Phone Conversation

Marlie: "Hey."

Me: "Hi! How's stuff?"

"My room and my roommate are total ass."

"Er... why?"

"My room is right next to the cafeteria. It smells like meat all day and I don't like it. My roommate is a slut. I hope she won't fuck in my bed."

"Hope not. Classes?"

"More ass, with one bright spot."

"On the ass?"

"Exactly. Every professor looks boring except for one. The guy's grade-A gay. We have a bunch of jocks in the class. There's me and one other girl. He is so fucked."

"Maybe he's not gay?"

"He wore a Logo t-shirt the first day."

"So he's hardcore gay."

"Uh-huh. Plus, he's having sex with his TA."

"How do you know this?"

"Instinct."

"Marlie. You're thick."

"I'm sure on this point. Or does ass-slapping and raucous giggling only pertain to heterosexual friendships?"

"Maybe..."

"I have to go. Roomie's home." (Pause) "Oh, excellent. She's brought someone home with her. I think this is a prime opportunity to ask how her genital herpes flareup is doing."

"She has herpes?"

"No. Bye."

"Bye!"



More on the Gregg situation before I do anything tomorrow morning. Thanks for the kind comments and emails that are giving me insightful input.
