An Interview of Katie by Amanda

Memories of the Past-
Katie, what memories do you have of the past?
Um, well, Amanda, thanks for asking. I remember when it used to be warmer, and we would go outside. That is all.
Ah, yes, the times when we went outside. That is a memory I have also.
Enough about the past, let's talk about the present.

Things we do together-
Katie, what funtivities do we enjoy together?
Well, there is always a good game of catch, sumo wrestling on Beach Day, and grocery shopping. Oh, and going to Costco.

The Lack of Taco Salad Night-
Katie, why is there no Taco Salad Night tonight?
Well, I will tell you. Fellowship decided to have salad night. And in the spirit of being giving, we decided to donate our lettuce, and now we have no lettuce. And everyone knows that without lettuce, taco salad is just nachos.
Sometimes nachos have lettuce, Katie.
Yes, but it's all about the quantity of lettuce.
Oh.

Stories from the workplace-
Katie, what stories do you have from the workplace?
I have advice from the workplace.
Oh my, please continue.
Don't ever work at a place with a fitting room. Or a telephone.
CRL has fitting rooms?
No, that's a memory that should go in the memory section.
We are done with the memory section. Answer my workplace question.
*sigh* Oh, so demanding. Well, last time I worked at a place with a fitting room (that was the only time), not that long before I left, we had about a week where, occasionally, we'd go into the fitting rooms and find that people had taken clothes in there and had peed on them. You'd think it would mostly happen in the men's fitting rooms. . .
Is that because men pee standing up and can make a faster getaway?
No, it's just because men are just more uncivilized.
Oh, I see. Sorry, for interupting. You should finish your story. . .
Oh, that's pretty much the whole story.
Well, I know I've learned a lot from that story. Thank you for sharing.
Mmm, your welcome.

Our Favorite Things-
Katie, what are our favorite things?
Obviously: China Star, Royals Baseball, Taco Salad Night, The Song of Albion, Bones, Robin Hood, cottage cheese cups, drink treats, The Office, funtivities, cribbage, crocheting, racquetball, getting mail in the mailbox, Dave and Busters, Triumph Point Competitions, Jesus, getting drunk, and quarters for doing laundry.
Yes, we love all of those things. . . but wait, one of those things we do not love so much.
It is a test; it is a very difficult test.
What kind of test is it?
It's not really a test. It's more of a challenge.
A Triumph Point Challenge?
No. It's more a challenge of how long you can pay attention to our blog. Those kind of challenges go unrewarded. Well, aside from the obvious reward of enjoying our blog.
Katie? Katie has just walked out of the room. I think she was overcome with the need to gather her thoughts. Or perhaps she needed to pee. Still, I think she has thrown down a challenge to us all. Well, not to me, because I am her roommate, and know everything; challenges don't apply to me. But to you all I feel what Katie wanted to ask you is, which of those "Favorite Things" is not a true "Favorite Thing"? If you can answer that, then you will have the reward of. . . oh, sorry, Katie said no reward. But, go at it, all of you. Here is a test of your knowledge; see what you can achieve (which will actually be nothing, since there is no prize). Nonetheless, try your skills--you never know what sort of reward there will be waiting for you at the end of this challenge (actually, you do know, none).

The End of this Post-
Have a happy day, night, and evening. Stay warm, and remember the days when you went outside, and the days when you had lettuce.

Well, I don't think you like to get drunk. Unless all the times everyone else goes to play racquetball they are really getting drunk and then the times when I come to play we actually play and everyone is annoyed that Juliet has ruined the getting drunk times.

Sorry guys...I had to tell her. But next month she can come to our drunkenings. Anyhow, my guess is that Dave and Buster's isn't your favorite, because if it was, you'd know about the apostrophe.

Um. Croqueting? I don't think you own any mallots.

i ate some of your lettuce today. and i think you don't like cottage cheese cups because cottage cheese is disturbing. even more so in cup form.

I think it is "drunk" because it was next to last, and 84% of all lists that contain a bogus item place it next to last (and 86% of all statistics are made up on the spur of the moment). However, everybody else's comments make more sense.

My experience with quarters reserved exclusively for men or for women (my job one year in college was cleaning a church (40th and Broadway, KCMO) with 11 bathrooms) is that men are thoughtless and gross with isolated outbursts of destruction. Women however leave their areas in a higher level of litter and are sneakier. Men never sneak when they destroy something. Women do.

The 'Pee Factor' is one of the amazing developments of the past 30 years (every day and in every way we are getting better and better T/F?). Shall we call it an exponentially increased anger factor? (also producing 12 year old female mass murderers, but not so much in changing rooms or bathrooms . . . most of the time.)

Your blog banter is bodacious.

Obviously the thing you don't like is the commas. There are lots of commas in your list. Very sneaky. Very sneaky.
