Ah -- uh, that last bit makes me glad that I'm not the culprit. Pretty harsh punishment for a minor annoyance, Seb. Though -- I can relate, my roommate gets up to go running before even roosters are awake. Thankfully I'm a pretty heavy sleeper. I also listen to my iPod sometimes when I'm sleeping. Like, soothing stuff. Kinda works like white noise if you turn it down pretty low, but it still blocks out background. You, uh, might want to try it.

“Whoever deems it appropriate to shower at a quarter past six in the morning and sings so horribly that Simon Cowell would be shocked, I suggest starting your day later unless you want to wake up confused, underwater and in Cuba. This has been a public service announcement—thank you.”

Well. That's a rather loaded question. Why? I'd say that no one really knows why it has to be so bright out, but as for the actual reasoning behind why it is bright, I know it has something to do with light entering the eye, activating photoreceptors and thereby sending a chemical signal to the brain which helps with perception. In the eye itself, the retina is the light-sensing area, and the retina contains both rods and cones -- rods which handle vision in low light, and cones handling color and detail. So I'd say it's the cones in your retina which are being overstimulated by lots and lots of light, causing irritation of the eye and a perception of overbrightness. Uh -- actually, that's probably not what you wanted to hear. Sorry. Would you like me to get you a hat?

Why does it have to be so damn bright out?

[percybtw]

I'll take two orders of plain double stuffed. Can't go wrong with a classic. And yeah, you certainly can dream, but, well, I'm not keen to break my new streak. Six wins in a row.

Right. I don’t thank you enough, though. So thank you. If you’re nice enough, you’ll have every flavor of oreos for your choosing. They do relive stress so it’ll be heaven. Hey, a girl can dream, alright?

[percybtw]

You've exacerbated it. Small piece of cardboard that has been rained on.

…you have a crappy immune system. Tin.

[percybtw]

Right. Just your typical ios gamer here. Nothing...unusual. That's, uh, not something I could ever see myself being into, but, to each their own? I definitely do not know anything about it beyond that. Nope. And -- oh. Yeah, maybe a good plan. I guess it was supposed to -- impress me, or something, but now I just feel like I'm being hit on by Lightning McQueen. Or Mater, more likely.

I mean – I feel like that’s what most people feel towards their opponents. Platonic, competitive feelings, I mean. There’s bound to be a few that seek a bit more out of it, though. Maybe trivia games are a kink for them, we don’t know. I mean, you may know, but I don’t know. A car? Yeah, no – block them right now. Rule number one of dating through social media: if they can’t show their face, it’s not safe. I just made that up. And you’re welcome, no big deal.

[percybtw]

Wait, no -- crap, I meant that people threw their phones, not...used a game about a flight-challenged bird to get off. I hope not, at least. And -- ha, yeah. I feel a little bit impressive seeing that, I'm not gonna lie. It'll be great when I crack the top three, though. Get a bronze trophy by my username. Uh, you're more than welcome to get a house goldfish. I've just noted that they're a little more care than they're worth, if you want to keep them alive for more than a few days. But you could name it Charlotte Jr. Or -- I dunno. Golderoy Lockhart.

Flappy Bird? Oh goodness gracious, I guess people can’t play apps without getting hypersexual. It’s becoming a legitimate problem. Well, at least you can brag and say you’re 4th in the state for Reptiles, I mean what’s the point in  playing if not for the bragging rights? Smart choice, otherwise you might end up with a dead pet on your hands and infinite guilt. Don’t be selfish, Goldfish deserve love too. Kidding– Follow your reptile loving heart and get the pet you want. 

[percybtw]

I honestly don't think any pictures exist. However, you're right -- it could be worse. I, for one -- have never had and never plan to have nudes leak.

Oh, live a little, Percy! What’s the worst that could happen? You get picked on a little bit? Everyone’s had an embarrassing picture leak at some point in their lives. 

[percybtw]

I -- well. In hindsight, maybe I shouldn't have, but it's pretty common on there. Mine's, ah, actually just the top of my head from the eyes up, because I'm wearing my Gandalf the Grey hat, so I'm not quite sure what they're....into. And -- I'm not sure what you mean by that.

