A few weeks ago I tried to call my little sister but she couldn't take my call... why? Because she was watching a flash mob. One of the things I have been wanting to experience forever.
Well, lucky for me, yesterday, as I was sitting in our University Union plaza, I got the opportunity to experience my very own flash mob!! A group of students put it together and it started promptly at 11:18 a.m.
Take a look:
Unfortunately, as you can tell by looking at the people lining the perimeter of the plaza, a lot of people knew that it was going to be happening. Some day I will experience one that is not anticipated and completely shocking to bystanders - like this one in Antwerp. Still, pretty cool.
Not to mention that it fulfills number 18 on my 101 in 1001 list.
Okay, so by now (if you read my blog) you have seen me post the flash mob from Central Station in Antwerp, Belgium That is still my favorite flash mob, but today I stumbled across these new ones.
They are the same songs, but in different countries. One is in Seattle, Washington and the other is in Rome, Italy. Not only are they flash mobs, but they are GLEE flash mobs - two things I am lightweight obsessed with.
The Rome one is my favorite out of the two because it is in Rome (which I love), it is at Christmas time (which is one of the most beautiful times of the year in Rome - the only time I've ever even been there... but the decorations are BEAUTIFUL and magical), and it involves Italians (which, many of you know, are my weakness).
So this weekend has been slightly crazy.
First, Thursday was a lot of fun with the roomies, their bfs, and mike.
Then Colin came to visit on Friday night which was nice but I was sad that I didn't get to spend a lot of time with him; I had work at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday so I went to bed pretty damn early.
Third, my mom and Liana (as well as my mom's dog, Toby) came to visit on Saturday and stayed until this morning. On Sunday I took them to Forever 21 (which Liana loved) and then we went to Santa Maria and I got new glasses at Lensecrafters. They look so cute! I also took my mom to Pita Pit for lunch and Corner View for dinner. We all slept in my room which was a bit crammed, but still nice. I will miss them when I go to Spain.
Finally, Steph S. moved in to the house this weekend. We spent some time today getting her situated and putting her clothes in the closet etc. I am really looking forward to her being here so that I can get to know her better. She's very nice!!!
One thing that I did with my sister and my mom while they were here was to watch some YouTube videos. My mom had sent me an e-mail a while ago with a video attachment. I hadn't watched it yet, but I'm glad she showed it to me because it was so cute. You know flash mobs? It is kinda like that, but in Belgium. It is my favorite flash mob video I've seen.
(If you don't know what flash mob is, watch this video then look up "flash mob" on YouTube.. love it!)
Its like an actual, real life musical. I really really want to put one of these together. I think it would be so fun and epic. A great story to tell. If only we lived in musicals all the time
