There was an article in FM, Harvard’s weekend magazine, today about my roommate Matt. Well, it’s not so much an article about him as it is an article about her falling in love with him despite his various shortcomings. My favorite part (and the part that I think captures Matt best):

In spite of his comedic weakness and questionable taste, I still fell for Matt. I can pinpoint the exact moment it happened. Halfway through the dining hall interview, someone approached Matt with a mundane problem regarding UC funding.

Consuming my own hand was more appealing to me than the five minutes spent discussing this matter. Matt, however, was eating this up. Not only did he appear interested and engaged, he actually was. When the UC staffer (rightfully) apologized for bothering Matt, the gracious president replied, “I don’t want you to ever think you’re bugging me.”

Bam! I was floored. I felt like I had just been hit by a ton of the Japanese shampoo and conditioner that Matt uses to style hair—hair that I had once found repulsive, but which now seemed, inexplicably, to beg for my caress.

So funny and so true.
