what vivid life moments?

A writing and memory exercise.

Here is my attempt to record some of those memories as completely as possible, the ones that pop into one's mind at unexpected moments. It could be something that happened years ago, an unimportant second from another lifetime, totally forgotten until now.

So here is my random diary of unimportant moments, we'll see how it goes.

throwing cookies to meet boys

No, I am not talking about anything metaphorical here.  Just this--freshman year, way up on the 7th floor, large window that looked out to the quad, where roving bands of lonely males from the local engineering college would wander.  Those Entenmann's chocolate chip cookies, remember those?  My perky blond roommate put two and two together, and soon those cookies were being dropped, one by one, like bait to lure in those dudes all the way up to the 7th floor.  Soon our dorm room was filled with males, nowhere even to sit down.  It was instantly the "cool room."  Mostly they turned out to be rather nice decent guys, and sure enough my roommate ended up with one of them as her steady before the week was over.
