In which I speculate about the secret life of my college roommate, who has some strange habits: sleeping all day and then waking up at 4 am to go out, turning the heat up in the room as far as it goes and still going to sleep in a winter coat, being mysteriously absent from the room unless she is sleeping, rarely speaking.
The Roommate: the new roommate we are analyzing.

A Robot, Perhaps?

I've been waiting for a good opportunity to write my first post for this blog, and this seems to be it. I have just witnessed a strange and disturbing event (or lack of event, as the case may be) concerning The Roommate.

While The Roommate was getting ready to go out (at midnight, something upon which I will not comment in this post) and I was playing I Won't Say I'm in Love from Hercules, watching the video and singing along. I played it twice, because this is not a song I can just listen to once, and noticed something very odd- my roommate had no reaction to this masterpiece of a musical number. She didn't sing along, say "Hey, I like this song!" or even make a sound of excitement. This is DISNEY, people.

It is my experience that no one can listen to the beauty that is Susan Egan's voice singing the best Disney song ever written and not have SOME kind of reaction.

Clearly, she is a robot.

I can come up with no other explanation for this behavior. I consulted Roomie about it, as well as a few people on Twitter, and everyone was as shocked as I had been. Apparently, I am not the only person who cannot hear a Disney song without instantly bursting into song. Everyone I spoke to was also concerned about The Roommate's failure to respond to what was- almost literally- a goddess singing. (Disclaimer: okay. I know she's not a goddess. But she does end up with Hercules at the end, and if you marry a god, aren't you kind of a goddess by association? It's highly unlikely that they would deny the perfection that is Meg a spot in goddess-dome. I'm just saying.)

I mean, I have nothing against robots. R2-D2, ALLCAPS (circa Don't Unplug Me), Daleks... you know what, scratch that last one.

Anyways. This is just one among many theories I have about The Roommate, all of which I will be sharing with you guys. I think it's important. I think you all need to be informed.

Shocked, Disney-loving college student: out.

  2. I think goddess-dome works like princessship. If you marry a prince and you aren't royalty, then you become a princess.
