Dispatches: Beta Sweethearts?
11:32 p.m.: Arrive at Beta off–campus house. I’m thinking this is a pit stop to appease my friends before we head to Smoke’s for the night. 11:59 a.m.: Realize we are having fun.

Amongst Chinatown’s karaoke bars and massage parlors are some of the best Asian dives in Philly.

I feel drugged. Really, on a cloud, different–than–drunk, numb–to–the–world, drugged. And, as someone who (believe it or not) hasn't ever touched a drug beyond the Benadryl and Epinephrin required by a severe allergy to peanuts, I have to say — it's quite a fascinating state of being. This past week seems like a blur.
Deja Vu: Psycho On The Run

Girl at Gia: Is ecstasy vegan? Sophomore SDT eavesdropping on bro time at TEP, live–blogging the "juicy" deets to her sorority listserv: Basic jist of the convo = half say they like it when girls know what they want and ask for it, the other half likes to work a little for it… Also, they decided the ideal fantasy is road head… discussed it being a threesome and decided against it… I think road head is one of the lamer 'fantasies.' [Ed Note: You're an idiot.

The Gutter: 11.04.10
Still reeling from [insert egregious Halloween–homecoming contraction here]? With the 2010ers back to relive the glory days — too soon, we think — trying to reclaim their thrones and pushing our beloved Smoke’s to full capacity, boy was last weekend hard.

Seven months away from graduation, and I’m starting to stress about leaving the comfort of the Penn nest.
