Scene and Heard:

Most people do their best to forget the awkward glory of middle school social life. Apparently those people don’t live in Pfoho. This past Friday saw the first ever HoCo-sponsored Pfoho Sleepover, replete with scary movies, board games, and gratuitous Britney and NSYNC videos. FM dropped by for a closer look at the pre-pubescent revelry.

11:14 p.m.

I wander into a darkened common room as the group of slumber party guests watched “The Ring.” There’s popcorn and cookies aplenty, but only about ten people sprawled around the television.

11:35 p.m.

Krista E. Weiss ’09, former HoCo executive and the brains behind the slumber party, enters with both food and wine in hand. “I was sitting in the dining hall with my block mates, and we were talking about funny things we could do in Pfoho, and I just thought of having a sleepover,” says Weiss. According to her, the general response was positive, but the actual turnout fell short of her expectations.



11:54 p.m.

A sudden yelp from Michael H. Oshima ’09 sends the room into panic. “Yeah, I actually like scary movies,” he says, although everyone else is too terrified to look at the screen.

12:53 a.m.

After the movie ends, a game of Hoopla begins with “Baby One More Time” on an infinite loop in the background. Sameer Lakha ’09 drops by and comments on the relatively empty room. “It’s a great idea, but you know, it’s Friday night.”

1:30 a.m.

In the midst of charades:

“Strip Club? No? Um... sorority!”



2:05 a.m.

Truth or dare time. As Ola S. Canty ’11 prepares herself for a lap dance, I decide to take my leave—after all, I wouldn’t want to intrude on any Pfoho incest. I’m just glad it ended before anyone could suggest a game of Spin the Bottle.
