aaron: still have to think of an appropriate name 4 u :-)) thank you for the promise, i promise in return to always keep you grounded even when the ego goes through the roof. i've got you. maybe ironically?? maybe. and i agree.. the question game is fun and you actually learn fun random things about the person, but it can get weird FAST. oh god, that does sound like hell.. endless embarrassment. i can't even imagine the dumb shit i've said as a pre-teen/teenager. i shudder at the thought. anything for you, babe.

aaron: woaaaaah, the threats are getting real. watch yaself. we all have things we can threaten (or withhold), ya butt. if you make me immobile, i’ll just body slam you or roll over on you like a big marshmallow man. regardless… dinner :-) (you do a good job daily!! i….you…. i will read into it. and then i’ll be flustered probably. you’re trouble.) i can deal with that present, i love it when your lil cheeks get red! so cute. but hey.. thanks for liking me among the things you like about me. think you know that i feel v v v much the same. MAYBE i can do that okay. couldn’t agree more.. life is crazy and things are all over the place, but i’m beyond grateful to have you as a constant. (PUKE GROSS SAP) okay now that… sounds perfect. we’ll have a day for that and then a day to celebrate exams being over before we go for break. junk food and music and movies, the whole 9 yards. if you want to see that much of me, that is. sound like a date?

aaron: hehhhh

siobhan: gotta pick a name so ik that it's real :~) i know you will AND that's why we make a great team. absolutely, and that can all get overwhelming super fast. what i'm getting from all of this is that 20 questions is totally out of the picture. instead, we should set up a texting system where you send me a daily 'fun random thing' about yourself, like 'aaron whittemore loves the color blue and green!' i personally think it's a brilliant idea. if it helps, i have my fair share of embarrassing things said - some that will probably scar me for the rest of my life. that's word vomit for ya.

siobhan: hey, i'm just trying to buy you a coffee here. although i'd love to see what exactly you would threaten (or withhold). unless, it's all talk and no game. i can't believe you've been holding back this romantic side though. marshmallow body slams. :') (you make it worth it!! shh.....you can handle it....i know you, but sounds great. and possibly.) i'll take that into consideration!! well, i figured since we do spend quite a lot of time together and most of the time it's enjoyable that we probably do like each other to some extent. i'm glad to hear the feeling is mutual though. that would be rough if it wasn't.. even if that was grossly sappy, it was v cute and appreciated and it also made me pull this face that i don't wanna talk about. BUT, now that we got all of that gushy stuff outta the way, i'm in. junk food, music, and movies...all of my favorite things bundled into one. plus, i gotta fill up the aaron quota while i have the chance. sounds like a date.

siobhan: ur funny

aaron: your dumbo... :-)) also i can't disagree, you are a lot cooler than me. i've learned to accept it. haha! i bet there are an embarrassing number of relationships (friendship and romantic) that have started with that clever phrase.. but i have proudly never used it. the 20 questions thing, though, every guy has been guilty of, i'm sure. i can't say that i've ever asked bra size, but i'm sure there's an embarrassing text in my past along those lines... i apologize for the gender as a whole.

aaron: okay first item on our shopping trip: 7 more parkas. maaaaaybe you can buy coffee this time if i am in the mood to let you (so prob not), but i buy dinner. (ur hands are so chivalrous.. holdin' my books and doors.. i'm emotional. i'm trying not 2 be a perv and read weirdly into that sentence.) longISH... tell me more favorite things :-)) you're unreal, you know that? good god. on a casually serious note, you being all that you are to me is thank you enough (not that i need thanking).. and i owe thanks all back to you. it's a two way street, ya know? your side of the street is very beautiful and warm and smart and keeps me on my toes. thanks for being MY pal...... my g a l pal.... maybe we should get matching sweaters and albums to listen to together as mutual pal presents??

aaron: hey ps what's ur bra size....

