Sorry Katy by Julia Yeager Blog 1

This was a very random event that simply made me smile :)
Last Friday, after class, I got back to my dorm room and noticed a pink post-it note left on my desk. It was from my roommate Katy, who was at her desk. She watched me as I walked over to read the note:

| Did you pick your

| booger on my
| laptop? I mean, if
| you did I’m not mad
| but… did you?

Wow, what a shock. Boogers in a college dorm. I laughed and asked, “Oh my god, are you serious?”
She replied, “Yeah!, when I got back from class there was this like, huge brown booger on my laptop, and I was like, What the fuck. Was it you? I’m not mad but-”
“Yeah, no... It totally wasn’t me; I don’t even know what you’re talking about…”
She laughed and said ‘okay’. The conversation had been dropped and she continued facebooking, no doubt, about the mysterious laptop booger.
I sat there thinking… ‘Someone, came into our room, to stick a big brown booger to my roommate’s laptop. Who would do that? What was their thought process? “Oh damn, I don’t have a tissue… better go find an unsuspecting laptop surface.”
Later, my roommate left to do laundry as I continued to work on my homework…
Naturally, I HAD to fuck with her. I needed to put a second ‘booger’ on her laptop before she got back. I looked around the room, frantically searching for booger materials… I settled on some soil from a houseplant I had on my desk. I slathered lotion onto the small piece of dirt and smeared it onto her laptop. Perfect! It smeared just the way a booger should... I waited for Katy to get back from doing laundry…
Needless to say, my roommate was not happy to see the second booger. No matter how much I tried to explain, she would not listen. I told her the first booger was definitely not mine, but that I had created the artificial booger. She was not listening, all she could say was, “Julia, what the fuck… this is not okay, so not okay.”
Today is Wednesday and she still refuses to look at me.
