So "KP after 9" started our sophomore year of college. It all began when Gruber, our friend Bridget, and I were talking about what age you would be if you were in a certain grade. Instead of asking, "What grade would you be in when you are 8?," I asked "How old are you when you are 8?" This kind of event had happened a couple time before and specifically after 9pm (2100 for you military time people). And thus began "KP after 9." Now three years later we have compiled 52 "KP after 9" worthy quotes. The majority of them are mine but other contributors are Gruber, our roommates Elizabeth, Taylaur, and Ashley (I think you got one in there), Mo (a soccer girl and honorary 5th roomie), and a special friend T-Swift. So without further adieu here are some highlights from "KP after 9!"
1) This comes straight out of the mouth of our bff E (aka Elizabeth). I am not sure how she came to this point but she must have had a legitimate reasoning.
"I picture basketball in North Korea to be like the Hunger Games."
2) Now, if you truly were friends with us, you knew that second semester senior year Sunday nights were devoted to TLC. We watched Gypsy Sisters and Myrtle Manor. If you haven't watched an episode of either one they are just the trashiest/weirdest/very red neck-ish tv shows. I would say Gypsy Sisters is like the Real Housewives shows but low income and on crack. E started off watch these shows with us but mid season she could take no more. In response to why she stopped watching...
"This is causing major stress in my life."
3) This past MN winter was never ending. In the midst of the winter, Winter Storm Brutus came upon us. This is when Ashley made her first appearance on the wall.
"I hate Winter Storm Bulbasaur!"
4) Gruber and mine's one year roomie/ bff Taylaur had a couple really great quotes over the years but her shining moment came from sophomore year. Tay was on the go all year. Because of this she would stuff a lot of snacks (granola bars, fruit, and a ziplock bag of nuts) in her purse so she wouldn't starve. One day while getting ready to leave she was digging through her purse for her keys when she exclaimed...
"I punctured my nut sack!"
5) First semester Gruber was in a history of East Asia class. While studying for her final she became so overwhelmed with the amount of things she needed to know about China and how it functioned she said...
"I don't know how China is a thing!"
6) Our good teammate Mo has Celiac Disease [she can't eat gluten (aka she doesn't eat anything good)]. The downside is that her favorite treat is Oreos (they have gluten in them)! So in order to get her fix she does some weird stuff. One night we were eating Oreos and she asked us this gem...
"Can I just smell them?"
7) Now for some of my great quotes. Most of mine come from miss reading, miss saying, or mixing words together. Here goes! In our caf they have little event calendars on the tables. While reading one at dinner I said this,
"Invisible poetry? What is that?"
What the sign said was inDIVISible poetry.
8) In St. Paul there is a wonderful bakery called P.J Murphy's. In hopes of going one day I was so excited that I mixed P. J. Murphy's with P. F. Changs and came up with...
"Yum P.F. Murphy's" (Chinese bakery!)
9) Lastly, this quote was my shining glory of last semester and proof that watching Jersey Shore makes you loose brain cells. While watching J-Shore one day they were trying to figure out how to spell hor d'oeuvres (I didn't even know how to spell it). I created a great word as a replacement.
"Why don't they just say Appaturs?"
In the words of Liz Lemon "BLURG." And I hope that while you read them our stupidity gave you a good chuckle.
