Just when I thought the roommate weirdness level had peaked, new frontiers were forged earlier today. I was cleaning my room around noon or so and my roommate was listening to music on his headphones. Well that might be a little bit of a stretch. I’m not quite sure if it qualifies as music… It’s one of those strange bands that seems to have one member who’s sole purpose is to scream loudly into the microphone at apparently random points during the song. How do I know, you may wonder, if he had on his headphones? Well he likes to turn it up loud enough so that it can be heard fairly clearly across the room. What do I care? They’re his ears, right? It wouldn’t be quite so amazing if they were the over-the ear type headphones. These obviously can get pretty loud. But these are the in-the-ear-next-to-your-eardrum type headphones.
So anyways, I can hear this music (being generous here once again) going on behind me and I figure everything’s ok… That is until I hear him scream really loud like he just dropped something on his toe. I turn around wondering what has just happened to him and to my surprise, he’s just standing there like nothing odd just happened.
I’m not sure if he suddenly got the urge to yell along with the random screamer mentioned earlier. (No, I’m pretty sure that’s not it, it would make some amount of sense.) Maybe he does stuff like this on purpose. That would mean he purposefully makes himself look like an idiot. Maybe he’s just really as weird as he acts. Who knows? At least his weirdness is useful for a few good laughs each day.
At any rate, the roommate weirdness level shot up once again today with no sign of it descending any time soon.
