Alright whiners, we are back.
This week is important for a couple reasons:
First, The Supreme Court is FINALLY reviewing marriage equality. Hope you're all wearing red today, as well as following SCOTUS.
Second, SBA Elections are this week. I'm sure all the candidates are worthy in their own right but we at the 420 House would like to take some time to advocate one candidate in particular: Christopher Smith.
You may know Christopher as the tall and charismatic host of the Vagina Monologues, or the singing sensation that gave light to some of the toughest issues we face in SoRo ( having to travel to shop or get laid) at Specific Performance, or you may know him as your knowledgeable, and not to mention incredibly handsome Con Law TA. I know Christopher as one of the closest friends I've made here in SoRo, one that has become a platform for advice on anything from classes to the significance of throwing away your scale. Christopher is not only a good friend but a true advocate of the student body. Others have been quoted saying Christopher would be "the best fit with the SBA" and "Christopher would continue to be a great representative of the students here at VLS." So yeah, Vote for Christopher.
On to less important matters: St.Amy's Day Review:
First, we want to thank all of you who came to our party this past Saturday and made it so awesome :) We had a great time and we hope you did too. While we appreciate all of you, here are some people particularly worthy of mention:
Amy Davis, BreAnne Van der Naald, and Emily Whalen- best outfits by far.
Lauren Migliaccio- we finally got to dance to call me maybe. Speaking of dancing- Colleen Carroll, wow! And of course Brian Durkin and John Hernandez who not only provided entertainment in the form of choreographed dance routines, but also were the last to leave. You guys rock hard, thanks for the good time.
Also special thanks to Jeff Fucci who I'm pretty sure represented the 2L class alone. Of course I understand the 2Ls are busy sleeping and attending other parties (Andrew McFarlin and Christopher Smith). In any event, the 1L's and the 3L's brought the house down just fine without you guys ;)
Of course the 2L's aren't the only ones with good excuses. Somehow not one of our so-close-we-share-an-address neighbors were able to make it. Margie Slowen, you are forgiven for being in Italy. As for Will Kirk, Andrew Fowler, and Kathleen, we are sure you have a good excuse. Long commute? Couldn't find parking? Got lost on the way? Or perhaps the crowds, the music, and the lights outside were too subtle a hint the party had started. Whatever it is, I'm sure if there was any way at all you guys could have made it you would have ;)
For those of you that came, we want to let you know how impressed we are that you not only emptied all 100+ jello/shamrock shots, four cases of beer, and all of the "lucky punch" as well as most of the food, not one of you puked or passed out. You guys are champs and are welcome to party here anytime.
Alright that guys, that about wraps up today's blog. Stay tuned for our upcoming blogs on the Master's party and sleep deprivation.
Love you all,
The 420 House

Adios Spring Break
Hello again bloggers!
Hope you didn't miss us too much over break. I hope you all had a productive break. I for one started all my outlines, did all my homework for the week, and sent out internship applications- minus every single one of those things. That was the original plan but if you're looking for advice on how to make the most of your break by way of productivity and efficiency, this is not the place. I can however tell you how not to be productive (all tested and proved by yours truly):
1. Bring ALL of your school books home. Don't open any of them- in fact keep them in a bag in your closet so the sight of them alone won't cause you pain.
2. Start off your break doing something unproductive- like going to Foxwoods and losing a bunch of money. You can always do your work later.
3. Make sure you have lots of free time during the day- then waste it shopping for clothes, party supplies, groceries, any kind of shopping, go to the movies a couple times, maybe some bowling, etc.
4. Make sure to stay in shape and keep to your diet over break- and by that i mean work out twice all week and skip the protein bars for trips to olive garden and papa ginos.
5. Your work will always be there, so make sure you take a night to go drinking with some of your friends from home- or two nights, or three, maybe four :/
6. Try getting your car stuck in the mud. Nothing takes your mind off work like waiting for triple A or having to rip off your heat shield.
7. If someone mentions law school, pretend you didn't hear them. If that doesn't work, explain that mentioning anything law school related triggers your PTSD.
8. Whenever you feel like you should really be doing some work....repeat after me: "I'll do it tomorrow." If you don't get to it the next day, repeat. Works like a charm.
So obviously my spring break wasn't very productive. It was a lot of fun though, I hope yours was too!
Keep an eye out for our St.Amy's Day invitations coming out tomorrow!!! I'm so excited to see ALL of you there :)
Love you all,

