The Butt-Rubbing Memoirs


The Butt-Rubbing Memoirs
(confused? so was I)

To my readers: I am not sure words will do this story justice, but for your sake, I will try.

I thought about putting this into the “shit roommate number 1 says,” but I thought it deserved its own post.  It is just too good.  Roommate number 1 said something so funny that I actually fell out of my bed and was writhing on the floor from laughing so hard.  Tears were streaming down my face and I was gasping for air.  I’m sure I was also making weird animals noises.  I am not a pretty crier, and combine that with my laughing attacks of me on all fours, producing weird noises, and I just look scary.  You should know that I love to laugh.  I love to laugh often and with good friends.  It’s just plain good for the soul.  You get a high or buzz from laughing that lasts that just cant be obtained from alcohol or weed.  One time, I laughed so hard and so long that I threw up.  That is how intense my laughter was, but that story (one of my favorites) is for a different day. 

Anyway… so tonight we had a house meeting and then we had a required sex presentation because the house I live in is co-ed.  You know, the difference between what is consent and what is not.  We were required to participate in skits acting out potential situations.  It was super fun!   Nooooo it was a bit uncomfortable to say the least, but we got free condoms in the end, and oral dams that were banana flavored!  Yum.  Well afterwards, the roommates and I retired to our bedroom as usual, but the events that took place afterward were not so usual.  

So we all know that roommate number 1 has a boyfriend that she is disgustingly obsessed with. If it isn’t enough that I wake up everyday to her wall of pictures of him, it is all she talks about at any given point in the day.  He does this.  He does that.  He thinks this.  It is all roommate number 1 thinks about.  Roommate number 2 asked roommate number 1 if she felt uncomfortable during the presentation considering that she and her boyfriend are 100% Christian and do not partake in sexual activity. (This is not private information, she lets everyone know it).  To this, roommate number 1 proudly responded that she and her boyfriend do many things, more than just making out.

To this statement I was a little shocked, but very curious.  I then proceeded to ask roommate number 1 exactly how far they have gone, considering she is always proclaiming how she and her boyfriend are waiting until they are married to have sex.  Now we are all adults here, but the next 10 minutes I did not act like one.  Let me tell you what I heard her say that I can reflect back on for a good chuckle for many years to come.  The conversation went something like this:

            Me: OK, well what exactly have you done?
            Roommate number 2: Yeah, I thought you guys only made out.
            Me: Please give us the dirty details!

To which Roommate number 1 launched into a story that she describes as their romanticism…

Roommate number 1: Well, we like to make out.  At first, we didn’t use our tongues, because neither of us knew how to.  But eventually we got there, and now we love using our tongues. 

Aside (referring to my sophomore year English notes, this is a remark stated by a character intended for only the audience to hear): This is not the most disturbing part, keep reading.

Roommate number 1: In all seriousness: Well we do more than make out.  Putting on a devious smirk, sometimes, we lift up our shirts and touch our stomachs together.   Giggles erupt.


Me: Sarcasm undetected by roommate number 1: Well, that is just crazzzzayyy. You are such a dirty girl!

Roommate number 1: But there’s more! We have started to go really far. Recently, we have started rubbing each other’s butts!

To which I fall off of my bed and roll onto the floor in laughter, tears falling down my face, slapping the floor, and gasping for breath. She was just so proud of their most recent non-sexual expedition.   

If you are not laughing right now, maybe you had to be there for it to be funny.  Just the innocence in the way that Roommate number 1 thought she was bad for some good ole fashioned butt-rubbing is pure comedy.  (Microsoft word wants me to unhyphenate “butt-rubbing,” but clearly spell check is just out of line on this one).

This happened a few hours ago, and I have since walked past her saying, “booty had me like” 4 times.  I will address her this way from now on, but it's all in good taste.
