Just for the record, I hate titling my posts.
Ok, so I ordered the pizza from the last post, and I had a total and complete blackout. I mean FLASHBACK. Seriously! I cannot think straight!! I ordered Domino's cheese pizza. When I opened the box...
Wham! Not the group. I was seriously, for one solid second, back in college. I could see it, smell it, hear it, and totally FEEL exactly how I felt then. A second doesn't seem long, but when that happens, you feel transported.
Why, do you ask? Because, the last thing I did before I left college (dropped out, if you will) was work a summer in Helaman Halls as a CA, or Conference Assistant. Conferences were from Monday through Saturday morning with early arrivals allowed on Sunday evening. So, the cafeteria was closed after Saturday breakfast and not opened again until Sunday dinner. As employees, we could, of course, eat up at the Morris center at DT, but that particular administration made it pretty hard (plus I'm lazy). THEREFORE, only one of two things happened every weekend: a) I "fasted" from breakfast Saturday to dinner Sunday, or b) I ordered a cheese pizza from Domino's on Saturday afternoon, and ate half that night and half the next day accompanied by the Dr. Peppers in the minifridge under my bed.
The smell of the pizza tonight was the EXACT experience from those weekends. Actually one of the very limited good memories I have of college.

That seems like such a lovely pizza reaction compared to mine! I saw that you were ordering pizza so I convinced Brian to do so too! It was so exciting at first. Then after we ate, I'm pretty sure I was poisoned! I was ill ALL day yesterday after eating pizza on Friday night. Not good! I think it will be a LONG time until I have pizza again!
