random scenes from my week

Scene: Lawley Living Room

Lane: Was Michelangelo’s name “Michael Angelo,” or was it all one name?
Me: All one name.
Lane: (after a pause) Cool. I think I’d like to change my name to “Bobjimmy”

Scene: Rosenblum/Lawley Family Seder

Me: We’re thinking about a trip out to Ellensburg (WA) next month.
My Aunt: Why’s that?
Me: I have a friend there who directs the Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute, and we wanted to boys to meet him and attend one of their “chimposiums.”
My Aunt: (clearly interested now) Who’s your friend?
Me: Roger Fouts
My Aunt: Really?!? How do you know him?
Me: (awkward pause, while I figure out how to say this in a way that doesn’t sound too weird, and fail) We met in a video game.

Scene: IM with a friend

Me: [long story about frustrating negotations surrounding my return (or not) to RIT]
Her: That’s ridiculous. They should absolutely give you more money.
Her: And a lower teaching load.
Her: And…and…a PONY!!!

You Are 40% Evil

A bit of evil lurks in your heart, but you hide it well.
In some ways, you are the most dangerous kind of evil.

How Evil Are You?

And yes, I answered every question truthfully.
