zoegirl:
Angela, yes they are. omigod. the ONLY pictures you post are sorority pics and party pics and drunkish party-outfit-posing pics.
SnowAngel:
not true!
SnowAngel:
maybe true.
SnowAngel:
ok, true, except donât forget my derpy puppies in a basket picture.
zoegirl:
I asked Maddie about it, and she said she just doesnât like having her picture taken.
SnowAngel:
she doesnât. remember her whole curl-up-in-a-ball/ hide-her-face-with-her-hands phase when either of us tried to take her pic?
zoegirl:
but she grew out of that phase
SnowAngel:
well, I donât know, then. I guess she grew back in.

there is a pumpkin in our dining hall that weighs 1,400 pounds and is named Gourdzilla!
zoegirl:
it is so cool!
mad maddie:
that is one big pumpkin.
mad maddie:
how do u know it weighs that much?
zoegirl:
thereâs a sign. also I just now lifted it up, and by my guesstimate, that sounded about right.
mad maddie:
such a brute! I like!
zoegirl:
Holly and Gannon and I held hands and tried to wrap our arms around her, but we didnât come close.
mad maddie:
her? the pumpkin has a vagina?
zoegirl:
no.
zoegirl:
well, not to my knowledge.
zoegirl:
but itâs a tradition at Kenyon to have a gigantic pumpkin in the cafeteria to celebrate fall, and I guess the pumpkin is always a âshe.â thatâs how everyone refers to her.
zoegirl:
sheâs huge, Maddie. seriously, you would love her.
mad maddie:
snapchat?
zoegirl:
yes, maâam . . .
mad maddie:
omfg, I LOVE THAT PUMPKIN. I want to eat that pumpkin and have that pumpkinâs babies!
zoegirl:
the second pic is of Holly and Gannon. they both say hi.
mad maddie:
hi back
mad maddie:
why is Hollyâs belly button green?
zoegirl:
she got bored in one of her classes and colored it.
mad maddie:
why is her belly button visible?
zoegirl:
because she has her shirt tied back, silly!
zoegirl:
kidding. I mean, it IS, but the âwhyâ is because she wanted to show off her green belly button. sheâs hoping people will think itâs mold.
mad maddie:
well, she and Gannon both look nice.
zoegirl:
they are. they were worried about me during my time in the Bad Lands too, as it turns out.
mad maddie:
but yr better now?
zoegirl:
yup. I went for a run again this morning, and Iâm going to try to make myself do that three times a week. Iâm not going to skip class anymore, and today I met with all my profs and asked if I could make up the work I missed.
zoegirl:
my heart is still secretly hurting . . . but too bad.
mad maddie:
fake it till ya make it?
zoegirl:
yes. exactly.
zoegirl:
and Iâm not TOTALLY faking it. alone in my dorm room, Iâm a pathetic self-pitying mess, but when Iâm with other people, itâs so much better.
mad maddie:
whichâahemâI told you five million years ago
zoegirl:
I know, I know.
zoegirl:
so whatâd you do over the weekend?
mad maddie:
you have to ask? I sat alone in my dorm room like a pathetic self-pitying mess, obviously.
zoegirl:
Maddie . . .
zoegirl:
zoegirl:
that was kind of mean. did you intend it to be?
mad maddie:
I didnât. Iâm sorry. the second I hit âsend,â I realized it wasnât a good joke.
zoegirl:
it wasnât even a bad joke.
mad maddie:
yr right, and I really am sorry.
mad maddie:
what I really did over the weekendâhold on to yer hatâwas go ghost hunting!
zoegirl:
no way
mad maddie:
way! thereâs a building on campus thatâs supposedly haunted, and my suitemates and I snuck in thru the window and went down to the basement, which is the most haunted part of the entire haunted building.
zoegirl:
eek, I would have been worried about the campus police.
zoegirl:
was it creepy?
mad maddie:
so creepy I canât even tell you. human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together . . . mass hysteria!
zoegirl:
haha
mad maddie:
ok, but there WAS a
