College is a magical place. You get to be on hiatus from doing real grownup things, and all that is expected of you is that you become marginally proficient in a specific skill set. Unless you are going to Grad school or Med school or something. Then you have to be more awesome than Batman.
I have met some truly hilarious people at college, and some of them have been reading this blog! Hooray for them! Shout out to Earth Goddess. Also, a shout out to Alex who said, in all seriousness, that he would take off his pants if I gave him a shout out. He offered twice... A shout out to my very excellent roommate who understands that I am a little bit crazy, because she is a little bit crazy too.
Also, a shout out to Patrick for calling me at 8:30 last night when I was frantically finishing my Lab Report and making me think that my ENTIRE LIFE had been a lie. The conversation went roughly like this:
Me: Hello?
Patrick: Helen I'm so disappointed in you.
Me: Patrick?? What's up?
Patrick: You're a liar. It's not a dragon, it's a griffin.
Me: What?
Patrick: Your Welsh flag (I have a Welsh flag. I mentioned it in an earlier post). It's Welsh. It's not a dragon, it's a griffin.
Me: No, it's a dragon.
Patrick: It's a griffin Helen.
Me: No, it's a dragon. It has to be a dragon. If it isn't a dragon, my ENTIRE LIFE has been a lie.
Patrick: It's a griffin.
Me: Are you telling me that my entire life has been a LIE?? It can't be a griffin.
Patrick: It's a griffin.
(this goes on for a while. I become more and more anguished...)
Me: LOOK IT UP ON THE INTERNET IT HAS TO BE A DRAGON!! PLEASE DON'T LET MY LIFE BE A LIE!! (I really was this desperate...)
Patrick: (presumably looking up the Welsh flag on the Internet)...
Me: Patrick?!?!
Patrick: It is a dragon.
Me: I told you! Next time look things up on the Internet before you try to convince me that my entire life has been a lie!
Patrick: Sorry (doesn't sound even a tiny bit sorry for the mental turmoil he caused me).
Me: I have to finish this lab report.
Patrick: Bye.
So, you see how random conversations in college can be...
There are many more awesome people out there. As hilarious stories occur to me, I will tell them. Thank you everyone who is reading this blog and making me feel loved! The rest of you should be reading this. It's insane brilliance may rub off on you and bring you closer to enlightenment.