What the fudge is going on here?/Welcome Amy
Dear Bloggers,
First, I would like to say that I don't recommend or encourage blogging/ reading this blog during class. However, as all you law students know, there are exceptions to every rule. The exception here is Property.
No matter how many notes I take, or how well I understand the reading, I still have one question on my mind the entire class: What the fudge is she talking about?
For example:
Reading: Three Concurrent Interests: Joint Tenancy, Tenancy in Common, Tenancy by the Entirety.
Class: Fee simple subject to an executory interest, defeasible interests followed by an executory interest. And how do we find out what we don't know now class? What is the right of survivorship? And then, what do you need to sever an interest? (must be wearing blue and sign the document in the month of October and must have exactly three children and known grandchildren and two dogs. What?)
So to answer your question professor...I don't know how to find out what I don't know now, but I have a feeling I'm not going to find out in this class.
Now for those of you asking intelligent questions and adding to your already impressive outlines right now, don't judge me.
For those of you that are on gmail, ESPN, Facebook, email, TWEN for other classes, etc (yeah, i see you). I feel you. I understand. This blog is a no judgment zone. I mean obviously, look at me. I look like the walking dead. After the concert last night and the two hour drive here this morning, I am exhausted (I know poor me, going to a concert and drinking frozen margaritas). And Gia, don't sweat it; I always have to ask for the question to be repeated. Her voice is just so easy to tune out. And p.s.- you rocked it :)
The roomies are equally as disgruntled. And cold. Apparently our furnace broke this weekend and they were forced to huddle up around two space heaters in the living room yesterday as the temperature in the house reached near-glacial. I feel your pain roomies. Actually not really, I was at home with my family yesterday eating lasagna before going to see Miranda Lambert, Dierks Bentley, and Lee Brice. But it sounds horrible, I'm glad I missed it.
As Cynthia pointed out in her request for me to kill her via gmail, she would still rather be cold than in property right now. I am inclined to agree, however I do have an impressive space heater in my room (nicknamed the "sauna"). But I'm sure the snow storm brewing outside will help the temp in the rest of the house drastically.
In other news...
This just in: Cynthia knows what is going on in class right now.
Stay Tuned for more information on St.Amy's Day Celebration as well as Amy's addition to the blog and more shenanigans from the 420 house :)
Love,

I'm actually understanding what is going on!! Hell has frozen over, as well as our living room.
And it looks like we're in a snowglobe.
(gmail - Cynthia)
Since that makes one of us, I will continue with other news. First and most importantly- we have a new roomie! We would like to welcome Amy Davis to our lovely 420 House of Mouse! While her living there won't actually take place until this summer, we count her frequent presence as well as receiving her mail as achieving roomie status! So welcome, we love you Amy!
On that note, the lovely Amy's birthday is on Saturday, March 23rd. Why should this matter to you? Because this is also the day of my belated St.Patrick's Day party. Therefore, we ask you to join our St.Amy's Day celebration. Facebook Invites to follow within the week. As some of you may have noticed, we have yet to throw a party at the legendary 420 party house. This is for several reasons. One, we want to do it justice. Two, I don't throw parties that are not epic. This is not a get together with some crackers and a thirty rack. This is a party of epic proportions. I've dug out my fog machine, and found some lights. I know how to make green beer and cocktails. Be ready, this party is for serious players only. And as this is my favorite holiday, you bitches better be wearing green :)
Love,
The 420 House
