Well, as you know, crimes are committed everywhere--even at BYU. In yesterday's campus newspaper, I found the Police Beat section to be very intriguing and thought I'd share a little bit of it with you...
Welfare Check
Police received a call reporting a woman walking near the Bell Tower in shorts and no shoes at 9:45 pm. The woman was gone when police arrived. (It was about 25 degrees outside at that time... what I find funny about this one is that my roommates and I have done that already... I wonder if we got reported for suspicious behavior... :] )
Suspicious Activity
Police received a call reporting a masked female near the Harris Fine Arts Center who was scaring individuals. (I think she was bored and was scaring people for fun :] )
A concerned observer reported a suspicious male in the HBLL quad at 5:45 pm. When police questioned him, he said he was Free Running, a game where people run fast toward the corners of buildings or other structures and attempt to climb them without assistance and flip or jump. The suspect was a 26 year old male visitor who said he'd learned of the game on YouTube. Police directed him to go Free Run somewhere else.
Disorderly Conduct
A 27 year old former BYU student was causing a disturbance at the football game by spitting on people.
Yeah.... BYU has some pretty amusing crime reports. I think the Free Running one wins hands down in terms of the dumbest police report. What I find most amusing about these is that people actually REPORT them to the police... :]
Well, I figured I should probably put up a picture of each of the people who will be featured on my blog the most, that way you know who I'm talking about... :]
This is Jackson. He's Krista and Julie's friend from high school in Idaho Falls, and he's over at our apartment practically every day because he lives off campus with his brother and four other guys that are a lot older than him (one of which is engaged), and he gets bored out of his mind over there. He brought us a lovely TV so we could watch football games and the Office, and he also drives us wherever we need to go, which is really handy. He doesn't normally dress like this. :] We went to DI and I made him see if the jacket would actually fit. Surprisingly enough, it did, and we thought it was one of the funniest things we'd ever seen. :]
This is the loverly Mallory from Wyoming, Minnesota. She's absolutely crazy. And so much fun. She also introduced Somers and I to Love You Long Time, a band that we now listen to nonstop thanks to her.
This is Julie and Krista. Julie on the left, Krista on the right. They live about twenty minutes away from each other... and are in completely different stakes. They went to the same high school and weren't best friends then, but decided to room together when they heard they'd both be coming to BYU. Now they're practically inseperable. Julie's most quoted phrase is "Seriously? SERIOUSLY? Wow. WOW." We make fun of her for it ALL the time, but now we find ourselves saying it out of habit, of which she finds endless amusement. :]
This is McKenzie. She lives about twenty minutes from campus and has a whole hoard of friends from high school attending BYU, as well as a job, so we don't get to see too much of her. Her boyfriend, Dustin, has a twin brother that looks just like him, and they love to confuse us whenever they come over. In this picture, she's scrubbing down the shower curtains... Krista told us it was our cleaning check on this day, and so we all scrambled around, cleaning every last inch of the apartment for four hours, only to find out that it was not, in fact, our cleaning day, and our entire ward was on a temple trip and we'd just cleaned for nothing. Our actual cleaning check is THIS friday. :]
This is Alden, who is also from Idaho. He lives not too far from Idaho Falls, which Julie and Krista found really amusing. They discovered that he went to their ultimate rival school (which, they tell us, is ranked number 1 nationwide for being the biggest high school rivalry). Krista is now dating him, and so he's frequently over at our apartment.
This is Scott, from New Mexico. He's in the ROTC program here for the Air Force, along with his roommate Alex. Scott is now dating Julie, after bonding over reminiscing about New Mexico (Julie worked in New Mexico over the summer at a Boy Scout camp and fell in love with New Mexico). He frequents our apartment as well. And he makes really good chocolate chip cookies. He loves to cook, so he's always experimenting and uses us as the guinea pigs. We don't mind. :] He also takes us shopping... poor guy. However, he DID discover where the couches are in University Mall the first trip, so now it isn't too bad for him. I just give him my iphone so he can look up football teams while we shop. :]
Somers, my lovely roommate from Flower Mound, Texas. She tells me there's not really any flowers... there's just a mound with weeds. She's always falling down on our floor for some reason or another... In this picture she actually bent over to pick up something and hit her head on the desk, fell over, and then pouted for a good twenty minutes. I just had to take pictures. :]And that's everyone!
