Roommates

I have the world's most wonderful roommates. Sorry to brag, but it is true. One roommate in particular always brings joy to my otherwise mediocre college existence. She says the most random, but gut bustingly funny things. (Note: I recently tore the cartilage on the left side of my rib cage so I could quite literally bust a gut or rib from laughing at the things she says). I try to explain our humorous interludes, but I always forget what she says, so I've decided to start blogging them as daily (or weekly or whenever I remember) Jessi-isms and provide background story so that all may partake of the delight that they bring to my life.

Jessi-ism #1
-Last semester, Jessi did not have a boyfriend so when she was feeling particularly lonely and in need of a good cuddle, she would shout for the whole apartment to hear, "I just want to be spooned!"

#2 -Today was just going really crappy for Jessi so one of our other roomies, Brittney, bought her a slinky and her favorite brand of chapstick to cheer her up. I decided to contribute a freshly baked pan of brownies. So when she got home we all ate a brownie and Jessi made the brilliant plan to put nutella on the brownies. Can I just say this woman is a genius? Anyway, Amy comes home and is delighted at the prospect of a heart attack on a plate when Jessi adds,
"Nutella on brownies, this is only for a crisis! Unless I can't carry around my year supply with me, I eat it and take it with me all year. This is productive, not frivilous!"

As an added bonus, I must mention my other incredible roomies. Brittney, like myself is painfully addicted to toaster streudels and cake/brownie batter. Amy is just adorable in any endeavor she pursues. Lindsey has such an incredible outlook on life and I admire her spirituality. Kady has such a sweet spirit and amazing hair. Jessi I have already mentioned brings a smile to my face. But they all either stop the painful tears or bring the good ones. I love them all and do not know what I would do without them to keep me sane during my college years.
