AIM HIGH, SISTER!

[bloodyrosemccoy]

ME: I am doing college-style laundry today: clothes, washcloths, and pillow cover in the same batch.

MY SISTER: My roommate does that. All her whites are grey.

MOM: Isn’t that a song from the 60’s? *hums “California Dreamin’*

MY SISTER: Oh, yeah … “All my blacks are brown … and my whites are grey …”

ME: “I’d do a separate batch … but then I’d have to pay. Some freshman stole my dryer … next time I’ll have to stay.”

MY SISTER: “APPLIANCE OWNER DREAMIN’ … on college laundry DAAAAAYYY!”


We haven’t gotten as far as the next verse, but I’m pretty sure it has something to do with your local roommate who takes their dirty clothes to their parents every weekend in a garbage bag. Care to chime in?

And yeah, I know, appliances. Next thing you know we’ll be dancing around and singing about telephones and refrigerators like those crazy ladies in those bonkers MST3k shorts. But at least I got my laundry done.

My brother was forced to do his own laundry senior year of high school. This meant that he was the only freshman at Penn without pink underwear.

Yeah, we're kind of a dull lot. No inside jokes, either.

Hey, I do all my wash together!
(Of course, I own nothing white by choice, so....)

Ahahahahaha, I snerked. I actually did bring my laundry home on weekends my freshman year, but it wasn't because I didn't know how to do it. I just hated the waiting and the small loads I had to do, and forgetting about it and the freshmen stealing my dryer, etc., ahahaaa. It was all good by the next year when I had an apartment with a washer and dryer in it, hahahaha.

See, I am all for taking your wash home with you, since quite apart from the money issue I don't even want to KNOW what goes on in dorm washing machines, but I hadn't realized how much of a ... well, trope, I guess ... it was until I actually went to college.

I love the America version of that song best. But then, they're one of my all-time favorite bands, so.

I love the America version of the song too, though I'm partial to the original. I just love America a lot, too. :D

My next-door neighbor my sophomore year would take her laundry home at the end of the semester. We were all dying to know what would happen if she ever moved out.
