Things Forgotten
Last night I was reading a book, and one of the characters described how she had stars on her ceiling from the person who lived in her dorm room before her. I thought, “That’s lame. Take them down.”…..and then I remembered my college apartment from Junior and Senior year.
I used to fall asleep every night looking up at the friggin’ stars some other lame-ass put on the ceiling probably 7 years before I got there, and, the worst part is, I think I kinda liked having them there. I would wonder why they were put in that shape, and one time I couldn’t see them, and it freaked me out. I later found out it’s because my BFLAAL put LCD lights on the top of my fan so my room didn’t get entirely dark.
I would feign embarrassment every time someone noticed them, but I didn’t take them down, and if I had to do it all over again I still wouldn’t. Even though I didn’t put those stars there, they kinda fit.
