Think

On Friday night, Katie and I were sitting in a chair together - you know, one of those chairs that is part of a living room set. We had a pillow in our laps, and I started wondering what it would be like for us to be conjoined twins who shared legs but had separate torsos. So I asked Katie. And we had two separate 20 minute long conversations about it. Would I be able to feel someone tapping on Katie's far shoulder? Would we feel the weight of both legs or only one? How would that affect our balance? Would it be legal for us to get married? I think Katie is the only person I know with whom I could actually carry on a serious conversation about this with. My other friends and I would just laugh about it, but Katie and I had a legitimate conversation about it! I loved it. And then we cracked up over the fact that we had just had that conversation (and then we laughed that we had it not once, but twice).

This next part fit with that story in my mind, but in actuality I don't think it really does. Oh well!

I'm sitting in the library with Karen studying Biology (evolution, to be exact. Blegh.), and I'm falling asleep. I would love to take a nap in my nice warm room in my nice warm bed (they turned on the heat in the dorms! Yay!). But that is a long walk for a 20+ minute nap, and then I'd have to turn around and come back to the lib anyway. So I stared thinking. I looked up at Kare and said, "Wouldn't it be great if the library had a nap room?" Karen just rolled her eyes and laughed at me. I laughed out loud, but in my mind I started pondering how that could happen. Then I realized that there could be a lot of problems with that. But it would be nice!

All right, back to work. Have a great Sunday!
