It's gone for a year

Chunk

I was just wondering what everyone misses the most about CTYI.

mentalimplosion

the rez
the common rooms
unlimited access to art supplies
kate!
the quad
italian people (ehhh...no)
the plastic cup telephone we had between our room and elaine's room

Spenguin

I miss the quad. Not the food. I miss having my own fridge. Well, I only had to share it with one person. Actually, she didn't use it at all.:)

Mystic Fibrosis

I miss NOTHING. Except for the 3 in the mornings. Those kind of 3 in the mornings can never be equalled when you share a room with the 2 best roommates ever.

mentalimplosion

hehehe... that is SO not what i remember you saying

Raphael

I miss

1. My girlfriend Cat (who is now 5 timezones away)

2. The random hugs

3. Snapple

4. Sitting on the grass, doing nothing

lordsippa

I miss not feeling so old. <sigh>

Crash

i miss my naivety. i miss being young enough to get into CTYI so i could forget everything that wasnt of vital importance (i.e. girrrrrls, friends, and girlfriends)

It wasn't me!

Random hugs.
The slightly more frequent hugs I got when people found out I was going early.
The people.
2am chats with my roommate, due to still being hyper on anything caffeinated I could get in my system.
JOLT.
Everything about the place.
The bitterness I felt at being cheated out of the last week and the last 2 discoes.
But at least I'll be back, unlike too many others I know.

Dalamar

The whole lack of social rules, the lack of scumbags, and the endless amounts of friendly people.

Liquorice

Friendly people with similar interests. Having something to do all day. Countless humorous incidents. Interesting conversations. Jolt(I can't find it anywhere. NEED JOLT.).

Crash

heh, scarlett get a bunch into town next saturday and i'll show yez where to get jolt

s0l

Waking up in the presence of friends and spending the day's with people you love

This is a valid comment.

One other thing I miss out of humour:


One night Macdara and I were REALLY bored and we launched into a conversation about the clitoris (girly giggle). Anyway, I was debating it's existence in the spirit of Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back and he was telling me where it was and got me royally confuzzled. SO from then afterwards I went on a spree of related jokes like when we were in the cafeteria and I'd shout "I can't find it here" or something akin to that. I think the funniest was when we were at the student RA games in the park and I said "Hey!! You said I'd find it in some kinda pitch! LIES!!!"


In retrospect, that's not actually funny at all. Sorry for wasting your time

nosmo

I remember asking Rory to help us find it one RA meeting..

s0l

"Mummy, why don't I have a clitoris? "

Liquorice

I remember MacDara and Garóg asking me if they could borrow my clitoris while we were filling out that questionnaire. As you can probably guess, I refused their request. But I did find their honesty about their innocence endearing.

halenger

I don't even know where to start!!

I've learnt not to dwell on the "what I miss" etc cause sooner or later we've all gotta face the cruel harsh world and yes oh yes it is cruel and harsh... But memories are great. I Love just out of the blue remembering something totally weird, wacky and funny.

The best thing to do is meet up with people. Reunions are good but make sure you never let go of your closest of friends. No matter how far away they live. You can make some of the bestest friends of your life in the little short time that is CTYI but they'll stick with you if you stick with them!

Me thinks I'm rambling. I should stop being so absolutely wrecked tired and writing posts on boards!!

stevanavich

what i'll miss:

having a room to myself to what i wanted with.
lack of parents.
going into macdara's room at half eight to find him half naked in bed, and his surprise as to how i got in. their door was ****ed, so it wouldnt close, leading to the trice daily sentence of "how the **** did you get in?!"..*AHEM*..
listneing to garog and macdara shouting "foook you!!" at three in the morning from the room next to me.
imitating the guy from behemoth during class.
our t.a. fio.
.erm...this will take too long so ill just say "EVERYTHING!!!!"

alucard

i miss:

-my dcu induced insomnia

-being able to make smart jokes

-rory.....................sigh

-your ma

-the food.................EH..............NO.

-Saying EH...............NO all the time and then those foolish people thought it was funny and tried to copy me.

Remember insta-goth james trying to say:

"stick it up your hole, ya mosher"

i still feel guiltly about kind of being responsible for the lights incident. andnow i get so scared whenever i have to pull a light switch, incase it explodes again.

