girls are gross

Don't be alarmed, I live in a new, nice, and clean apartment now. I guess i never uploaded this one...

i will admit to being pretty nasty once and a while, but i am completely serious when i say that the girls that lived in our apartment before us were really nasty. as mentioned in an earlier post, the carpet looked like a ja-poo-zi overflowed on it, there were hand prints on the ceiling... just use your imagination with the rest. i mean really. it was like they weren't girls, and they were actually crippled grizzly bears with machine guns as arms and octopus tentacles trying to cook stir fry, while babysitting a legion of toddlers that were all trying to make themselves peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, while standing on their heads, and playing the popular board game, "Monopoly".

 there were hand prints and random smudges all over the walls, doors... the ceiling... i honestly think that one of the girls was eating a pizza and the other was putting on her foundation and they ran out of napkins and towels and were like, *said in a valley girl lisp* "i have an idea! let's just wipe our hands on the walls and ceiling! that'll work just as good, if not better." and they proceeded to do it.  today, i decided that i would be a nice roommate to rachel and vacuum her room since she's been saying that she needs to do that, so i did. it looked fine, but not up to my standards. the carpet had clearly not been edged in a LONG time. to my dismay, i found that we do not own an edger. i thought about going to the dorms and just borrowing their's for the evening, but i just wasn't vibing it. instead, i got on my hands and knees and used my hands to edge. oh. my. gosh. i edged the whole room because i got a little ocd about it and ended up with a dust bunny larger than my fist! ewww. i was in such a "spring cleaning" mood that i edged the hallway and my room as well, since i don't want my allergies to pay me a visit like they usually do around this time of the year. the bunny got significantly bigger. i contemplated going to the trash can and taking a picture of it, but i tied up the bag that it was in. just know that it was the size of a real bunny. bigger than this one.

i might have also gotten a little carried away and cleaned the hair out of her carpet. the discovery i made was priceless. (i found 2 pennies and an earring! but that's not what i'm talking about.) i immediately related it to what we learned in our old physical science class that i actually enjoyed very much. the law of superposition. i began to smerf the carpet with my hands and found that i could pull up the hair. the top layer was all light blonde, rachel's. the harder i brushed, i got deeper and pulled some light brown hair. it must have been the girl before rachel. finally i brushed even harder and pulled up dark brown hairs, the girl twice before rachel. it was pretty gross, but quite interesting at the same time. instead of looking like layers of different colored sedimentary rock, it was layers of different colored hair.
after countless clorox wipes and many hard worked hours, liters of sweat and 3 t-shirt changes, the apartment is starting to look great! i must admit that i am happy with how it's coming. people, when you move, please leave your apartment clean. PLEASE.
