scene: the campus center.

a short story about things not to say when talking to yourself.

jen(n) and I were sitting in the campus center stage area. jen(n) happened to be writing a card to her friend !Samuel!. Last week, we had gone to the bookstore in search of a card for him that didn't convey the message "i want you" since he is just an old friend from high school. Given the minimal card selection, jen(n) was forced to get one with a big caveman on the front and a cow chained up with the caption "the real truth behind whipped cream." We added some additional art to the front and jen(n) starting writing. At one point, jen(n) wrote "you should come visit me in boston sometime" because that is where we will be d-term (yay!). To which I said "...and hump" cause I wanted her to write that as a joke. She continued writing, and almost wrote "and hump" without thinking. We had a good laugh and started making up stories (which we do best) about how he could come visit but couldn't stay overnight (site rules!). We joke about that and jen(n) said "i'll tell him, we just have to be quiet, ok" to which I said "say 'Man, do you have a silencer for that thing'." Needless to say, we laughed for a while and contemplated convincing tech news to accept a late valentine in which we could write that. Then we thought, hmmm... 'Ruminations' is random next week, we could submit that. Haha.

To the point, as jen(n) was walking away to leave, she said something to which I said "Do you have a silencer for that thing.... and I mean your mouth!" and she mumbles under her breath "that's not what you said last night" in such a manner that the two guys walking out in front of her can hear and give her some weird looks.

it was pretty funny. the end.

"...something about getting the friction on.. i don't know."
