Moving
Okay, it's Saturday night, and me and moireach have each been packing all day because she moves on Monday and I move on Wednesday, and it is MISERABLE. We're getting punchy. She just walked into my room and said, "I was just in my room, looking through bags. And I was like, "Oh, a bag of makeup and trash. Makeup and trash. Makeup and trash. Oh, and a thumb drive." Why would I keep a thumb drive in a bag of makeup and trash?"
Here is a better question: why does she keep her makeup and trash together?
ANYWAY, NOW she just walked into my room where I am... not packing and handed me a piece of paper and said, "What were we DOING when we wrote this?" Here is what the paper says, in M's handwriting:
"situations
1. beet farm
2. Dwight's bday
3. Arbor Day
4. the roof
5. bowling alley
6. Radisson
7. 06-06-06
8. Tax Day
9. New Year's
10. snow day
11. Flag Day
12. Columbus Day
13. in a car
14. job interview
15. road trip
16. empty building unit
17. warehouse
18. school
19. in the office afterhours
20. concert
21. wedding
22. hay ride
23. bathroom
24. stairwell and/or elevator
25. Steamtown Mall
26. mini-golf
27. college
28. gym
29. Olive Garden
30. Red Lobster"
Um. Okay. Clearly this is connected to Office fandom in some way, but... what? Places and times that people could do it? Why is "college" on there, though? That seems very general. I mean, I guess it IS technically a list of "situations" but SERIOUSLY, WHAT WERE WE DOING? Making a list of worst fic prompts ever?
Other things I have found today: an envelope of stickers that say "This car is a poem"; a Dundie Award with "Liz Lemon Award" written on it; $5 Canadian; a VHS tape labeled "Adventures with Candy" in my dad's handwriting (pret-ty sure that's the Strangers with Candy movie); a hardcopy of Pack Up Your Bags!; and a note M wrote me while on the phone when she had just started dating her boyfriend, which reads "He just brought up fic. Help help red alert!"
