IT HAS BEEN FAR TOO LOOONG..
OK so Shelby is right, we've become addicted to Tumblr. Sad but true. So what else have we been up to since then? School started. That's about it.
It may take a while to get back on our fashionable feet, forgive us!

Animal House
So if I haven't already told you, which I probably have, Chelsea, Neema, Shelby, and I have entered Virgin Mobile's "On the House" contest. With all four of us paying for our own post-secondary, taking out student loans, and working part-time, we STILL need some help finding rent for a house of our very own! So we've entered this contest as team FATSVILLE to get some free rent for our lovely abode.
ME, RECYCLING. NO BIG DEAL, JUST DOING MY PART
FATSVILLE's got mad respect for Mother Nature, and we try to do our part to help her out. And none of us want to pay MORE for energy we don't need/use, so we all gotta limit our showers and flick off. And maybe it's because I'm lazy, or just gross, but I know I reuse my dishes when they're not that dirty... it saves water!
We recycle all our stuff! Any stray empties and bottles left behind after a party, we'll stash away in these nifty IKEA recycling bags and take them to the University Bottle Depot and get some cash back for some groceries (or clothes). And who says we need to have brand-spankin' new furniture? Goodwill and Value Village are the IKEAs of poor university students.
DON'T SKIMP ON STYLE
And for what we can't recycle, we compost it. Good soil makes for good gardens, and a few of us are hippies, so we love us some organic grub. Why not? It's healthy, right? And to be extra kid-crafty we save old popsicle sticks for garden labels. Someday, we'll master the art of baking our own zucchini bread. AND have you ever heard of Freeganism?! Being a freegan is apparently the coolest thing on the face of the earth. I think it's a possibility at FATSVILLE. Talk about saving money on food...
And just so everyone knows how serious we are about this, we've established some house rules for us and anyone who happens to find themselves in our little house:
FATSVILLE HOUSE RULES
1. make communal meals
2. wear sweaters when it's cold instead of blasting the heat
3. short showers
4. close the fridge door, please
5. lights off when you ain't home
6. unplug when you ain' t using it
7. big loads of laundry! Kill more birds with that stone!
8. use transit! bike!
9. carpool! We all go to the same school anyways.
10. if it's yellow, let it mellow.. sometimes.
11. recycle them bottles and cans from parties and get cash money!
12. use said money to buy green cleaning products
13. if you're too poor, DIY. It's fun, it's cheap, and it's unique. Design Sponge* is the coolest site for DIY if you're interested.
IN CONCLUSION: We live in, and love, Calgary, the weirdest-weathered city in the world. You can experience all four seasons in a matter of hours, promise. But with global warming, there'd be no surprises! Just hot weather. Plus, we're cold-weather women. We love snow, and everything that comes with it: skiing, snowboarding, sledding, skating, partying.
Even though we love the shorts and t-shirts, heavy sweating just doesn't work for us.
