Yunnie and Katie and I were getting ready for a Halloween party.
Yunnie was doing Katie's hair to look like it was from the 1940s.
The Avengers played in the background while we were putting outfits and hairdos together.
This is us.
From the outside, this is how we might be seen: Three girls (sometimes accompanied by the fourth roommate, April) who don sweatpants and curl up on the couch to watch action movies or chick flicks or dramatic tragedies, and swoon over the many attractive men of Hollywood—the ones we all say we wish we could have, but do not actually desire. Would someone watching us understand the sarcastic comments tossed about through the air? Would they laugh with us as we quote any film or video clip that happens to come to our minds? Would someone feel comfortable in our presence, or left out of a particularly entertaining joke?
Within our group, the three of us, there is an understanding that we can say whatever comes to the forefront of our overcrowded minds and the others will play along. If I said "Dost thy mother know thou wearest her drapes?" then Katie would respond with "Phil? His first name is Agent." And we would laugh. Hysterically. And we would continue to quote The Avengers until we moved on in conversation or couldn't think of more one-liners. Or until a line reminded us of a quote from another movie or TV show.
And so it goes.
This is college, year 3, with my best friends.