siobhan: mmm...:-)) thanks, i take that appreciatively and promise to remain modest! you're the cutest dork i know. never?? not even ironically??? the 20 questions thing can admittedly be entertaining at times and it's a classic move, so i can't judge you there. and as for the embarrassing texts, i'm p sure there's a version of hell out there where you're forced to reread every single thing you've ever sent out. the finest form of torture. thanks for being always so dependable, whittemore. you're the best.

siobhan: oh, i'll definitely be paying for the coffee or else someway.. somehow i'll figure out a way to shove you in all 8 coats so you remain immobile - depending on my mood, of course. we can totally add dinner to the mix. (just trying to find a way to thank you!! no prob...ur books are in safe hands. very gentlemanly of you...you can feel free to read into that later.. maybe after dinner.) please, i mean i could but i can already feel my face turning a lil red so.. the list could be your present instead. :-) but there's a lot i do like about you and i like you, obviously. MAYBE for my present you could actually let me thank you without completely flustering me, dummy. i'm glad you feel that way about me, even with everything else going on. but right, we should totally do that. we could even get matching pal bracelets?? we could rethink the whole gift-giving process and just pick a day to lay in your bed and listen to music, doing nothing. of course, i'll still probably slip something else in there, but just a thought.

siobhan: no

aaron: please.. i find everything you do endearing, it's stupid. but i'm glad i fit the blue/green guy mold!! you're a dork.. i do agree, though. i think we're doing pretty damn well in that department, i have no worries or complaints. you make it easy. HOWEVER.. should've hit you with 'asl??' when i had the chance.

aaron: it's a date, then. we'll put on 8 parkas and brave the wind and drink coffee (and all other lame requirements.. including me keeping your perpetually cold hands warm) while we window shop. my curiosity thanks you!! i can deeeeeefinitely swing things along the lines of hugs and dumb jokes :-)) the same goes for me, for the record.. you could give me a finger painting and i'd be over the moon.

siobhan: that's why ur my dumbo...kidding, but it's cute and reassuring in a weird way. possibly, but i'm still cooler than you. :-( i'm glad to hear that. you totally make it easy too. oh god, no. could you imagine...starting a beautiful friendship one 'asl' at a time. but seriously, has that ever successfully worked for you?? and when getting to the 20 questions why does it always go from 'what's your favorite color' to 'what's your bra size' within 3 asks? send a mssg to all boys to up their creativity pls and ty.

siobhan: sounds perfect. i fully expect you to wear all eight parkas and the coffee can be on me (and my perpetually cold hands are so grateful, and will thank you...by helping you hold books and keep doors open ofc BUT if they ever become disagreeable i'm more than willing to work out a touch-free arrangement for ur benefit). hugs and dumb jokes are just two on the longish list of my favorite things about you. :~) i'm a master at finger painting actually, but on a casually serious note (oxymoron i know) i just wanted to give you a thank you gift for making the past few months a little bit more bearable. i figured some sorta present, like a sweet sweater and some sick albums could do the trick with a friendly 'thanks for being a pal!' note attached. i'm not exactly sure where i was going with this, but thanks for being a pal..

aaron: i read this three times because you're really cute. i'm a blue and green guy... for the record, and your simple curiosity. kicking myself for never making you do that 20 questions texting thing early on...

aaron: also.. if you were to want to go to some shops togetherrr and just window shop and tell me all of the things you like or something i'd be cool with that! :-)

siobhan: i was the tiniest bit embarrassed sending that so i'm glad you found it kinda endearing. you seemed like a blue and green guy!! great choices. now that you mention it, i'm surprised you didn't. then again, a lil mystery is always good. besides i think we've gotten to the point where we get each other. or whatever, y'know.

siobhan: i'm not opposed to that at all. sounds pretty perfect. you can totally tell me if you see anything that catches your eye too. also, just for your curiosity, i wanna say that i'm a huge fan of cards with dumb jokes and maybe a hug thrown in there as well. nothing huge needed at all. :-)

siobhan: i was walking around some shops the other day (totally not trying to get holiday gift ideas by the way) when i realized that i had a fundamental lack of knowledge in some areas regarding, well...you.

siobhan: long story short though, what's your favorite color? :-)

[siobhanffs]

i think ur a contra; vampire weekend

[siobhanffs]

Of course. I was mostly hoping someone would have a creative home remedy to offer, but maybe that was just wishful thinking. And as much as the latter sounds tempting, I think I'll avoid getting him and everyone else sick at the moment. A good ol' quarantine sounds like a better option.

