Andy: Please tell me you are not seriously crying over a cartoon.
Me: {sniff sniff} It’s not just any cartoon! It’s EPIC. Andy: …
I finish sniffling, shut down my computer, and get into bed.
Me: You just don’t understand. You’re not a romantic. Andy: I am too! Me: Oh yeah? How so? Andy: I am a tiny insect that bites people and lodges under their skin, and I was born in the capital of Italy. Me: You’re a Rome ant? Andy: No, I’m a Roman tick! Me: …
Andy: Okay, this isn’t fun anymore. Me: [turns around from computer] What? Andy: I’ve been dancing around the kitchen trying to see how long it would take you notice. It’s been over four minutes.

[proceeds to try and snort my arm]
Andy: Can you feel that? Me: NO! Your nose does not create enough suction for me to feel it on my arm.
[tries harder]
Andy: Can you feel that? Me: No! Andy: Really? Because now I’m actually blowing my nose on your arm.

Welcome to New House 5. It’s not just the top floor of a brand new dorm. For 56 freshmen, it’s home. A place where friends are made and doors are always open. A place where hearts are broken and tears are shed.
Watch as these students try to overcome their flaws and fears to create a bond so special that nothing can pull them apart. Not even themselves.
A reminder about what really matters Fun fact: several YA authors (like Maureen Johnson!) tweeted about this post, and the resulting traffic crashed my site.
