As graduation nears...(cue that vitamin c song about graduation...trickling tears)
Stepping away from the hateful "roommate is a gross slob" series, I'll post the you do me if i do you sentimental friendship survey.
1. I'll respond with something random about you.
2. I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
3. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me.
4. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
5. I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.
6. I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you.
7. If I do this for you, you must post this on your journal.
From Beca:
1. I have several grossly inappropriate ones, but I am going to go with: you have never seen Grease!
2. Conan O'Brien, and the Shins
3. can I use ass burger again? wait, wait, okay: my atkins diet, the attack of the alien ANTS!
4. you walking into our room at warren with your mom and me sitting on the edge of my bed (I tried to get up early to be all welcoming when you got there, I did, really!) and hearing you reading the welcome sign and saying something to your mom in japanese.
5. I want to say a panda bear but that is only because they are stereotypically asian in my head. I am going to say some sort of bear, but a very very small bear, perhaps a baby bear?
6. was I like you thought I would be, when you first met me?
To Beca:
1. i am not scared of your big boobs.
2. manu chau (sp?) and cake! movie: pride & prejudice, i think you introduced me to this heavenly wonder. (and because we wasted a lot of productivity just watching 5 hrs of p&p.)
3. eavesdropping on not-so-hot lesbian sex, thinking that a dilapadated cardboard box made an excellent coffee table, (this is for meg,dev, and u: seeking solice in satc), 2 yrs joined at the hips, thanks to you we all have slight speech impediments in the form of questiony cadences.
4. me walking into the room and waking you up, i think you were wearing boxers. and you tried to be very cheerful. did my mom hug you? i was impressed you had already settled in nicely and you had a whole rack of vhs movies...yet oddly there was no tv or vcr in the room.
5. sloth. haha is that mean? i mean you like to sleep, as do i. we did a lot of that. besides, sloths get bad raps, have you seen one? they're pretty cute. maybe a sloth with some spice and sass. a salsa dancing sloth!
6. response to your #6: no, i thought you were going to be puerto rican.
6. why are you secretive and reluctant to opening up?
To Agnes:
1. you are one classy lady, agi.
2. world music, new age-y dido/techo-ish? (this is what i remember from the ca mix you made freshman yr), classical maybe yo-yo ma, and old bw movies
3. phone sex with korean businessmen, getting kate to sign us in to lecture, "the room smells like sex"
4. for some reason i remember your flat yellow bed and i thought the yellow blanket was cool because it reminded me of this retro 70s blanket i had at my old house in monterey park. according to my journal entry around 9/24/02: you were "sweet but never around".
5. swan
6. how do you balance 500 different things?? you work multiple jobs, have a buttload of very difficult classwork (you got really unlucky with those anal ir courses), make tuesday night dinner to feed 15 ppl, spend time with friends, play violin, paint, AND keep a bf!! how do you stay sane in that whirl wind, woman?!
To Emily:
1. you always laugh really loud when watching tv by yourself and i secretly laugh at you.
2. kelly clarkson and your unabashed love of cheesy pop and cheesy movies. swallowed in the sea!!!
3. nipple flash and laughing so hard for so long that i thought we'd die of a heart attack, miltons!!!, freshly ground honey roasted peanut butter from whole foods, (why is 90% of our insiderness related to food?), ooo remember that random jake ivory's night--we just went the two of us! & getting rejected by tequila rain for sneakers, that fake wine tasting orchard and the fat hog, um crazy binge-eater and anything related to grossness, severe toilet issues, the foot-long (guiness record-breaker?), egg and brocoli farts, the multiple treks of death after overshopping at tjs, gloating about your parallel parking skills and then immediately overheating the car, being really cocky about our halloween door--"i'm going to give the shuffle to my bro for xmas", having to intervene as master of freezer organizing, hoarding frozen fish, permanent lung damage from the dust tent, curling up like a dog in my usual place at the foot of your bed...i can go on and on, i should save stuff for an end of the yr good-bye card right?
4. so we weren't friends until last yr apparently in my mind haha jk, but i have photographic evidence that we were good friends since sophomore yr, i have alzeheimers ok so dont persecute me. i told you most of my 1st memories: "emily is from mass & i rarely see her."--journal entry 9/24/02. but here is another one, it's more of my incorrect/confused 1st impressions. i thought you were bff with sarah because i got confused when ppl were talking about the 2 friends from ohio. so i mixed you up with sam, thinking the 2 ohio grls were roommates. (this was all corrected like a day later but in my mind the first few days i thought this) and i thought wow grls from ohio are really tall with long legs. ive always been jealous of your long legs. o i also thought you were a feminist and i thought your mom was like one of those active socialite women because you and rachel went to a fancy chocolate benefit. basically, all of freshmen yr, i thought you were someone completely different.
5. a squirrel. i still remember that one pic i took of you ravishing that bread soph yr in our core house room for rach's bday party. you look like a really really hungry monster squirrel.
6. i still think you are super nice, though i'm glad you occasionally cave into the base human instinct of bashing ppl--but, how do you have such a pure heart and how can you be so selfless? you're always thinking about other ppl and making an effort to make everyone happy.
To Meghan: (you didn't comment, this is preemptive)
1. when you are a publishing tycoon, can i be a bum in your hampton's summer house?
2. sufijan or however you spell it, queen, weezer!!, puppet movies, the notebook because you look like rachel mcadams, sex and the city
3. the treacherous journey to dunkin donuts, omg! lugging 500 lbs luggage from oxford to london, being afraid of scabies in sketchy hostels, trying to use a phone card in paris, the bod and dying in it, your crush on sir spittle, always being the 2 to share beds because we're the short ones, painful interventions, mutual love of sour candies, holes, imagining you pass that homeless/drug dealer hangout on a weekly basis, benjamin brandon's creepiness & love for you, you offending mike & his christianity, being able to go back and forth from your room to mine in pjs, there's bunch from oxford and warren yrs, i wish i kept a diary. awful awful sol azteca, your bday cake before we left freshmen yr( wasnt it like a cupcake or a donut accompanied by a tropical drink?) 100 days til grad & your pukiness.
4. My first memory of you is when a bunch of grls were sitting in the hallway of 12b, you were talking about going to these parties with your fysop friends and i thought you were this crazy party girl.
5. a little brown mouse. (note: not rat, a mouse is cuter--ex. all disney movies)
6. i've always wondered.. i dont know, this one is the hardest for everyone. how did you master your personable chit-chat skills?
1. I'll respond with something random about you.
2. I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
