Today is Megan's birthday, so in honor of the blessed day when she was brought forth into this world and graced the rest of us with her life and laughter, I have decided to dedicate this blog to her.

Let me tell you a little story.

23 years ago, on the morning of Novermber 4, Cindy Iazeolla began having serious labor pains. Several hours later, the pride and joy we all know and love and refer to as Megan was delivered from her womb, where she had spent the previous 40 weeks developing and covering herself with cottage cheese. Sick.

Luckily, for those of us that live with Megan, she no longer wraps herself in snotty substances. Nowadays, she tends to stick to Gap t-shirts and jeans. And wow, does she look good in them. Woo!

The parental units came to campus tonight to take the 4 of us ladies out to eat for the birthday festivities. They brought Brother, Ciara, Zach, and Jared with them. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't the least bit jealous that everyone else had their significant others with them, while mine was far away in Lafayette. Ok, well everyone who has one, which is everybody but Nicole. Anyhoo, it was a great time, and I'm so glad everyone came. We just laughed so much. I've missed sitting around the dinner table with my fam and cracking up at everyone else. Except this time, we were at Ryan's in Marion, and there were 10 of us instead of the usual 5 (or 6, as Meg is officially a part of us now). Holy mother, my roommate is HILARIOUS!! She told her funniest story, and I told the Cinderblock joke and broke out a few BurnVictim phrases; Dad had never heard any of the BV jokes, so he was slightly caught off guard, but then laughed like a hyena when he remembered that I am a BV myself, so.... I guess I have a right to make those jokes, right?

Dad said that the 4 of us are a lot alike and he can see how we'd get along so well. He's right. I don't mean to sound arrogant with this or anything, but I think we are the funniest people I know, both together as a group and individually. We make me VERY happy.

I think God knew what he was doing when he had Kyle introduce Kalee and Megan 4 years ago. Gosh, it's been a wild ride. There have been some tough times of working through problems on the journey of becoming free and healed, but I've learned so much about truth and life and love over the past few years. I have a few very close friends whom I love dearly and would do anything for, but nobody has managed to cross the line from friend to true sister like Megan has. I mean that. I honestly feel like I have a flesh and blood bond with her. I mean, I know that she and I will probably never be like how Kalee and I are, but she's the closest thing to it. By far. It's so weird how life works itself out; I'll never cease to be amazed at the workings of the Lord. Woo!

On that note, happy birthday, Megan Renee Iazeolla. I can't tell you how glad I am that your were born on this glorious autumnal day, 23 long years ago.

You mean more to me than you realize. Thank you. For everything.

Nicole posted this in her Xanga today, so I stole it. I added my own answers, of course.

