My 24th Birthday

My birthday was this past Sunday the 17th =) I threw myself a “board game party”! My boyfriend and I blew up thirty black and purple balloons and tossed them around my apartment. We also made about a million cookies, cut up veggies and cheese. We played the Mad Magazine game and Disney Scene-it. Then my best friend in Fort Wayne showed up about an hour early. He brought me a birthday cake! The three of us played Sorry Sliders(my new favorite game) until others started to arrive.

In total there were six of us. It was a good number for playing games, not too many, not too few. We played Password which is apparently a bit like Charades but you can say words that are synonyms. Once the hat was empty we played Seven Deadly Sins. The goal of the game is to gather a chip for every sin by doing dares from the cards when you land on that sin. Always an entertaining game =)

I had a great birthday! Once my friends stopped saying how lame I was for wanting to play games I think they all had fun. They also enjoyed popping the balloons to make me scream :/

Nice to meet you

Hi! My name is Andréa Mustaine and for the rest of today I’m 23 years old. This is my second year at Saint Francis and I’m working on my degree in Elementary Education. I am a transfer student and this is the third college I’ve attended, however the last one I will attend!

I have an apartment in Fort Wayne with my two cats. Willy is 17 ½ years old and spoiled rotten. I’ve had him since he was a kitten. Oz is about 5 and similarly spoiled. They are both black and white kitties. You will likely hear a bit about them because they are my day to day entertainment. Plus I might be a crazy cat lady in the making?

My little brothers are the most important people in my life. I have a 14 year old brother that lives in Tennessee with his father, he’s in 8th grade. His name is Samuel or Sam; I’m the only one that gets away with calling him Sammy. He is really tall! He is Mr. Athlete. He plays football, basketball and even volleyball. He got to play at halftime for the Tennessee Volunteers this past season and said it was the best time of his life. He can tell you everything imaginable about sports and goes to so many training camps and is on so many teams, I got lost long ago trying to keep track.

My baby brother just turned 10, is in 4th grade and he lives in Fort Wayne with his father. His name is Joe; I usually call him Baby Joe. He can read so fast and so far above his age it amazes me and everyone around him. He loves to read, if he could do nothing but read then he’d be the happiest kid on earth. He doesn’t like school though because he gets made fun of and bullied all the time for being different. He is artistic, observant, sensitive and extremely intelligent. His personality is a lot like mine and we get along wonderfully. You will also likely hear a lot about my brothers in the next weeks.

I enjoy art, here is a link to my artwork and you will see why I’m not an art major ;) Still it’s a passion of mine and always will be. I also love to read anything and everything I get my hands on. One of the reasons I applied to work at the library is my love of books. I currently work at the school library so feel free to stop by and introduce yourself in person.

I’ve lived in California half my life and throughout Indiana for the rest. My favorite colors are black, purple and hot pink. Favorite music is the Beatles and Nine Inch Nails. I have a small obsession with Eeyore. My favorite food is Tortellini. Favorite ice cream flavor is Vanilla. If I had 5000 pennies I’d make an amazing design or maybe a tower. Now you know more than you ever wanted to know about me =)
