Google

Following are some awesome things my roommates and I have googled in recent history. And yes, we do keep a list. We keep it in our "what the deuce is it?" basket. And yes, we do have one of those.

Anyways, stuff we google:

1. "pastel colored mints that you eat at baby showers and melt in your mouth"
2. "babies falling asleep on puppies"
3. "how to make plain brown rice more exciting"
4. "beating someone with a rusty hatchet Faulkner"
5. "song when you see annoying people in movie"
6. "worst Chinese singer ever"
7. "william turner emerging from ocean with bandanna and huge scar on his chest"
8. "does every diocese have an exorcist?"
9. "can you microwave a hotdog until it's cooked?"

Roommate Ruminations (Unrelated to chewing cud)

Today I have been productive.

I added the word "promulgate" to my list of favorite verbs. (This is a word document I've made that I use when I write papers in order to evade the "to be" plague... and to give my fiance another reason to make fun of me.)

I wrote my favorite names on a classroom chalkboard so as to see how they look in print. And so as to enjoy writing on a chalkboard.

I fried penne.

To reward myself after a hard day's work, I decided to write a post in honor of my roommate. Where to begin?

1. There was the time when I noticed her standing in front of the mirror with her mouth open. After enough time had elapsed, and she seemed no less entranced, I asked, "What are you doing?" She responded in a voice laced with wonder and profundity, "How does food fit down there?"

2. Her philosophical bent has manifested itself in a variety of ways. Once she pointed out, "You cannot marry yourself." This changed my life forever. So much for ever finding a perfect spouse.

3. She once googled "William Turner emerging from the ocean with a bandana and a huge scar on his chest." Enough said.

4. Perhaps by this point you may think she's a bit nutty. You ain't heard nothing yet: She actually thinks that Ben Barnes is more attractive than William Moseley. What. That's like saying a cat is because when up tree shiver to. There is seriously no logical coherence there.

5. It is (Now do you see why I need my favorite verbs word document?) also worth mentioning that she suggests wine as a substitute for milk in cereal.

Indeed, these briefs recognitions of the fascinating person that is my roommate cannot do her justice. Her awesomeness, grandeur, fuzzy-ducky-ness, and vast wisdom escape the confines of human language. I must abandon further attempts.

Furthermore, I have quoted her many times on sticky notes and posted them on my wall. Take that for what it's worth. Which by the way, is a lot. It's worth a lot.

I beseech you to duly note this. All of it.