I AM: Keenan Danielle Pruett
I AM ALSO: A Capricorn?
I HAVE: a jukebox in my head. I know lots of music.
I WISH: I could be making out right now (This was Nicole's answer, and I liked it, so I kept it, b/c I'd be lying if I said it wasn't true)
I MISS: Hanging out with my dad
I FEAR: Baby carrots
I HEAR: Eminem's "Just Lose It"
I SEARCH: my room for my missing INT 322 notebook
I LOVE: My family, my roommates, and dancing
I ACHE: When I get sick, my whole body aches. My back is usually sort of sore, so random backrubs will NEVER be denied. Bring it on!
I ALWAYS: Touch things. I'm pretty tactilian.
I AM NOT: Always as confident as I may seem. I, too, need validation.
I DANCE: ALL THE TIME, except when I am in Andrew's dorm, b/c I just couldn't do it then, regardless of how much I wanted to bust a few mean moves. Maybe I felt bad about breaking the IWU rules? :)
I SING: Also pretty much all the time, and such a wide variety of songs
I CRY: During movies and when Dad cries. Also occassionally when praying for someone. This happened last week with Meg. Very moving.
I AM NOT ALWAYS: Curly-haired Keenan. On very rare occasions, I am straight-haired Keenan, but those days are few and far between.
I WRITE: In my journal almost every day
I WIN: Most games I play with Andrew, except for Memory and that Labyrinth maze game
I LOSE: My mind late at night
I CONFUSE: Other people when I am in QuietMode and don't talk
I NEED: To be told I am loved
I SHOULD: Work harder for my grades
FATHER THINKS I AM: Not home enough
MOTHER THINKS I Am: Her special gift from Heaven, saved for something unique. Woo for physical reminders.
MY EX THINKS I AM: No ex.
YOUR CLOSE FRIENDS: Are steady and constant and like me for my goofy, abnormal self.
*Family*
PARENTS: Are the people I aspire to be like. Dang, they are amazing.
SIBLINGS: Are fun and like to gang up on me. Kalee is incredible, and Jeremy is turning out to be quite the stud I hoped he'd be. Seriously, lady friends of mine, so what if he is only 17 (18 on November 17!), he's GREAT!
LIVE WITH: Nicole Leigh Bennett, who is definitely the best roommate I could have for this season of my life. Oh yeah, and the Virgin Mary stops by on occassion to sing me to sleep.
FAVORITE RELATIVES: Grandma and Cheryl. Woo for true Pruett women.
*FaVoRiTeS*
NUMBER: 13?
COLOR: light blue/periwinkle. I am starting to get into greens and browns though, mostly b/c of my cool friend Mel Basch.
DAY: One when I can sleep in without feeling guilty. Yay for rest!
SONG: At this EXACT moment in time, I'd have to say # 11 on Marc Broussard's CD, Carencro. I think it's called "Let me Leave," but I'm not sure. I usually don't have "favorite" songs, though, there are just too many to choose from!
SPORT: Football to watch, volleyball to play

Nicole says I am the Bad Samaritan.

I disagree.

I am more like one of the thugs that beat up the lone traveler on the road and left him for dead.

My weekend = SUPERB!!

Friday: After Pentateuch (which was amazing, by the way. Wilbur Glenn Williams is the coolest old man ever and Friday's class was probably the best class I've had all semester. Woo!), I hung out in the room with Nicole and Megan, then we grabbed WC and headed south to Steve's house in Anderson. Note: when attempting to find the right street to turn onto, always make sure you are actually in the right town. I hear it helps. 8th Street in Alexandria is nothing more than an alley; 8th Street in Anderson is the right road. We laughed a lot on the way there. I'm glad I was the one driving. Anyway, we watched Godsend.... creepy! The best part was watching Steve scream and jump at the scary parts. Of course, I jumped and screamed right along with him, but it was just really funny to see this 23 year old guy flailing around in his chair. After the movie, we listened to ghetto music while carving pumpkins. Greatness! I think Nicole and I caught Steve off guard a few times with some of our random comments, but that's ok. He is learning us. Love us or leave us.

Megan wanted Taco Bell when we got back to campus, so we went there and met quite possibly th emost incompetent drive-through worker ever. I definitely told him her order 3 different times. I chose to give him the benefit of the doubt and blamed it on faulty equipment. Nicole and I went to Wal-Mart after dropping Meg off at the dorm, b/c Roommate needed to buy last-minute things for her Halloween costume. I ended up falling asleep at the pattern counter while waiting for someone to come and cut her fabric. We rang the bell 5 times, no joke. Who falls asleep at Wal-mart? I do, apparently.

Saturday brought warm weather and no homework. I worked at the kids' Halloween thing in the RWC, which was so fun! Kem's booth was a penny pitching thing in hopes of winning a free goldfish. I was all about that, except that when I showed up to work my shift, I had to help actually bag the smelly fish. Ga-ross. Fun, but stinky. The kids all looked super cute. It made me want to be a parent and dress my child up in snazzy little outfits and trot around asking for candy. That can wait. :)

After that was over, I took off for Lafayette to stay @ Smel's apartment. We ate dinner together and watched a movie, then chatted for a bit before going to bed. We were both tired early. On Sunday morning, we went to church at Campus House. It was pretty good. I'm glad she has found a place to go regularly. That makes me happy.

I thought that I had done a thorough job of packing for my stay in Lafayette, but I was wrong. Sure, I managed to bring my videocamera and outfit to wear to church, but I was a moron and forgot to pack jeans and pajamas. :( So Sunday I wore my skirt all day long, which wasn't too bad b/c it was long and denim and could be casual if worn with the right top, which I had. No biggie.

