ok... so hi... yeah.  i am pretty accepting of everything.  i take everything with a grain of salt.  but this time i just can't get over how someone else is acting. so here is the story.  no names will be disclosed.  and i know all of this information from an involved party.  all information is factual. i share a bathroom with the two girls who live next door.  one is really cool and really laid back.  the other is a total basket case.  she stopped at self-conscious, bought a diet coke, and was elected mayor.  we have been here for TWO weeks.  remember that.  that is important.  she developed a crush on this guy in another hall (who just happens to have a girlfriend).  i noticed, wasn't told mind you so don't repeat this information to anyone, and thought nothing of it.  typical "new environment" crush.  i have a couple of those myself.  but i digress.  last night she went out to a party with him.  they both drank (a lot) and the cops came to bust the party.  he got away.  she didn't.  she didn't get in trouble and the cops escorted her back to her room.  she was met here by a throng of people and questions.  once that was over with she and the aforementioned guy go into her room to talk.  all he wanted to do was apologize for the fact that she was one caught.  she was still totally loaded.  blitzed if you will.  she starts bawling and confessing her attraction to him.  he is stunned.  he knew that they had been flirting but he also thought nothing of it because she knows that he is committed to someone else.  they sit up until 4 in the morning.  he tells her that he still wants to be friends with her and would like to if that is ok with her.  she tells him that she just wants to go home and never see him again.  she can't bear to look at him because she can't have him.
			so i ask you, WHAT THE FUCK?????  we have been here for 13 days.  how do you get that attached to someone in 13 days?  how?  i mean, granted, i am a very melodramatic person, but i have never been that bad.  she comes into my room to talk to my roommate and he'll walk in to chill.  she starts to hyperventilate and runs out of the room.  he is totally willing to be friends with her and has been trying his hardest to act as if nothing has happened.  so, yeah, that is what i've had to deal with inbetween classes.  melodrama central.  that should be on my door.
		so other than that it has been a pretty normal day.  well sort of.  so, i am just standing in the hall and talking to one of the three Jens across the hall.  the girl that is known for being a stoner walks by and asks if she can use the printer.  i was fine with that.  we print out her 6 page paper.  no big deal.  i know from experience that stoners can be pretty generous people.  but i never knew to what extent until now.  she says to me, "now, if you ever need anything, feel free to ask."  i respond with, "that's cool.  we'll have a barter system."  she laughed and walked out.  i thought that was the end of it.  little did i know..... she comes to my door.  looks in and says, "for letting us use your printer do you wanna go do some nitrous with us?"  i shook my head because i was so stunned that words wouldn't even form.  she asked if i was sure and i said feebly, "thanks anyway."  i am so not used to everyone knowing that i am pretty straight edge.  i keep forgetting that no one here knows anything about me.  i relapse into my high school defenses.  i was totally stunned because i am used to everyone looking at me and thinking that i am just that uncool.  it is odd, yes i know, but i find that event reassuring.  =)
