my true love

My true love is doing psets...no, seriously, my true love is au bon pan. I spend approximately half of my waking hours at abp, working/sipping an iced peach lemonade/munching on a shortbread cookie/slurping broccoli-cheddar soup/gulping down a cobb salad wrap/talking/motioning frantically/giggling...it's my home.

It's wonderful because abp is at the border of campus and off-campus. The music is eclectic, and it's a cozy place where Amy and I spend a lot of time chatting. Amy, Julia, Tom, and I had lunch there today.

Tom, Julia, and I smiling slightly for the camera.

*************
Tom: I'm not your TA anymore and I will never teach you again.

Amy: Mimi wants septuplets.
Mimi: Grrrrrrrr.
Tom: You could have blue-eyed, genetically engineered septuplets.

Amy: I see that all men at MIT have lost touch with their razors.
Tom: -------------

Julia: So can you do something bad in one state in the US that isn't a crime in another state?
Mimi: Yes, but you go on trial in the state that you committed the crime in.
Julia: Interesting.
Amy: Most states have capital punishment, but some don't.
*Pause*
Mimi: I'm scared now.

Mimi: Just because I'm vertically challenged doesn't mean that I wear stilettos...
*Amy stares at her very stilettoed feet*
Tom: Stilettos...like that whole dominatrix thing.
Amy, Julia, Mimi: -------

Mimi: When I go away on break, I use an automated fish feeder that lasts about two weeks...
Tom: I can see Mimi's kids with an automated feeder.

Julia: What animal would you be?
Amy, Mimi, Tom: ---------
Julia: What? Have you never heard of this before?

Tom: I'd be a 3-toed sloth, fumbling to climb up a tree, then falling to the ground when I got somwhere, and then getting up and climbing again...
Amy: A sheep dog.
Julia: A bear and a hummingbird. A bear for when someone interrupts me from hibernating and I become exceedingly grumpy.
Mimi: Um...I'd like to be a tiger.

Tom: A tiger and an electric cage...are you saying I should go for aggressive women?

Tom: So how's my roommate as a TA?
Julia: She's great, very organized.
*pause*
Julia: I didn't mean it that way!
Amy: I'll bet she can draw straight lines as well!
Tom: That's just hitting below the belt.

Tom: Why is everyone picking on me?
Mimi: I'm just naturally like this.

Mimi: I would slap you, but I don't know you well enough.
Tom: So I have a free one-day pass to make fun of you?
Mimi:-----------

The Classic:
Mimi: If grad school doesn't work out for you, you could always be a surgeon or something.
*Tom holds out shaking hand*
Tom: I'd make everyone look like Harry Potter.