Have you tried to sleep it off? NyQuil? Or Advil. I don’t know- go cuddle with Aaron until you feel better.

[siobhanffs]

That's the thing -- it seems close to impossible to get a decent night sleep whilst sick. I tried Nyquil and everything. Also, stressing out about being sick and trying to work through, well, all this work contributes to that. But now I'm going overboard with the complaining. You would think that while society is being streamlined into this whole process of efficiency, someone would figure out an easier way to deal with a common cold, y'know? But thanks, I'll try chugging more lemon tea if possible. 

I guess just, you know, sleep it off? Or use a nasal spray and some tea for your throat? Lemon tea can help.

[siobhanffs]

I’ll be willing to provide a week’s worth of coffee or ‘insert your preferred beverage here’ to the person who can provide me with a quick and easy way to get deal with a cold. A sore throat and stuffy nose really gets in the way when you have back to back papers and exams with limited cramming time. Extra points if it’s actually a serious recommendation. Also, professors suck.

[siobhanffs]

[siobhanffs]

I appreciate the support, Nans. Honestly, but drunk college kids are just part of the experience, so we gotta deal. I'm not usually jumpy, but I'll probably make sure to have a companion in the future. Y'know just in case. Maybe we could even catch a movie together. I trust you with my popcorn.

I don’t blame you, that would have been heartbreaking, losing all that popcorn for nothing more then a drunken college kid. Tragic really. Next time you’ll have to make sure you’re with someone significantly less jumpy and have them hold onto to the popcorn.

[siobhanffs]

I would say you must be slightly insane, but you're not the first person to tell me that. I don't get it, but maybe that's just because I'm constantly freezing. Atta girl, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Maybe I'll check it out on a rainy day, but for now I'll just try to live with it's constant playing on the radio.

I can’t promise anything, but I usually don’t mind the cold winter days or winter in general. I can see the beauty in it. I’m probably already annoying a lot people with my chattiness, but as you said, who cares. That’s a shame. She shows off some pretty rad dance moves!

[siobhanffs]

     Why wouldn't I wanna hang out with my best bud? Although the coffee did make a huge difference, but that's not the point. Okay, then if any dicks get involved, I'm out. We can do an Honors Thesis on it titled, 'The Sexual Tendencies of College Freshmen.' We'll both get As with flying colors. Maybe I just haven't been paying close enough attention to the couples around here. But then again, I'm also sure we all have done things we aren't proud of whilst in a relationship. If it's as bad as you say so, I'll totally do it. I'm counting on your back up though. Don't let me down. I'm beginning to think you have something going on with buses. Do you have a bus kink, Wyatt? I won't judge. Good one. You gotta pick better participants for your one night stands. One time in high school, I found out one of my best guy friends was going to ask me out. So when he came up to talk to me, I made up an excuse and left right away without telling him. Then I might have hooked up with his best friend the day after. A year later he asked me why I never talked to him anymore. It was messy.

   That was easier than I thought it might be. Oh my friend, you’re in for a big, big shock. You think it’s just heavy petting and some making out? That’s so cute. It’s a lot more reckless now, handjobs and dry humping is the norm. I feel like this will be educational for the both of us. I’m pretty sure the people who are participating like it, if not then the noises they make are very misleading. I’ll let you do that, I’ll just watch and drink my coffee. If a crowd gathers though, I’ve got your back, man. Well I didn’t want to hurt your feelings, how do you break that kind of news to someone? Buses can be pretty romantic though, so I don’t blame you. Alright, I’ll go first then, I suppose. I once slept with a girl that I didn’t call back, little did I know she stole my dorm room key and when I got home she’d plastered my walls with pictures of herself. I still haven’t got that key back, but we’re cool now, she comes over to play Scrabble from time to time. Now you go.

