I guess
there is no way to start this off without sounding embarrassing, but one of my
favorite things in this whole wide world is pizza. Thankfully one of my best
friends and roommates enjoys the cheesy carb-loaded
delight just as much as I do. We sort of have this tradition that no matter
when or how, at the end of a night going out, we end up back at our apartment
with a box of joy.
This
habit has been a long time in the making. I really don't know any college
student who doesn't enjoy eating late with friends. It is one of the most
common bonding activities people can do (in my opinion.) My friend and I have
our usual place that we go to off of Berry Street. It is actually getting quite
entertaining every time we call to order because they know exactly who it is
calling and exactly what we want. "One medium cheese pizza with two sides
of garlic sauce"
The
laughter we share during these experiences is too much to even document.
However, this past weekend after the football game my friend and I had a pizza
experience that can be topped by no other, which caused us to laugh
uncontrollably. It will go down as one of the funniest and weirdest things we
have ever done.
It was
getting to be a very wet game for the frogs, and my friend and I were starting
to become extremely hungry. We decided it was time for us to leave and do what
we do bet. As we left the stadium I called up the number, which I dial so
frequently to place our order. It must have been an off day because they asked
who was calling and did not know any information regarding our traditional
order. Nevertheless, I carried along giving the person all the needed
information. After he hung up my friend and I continued to walk up Stadium
drive in pursuit to the pizza. As we were crossing the street, out of the
corner of my eye, I saw the pizza delivery car. I locked eyes with my friend,
and we ran towards the car. My friend (braver than myself) knocked on the window,
and the driver rolled it down and asked what we wanted. She briefly explained
how we just ordered a pizza and asked for a ride. I was shocked and cracking up
at the same time. I can't believe we flagged down a pizza deliveryman and asked
him for a ride back to the restaurant so we didn't have to walk. Thankfully the
man was in good spirits and let us in the car.
My friend
and I could barely get a word in without cracking up. The delivery guy was
enjoying our fit of laughter and questioned how much we loved pizza. Once we
got to the pizza place we thanked our driver and went on our way. After paying
for our pizza my friend and I were at it again, and found a TCU shuttle to take us back to our
apartment (which I might add was not apart of the route) We were so grateful
for the two free rides we got, and couldn't stop laughing about what had
happened for the rest of the afternoon. I guess the conclusion we came to after
what had happened is that there really isn't anything we wouldn't do for a
pizza.
Danielle, that is so funny! I can't even imagine flagging down a pizza man, but I'm sure that I would be in a similar state. That is, laughing until I was crying!
ReplyDeletePizza is probably the best thing ever deemed edible. There are so many forms of it as well: regular pizza (with wide variety of toppings and flavors), pizza sticks (think Toppers sticks), pizza rolls, hot pockets, bagel bites, calzones, pita/flatbread pizza, and not to mention the amount of pizza flavored items, just to name a few. I often stay, and strongly believe, that I could eat pizza, in any form, for every meal for the rest of my life. It is slightly an obsession, and I have (obviously) put quite a bit of thought into it. So I completely approve of your love for the great food, and found this story absolutely hilarious. Keep calm and pizza on, my friend!
ReplyDeleteStatistics show that eating with someone is an incredibly bonding experience. I think its awesome to have a tradition in your room between eating pizza and just bonding. My roommate and I have bonding experience usually when he decides that we need to go to canes by any means possible even if we don't have a car. That is why I have no frog bucks.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you one of my favorite things to do with my friends is eat!! I think that going out to eat is such a social experience and it is almost necessary to keep up friendships. I really enjoyed your story and I know I have several similar ones of my own!! When you have food on your mind there's generally nothing you wouldn't do to get it. I admire your bravery because I don't think I could have ever asked a complete stranger for a ride!!
