Next week, I’ll be in Texas. First, I’ll travel to Austin to see Robdawg, my DC roommate, and then I’ll head up to Fort Worth to see my college roommie and bestie, Em.
I’ve lived alone for a long time now, but I have great memories of my roommates and some not-so-great memories of others. For instance, one nameless college roommate couldn’t wait to show me a bunch of new clothes. When I asked her where she got it all, she informed me that she shoplifted. Yes folks, this was a roommate at a supposed Christian school!
My favorite roommate memory of all time involves Emily and the AXΩ sorority house. At the time, I had the top bunk and she (who could sleep through anything) was on the bottom.
One early morning the phone rang, and me being the light sleeper instantly jumped up and swung my legs over the edge of the bed. Just as I flung myself off the side, Emily popped up right between my legs. She ended up giving me a ride for about 10 seconds before we both realized what was going on and then toppled over.
We laughed our butts off, and I had bruises for a week – but it’s still one of my favorite memories!
I can picture that…. lol
