A Guide to Not Making Friends in Your New, Cool, Museum Studies Program.
(by Claire Tarlson and Katie Tiehen)
1. At lunchtime, sit down with a nice, friendly looking girl that you recognize from class.
2. Immediately mention how you think Daniel Radcliffe is hot.
3. Spend three whole minutes defending your choice to call high school aged boys "hot."
4. Move on to the topic of Harry Potter podcasts and talk about the casting drama for the final three movies. Demonstrate a creepy grasp of the inner workings of the Harry Potter contract negotiations, the explanation for which obviously being that we listen to the podcasts.
5. Try and save ourselves by making fun of Grey's Anatomy. Fail when the girl we're talking to obviously doesn't watch the show or care that we like to trash talk it.
6. Dig our hole deeper by talking about how the older son on Weeds is also totally hot.
At this point, the person you've sat down with will obviously get up and walk away, laughing nervously and claiming to have to make a phone call, because you've brain-freezed and can not figure out a way to get off the topic of teenage boys and trashy television. You will feel silly for a couple minutes, but quickly forget the embarassment after you've retreated to a quiet corner to watch the most recent episode of Extras on Katie's laptop. Who needs new friends when you have Ricky Gervais?
