It Made My Day

Meg

Having found a room for rent on Craigslist, I went to the bar to meet my new room mates (I am female; the room mates are male). Instead of asking the typical questions like “Do you have pets? Do you have a steady job?” my room mates asked me what my favorite dinosaur was, how I feel about the band Rush, and if I was Team Jacob or Team Edward. IMMD.

Author’s Answers

… My answers were velociraptor, that I’m even more into Rush since I broke up with my exboyfriend the Rush nerd (whose favorite band was Rush because he asked his parents who sang a particular song when he was younger and they said Rush, and then when he was in high school, he found out it was actually Journey who sang his favorite song), and I snorted in my Yuengling when they asked about Twilight. “Overprotective clingly sparkly vampire or hairy underage werewolf with godawesome abs…”

Incorrect source or offensive?

  7. Rich says:

    Please say the Twilight question was a test. Like, the correct answer was, “No.”

  8. Hyuzen says:

    Maybe its where I live but honestly no one talks about dinosaurs anymore…
    anyone else getting a weird MLIA vibe from a few of these IMMD’s? i’d hate to see this site turn into one big contest for the biggest lies.
    i like that a lot of the submissions on this site seem real.

  25. Thomas says:

    Pterodactyl, Rush is awesome, and neither Team, but if I had to pick one, I’d pick Team Jacob, because at least he is a man and not a fairy.

    • Oooh piece of candy says:

      Edward isn’t a fairy.
      You make him sound like Tinkerbell.
      Edward is a vampire, a sparkling….. nevermind.

      (and before someone decides to yell at me for liking Twilight (again), I am not at all serious about my defense of it)
