  • Room related sillies

    I need to concentrate better, but I'll write this post really quick before I forget :) .

    So from my living room there is a wonderful view of the tennis courts (from my room too, I suppose, but the living room gives a slightly better point--wider view and all).  So from time to time, I'll take little breaks to hang out with my roommate, and sometimes we'll watch the tennis players or skateboarders, or whoever is on the court.  And we might occasionally laugh...maybe.  (Yay tennis karma).

    Well, generally speaking most players don't notice us.  But two guys yesterday did, and they kept looking back at us.  We had our window open since the weather outside felt nice, and one guy started to wave and talk to us.  We felt a little awkward.  Then the other guy started taking off his shirt and we felt really awkward.  (More like *covers eyes*.  I might be one of the few people on earth who aren't particularly interested in checking out people's bodies [so eww at the shirtless profile pictures, ahem, guy I blocked].  I always feel awkward when other girls admire some guy's bod, since I generally don't agree.  I have potentially severe tunnel vision, so if I like someone then I can't find myself very attracted to anything else...O_O].

    Well anyways, I guess it was awkward for my roomie since that guy wasn't attractive; but we didn't want to laugh too loud/cover our faces/eyes since the window was open.  The guys asked if we had beer (Nope!)  and then left.  Though my roommate joked and told them to bring us the beer next time.  

    I think if I ever noticed myself being watched I'd probably awkwardly try to evacuate...ASAP. 


    So a while ago, I bought a ton of Fresca thinking it would be tasty and awesome since it said it was sparkling citrus peach soda, or something.  I like peaches, I like citruses, and I like sparkling juice, so I didn't think it'd be all bad.  But they used aspartame, so it tasted weird.  So after the box was sitting in the living room for maybe a month, I decided I could give it away...but to whom? 

    So, in a HIMYM-esque manner I decided to leave it in the hallway with a sign that says it's free (re: the barrel episode).

    Well, the next day, it was gone!  I was so happy.  So I decided that the Publix iced tea that I bought could go too, since I thought I liked it, but found I didn't (raspberry flavored; I bought two, and the second was unopened, so gave that one away).  Well, after a few hours it was gone, and I was surprised to find it replaced with...

    Rooot beer! :) !  My roommate and I were really excited!  And couldn't stop laughing.  And we both really like root beer, so it was a definite win.  I left a few cans of sweet tea (I bought in excess; two 12 packs...) and we found Mountain Dew as an exchange.  Yesterday, I decided to move the root beer outside to take this picture.  I was joking with my roomie that it would be funny if they were gone before I took the pictures.  we both shrugged, and I decided to use my other camera instead of the one I originally grabbed.  But while I was switching cameras, someone swooped by and took two cans!  We couldn't stop laughing at the epic timing.

  • haha, awesome. I should have tried that while I was still living in the dorms. I always had all this candy I got for free that I ended up giving away at the end. Should have given it away your way and see if anyone would have left me something.

  • Hahaha...oh, the great fun of living in dorms.  Anonymous item trading ftw.

    I'm glad there are no dorms overlooking our tennis courts lol...it would be awful if I had embarassed myself in front of people not unlike yourself with my uber-fail tennis skills.

  • HAHAHA thats hilarious. and thats awesome how whoever took your stuff "paid" for it! mmm...root beer :]

  • @Roadlesstaken - 

    lol I left a big stack of red Pixie Stix out there, and they were gone in less than 10 minutes...But then I left 2 more out, and they still haven't been taken :( (a few days on the windowsill, not even the floor).

    One of my other roommates is on our school's tennis team actually. And she laughs at us every time she sees us at the window sill >_>. She says she's just waiting to see us play and we can borrow her rackets even. I think I'm usually pretty cautious when doing something potentially embarrassing. >_>
