i could tell the story of how i met you. but it isn't much of a story because we just showed up to move into the same tiny dorm room. <3 <3 i was in galesburg today.
Hot damn, man. What is it with you and Galesburg lately? Missing the hicks, the trains, and the smell of dead pigs? You've been passing through so often you should drop in on T. Show up on her doorstep one night and be like, "Yo, buy me dinner at Landmark!"
And what are you talking about? The story of how we met is AWESOME! That first conversation was pure hilarity. Do you realize we've known each other for nine years? Nine years! Next September it will be ten! Can you believe it? I can't believe it.
wowzerz. 9 years. um, do you mean the "rainbows" conversation? because i was thinking about that but didn't know if it counted because it was over the phone.
I always count it. It was the first interaction we ever had, it was our introduction to each other so I consider that the first time we "met." Also that story is way better then you and I just showing up and moving into a room. Although, the fact that your dad was appalled that my mother allowed me to go out in public wearing a *gasp* strappy black tank top is pretty funny too.
Angela and I were on the same floor freshman year. She was a couple of rooms down and across from me, and was rooming with Becky, who was a former model with long dark hair and huge eyes. My roommate was Rachel, a short and busty girl from Pennsylvania with a boyfriend who'd call at 6 a.m. to argue with her. So while Angela and I passed in the halls often and knew who each other was, we didn't really talk until her birthday, in early October.
Her friends in the cafeteria had made her a chocolate cake with purple frosting (no idea of the flavor), and she came over and offered some to me. I went to her room and ate it, and we talked for the first time. About a week later, myself and three other girls had a little "girl talk" session with her (snarking about our bitchier friends, dishing on boys, etc.) and she and I were pretty much inseparable from that point. She ended up being one of two friends of mine who came to my grandfather's funeral with me, and shortly thereafter, threw me a surprise birthday party.
People talk about how it's not healthy to become superattached to someone over such a short period of time, but...Ange is my soulmate (not in a romantic sense...more in the sense that we complete each other in a friendshiply way). When you find that, it doesn't require six months or a year to be true. It simply is.
I am in complete agreement with you. Friendships are unique. When you meet someone you connect with you don't need to give it time to gestate. If you get along then you get along and that's that.
I laughed because my freshman year roomate and I had the exact same exchange. We figured out we'd been put together because we both said on the housing application that we wanted to be English majors. Ours was another one of those fated pairings. Jay and I would have probably roomed together every year had he not transferred out.
