Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
My roommate freshman year bonded with another girl in the dorm. The two of them would hang out in our room ... never really understood why ... and it usually involved a lot of noise early in the morning. I was NOT a morning person and kept asking them to keep it down. Finally, at the start of the second semester, I was able to move to a single. The other girl already had a single, but wouldn't HEAR of moving in with my roommate because her boyfriend came down every weekend and she had to spend the entire weekend with him.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oh, re: my freshman dorm hell - there's a positive side I have to share.
After I transferred to UW-Madison, I did some writing for The Daily Cardinal, one of the campus papers. One Pride Week, I wrote an article about my dorm hell, the gist of which was how homophobia hurts straight people too. After it came out, several guys I knew thanked me and told me that similar things had happened to them too.
And then years later I put some of my writings for the Cardinal up on a web page. A woman I knew online showed the article to her shrink. He then showed it to another patient of his who had a gay son. The patient with the gay son really liked my article - she said how she never understood homophobia and what her son went through until she read it, and it really helped her come to terms with her son being gay.
So when I think of the hell I went through in the dorm, I also think of the people I helped by telling the story....

If you are looking to buy a car and want to make an impression with the family at Easter.
Heh. I was just at that museum a year ago. That car wasn't there, but the Batmobile was, as well as the Dukes of Hazard car and a bunch of other cool Hollywood cars.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I always knew running was dangerous.
