So, I'm trying to remember ways in which you were selfish as a roommate, and I'm coming up empty. I thought you were a great roommate. I don't remember anything about living with you that wasn't fun and joyful and great. Claro, there would have to be some things, since it couldn't have been perfect, but I sure can't think of them now.
What I do remember are some good, good times. I remember sitting on our beds, singing together while you played guitar, and going up to Bountiful with you when you went through the temple for the first time, and singing "Oh Divine Redeemer" in what seemed like every church in Cedar City. I remember the day we won the electric train (I think about that every Christmas when I set it around my tree), and teasing Dr. Shanklin together in Opus, and the black and white poster of that candid shot of various SUU students, and how we would "white-in" ourselves and our friends (with white-out) because none of us were in the picture properly. I remember the collage of pictures that we put on our bedroom door-all pictures of us, being cheesey.
Those are some of the memories I have. I remember that being a hard-ish year for me, because I felt like so many people were moving on with their lives (Jeri on the east coast, you going on a mission, many of my high school friends getting married) and I didn't feel like I was. But, even more than that, I remember laughing. As I look back over my "college roommate collection", there are probably three years that really stand out as my favorites from a roommate standpoint. The year that we roomed together is one of them.
I'm with Charlotte here - I was trying to think of all the "selfish stuff" you did - and I kept drawing a blank. I finally recalled an issue with you and Melinda - (and Rob) but if my memory serves (which is certainly a debatable point) it had as much to do with Rob being a jerk and Melinda being insecure in their relationship as it did iwth you...
My main (negative) recollections of being in the apartment with ya'll have to do with ME being self-absorbed and "emotionally challenged." Luckily, most of my roomie-days are filled with love laughter and fun memories. I also LOVE the memories of that Christmas Char won the train. WE had the greatest tree that year! (even if we did have to tie it up with the blind strings to get it to stay up...) I have pictures of us all dressed in our Sunday best in front of that tree (and train) I still have the box of ornaments from that tree - the multi colored balls with each roomies name written on it in glitter paint. I hang them on my tree every year. - unfortunayelt, I lost a few this year - my little Bry like to eat them...)
I also remember that big group date we had (like 24 people) crammed into our little apartment. (I have some fun pictures of that one too - including me and Melinda with "train wreck" (food in the open mouth) pictures). I probably remember these things because I have the pictures to refresh my memory.)
remember that picture we had hanging in the kitchen ? I can't remember the name of the movie - had the picture of those 5 (or 7) guys... I'll have to grab my photo album and l0ok it up - I have a picture of Amy kissing the poster... - I hate this - the name is right on the tip of my tounge! Anyway - Just remembered - Young Guns was the movie
I also still have a tape of you singing - with Charlotte. I don't know if these are the right names, but my two fav's were "I can't help the way I don't feel" and ... oh man - another BLANK! I tell you - my brain is like a sieve! Myabe it will come to me later - it was about someone who dies. (was it you guitar teacher maybe... or maybe a song your guitar teacher wrote about someone they loves who died? If you know hwat I'm talking about, tell me the words - I'm sure if you get me started.... oh wiat - it came back... "Friends they come, in ever shape and size"
Anyway - I'm glad you can recognize in what ways you were selfish - so that you can grow and move upward and onward, and I'm glad that none of us remember any of it. Isn't it nice how it all works out:)
Love ya!
wow - maybe I should proof read BEFORE I post things - what a whole lot of typos - oh well - I think you'll get the main idea!
As I was re-reading, I had fun memories come back to my mind about Char roating through her cookbook - in alphabetical order... in order to try new things. Fun fun memories. We really do need to get together and look at old pictures and have some laughs!
Someday...
Now that you bring them up, I do remember all those fun times. That was my funnest year in school ever!! I Loved you guys so much.
the thing I am remembering is with Rob and I borrowed an eyeliner from Melinda and really liked it and never gave it back! on purpose!! How rude!!
The rest of the fun I do remember! I even remember putting tape around our whole room to divide it!! Do you remember that?
I wish we could all get together and go out to lunch or something. My mom did that with her roomies from BYU every year. They were so close. Could we do that?
She probably stole all the men and ate all the good food.
that is what she does at my house!
Interesting list! and, sad but true, I am with ya on #45
I'm totally game for lunch sometime, if you're serious about that. The three of us should get together on e-mail and figure out when we can make that happen.
Oh-and I still rotate through my cookbooks (although not alphabetically--oh no, I have a MUCH more involved system now), I still rotate my clothes, I rotate the routes I take to go jogging, and I even rotate the CDs I listen to (often). I tell you, I've arranged a life for myself where I need never make another decision. Agency? Who needs Agency?
:)
I'm game - let's do it! (and luckily for eric, he won't be borrowing many of charlotte's things, so he won't have to worry about putting them back in the the "proper rotational order"
(I suspect I should buy a package of Depends for the occasion, as I expect more laughing than eating...)