[siobhanffs]

Good. I'll make sure to include that on the special skills section of my CV. For a moment I was considering on scrapping all of this and offering to play it by ear, but I'm pretty amused. I can work with that for now and we can set an idea in stone later on. And I guess, I can live without the Cinnamon Toast Crunch. One day it'll be back in action. You're cute. I can dig that too. I'll even make a sign and hang it on our door that reads 'super hot power couple' to let the world know and everything -- she'll love it. Well, I don't think Carlie approves of much, but you have my blessing. If you say so. I think you should live it up more, Whittemore. After all, these years are your prime.

If you’re good at one thing, it is keeping me on my toes. Spoken like a true law student, smart ass… I will draw out every variable you can think of and then some, including this “study time” you speak of. I cover my bases, also including holidays, which will be substituted with skype calls at your request and visits if allowed. Boom. Upon this new knowledge of your smelly attraction, I will perhaps reinstate that offer and choose to retract Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Many other cereal options, and I do enjoy a good shower. I dig that mutual monitoring, you guys are like a super hot power couple. Hope she approves of me stepping in sometimes. Mmhmm, okay, I’ll take you at your word. My things include video games and pizza with Chase and Marty, but you’re right. Very important things to do while we’re apart.

[siobhanffs]

@morewhitte: My phone messed up and pasted something about being hungry and siobhan replied "are you tryna ask me to make you dinner??? bc i will!!!" What a fucking dream she is. @siobhanny

@siobhanny: i was just trying to look out for you bc i'm a good bud and i have a killer chicken ziti recipe........

[siobhanffs]

    Sure, sounds like a plan. Also, I might be able to turn a blind eye to matching outfits, but if any of them start nibbling each other's ears or indulge in some heavy petting, then I'm out. It's not like there's anybody who likes it, anyways. You should just begin calling them all out on grounds of sanitation. I find that hard to believe, but I'll take your word for it. I guess. Man, Wyatt. For the many years we've known each other, you didn't think to tell me I give off the aura of someone who gets frisky on the back of the bus? Some friend. But no -- the answer to that question is no. I'm honored, but we could make a game out of this. Let's tally up each other's fuck ups and the one with less marks will be the official life coach between us.

   How about, I meet you at the cafe tomorrow morning and we can judge all the freshmen couples together? I’m used it it, doesn’t mean I like it any less. Come on, they’re practically dry humping eachother in public places, it’s gross and unsanitary. I can safely say, hand on heart that I, Wyatt Thompson have never been caught doing anything of the king in a public place. What about you? You look the type to get a little frisky on the back of a bus.  Yeah, I hear their parties are reckless. True, but I trust you more than I trust myself.

[siobhanffs]

Just trying to keep you on your toes, so you're welcome. A contract could work, but there would be too many variables. What if other plans come up? And how will you compensate for holidays? I could think of at least twenty more things. Speaking of which, we should also include actually studying during study time. Progress. And sure, you could retract that offer. Just know that one of the top reasons, maybe the number one reason, I keep you around is because you smell really good. Mhm, we've developed a good system of monitoring between the two of us. I'm sure she's making sure I don't fuck up either. Yeah, yeah -- whatever you say. I'm not implying anything. You have things to do and I have things to do.

The flawed university system just keeps shining. Thank you thank you, I like to think my degree is being put to good use these days when you make me put out these arguments. Okay yeah sure limits or whatever, but just Tuesday and Friday? So weak. That’s not even prime time weekend. We need to write out a contract or something and lay down the laws.. I think we deserve at least 3 nights. We do study sometimes, so it’s like an extra reward! I apologize for going overboard, though, I retract my showering offer. I’m glad to know that you’re such a faithful roommate, I’m sure Carlie is thankful to have you there to monitor and lull her to sleep with that adorable little snore of yours. Whatever else I do..? What exactly would you be implying, Ms. Reeves?
