Does this word describe date night? Yes. Yes it does. But I'll get to that in a moment. For date night we played Just Dance 3 and had a creative sugar cookie contest. Simple, but insanely fun. I had the pleasure of making the best sugar cookies known to man with Monica Tillman (at I'm Actually a Girl). We made a fire-breathing-circus-dragon.

Brett (at White and Blue) and Emily went all serious and made Rocky Balboa climbing his "stairs".

Bryant and Erica made a silly kitten and whale involved in an impossible relationship.

Shortly thereafter two of my other roommates joined us with their dates and were the judges for our competition. This is where the scavenging comes in. As soon as our cookie presentation to the judging panel we all turned into animalistic scavengers trying to suck every extra brownie point from the judges. And who won? That's right. Monica and I. With our amazing dragon that even had a scaly texture. Ok, not really but ours was still the best. I mean who doesn't love a scaly circus dragon?

On a side note, here are Peter and Amanda playing Magic Carpet Ride the previous night.
