I got here and they're putting me up in a dorm room. I was told I'd have a roommate but they seem to have forgotten that part so I am now the sole occupant of a double room. I'm not complaining. What's odd is when I got to my room it was completely empty except for a pair of clear plastic dress shoes. They don't fit me, either.

Ah dorm rooms, I have seen a few but never lived in one. I like the fact that here they give you all of one power point to use a computer, cd player, TV, fridge and heater all off, now I wonder why they keep on getting brownouts...

Hmmm…My dorm room has about six outlets. Unfortunately, you can't reach any of them unless you pile all the furniture into the center…
A double all to yourself, huh? That's really nice; I mean, it's not that big but it's bigger than anyone else's, and you don't have to deal with a roommate's clothes, music, or boyfriends.

Yeah, there's usually enough outlets if you don't mind crawling under things and hitting your head on the underside of your bed anytime you want to do something silly like use your CD player. Or make grilled cheese sandwiches.
This room is interesting because it has these contraptions that are sort of couches but they pull out to form beds. Warning: do not try to pull it into a bed when you're sitting on it. It may seem harmless enough but it is a Bad Idea.
Left a nice bruise, though.

Wouldn't that end up flipping you over and crushing you under the bed? I'm glad you survived.

I wonder why they left shoes... Only been there a short time and she's already hurting herself. Did you manage to escape before it folded you under?

I barely managed to escape its crushing jaws, and placated it with the flat pillow they provided so it would be nice to me when it was time to go to sleep.

You know if this was a TV comedy show I would walk in right now and say "Hey you two get room" but its not so I won't.

I am very tempted to make a teasing remark in your direction.

darakat - Now with pockets! Posted Jun 4, 2004
Of course you are, of course you are, I am practically asking for it

I'm trying so hard not to make comments concerning pink ovoids.

Somehow that makes me feel like eating frogs

I'm now resisting the urge to mention frog/paste fondue.

The only problem would be keeping the paste from setting too quickly.

Tacysa Posted Jun 6, 2004
Add a bit of water. If it's in large amounts, the glue won't set at all. I have a cup here of straight paste that has taken four days to get a film over the surface. It'd work, but I think the frogs would have to be blanched first.

I'd recommand just the frog legs. That way you have something distict to dip. You may be right about the blanching, though.
