"SNARFFFFFF-BLATT!!!!!!!!!!"
This is what happens when you take a step back in time and study in Mertz West Lounge.
For those of you who don't remember, a Snarfblatt is the word for a pipe, used by Ariel in Disney's, "The Little Mermaid."
Says my friend, Kevin, who is diligently studying for his American Education final tomorrow morning. Observe:
Notice his glee, the starbucks coffee thermos, and the pan of chocolate cake.
Yes.
It's finals week.
So why am I blogging about snarfblatt?
I just felt myself gliding down memory lane as I went through my Medieval Culture notes this evening, letting the chatter of Kevin and Maddie and Rob float into my ears. The Little Mermaid was a beloved movie when I was four. And I didn't even know what "Medieval" was. Or even "culture," come to think of it. I was pre-occupied with making a cinderella crown from aluminum.
I love how I can meet someone here at Loyola and instantly bond with him or her because of a shared childhood thing. Disney movies or pop rocks or macaroni jewelry. Lunchables or power rangers (I wanted to be the pink one) or Gushers/Fruit Roll-Ups or tamagachi pets or Spice Girls or Ferbie or those tennis shoes that lit up when you walked.
Instead of homework or school years or family stuff or friends, we can all always seem to relate to each other about something.
Hence:
Snarfblatt.
Oh, Kevin.


SNARFBLATT, I am going to fail my final exam tomorrow because of my obsession with your blog.
"I'm exploding rainbows!"
Bisous Bisous Bisous
