On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have realized that I always know when my coworker is just past her period, because she comes to work without nail polish on Monday -- she goes to the mikvah on Sunday, I guess, and there's no nail polish in the mikvah!

Ann, that's a ferret.

Her roommate kept having sex with her boyfriend while my friend was in the room.

That happened to me once. This roommate was named Gary, his girlfriend was Carrie, and the story works better if you say the names in his very heavy Lawn Guyland accent.

Anyway, Gary and Carrie had the habit of hanging out in the dorm room. One evening, while I was lounging on the bed reading, I noticed that the rest of the room was quite dark. I looked around, and Gary and Carrie were on Gary's bed. Both down to their underwear and clearly not about to stop there.

With as much nonchalance as I could manage, I said I was heading downstairs (to the vending machine) to get a Coke. Without missing a beat, Gary said, "Can you bring me back a Sprite?"

I decided to take the scenic route to the vending machine and got back to the room 45 minutes later. By then, they'd finished.

I've had sex with someone while friends were sleeping in the same hotel room, but (1) they were sound asleep, and (2) we were careful to be quiet about it.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I had the same college roommate for three years. She was a highschool friend who started off fairly nice and sane, and transformed into SuperBigot by the end of our Junior year. When she started making snide comments about Indians (subcontinent) in front of my friend from India and lesbians in front of my lesbian friends, I moved out. According to her, this made me a bad person with no sense of tolerance. I decided I could live with that.

I agree with megan. I was never asleep.

Our wings are not tired.

I can't imagine having sex while someone other than my partner is in proximity. Hell, I don't want to do it if someone else is in the guest room. Then again, I'm nearly 40, an old prude.
