21. Talking about Star Wars trivia in my presence and getting offended when I call him out on it.
I was walking the other day, and noticed my roommate's voice was behind me, talking to someone else. He got closer, and I could start making out what he was saying:
Roommate - "What was...Ben Kenobi so impressed with the first time he met Anakin?"
Me (turning around) - "He was impressed with the fact that you're a huge freaking dork."
Roommate's friend - "Hey f--- you!"
And then silence.
Two hours later while we were quietly doing our own thing in our room, my roommate abruptly looked up from a comic book graphic novel to start this conversation-
Roommate - "Hey, you know, I would really appreciate it if you didn't call me a dork in front of other people."
Me - "Fine."
Roommate - "Well, do you think I'm a dork?"
Me - "I think it's ridiculously dorky to talk about Star Wars trivia in public and not expect to get called out on it."
Roommate - "Well I didn't think it was funny."
Great. Now he's easily offended. I wonder what he will think if he discovers this blog. Oh well, I'll deal with it then.

i think you should post as much as possible about your roommate with terrible ideas before he discovers it.
Well, yeah. That's exactly what I'm doing here.
I like your blog. Your roommate is giving you military men a bad name....
to be fair, when dealing with any group of individuals in a school environment you are going to run across a vast spectrum of hobbies and interests (especially when those individuals come from all walks of life and sub-cultures). Still, understanding that means showing off your star wars "knowledge" should fit into the "wait until you know someone is into that kind of thing" category. For myself, I can only say that I balance my interest in graphic novels (known as comic books to the educated man, which are dorky as all get out) with a healthy interest in martial arts and generally kicking butt (which helps preclude undue consequences from the former).
on an unrelated note: http://www.ochef.com/165.htm we were talking about that earlier
star wars is cool, you're the dork here