I went to Andrew's dorm and spent the afternoon with him on Sunday. That was great! We watched part of The Crow; there were tons of stupid semi-scary movies on TV. Halloween does that. Regardless of the dumb movie, it was really good to see him. *Misses The Boyfriend lots*

I MET KRISTYN ON SUNDAY!! Woo! She was so nice! Yay for face-to-face meetings. I was happy. Sometimes I feel like I am incapable of carrying on decent conversation, and sitting with her was definitely one of those times. Sorry, K-Dawg. I promise I can talk to people! Hopefully we'll meet up again and I'll have more to say.

I drove home from Purdue in enough time to go to YWAV. I loved the service: All Saints Day thing was really, really well done. I'm proud to say that I belong to my church. It was really cool and dark and just an all-around good special service, very out of the ordinary. I felt like a complete dork though, b/c I wore my old twizzlers t-shirt that happens to glow in the dark (heinous sounding, I know, but trust me, it's killer!), so I felt like I had to keep my jacket closed all night. I didn't plan it that way.

It's nice to be missed, you know? Jamie Bogue told me that he thought about me all week long and kept wanting to call me but didn't have my number. I was touched. It's so nice to know that people are praying for you. Last week was the busiest of the semester, I think. Not bad, just really busy. I can't imagine what it would have been like had I not had someone back home praying for me like he was. I'm excited about Cristmas break... I can't wait to go crash at his house and be his partner at euchre and smoke everyone else and exchange presents with his family... FUN!! After YWAV was over, Ryne, Zach, and the whole Bogue clan came to our house. Dang, I just love being home. I've only been HOME-home for 1 full weekend so far this semester. Dad hates that, and he made it fairly clear last night that he wasn't a fan of this RA thing if it meant I can't be home much. Sorry dude. :( Thanksgiving break is in 3 weeks!! Bring it on.

This post was long and boring. I was hoping for some fun anecdotes and re-tellings of funny moments over the past 72 hours, but nothing came to me. Just straight facts. Maybe next time.

I am a hero. I saved a damsel in distress from the attacking elevator. Yep, a certain roommate of mine who wishes remain anonymous--but whose initials might be NLB--somehow managed to get herself stuck to the handrail in the elevator. Megan and I got off the elevator, like normal, non-stuck people would do, and as we exited, I heard a scream from the inside. The voice called to me with such fervor and intensity and fear that I knew I had no choice but to return to the elevator and see whatever was the matter. I turned around in time to see a hand shoot out of the door right before it closed, thus stopping the impending slam of the cold, metal box into eternal damnation. Taking a few steps backward, I see that this certain individual that I live with is somehow attached to the metal bar, crying for help. Being the always ready-to-serve type of individual that I am, I knew I had to face the perils of risking my own life and limb to save another. Rushing into the cabin, I quickly assessed the situation at hand, and made a strategic plan of rescue. Within seconds, thanks to the adrenaline coursing through my veins and the sheer power of my will (I WILL NOT LET YOU DIE!!), I had freed this poor, helpless soul from her torment and despair, without receiving so much as a thank you. It was no laughing matter. I was not laughing. No laughs escaped my lips. Not one.

Ok, so the whole story is true, except the part about eternal damnation and me not laughing. I definitely laughed really hard. She really did get caught in the elevator today: bookbags are tricky things, apparently. They have minds of their own and tend to wrap themselves around whatever they come into contact with?

Something gross: ü's dead body is still sitting on top of his tank. Sick, I know. His skin is starting to peel off and his shell is about to disintegrate. I'm not sure why we haven't just buried his poor rotting corpse yet, but we haven't. I should make that a goal for the weekend.

Speaking of weekends, I have fun plans for mine! I'm ready to be done with classes (sweet bliss, only one more today!) . Yay for Steve and his Fall Harvest Extravaganza, spending the night at Smellion's apartment, visiting Andrew, and meeting new friends, namely Kristyn.

Oh, and I changed my settings on my blog so hopefully I can receive comments now. SO POST A COMMENT, FOO! Do it or else.

Nicole changed her underwear today. So did Kalee.
