Like last night. We had a fire drill, and Kerry called me, and I spoke to him. As my roommate (who I get along with REALLY well) and I get into the elevator with a couple other girls on our floor, I say "Oh yeah...and by the way, Gio died." Kerry knew it was a joke, my roommate knew it was a joke, but the other two girls in the elevator didn't. One of the girls gives me a really weird look, like "WTF!?!" And I explain that I have my boyfriend's pet fish, his name is Giovanni and has been for nearly 2 years. And he's really not dead, I was joking. My roommate and I got a good chuckle out of it.
Another thing you can do to confuse someone...
I have this really awesome Starbucks double-walled, insulated cold drink cup. It looks like this
See? Isn't it cool looking? It looks like a regular Starbucks cup, but it's hard plastic. Last week, I went to Starbucks with my cup on Thursday and Saturday. The same guy was at the register both days, so the second time, he knew my cup (btw, he likes the cup too). On Saturday, the person making the drinks freaked out about how cool it is. Because not only is it hard plastic, it's also double-walled (which means HER hands didn't get cold while making the drink), the straw is hard plastic and the top SCREWS on, instead of pops on. So I was hoping that, today being Thursday, he'd be there again and know my cup. No such luck. This old lady that works there like, all the time was there instead. And because the line was long, she was taking orders while people were in line. I gave her my drink order (iced caramel macchiato FTW) and asked her to put it in my cup. "Oh, honey, I don't think we're allowed to refill that cup." I replied that it had been done twice before, and tapped on the cup to show her it's not the malleable plastic that the usual cups are. "Oh, ok, just tell the person at the register that you get 10 cents off." Okie dokie.
So I get up to the register, give him my order, and mention that I brought my own cup. He asked where it was, I told him it's the insulated Starbucks cup. The look on his face was funny. He didn't get it. The old lady had to explain it to him. And ask the drink went down the line (there were like, three people fixing drinks in an assembly line), one person asks if this is a hot cup. No...it's a cold cup. Does it look like the hot cups you guys use? No? Okay then. So I get my drink, after a bit of confusion all around for everyone but me.
And another way to confuse people (that's much shorter)...knitting in class where the teacher is awesome and says "You're too young to knit!" I told him I'm not, and that it's actually pretty cool and keeps me occupied and stops me from fidgeting. Now I think he wants to learn, too.
So, about my roommate (since I'm sure you're all wondering)...first time I've had an awesome roommate. She and I had never met before move-in day, and had only passed messages on Facebook back and forth. Who knew we'd get along so well? We've only known each other for two weeks, and already can finish each other's sentences and say what the other is thinking. We like the same shows, the same movies (she LOVES Disney, so she's automatically awesome in my book), same music. Why couldn't we have been roommates sooner?
I also know two people on my floor (which is amazing, considering this is the smallest of all dorms on campus- 60 rooms in total). One of them is a guy that was active in Hillel last year and I had no idea he would be living in the same dorm, let alone across the hall! We'll hold conversations with our doors open, sitting at our desks.
Um...so yeah...I'll leave out the whole Hillel Annoying Girl thing until another entry.
