Ally Anyone?

I noticed that lately I have this strange habit of imagining funny things happening while I'm in the middle of a serious situation.

Like today, my roomate started her (and my) day by telling me that she and her boyfriend have decided to call it quits. Needless to say I was shocked and probed her with questions. She began to explain.

I listened sympathetically and gave my 2 cents where it fits. After a few minutes of back rubbing and a bit of ,"You're going to be okay. Hang in there," I deemed that the conversation is over thus I can go back to my fourier Series and study my ass out.

Wrong.

My roomate apparently, was not out of her analysing mode. She kept on staring at the floor as if gathering her thoughts, then proceeded to tell me bits and pieces of yesterday's conversation and/or her doomed relationship.

It went like this;

Her: See, I've always known that this won't last long... bla bla bla,
Me: *forcing myself to look up from my book* Hmm, yeah. I know...

Silence. I took that as a sign that she's mulling with her own thoughts and went back to my notes. Then,

"But I was never sure, because he was really attentive the last time we were together..."

I looked at her face the whole time she was yakking, and entertained myself with the mental picture of me giving her a slap yelling the words SHUT UP SHUTP SHUT UP! I nearly laughed out loud.

Plus she has a corny way with words. One time she said, "Im angry at myself for being such a fool for love," and I practically saw a group of dashing guys chorusing, "Fool! for LOOOVEEE!!!" next to her bed.

Another time it was, "I told myself that enough is enough. You know, I'm the kind of person that has a limit, when things break the limit, I tell myself enough is enough," and I could hear the KRU brothers singing, "Enough is ENOUGH!"

Her: I'm not hesitant to say enough is enough -
The KRU brothers: Enough is ENOUGH!

Seriously, I was trying not to burst out laughing.
