“ see–i’m that way with the lord of the rings, though. i just invest my passion into a different series. i don’t blame you for judging, though, so–no worries, there. ” she laughed bit, cracking a smile. “ okay, i’ll just–wait here, i guess. ”

Taylor laughed lightly, “"it’s like it’s my only escape really that’s why I stuck with it. It’s a struggle to keep up with it but its also really relaxing for me to just keep doing this all.”

"I did gymnastics my whole life so I always had that as my outlet, and then by the time I got home from practice all I wanted to do was lay down and read. But gymnastics helped cover tuition here so, definitely not complaining."

Ben laughed a little “I don’t mind that.” He replied. 

"I'll just text the girls to buy some more snacks on their way home, I'll pay them back later. Cm'on, this way... wait, have you ever been to Lambda?"

❛ my point  E X A C T L Y. harry potter just has an overall lighter feel with the storyline getting darker and darker as you go on. with lord of the rings you literally start out with INTENSE plot lines that only increase from there. ❜

"Exactly!! I'm glad someone else understands, usually when I say something like that about Lord of the Rings I get the 'whatchu talkin bout, Willis?' look from people. It's kind of annoying. Like, I still love them, but I need to be in the right mindset.

“Half blood prince was the worst movie, they missed the entire ending of the book.” He was still blown over that fact, Tripp didn’t think he’d ever get over it. “I like the way you think.”

"Yeah, it was pretty bad. I personally really like the Chamber of Secrets movie, but I haven't read that one in a while so I don't remember exactly how close they are." Andy explained, before rolling her eyes. "Obviously you do, I'm me."

‘ because they’re such babies ! they don’t know all the bad shit that’s gonna happen to them. they’re so innocent, and it doesn’t last. that’s what sad about it. what do you say, then ? some friends reruns ? a star wars marathon ? ’

"I guess that makes sense, but I think that happens to everyone. Not to the extent of the golden trio obviously, but... you get the point." Andy pointed out, but then chuckled. "Sure, Friends works. I love Star Wars but I'm not at the point where I can fall asleep for twenty minutes and still know exactly where we are when I wake up."

“It’s nice to meet you, Andy!” Ben smiled, “Oh I can be there in 10 minutes. Does that work?”

“Yeah, definitely! Do you want to grab some junk food first or just raid my house’s cupboards? I don’t mind the passive aggressive sticky notes.” She joked.

“ sounds great to me, “ he agreed, “ junk food and harry potter, i can’t think of a better combination. this is probably going to be the best movie maratheon im EVER gonna partake in. “

“Good. That’s because there isn’t a better combination. Especially when you’re doing it with me. This is really just going to be the best 24 hours of your life.”

“Order of the Phoenix is the best movie!” He tried to compensate, he agreed with the missing half the plot as a child but he wouldn’t admit that. “Pizza? Chicken wings? All the good food for sure.”

“III disagree, but I’ll respect your opinion. It’s definitely not the worst.” Andy pointed out playfully. “Chicken wings and pizza. Definitely.”

“Kappa Epsilon Rho. Where all the artsy kids are at. Aside from the theater kids, it is relatively a quiet place.” Jill responded, a light chuckle escaping his lips as he did so.  “My place it is. You’re close, it’s this way. Come on, Andy, shouldn‘t you know the way by now? “ He asked, raising his eyebrow in a teasing manner.

“Oh, nice! I was kind of looking that because I’m an English major -- well, like, the sorority obviously, not the fraternity, but... yeah, I’m not a writer so much as just... a nerd, so I decided on good ol’ Lambda.” She explained. “Awesome. Quiet people, I love it.” She rolled her eyes at him. “I do know where it is, I just need reminded.”

❛ that’s very true. star wars can push it for me but harry potter’s ALWAYS a nice binge. i can never finish a lord of the rings marathon, it’s just so  E X H A U S T I N G? which is weird considering all i’m doing is SITTING and WATCHING something. ❜

❛ fuck off. harry is the ONLY likable character apart from draco, all the other are just fucking annoying. besides, the movies aren’t T H A T good compared to the books. don’t you agree ?? ❜ ludvig stated, hands raised in defeat. ❛ i’m 2 meters tall, andy. it takes more than a little beer to get me drunk. ❜

‘ oh god, not harry potter. i’ll cry if i have to watch those. i mean, i love it, but they’re too sad for me to watch, andy. i’ve seen friends a million times, so i can never say no — i’ve got some pretty sweet suggestions if you’re looking for a new series, though. ’

“How are the first few sad!? The last one is sad, and Order of the Phoenix is sad obviously, but the others aren’t that sad. Just nostalgic. But yeah, we can watch something new another time, I want to watch something and not really pay attention.

❛ uh, i don’t know. sounds fun and all but i have a lot to do today. besides, i’m not a good person to watch friends with. i’ve seen each episode so many times that my reactions come before the scenes are even over. it’s bad. really bad. besides, aren’t tv binges best when they’re done solo ??  no ones there to judge you if you get unnecessarily angry, or  c r y.   ❜  

“But the semester’s over! I know other classes are starting, I’m in classes too, but it’s the very beginning. There’s not even anything to study yet!” Andy pointed out, frowning at the other’s words. “I’ve seen Friends like, five times, so I do the exact same thing.”

“ it wasn’t like that really, i don’t think. i don’t really mind if other people like stuff. i mean–i like it just FINE, i’m just not all that invested in it, i guess. ” she shrugged once. “ definitely, though !! sounds like a fair deal to me. ”

Isabel shook her head, “because I don’t want to be here all year. I know some people are staying back but like i don’t want to bored here I rather have some fun away from my house on campus.” She shrugged, “i guess I just want change a bit.”

“I guess, but some of the fun happens in the house. I also just... have a job here, so I can’t just leave. But I live nearby anyway so it’s not that big of a deal for me. You could always sublet a place for a couple months?”

“ i’m gonna be honest with you — i’ve never watched a single harry potter movie in my life. but i would never turn down an opportunity to binge watch friends. i don’t think that show ever gets old. i’ve never not laughed at an episode. ”
