Summer Season
Yes, like the first season of The OC, Suite 3100 will have a Summer Season, filled with all sorts of "no responsibility" hijinx and tumultuous love interests (I hope I hope I hope).
It was strange, walking away from this blog's namesake. Vlad was the last to leave Suite 3100, just as he was the last to enter. Alfonzo and I had left, separately but simultaneously, the morning before (Alfonzo got to Atlanta 2 hours before I did). Chaz was the first to go.
At the end of any good season of play, a responsible team will look back and analyze themselves, looking for ways to diversify and improve their methods. It is in this spirit that I bring you...
Raw Data OR The Suite 3100 Awards
Most Words Written
#1. Myself, with "Dorm Adventures"
#2. Alfonzo, with "Go West, Young Man!"
#3. A tie between Carl's "Oh, Shit, Carl's Blog" and Chaz's "Fresh Squeezed Is Best" (Chaz has written a few hundred more words, but Carl has been on for less time. This is a stoner's tie).
Word Frequency
Carl's most frequently used common word was : "the" (663 times)
Carl's most frequently used less common word was : "because" (61 times, because some people just aren't going to get the right answer)
Carl's most frequently used illegal substance : "Old Navy" (??? times)
Alfonzo's most frequently used common word was : "the" (1213 times, which is a lot more than Carl).
Alfonzo's most frequently used less common word AND his most frequently used name : "Alfonzo" (65 times)
An interesting note for you all : Alfonzo's word frequency breakdown reveals that he is right to believe that he's smarter than the rest of us. He uses more unique words than the rest of the Suite put together. 55% of the words he's used he's only used once, and 20% of the words he's used he's only used twice. I am completely in awe of this.
Chaz's most frequently used common word was : "the" (569 times... more like Carl).
Chaz's most frequently used less common word was : "think" (44 times, which sets up a joke only Alfonzo would touch).
Chaz's favorite suitemate : "Vlad" (54 times, as compared to Alfonzo (45) and Alan (35))
Bridget's most frequently used common word was : "I" (154 times. Finally, someone less articulate)
Bridget's most frequently used less common word was : "know" (53 times)
Bridget's blog, "Know The Osmosing Volume" wins the award for the most words written in another language.
My most frequently used common word was : "the" (2313 times, which may be more times than everyone else put together)
My most frequently used less common word was : "song" (162 times)
I write my own last name more frequently than I write the first name of anyone else.
Vlad's most frequently used common word was : "I" (279 times. It looks like the Russians really do drop their articles)
Vlad's most frequently used less common word was : "post" (38 times, which is funny, because Vlad didn't even post 38 times since the blog started).
A sentence formed from the frequency list : "Four slyly content pop singer names speak female; multiple variables come."
An ominous warning loomed in the next random sentence : "United States doomed children; isolation, worse. Objectionable."
I was the only one awake when Chaz left. He booked a mid-morning flight to accomodate one last night of partying, and I heard him banging suitcases around on the other side of the wall. I put on a bathrobe and stretched out on the sofa.
He came out of his room a few minutes later, and he jumped a little when he turned to find me on the couch. He asked what I was doing up so early, so I told him he'd woken me up; I didn't mind, because I'd wanted a chance to say goodbye. He set his bags down and extended a sturdy hand.
I've known Chaz for about a year and a half now, and this man has done nothing but hug me. I believe he hugged me before he knew me. To see his palm upturned before me was simply too much; I snapped a little.
I threw my arms up in the air, ready to perform a very awkward bearhug, when he unfolded his unemployed arm under mine, catching my kamikaze embrace in mid-air. I had one arm over each of his shoulders, hands clasping behind his head, the front of my chin mashed into his shoulder, and I believe I might have been standing on his toes.
Sliding my arms back over his shoulders, I forgot to unclasp my hands and I pulled Chaz's hairless mug towards my grizzled jaw, and I kissed the fucker.
Posterity will argue endlessly over how long it lasted. I couldn't pinpoint it any more accurately than 2-8 seconds, though Chaz would almost certainly insist that it lasted only as long as it took for him to gather his wits.
I kissed him and I heard him inhaling through his nose as he built up strength with which to push me away, but I didn't dodge him. He sent me sailing back onto the sofa, and he clumsily grabbed his luggage and stormed out the door.
And this was an event that I would have kept secret if Chaz was still a member of the blog. Now that he's part of the outside world again, everything is fair game.
I've been home for two days now. I'll tell you more about home next time.
