I saw her.

Rosh and I were walking to breakfast this morning when it happened. My head was bowed and nestled firmly in my scarf. I could hear faint strains of some music coming from ahead of me. Rosh muttered something about a huge group praying ahead. I looked up and saw that there were about fifty people crowded in the center of Woolsely Plaza. I told Rosh that it was probably a tour.

As we approached though, the music resolved itself into Indian music and I saw her, Rani Mukherjee, famous international Bollywood star. Doing a song sequence in front of the Commons. Oh, Yale......

The other day, as we were happily conversing on AIM, Shara abruptly left. I got bored, and left her a monologue.

roshanhasaim: so, I'm going to safely assume you are gone now
roshanhasaim: good riddance, I say because now I can let myself shine
roshanhasaim: you just bring me down
roshanhasaim: with your little "responses"
roshanhasaim: just let me go
roshanhasaim: this is gold, ok
roshanhasaim: anyways, so I'm feeling a little quirky today
roshanhasaim: i actually responded to the music I was playing by shifting my head in tiny movements that could be interpreted as a dance
roshanhasaim: but don't worry I haven't gone all dance master on you
roshanhasaim: i studied not so much today
roshanhasaim: my quota remains unfulfilled
roshanhasaim: but that isn't an appropriate topic of conversation for a rambling monologue
roshanhasaim: I need more irreverent stuff
roshanhasaim: ok, so tic tacs
roshanhasaim: aren't they hilarious?
roshanhasaim: I'm a laugh a minute
roshanhasaim: one time, on somebody's facebook profile
roshanhasaim: I saw, in their about me
roshanhasaim: the words
roshanhasaim: "I'm a one-of-a-kind"
roshanhasaim: that annoyed me for no real reason
roshanhasaim: Someone named Esteban posted on your wall
roshanhasaim: I don't get it
roshanhasaim: *checks Esteban's profile for context*
roshanhasaim: I still don't get it
roshanhasaim: buried?
roshanhasaim: maybe he thinks you are a loaf of bread
roshanhasaim: oh, oh, like the loaf of bread is you
roshanhasaim: on a funeral litter a la Arthur on the barge
roshanhasaim: and so, you're prepared for burial
roshanhasaim: my his comments are subtle and complex
roshanhasaim: what if,. what if your roommates are watching this little parade
roshanhasaim: they are aren't they
roshanhasaim: I SEE YOU
roshanhasaim: don't try avoiding my glance
roshanhasaim: look me in the eyes
roshanhasaim: you're reading what I write
roshanhasaim: that means you Katie...
roshanhasaim: or whatever that other roommates name is
roshanhasaim: let me try again
roshanhasaim: Amanda, Jaime, and ....
roshanhasaim: darn-it I keep forgetting the last
roshanhasaim: it's ok, I have time
roshanhasaim: four years to be exact
roshanhasaim: I bet
roshanhasaim: I bet I bet
roshanhasaim: this is too long
roshanhasaim: i have to end it here
roshanhasaim: sorry Shapple
roshanhasaim: i really am sorry
roshanhasaim: *five minutes later* I can't help myself
roshanhasaim: you won't read all of this
roshanhasaim: there's just too much
roshanhasaim: try saving it somewhere for a slow rainy day
roshanhasaim: oh yes, go idle on me now
roshanhasaim: my God, my internet is petering away
roshanhasaim: i may be cut short by powers beyond my grasp
roshanhasaim: *holds hand out desperately*
roshanhasaim: save me
roshanhasaim: omg, someone else is talking to me on AIM
roshanhasaim: I gtg, this never happens
roshanhasaim: oh dear
