My roommate is going to be transferring for the spring semester. We were friends all last school year and have been rooming together since August. I thought it would be fun to do an interview with her. About me! Questions started out easy, but got a little more difficult, and then became totally abstract to the point where I don't even have a correct answer. Here is a word-for-word transcription:
What's my favorite color?
Roomie: GREEN!
She's doing great so far.
What's my favorite food?
R: Steak.
Correct, but does she know what cut of steak I like best?
R: Uhh... Sirlion?
Oooh, so close. Sirloin is a close second to the ribeye.
What's my least favorite scent?
R: Cinnamon!
Totally accurate.
What's my least favorite animal?
R: Large dogs.
They're definitely up there, right after birds and horses.
What's my favorite planet?
R: Pluto because they rejected it.
It's true. As far as I'm concerned Pluto is still a planet. I don't see how it was at one point and then one day scientists can just decide it isn't anymore. #onceaplanetalwaysaplanet
What's a phrase I use all the time?
R: Shut up - you're an idiot.
To be fair, I do say this a lot, but not usually to her.
What's a little thing that makes me happy?
R: Mini Eggo waffles, but only if they're completely plain.
Also, not burnt. You can't burn them - they have be just right.
What color are my eyes?
R: Green.
I've always said they're hazel, and so has my eye doctor, but my roommate is still fighting me on this one.
What's one trait I especially hate in people?
R: Oh geez, just one? Lack of common sense.
There are so many things I hate about people.
What is one thing I can't live without?
R: Your vital organs. Heehee.
She thinks she's funny, but I guess she's not wrong.
What is one thing I'm really bad at?
R: Consoling others.
I wish I wasn't so bad at this, but I unfortunately lack quite a bit in the empathy department.
Which Scooby-Doo character am I?
R: Velma.
As much as I've always wanted to be Daphne, I know inside I'm forever more of a Velma.
If I had to move outside of the U.S., where would I live?
R: Switzerland.
We've talked about this before. This is the correct answer - she remembered!
If I were a plant, what kind would I be and why?
R: A cacti, because you're a pretty cool person and people want to get close to you but you act a little prickly so that most of them can't.
If I were a crayon, what color would I be?
As a child, I only ever used the black crayon. My grandma was concerned about it and would bribe me to use the other colors for her, but I still wasn't into it.
If I were shipwrecked on a deserted island all alone, what would be my biggest concern?
R: That the new episode of a show you like is on tonight and you aren't sure if its being recorded at your house or not, and you need to know because if you missed it you wouldn't be able to watch the rest of the season because everyone knows you can't watch the episodes out of order. No, actually, I think it would be that you're missing class.
Those would definitely be concerns of mine.
What am I going to do without you?
R: Video calls at least for times a day, constant letter writing, train rides back and forth. The usual.
I'm going to miss her so much when she's gone.