Who actually puts their face on a trivia account? I’d ask if you ever want to get laid but clearly it works for you.

[percybtw]

Well. Maybe if you weren't getting up early to go jogging at -- ungodly hours, maybe then my sleep cycle wouldn't be all screwed up, and I wouldn't be ill as often, and my nasal passages wouldn't be blocked, therefore eliminating my..."snoring." Pewter.

You snore. Bronze.

[percybtw]

Yeah, you wish. You left toast out last week. Silver.

Hey, if we’re grading room-mate etiquette; I’m freakin’ Mjolnir, dude. Excellent folder. Considerate napper. Tasteful snack buyer. You really wanna go up against this?

[percybtw]

...I certainly hope not. Uh. Feeling a little paranoid, at the moment.

That’s probably a good idea. Oh, come on! There has to be a picture somewhere. I’m sure your parents took one while you were sleeping or something. 

[percybtw]

Uh. I suppose so. Though I've never looked at my opponent and felt anything more than -- platonic comeptetive feelings towards them. I...their profile picture is a car, so. I'm...unsure. But -- thanks. Little victories, and all that.

It could be. I mean, trivia competitions can get very heated, and fairly quick. Maybe there was just some building sexual tension between you and your opponent that you didn’t pick up on. Are they cute? Also, congrats on all the titles.

[percybtw]

Right. You're right. And -- yikes. I heard about that happening with Flappy Bird before it got taken off the App Store, but never with this game. Though, it's definitely not an unreasonable reaction. When I lose to someone who's like, level four, it, ah, bruises my ego a bit. I think I'll have to wait until my next living situation before being a responible pet owner. I -- well. Sorry. I just prefer pets that appear to love me back, or -- to know I exist. I appreciate fish from a biological standpoint and their place in the marine ecosystem is obviously essential, I just don't think they make very good pets.

No need to explain, I was just kidding. People tend to come off rather strong – if not a little perverted – all you can really do is just delete it and hope they stop or you might end up being the next story on To Catch a Predator. I’d play it but I get too competitive, you might end up hearing a phone being chucked at the wall if I lose. Bummer, I’d suggest getting one now but in case you haven’t noticed you live with some questionable characters who might end up trying to get your pet stoned or high but take back the insult of goldfish. It’s not their fault they’re useless but they’re chill, no care in the world. 

[percybtw]

Hey, it's what...pals do, right? You just gotta help me out sometimes too, like -- restocking the oreo supply during finals week. Stuff like that. Yeah, that sounds cool. Good. But, uh, I wouldn't get your hopes up.

You’re constantly helping me and I apologize. Now if you want, we can totally fit in a game of Quiz Up to see if I finally beat you.

[percybtw]

Not...abandoned. I'm sorry. Truly, deeply, totally sorry. I told you -- I'm all over cleaning it. Does it need dry cleaning? Crap. Um. Yeah, but. That's a disc. And I don't think you took it out of the house, so -- gold star downgraded. Maybe silver. You need a challenging environment in addition to good behavior to get the gold. I think.

So… you’re tellin’ me my favourite sweater was hog-tied, smells of bed funk, and was totally abandoned by yours truly? That’s, ah. A low blow, man. At least treat a garment right ‘fore pawning it back off again. Like when I… temporarily borrowed your copy of Timesplitters: Future Perfect. Not a scratch on it. Well loved. Good owner. Gold star for me. Y’see?

[percybtw]

Hopefully. I'll, ah, refer the girls to the ones most in need of help. And - no, I think you mean that is a picture you will never see. Or one that I never allowed to be taken. Kids are mean, I didn't want to feed the fire by having that slip into anyone's hands.

That honestly doesn’t surprise me. You guys might actually learn a thing or two after having all of us girls living here for who knows how long. Oh, I bet! My parents gave me crap for not wearing one and neither of them had anything to do orthodontics or dentistry. You had head gear?! Now that’s a picture I’d love to see! Thank god I never had that. At least you didn’t have to wear it during the day! I feel like middle school is already bad enough and having head gear would’ve just made it ten times worse.
