MereBo

It has undoubtedly been a grand time living with the one and only Meredith Border. I decided there were some stories worth sharing about my lovely quirky roomate- though the funniness is most definitely intensified when you see the expressions on her face that go with the scenario.

The other night....
Mere: Oh...just in case you were wondering, that butter tub in the fridge actually has fruit in it.
ME: Um, yeah...I know. It's mine.
Mere: *Long pause as her eyes get very large and a look of horrified guilt comes over her* Oh nooooo.....
(she thought her mom had sent it for her or something, and ate half my fruit. I didn't care, but we got a great laugh out of it)
-----------------
Kim and I are playing guitar together and tuning the guitars to each other...
Mere: um, so I am not supposed to touch those knobby things am I...
Me: you mean the knobs that tune the guitar strings? No- that totally changes the note
Mere: Ok I am sososososososo sorry but you see I just can't help it and when I talk on the phone I just play with them naturally and I didn't mean to I am soo sorry I will never do it again!!!!
Me: OHH, so THAT's why my guitar is always out of tune!
(again, I really didn't care but we ended up laughing about it for a long time)
----------------
I was getting ready for bed at like 2 in the morning, and walked out of the bathroom to see Mere, who had been sleeping for about 3 hours, standing at the door all discombobulated...
Mere: (sleepily with eyes half closed but with a very urgent tone) Kara I was supposed to tell you that you only have 30 seconds! 30 seconds to get your multicultural film! It's gonna be ruined you need to hurry!
Me: Um, multicultural film? What are you tal....ohhhh, you are still asleep. it's ok mere, just turn around, go back to bed...
Mere: No, hahaha...but you have to hurry! (as she wakes up, the conscious side begins to laugh at herself while the unconscious side is still very worried about my multicultural film...)
Me: you were dreaming..multicultural film?????
Mere: ummmm multicolored? I don't know. (promptly goes back to bed, lies down, and falls asleep)
-----------------
AS I walk into the room...
Mere: I burned my feet in the sink!!!!! they realllly hurt and I can't walk!!!
(she washes her feet in the sink...often twice a DAY. kinda abnormal. apparently the water was too hot that day.)
------------------
When Meredith laughs, one eye squints much smaller than the other. Someone pointed this out to her once in high school, so for a long time whenever she laughed she would hold her left eye open with her fingers.
------------------
There are so many funny Meredith stories that I can't remember- lots from high school. but oh well- these were probably much funnier to me because I was there. Her stories about her family are even better though. There is the time she walked into the bathroom to find her sister putting a cd in the toilet and flushing. Apparently she thought this was the best way to clean a cd. Then there is the time she walked into her house to find her little brother running repeatedly into the wall- just for fun.
I am telling you- constant entertainment from this girl.
