Ā Ā Ā āĀ I was thinking we could go with like a NAUTICAL theme for the room. I have all of these adorableĀ shotglasses from my hometown portās gift shop. This one with the little anchor is my favorite--Ā āSHIP-FACED.ā Isnāt that cute? I mean itās tacky but itās like fun-tacky. And I have these navy-white-stripe curtains so we can replace these tragically drab ones the school provides. Oh! And Iāve been dying to put up this cute seahorse clock!! Do you like the ocean? Did you grow up in the Northwest? Iām, like,Ā diehardĀ Washington coast. You can see the pier from my window back home.Ā I can ask my mom to send down my sea glass collection if you want to see it. I think I want to get a āFloat Onā tattoo. Somewhere discreet so I can still be professional. Do you know that song? Do you like that song? What kind of music do you like? Do you like pop music? Do you mind if I play my music out loud sometimes? Donāt worry. I have great taste. Like āFloat On.ā And Gaga. You seem like a Beatles girl. Do you like the Beatles? You have this totalĀ 60ā²sĀ thing going for you. But you soĀ rockĀ it. I think itās the hair. I used to have short hair. Hated it. It looks super cute on you, though! You probably take short showers, too, which is good, because youāll make up for the longass showersĀ I take, so the other girls in our hall bathroom canāt complain. Haha! No, Iām totally kidding. I only take like, 25 minutes. How long do you usually take? Probably like 10, right? Your hair looks really healthy so I bet you only shampoo, like, every other day. You know youāre supposed to do that, right? Not shampoo everyday? Itās something to do with the necessary oils in your hair. Speaking of oils, do you like essential oils? Because theyāre like, my lifeforce. Peppermint is my favorite ever-- itās the only thing that gets me through my headaches. Actually, I have a humidifier that you can put oils into to make the whole room smell banginā. We can also light these candles, if you donāt mind. --Check it out! Nautical candle holders!!--Ā Donāt worry about getting in trouble. My buddy Sid and I figured out how to cover the smoke alarm with a hanger and a plastic bag. I do that when I need to light incense. Gosh, incense and oils! I sound, like, totally hippie, donāt I? Donāt worry, Iām not, like, freaky into horoscopes or anything. I check mine, though. Iām a Sagittarius, if you couldnāt tell by my charm bracelet. How about you? I bet youāre a water sign. Super peaceful, but like, lowkey sensitive. Are you a Pisces? Are you a Cancer? But maybe youāre an Aquarius. Did you know Aquarius isnāt a water sign? Itās wind. So itās less like the ocean itselfĀ and more like sea breeze. Which suits you. You seem a little aloof but like, sincere, though. Wow, yeah! Youāre totally an Aquarius, arenāt you? ...No, maybe a Cancer after all. You look stressed. Am I being overwhelming? Am I talking too much? Sorry, I, like.... My roommate last semester was kind of a lone wolf, so I have all of this pent-up bonding to get out of my system. I think itās also an only child thing, too. I mean, I have this cousin who was basically my brother but itās not the same, you know? Not growing up in the same house? And itās super-not like a sister where you can borrow each otherās clothes and share beauty tips. We used to be able to talk about boys though, because heās like, ultra gay, but it's way more fun when you can talk about boys while doing each otherās nails. Wait. Do you like boys? Itās weird-- Iām still getting used to that not being a default. But Iām getting better.Ā Oh my gosh, do you want to do each otherās nails and gossip about boys!? Do you want to do a roomie bonding spa day? Girl, I am huge into manicures. Do you want to see my nail kits? I have a ton of stencils you can borrow. Oh!Ā Iām just Max, by the way. No one really calls Maxine. Except for, like, this one kid. Because itās like an old lady name and heās the only one on the planet who likes it. Do you have any nicknames? Can I call you Snowflake? Can I call you Snow White? How cute would that be? Do you get that a lot? Do you have any social media? Do you have a Twitter? Can I follow you? ā