Mystic Fibrosis

Yes. Your light broke. Our doorknob fell off. You couldnt close the door, or otherwise you couldn't get back in. I kept it and it's sitting in my room. Also, our toilet flusher broke off. We couldn't flush it without considerable difficulty. So BAH. And Rory didn't care. And ALSO, we didn't have enough power to run all of our appliances simultaneously. I mean, COME ON PEOPLE!!

malecO

I'll most definitely miss:
-my room
-the people
-the broken bongos
-jamming
-the strangely "good" discos
-the canteen food
-the grass
-and, lots and lots of other stuff which I can't think of right now

So-on

Ahem...I miss -

- the smell of the whole place
- the quad
- long hours of doing nothing on weekends and slowly harvesting the grass in the quad
- the kitchen
- toasted waffles (hmmm...midnight waffles...)
- foosball tournies
- PIGGYBACK WARS!!!
- knowing that anyone at anytime could be a potential hug-rapist
- the canteen (i'm sorry - i'll eat anything, and even though that reconstituted cardboard may have nearly killed me, it's still just food to me....)
- RA meetings - that cherished time of day when we tortured Richie beyond all measure. Oh wait, that was ALL day...
- class
- potnoodle-induced midnight ramblings...
- JOLT
- JOLT
- JOLT
- caffeine...i.e. JOLT
- brief JOLT addiction
- incidents involving spontanious addictions
- Italians (or mocking thereof)
- after 9 in the quad
- getting to know people
- UNREAL TOURNAMENT!!! (we got banned from the computer labs 'cos of that...)
- happy times
- storming through the corridors on a Jolt high, doing about 4 laps without getting caught in the girls side....
- Spar (just something about the way they wrapped the spicywedges...)
- that cohesive, open friendlyness that you could experience with anyone, at anytime
- waking up and knowing that today you're gonna meet at least 3 new people
- crazy mad funky psychadelic disco dancing madness....
- trying to figure out a pattern in the cobbling around campus
- bubble-mania
- JOLT-mania
- plotting slow painful RA anihalation through aquatic disintegration (in those exact words....)
- stuff....

and Rory... I'll miss Rory... *sigh

pretty*monster

I miss not feeling guilty about my diet of chocolate and jolt cola
And i miss having a roommate to talk all night to who put up with the fact that i occasionally throw things and yell down the phone at all hours of the night.
And i miss having my parents hundreds of miles away.
and i miss knowing that i was going to hang out with deadly people all day every day

Yeah, well you had the biggest, coolest apartment even if it had its faults so I don't see why you're complaining.

s0l

toilet in our shower!
in the SHOWER!
even though i only used it once, that is i sat down in it once. 3 weeks i lasted, yeah!

Yeah, you guys had a seat in your shower. It was big too. Our shower was only about a foot wide and everything else in the bathroom would get drenched cos of the lack of space.

It wasn't me!

More stuff:

Lorcan's (Lara's Lorcan) innuendoes regarding breakfast cereals
JOLT
My caffeine addiction <twitches> Oh, wait. There it is!
The slightly smug feeling that I'll outlast the nevermores.
The guilt I felt for thinking that because they were all so sound.
The rest of it
Lorcan wearing a thong on his head in santry
Lorcan on a Solpadein induced bender during and after the first disco
Like I said, the rest.

s0l

I warned him about that. Solphadine will do your liver and kidneys no end of damage.

sionnach

heh ive missed the delicious canteen food, helga and her charming small talk, the spacious living quarters....lol no seriously, i miss waking up in the morning just spontaneously smiling with happiness.........

It wasn't me!

And whatever brain cells he had left must have gotten fried! It was funny though. He came sprinting through us as fast as he could while we were singing "Amore" outside Colm and Willie's room

incredula pert

without a doubt the friends i made! really and truly, i'm convinced that the people i met this summer are some of the best i will ever encounter!

aha! so i wasn't the only person who did that.

Plasticman

All the people who are obsessed with their *Jolt Addiction* because everyone else on campus was doing it.
My old RA who hated me (ah, Chris Chan).
My older RA who kindof liked me, but hated my brother for being the worst room-mate ever (I can empathise).
My instructors, one of whom was amazingly sound and funny, and the other who we continuously tormented (poor enda).
The immature triumph I felt when defeating lights out by putting a lamp under the desk, not realising all the old CTYI-going RA's knew about it.
In relation to ^^ my naivety.
The years of my life I never really made the most of *cue generic nostalgia music and teariness*
