Just saying.
La-a walked into the lounge where the majority of us were pretending that we didn’t actually have work to do. She was holding a CD and Felix was quick to teasingly ask if it was a Big Time Rush CD; La-a had been lauding the band’s music for days, which Felix didn’t understand because he doesn’t have ovaries.
La-a: No, it isn’t—but oh my god, you need to listen to the Beatles covers that they did.
She proceeded to commandeer Felix’s computer and, after figuring out how to operate a Mac, brought up a song. Felix and I sufferingly rolled our eyes and agreed that yes, the music was fine. As soon as she walked out of the room, Felix happily announced “She’s gone” and closed the window…
…only to have La-a charge back into the room and cry “I can hear you turn it off!”
While she was distracted, Felix stole the CD from her hand and passed it off to me. La-a yelled “Noooooooo!” before I could indicate that I was going to give it back to her.
Me: What did you think I was going to do?
La-a: I don’t know. Throw it out the window?
Me: That would be so mean.
Felix: We wouldn’t do that.
Me: That would be r000000000000de. It would be “rude” spelled with twelve zeroes.
Felix: Why would I do that?
La-a: I don’t know. You’re better people than I am. I would totally throw Felix’s Dr. Pepper out the window.
Felix: It’s empty…
I’m not sure what Felix hoped to accomplish by saying this, but I am absolutely certain that it was not what happened next.
As you read the following dialogue, bear in mind that at this point I was laughing too hard to stand up and had to sit on the floor.
Felix: IT WASN’T EMPTY!
Me: Then why did you say it was empty!?
Felix: I DIDN’T THINK YOU WOULD DO THAT!
Me: Have you MET me?
Felix: Apparently I don’t know you well enough!!
Me: Felix, there is literally nothing about our friendship that suggests that I wouldn’t do that!
And then everyone laughed so hard they almost cried.
If the story didn’t give you the idea of what my college friends are like, we’ve also been described as Big Bang Theory meets Friends. We’re also the kind of people who are likely to take stupid internet challenges.
At William and Mary, a "tribe choice" is a healthy choice. The Cinnamon Challenge was not a tribe choice.
Jules and Theo also did this. Both of them got headaches immediately after, so I consider myself the winner of this challenge even though I had to frantically imbibe seemingly the entire contents of the hall water fountain. Although seeing Theo breathe clouds of cinnamon like some kind of spice cabinet dragon was kind of worthwhile.
The video is here. I tried to do something cool and embed it here, but the internet decided that that wasn't going to happen today.
Each and every one of you who enjoyed that…I dare you to try it.
Thirty minutes after this video was taken, my mouth still tasted like the floor of a Cinnabon factory. I’m not sure if that means I still win, or if I’m now part cinnamonster.
