Toilet Talk

Earlier this week, I made my way to the bathroom for my daily routine (tee hees). I walked into my usual stall and took a seat. When I looked up, I noticed this pink 8 x 11 sheet of paper that was not there the day before. On this flier were upcoming events at Fredonia and little get togethers in my hall. Pizza parties, new games that they bought for us like a Wii fitness, Apples to Apples, and Taboo. Since it's the month of September, they listed some interesting facts that occurred or occurs in September. Facts like September 15, 1999 was the first and only day Disney World was closed or how September is National rice month, Latino month, and that the most snakes are born during this time (Actually, August is first place, then comes September).

This piece of paper was labeled "Toilet Talk : The paper that keeps you occupied while you're occupied." I thought this was quite a clever idea. I laughed at how it was a paper that kept you occupied while you were in there. And the thing is, it really DOES keep you occupied! I realized that since that day, every time I stepped foot into my bathroom stall, my eyes go directly to that same piece of paper. I would read those same few September facts over again for the hundredth time. It's like a drug you can't stay away from, it's right in your face. Damn, that piece of paper really keeps you occupied!

It's possible that maybe the flier isn't doing it's full complete job. Fliers generally try to get you interested, they try to persuade and inform you about meetings. But, will I be attending those hall gatherings? Probably not. Do I want to have pizza with my RAs? Not really. However, the fact that I actually read it a hundred times over when I'm in there... I think "Toilet Talk" deserves an applause.

So, touche, Toilet Talk. Until our next encounter. c(:
