You are a mediocre companion.

College roommate reunion continues. We've eaten bagel dogs. And cupcakes. And Chinese food. And I feel like a beached whale. But a very happy beached whale.

One of my friends has a lovely 6-year-old who made us all construction paper signs. I received these two:

You are niys

and

I like you. But BOO!

Heh heh heh.

We've also had in depth conversations about important topics facing western culture today. Of course, this means we've discussed bikini waxes. And gossiped about our sorority sisters. But here's the deal: once you've lived with three other women in a 12' by 12' room crammed with two bunk beds, two desks and two dressers? Well, you're friends for life. And there are very few topics that are off limits.

Yes, this means we also talked about hemorrhoids, the truth about marriage and random memories that some or all of us might or might not actually remember.

If you were a fly on the wall, you would have overheard gems like:

Don't you remember? You and Faith went to some soap actors' appearance on campus and one of the actors cupped your face in his hands and said, "You have the most perfect eyebrows. Don't ever change?"

And, of course, the title of this post. To be honest, I don't even remember the context - I think it had something to do with Hallmark. But no matter what? It's brilliant.

My freshman roommate "friended" me on Facebook. That's about as nostalgic as I get. :)
