Inside jokes should stay inside

Since writing overly detailed Wespeaks to your friends and housemates seems to be all the rage these days, I thought I’d jump on the bandwagon, since, well, I’m a joiner. Kate, I really liked that green skirt you wore to the sex party. Can I borrow it sometime? Shayla, thanks for letting me borrow your car the other day to go to the supermarket. Sorry I took so long, but the cashier was telling her friend a great story about surprising her ex-boyfriend with news of their baby, which she had just over a year ago, entirely unbeknownst to him, and I just had to hear how it turned out. Cait, hope you had a great time in the city this weekend, when are you coming home? Tell Isabel to visit again soon. Niv, how ’bout Magritte’s ‘le fils de l’homme’ for your thesis carrel? I found a great print online that’s pretty cheap. Missy, you’re totally right. Whitman rocks compared to Hemingway. Jess, sorry if I left pink boa feathers all over your room this weekend. I’ll come clean them up. Emily, I changed my mind, don’t tell that freshman in your dance I have a crush on him. I can do it myself. And Sonny, thanks for hanging out the other night even though the Management wound up not playing.

To anyone I’ve left out, my apologies. Rather than give you a call on your cell phones (which according to last week’s Argus are becoming increasingly popular- who knew?) or leave you a note on your whiteboards, I’ll be sure to write another Wespeak next week about things that generally interest the Wes community at large very little and simply serves as a tool to display my razor sharp wit and enormous vocabulary. Get my point kids? And by the way, the cashier’s ex-boyfriend’s mother answered the phone so she hung up. He still doesn’t know.
