Can I Get A Decade Check?

r

I was walking to the caf today to meet my roommate for lunch, minding my own business, when I heard a low rumbling noise behind me.

I swerved to the edge of the sidewalk in just enough time for a girl on rollerblades to whiz by me.

I did a double-take.

Rollerblades?

Yes, for the love of all things 1999, she was rollerblading to class.

I pulled out my iPhone and typed up a quick tweet:

“People who rollerblade on campus.”

That’s all I said.

Self-explanatory.

Bless my sweet roommate who gets my tweets to her phone.

As soon as I opened the door to the caf foyer, there my roommate was, reading my tweet and laughing.

“Dude,” I said. “I just saw a girl rollerblading.”

My roommates eyes swelled.

Then she gestured behind me.

Girl with her rollerblades was standing right behind me.

Foot in mouth.

  1. hahah. My friends and I got the urge to go rollerblading this past summer. No idea why... We used to go to a skating rink all the time back in the third grade with our floral tank tops and sturup pants...We went back and literally nothing has changed. I felt like we passed through a time warp. The rollerblades were the same. the toys in the claw machine were the same. The smells were the same. and I swear they had the same DJ. I couldn't believe it. And I guess the guys were still flirting...hard core.
