Some Things Never Change

While organizing my office at home, I happened across a folder full of bits and bobs from college. My roommate for the first three years used to write and draw the silliest things for me and it was fun to see those again. One thing I'd forgotten about was a handmade ribbon, decorated in pencil, that I think was made by said roommate's then-boyfriend/now-husband during our freshman year. He and I had a very sibling like relationship, so for him to bestow this award on me would not be a surprise. There is a slight chance it was made by the third roommate we had our freshman year--yes, we lived in a "triple," but that is neither here nor there. Here is the inscription:

FOR CLASSIC SPONTANEOUS RUDENESS & ALL AROUND COMMON BITCHINESS
Awarded to Jodi S.
on the 21st of March
in the year of our lord nineteen hundred and eighty-nine

It sort of cracks me up that my rudeness was not only classic, but spontaneous as well. Certainly not planned! Ha!
