Ode to Awesome Roommates
Because sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do just to get through the day.
Read top to bottom.
Emails on September 4th, 2008.
Me:
Do you like Brooklyn Pale Ale? I got some last night thinking it would be a nice easy beer to drink. GROSS. I almost puked.
So you can have it if you like it.
Otherwise we’ll just leave them in the fridge because I guess it’s the right thing to have Brooklyn beer in the fridge, you know?
Caroline:
well, i’ll have to taste-test a few, of course, to make sure it was a good batch and that I still like them.
If nothing else though, it can keep the Coors Light company.
Caroline again:
Do you purposefully choose Courier New as your signature email typeface?
Or just for today maybe?
Me:
Yeah I changed it to courier new for a couple weeks.
Next stop on this Type Train: Verdana.
Caroline:
I just looked for you on facebook, but you weren’t there.
Me:
What’s Facebook?
Caroline:
it’s for former pageant queens and runners-up.
Me:
Why the hell am I not on it, then?
Caroline:
that’s what I’ve been SAYIN’!
Me:
For my profile pic, can you take a Holga picture of me in my pageant dress with my sache and crown?
Caroline:
yes. i promise promise.
Me:
Standing in front of a cream satin backdrop, please.
Caroline:
cream satin looks best with your skin.
Me:
That’s what the former Miss. North Dakota from 1987 told me.
Caroline:
well, she was right for your skin tone.
and a beauty in her day.
she has taken a turn for the worse (beauty-wise) lately, though I don’t like to be the one to gossip.
Me:
Yeah ever since that (sigh) botox-gone-wrong job…she just hasn’t been the same.
And her 10 kids with a truck driver. I mean what’s she trying to say?
Caroline:
her as a child…
Me:
Yes. Yes. that’s her.
What a sad sad story.
NOW I remember you telling me you posted this. We’re really funny.
