Living on a Prayer--Horne 52 style

Some people claim that they wish life was a musical. In Horne 52, this wish is a reality. At any given moment, someone could burst into song, from David Archuleta to a famous Broadway play, and everyone else will join in. We're basically like High School Musical...except for it's college! Our hall even has a rule that if you're gonna fight, you gotta sing it, so it's pleasant for everyone else around you. So far the only people that seem to have delt with this rule are Kenzie and Christie, and boy, it sure is entertaining! A few weeks ago, Shalece, being the dancing queen she is, pulled out her iPod and put on the classic "Living on a Prayer" by Bon Jovi, and jumped on the table and started rocking out.




















Not to be outdone, the rest of us (except Kenzie--I'm not sure where she was at this moment!) became the background dancers. As you can obviously tell, Horne 52 is not lacking ANY sort of musical/dance talent.






Especially the lovely Christie Beck. I'm pretty sure all of us are jealous of her mad skills.











A few weeks later at FHE, we were playing a game in which we all wrote down someones name and a dare they had to do. Little did we know, the seemingly innocent RM, Tim, added a little twist to the game.
Whatever the dare was that we put down for someone else, we had to do ourselves. Andrea dared Shalece to play the air guitar to "Living on a Prayer". So, at that moment, Andrea made her premier on the kitchen table. She did quite the impressive job, though the background dancers were subpar from the previous time ;-)






Even though it's quite obvious that the girls of Horne 52 are extremely talented and beautiful, it seems like most of the time when someone breaks out in song, and a visitor is over, this is the response:

(They are just jealous, I'm sure)










Needless to say, Living on a Prayer has become the official theme song of Horne 52. Thank you Bon Jovi! (if you have no idea what this song is, it's the only song on our music player on here) :-D

Welcome to Horne 52

Well world here is our Horne 52 blog! Katie and Lindsay thought it would be a great idea to have a blog specifically for the apartment. We will hopefully update this often. (well...Katie and Lindsay will ;) ) This is an easy way for us to update our many readers on what we are doing down here as roommates, but not fill up our personal blogs. Enjoy!
