Commons Life??

haha Agreed! I have a hard enough time watching people eat nasty stuff on shows like Survivor and Fear Factor, I'm pretty sure I'd gag up a storm! Was bad enough when I had to eat some sort of dried up fish for a city chase marathon on Ottawa a couple months back - soooo grooooosss! I like my taste buds too much to try and abuse them

 

hahahaha! thats just the Uk lads thing, i think it was one of the worst!!! think girls might get it easier!! haha x

 

lol!! Thats a relief!!! Whew! I was worried there!!!

 

yeah as far as i know.. the rest of the initiations aren't so bad

the norwegians have to drink a number of pints of beer in less than a minute or somethin like that...

 

I like tofu. ;D

 

I'm up for a challenge if thats what it takes to be in the "in group" lol, but I really really hope I'm not coerced into eating bugs... the liquor I'll try, but the bugs?? Thats nasty haha

 

I'll go for the throw in and allow myself to be pushed in the pool with my clothes on, but that is as far as I go!!

 

believe me guys, I've done it all before...you cannot be forced into something you don't want to do...everything is in good fun, but if you don't want to do something you don't have to do it!

 

NOOOO PRESSUREEEEE (except for the pressure)

More and more people are being put in Patterson now. It's not s big a deal as you think. It's so close to walk there and if you're in by 9 it's no big deal at all. And as long as you don't cause any scenes you can slip by and sleep in the Commons at a friend's house.
The only thing I would strongly advise is if you have someone signed in under your name, make sure they don't get caught on property after 1. One of my guests was caught, as he wasn't actually with me the whole night, and now I can't sign anyone in ever again. It sucks big time because my boyfriend is a local so every couple of days I have to get someone to sign him in for me.

 

haha, sooo true! You will need to keep an eye on me so I don't spend all my money! haha
As for initiation, I wonder what Canada has to do......Drink maple syrup? haha. I am pumped!!

 

if the initiation for canada is to eat something gross then ill stay a loner for the year HOWEVER, if the initiaion is taking a hockey puck to the face, then I'M IN!

 

Canada throw-in has nothing to do with food Drink yes, food no....lol

 

by drink you mean chocolate milk and apple juice right???

 

mmm chocolate milk! Been forever since I've had that actually! Used to have that in my cereal allz the time!

Too bad the challenge doesn't involve eating mass quantities of Dole Whips. I would a) enjoy the thoroughly, and b) ROCK IT!

 

Initiations scare me!! Had to go through them at university and once was enough!!!

Random question but does anyone know if you can buy gluten free beer over there?

 

If theres someone who makes it, im sure youll find it.

 

Haha yep!! I'll be the determined looking one going to all the offies!!

 

hey I did a google search on gluten free beers and there is for sure one called redbridge(http://www.redbridgebeer.com/) as well as a couple of others shouldn't be too hard to find I know of a few people who live in the states year round and can't chave gluten but still enjoy a good beer.

 

Yeah i did some research as well, and asked my cousin who lives there. Apparently, you can get gluten free beer at most liquor stores. I dunno if this applies for the publix near the commons, but most publix have like a little store where they only sell liquor. Im sure theyll have it there.

 

Ah awesome Seems like it will probably be easier than getting it in the UK!! Thanks for looking for me guys
