Fauxcoming

(fauxcoming 2009 - this obviously doesn't rep homecoming as a whole, don't get it twisted =D)

So tonight is the culmination of unofficial Homecoming at Queen's after its cancellation last year. Though I braved the crowds and rain and mud last year on Aberdeen I definitely skipped out this year, why?:

1) It cold for reals

2) Still feel a bit icky from last night's shenanigans

3) ILLEGAL (.... debatable)

4) So much more fun to follow the liveblog on the Journal's website from my couch.

(homecoming 2008)

The party I was at last night was broken up by cops just for overcrowding (and probably noise bylaw violation) and that wasn't even the main fauxcoming night so I've had enough cop exposure for one weekend thank you. Also had one of those "I will never drink again!" mornings-days, riding around Kingston on the bus did not remedy this feeling.

My Favourite Overheards on Aberdeen thus far:

“Look at my missed calls! So many people are miss-calling me because I’m having so much fun.” -Drunken first year who just can’t get enough

Cop #1: “What would you rather be doing tonight?”
Cop #2: “I’d rather be drinking.”

“A cop came up to me and thought I had a red cup. The cop said ‘Where’s your red cup?’ I said, ‘I don’t have a red cup, I have a carrot. I want to feed the horses.” -Guy holding a big orange carrot, talking to his friend.

Cop to guy on lawn: “I’m getting paid, bro, that’s all I care about.”
Guy on lawn: “You should come have a beer with us after!”

See! It's good times all around. Hope everyone has a safe and FUN night - that is what it's all about .... also mounted police
