have had Jason Boring pass through the Universe. For any of you who wanted to know, Jason Boring has officially banned licking as a form of jihad. -Pink Lizzy

It's the End of the World in Crutches

Sure, people at CTY LMU are often in crutches. Intellect and klutziness seem to go hand-in-hand. Most people in crutches simply feel left out during "It's the End of the World as we Know It." But that isn't the case for one ambitious CTYer. At one of the dances, running in quick circles, several CTY students noticed a person on crutches walking around in circles as fast as they could. This simple expression of love for CTY shows the best in a CTYer- this student never gave up on the things they loved about CTY. -Pink Lizzy

Margaradia

During a game of silent football, Mr. Dictator (Dex) mispronounced something and attempted to avoid penance points by claiming he was from Canada. Lizzy H. subsequently asked what "canada" was, since it was not part of the universe. I happened to be wearing a shirt that had a map of the earth on it, so Dex pointed out that canada was on my shirt. This led to a discussion about him living on my shirt, during which canada became renamed Margaradia. - (Maggie G.)

The Flyswatters

I remember that everybody asked us [Emmatheduck (purple), Chelsea (orange) & Katie (yellow) L., Allegra (orange, although originally, the purple one was hers and nobody else had one), and Lyra (pink) -Lyra] where we got the flyswatters [Ralphs, btw -Lyra], why we had flyswatters, or something along the lines of that... Soon, the story of the flyswatters was forgotten, even by the people that carried them. They were originally fairy wands, but soon became devices of torture, pokeage and, at Casino Night, a source of valuable money. I remember that when people asked me about the flyswatters, I first answered with my oft-used "It's Complicated," but soon just started saying "Why don't YOU have a flyswatter?" Eventually, pieces started breaking off of many of our group's swatters, and we attached them to our lanyards. Hopefully, they come back last year. -Allegra
(Basically, we had gotten a bunch of flyswatters on the first Saturday, and carried them around campus for the rest of the session, to other campers' confusion. -Chelsea (orangecellocase))

Marching

Sam was a good RA, except for his...fetish toward giving us early lights out. So I remember one time he made us a deal; we could have either 45 minutes earlier lights out, or we could have what was behind "Curtain Number 2". So of course, being the oh so curious and oh so stupid kids we were, we picked "Curtain Number Two", which turned out to be no Social Time. So we argued and argued, and finally, he told us to follow him, and he led us to Social Time. Somewhere along the way, we began to march in a single file line, and I guess he liked that idea. So we gave the entire CTY population a nice military performance, in which several people asked us what we were doing, and others just cheered. Ah, Good memories... --Tryst

Selling Blammo spoon

On Casino Night, I remember I was talking to some staff members, trying to get them to give me a job so I could earn some money, and one of them (the academic dean's husband) asked me why I was carrying a spoon with me. I explained to him about Blammo. At this point in the game (I lose), only two people (another girl and I) were still in Blammo. The academic dean's husband then offered to buy the spoon from me, and told me to name a price. I had already managed to win a Blammo game, so I figured I didn't really need to win again. $500, I told him, and he paid readily. So I walked away, positively giddy because I'd just made $500 without doing basically anything. He later even gave me back my spoon, for free, and I managed to tie the Blammo game. --Chelsea (orangecellocase)

Casino Night Mob

Also on Casino Night, Dane the RA offered a whole bunch of students $50 each if they all would storm the VIP Lounge. A earlier mob, egged on by Dane, had already stormed the jail and set everyone in it free, and we were all eager to earn some more money. So a MASSIVE amount of people gathered in a corner of the courtyard, and at a signal, charged, yelling, towards the VIP Lounge stairs. A few people valiantly tried to defend the staircase, but the mob was too thick. The leaders of the mob managed to get past them and would have continued up, had Jason not appeared, looking furious. A large number of people ended up in jail that night. --Chelsea

EARTHQUAKE!

It was second Tuesday, also known as Black Tuesday, when unfortunate occurences were rumored to happen. At EXACTLY 11:42, everyone was in class. Everything seemed normal, until the ground started swaying somewhat insistently. Some people were confused as to what was happening, and several classes got under their desks. In about 2 minutes, though, the buildings stopped moving, and classes went out to lunch, excitedly discussing this new event. Some people even thought it was fun. Later, we learned that it was a magnitude 5.4 earthquake with its epicenter near Chino Hills, about 50 miles away from LMU. Emma suggested that it was the end of the world as we know it, citing the line "That's great, it starts with an earthquake," and refused to go out that social time. --Chelsea

I did not. It was Second Thursday I refused to go to social time, and only because I was busy contemplating the meaning of life. --Emma

The Daneroll!

It was Bananaphone appreciation. we were walking off to the soccer field to harass the activity that was next [Ronaldo's kids] when someone mentioned Rick Astley. When someone mentioned the Rickroll, Dane started singing the song. After much begging/coaxing/whining/screaming, he sang the song again, which was [thankfully] caught on tape by Emma Manning ( http://s223.photobucket.com/albums/dd209/emmatheduck/?action=view&current=de6e2f53.pbr ). However, because this was the second time he sang the song, he was impatient, so the lyrics were a bit different than the original. The first verse was completely normal, but when he got to the chorus, this was what was said:

"Never gonna sennh enhh uhh [jibberish]

Never gonna punch your face

Never gonna...declare a fatwa, or something.

Never gonna say jihad,

Never gonna say goodbye.

Never gonna [Jackie/Allegra C. said:] 'say HI DANE!' [meanwhile, dane said:] tell a lie,and punch you!"


It was possibly the greatest moment i had ever experienced. --Allegra/Jackie
