I was once again haggled, harassed, and even propositioned by the women of the Blue House on the corner of Belleview and Boston Avenue. This time their motives were to be featured in Seven Questions. I turned down their sexual advances, but did invite them to answer Seven Questions. Erin Harrington, Sarah Conlon, Emily Goodman, and Hillary Dunn are housemates and friends. All readers might recognize Dunn as the point guard of the women's basketball team, but you older cats might recognize the other three because they were members of the team last year. While Dunn finished her career in a Tufts uniform, Harrington, Conlon, and Goodman decided to play their senior seasons in the less stressful intramural leagues. While the furniture is quite comfortable, the kindness they extend to random vagrants who want to crash in their living room is even warmer. I caught up with these four fighting over the last beer in the refrigerator, so naturally Seven Questions followed.



1. Three of you left the NESCAC to compete in the intramural program, is the competition any stiffer than the Connecticut College team you lost to, two seasons ago?

As Coach Sheldon said earlier this year, some people are just meant to be intramural all-stars. Something you, Elliott, have no chance at.



2. Jumbo is the school mascot; does the Blue House have its own mascot?

Well we do have a particular blow-up doll, Dick (pictured above), who has been with us since sophomore year. He's hanging from a closet, and has been known to wear clothing people have left at our house. When we first bought him, he wasn't quite "all there", but we've taken care of that.



3. Sarah, when are you going to hook up with my cousin?

Never -- any blood relative of yours is probably infected too. (We know it's more than "just a rash")



4. Since three of you stopped playing ball, did you find anything better to do with your time this winter?

We're all 21 now, so we've been out and about. We've also made some new friends, Trista, Joe, and Simon.



5. As graduation approaches and you prepare to leave Tufts, what is the one thing you will miss most?

Emily: "NO turkey" at the campi

Erin: sketchy guys at Nick's

Sarah: The Expresso's Delivery Car that whistles and neighs at pedestrians

Hillary: Lucia, the hot sandwich lady



6. Now that basketball is over for all of you in the house, how do you plan to keep in stellar shape?

Our motto has always been, "Fight the Bulge, F*** more."



7. Are you going to have a ceremony at the end of this year to remember the Blue House? If so, what are you going to do?

Clean it, something we haven't done in two years. (If you come visit, watch out for the scum under the toilet -- IT'S ALIVE!)
