Flyer News: How is life on 116 Lawnview treating you?

Julie Ramaccia: Super duper. It's the best location in the Ghetto.

Elise Balaj: I love our cute little red house.

Tracey Horan: And the white trim. A true UD house. It has country charm.



FN: What should everyone know about you or your house?



Grace Rodney: We like themed

things, such as parties and Halloween costumes.



FN: What kind of theme parties and cosumes have you had?

GR: A luau.

EB: A tacky sweater Christmas party. A patriotic party when Julie left to go to Washington, D.C.

GR: A Mardi Gras party.

TH: Body builder and aerobics instructor party.

JR: And we all wore crazy workout outfits ... And we had a bridal shower for Emily.

EB: It was wedding themed.

JR: I think that's it. We have all next semester.



FN: What is the mascot you were talking about earlier?



All: Sheepie.

JR: She's our sixth roommate. Don't tell Res Ed though.

Emily Mumm: And we hide her around the house. And if you find her you have to rehide her somewhere.

TH: We like challenges.

GR: She's been in the bathtub ... in the bed ...

EB: I've turned the shower on on her.

EB: And she's been in laundry baskets, too.

JR: On the toilet.

TH: I put her in your pillow case one time. That was fun.

GR: We've been doing this since

sophomore year. She used to be

part of a Christmas on Campus scene until we adopted her.

EM: She's probably pretty dirty. We should probably clean her.

GR: You can do that, Em.



FN: Finish this sentence: When your

friends stop by 116 Lawnview, they

can always find ...

GR: FOOD.

EM: And crazy outfits.

EB: Themed cakes.

JR: I made a Sheepie cake for my birthday.

GR: We made a beach cake for the luau.

EB: And dumbbells for the workout party. It didn't look that good.

TH: I thought it was good.

GR: It was a valiant effort.

EM: We bake a lot.

JR: We eat a lot too.

EM: I only eat unhealthy on Saturdays.

GR: So Saturdays are let's all eat unhealthy.

EB: Even those who don't eat healthy the rest of the week.

GR: Emily plans on Monday what bad things she wants to eat on Saturday.

EB: She'll be craving curly fries on Monday, and she'll say that's what I'm going to have on Saturday.

EM: I want to go back to Burger King. That's the best. That was like the best experience for my taste buds in a long time.



FN: Do you have any house traditions?

TH: Family dinners.

EB: We alternate who cooks.

GR: But there are always

vegetarian meals because three of us are vegetarians.

GR: Me, Emily and Tracey.

TH: What WHAT?

EM: And Sheepie.

EB: We also go to Apple Fest. It's this huge festival with apple butter. Well, we go for the apple butter. There's also animals you can pet and tons of different food.

EM: And crafts.

EM: We also do Christmas on Campus and Dance Marathon every year. We usually win most spirited team or most spirited dancers.

EB: It goes along with our house spirit. It carries over into our activities.



FN: What is your porch most used for?

GR: People watching.

JR: Yeah we people watch a lot. And we play songs for the people who walk by. So if there's a couple walking by, we play a love song. One time they got mad at us. Like really mad.



FN: Any downfalls to living here?

TH: On any given Friday night, we can hear about four different songs at once because our insulation is not good.

GR: We have paper thin walls. When our neighbors are on their porch, I feel like they are in our bed.

TH: When I do jumping jacks upstairs, Grace thinks it sounds like elephants.

JR: And the floors are really creaky. When you go up the stairs, it sounds like a 500 pound person.

EB: Like movies fall off the TV. I don't think it's even normal.



FN: Any final thoughts or philosophies?

GR: This is a drama free zone. Positive attitude is big in this house.

TH: We support each other.

EM: There's a lot of love.

GR: We are very blessed to have each other.

JR: I think my roommates are the greatest people in the world.
