ruususokkusu (01:06:22 pm): you know
ruususokkusu (01:06:31 pm): i've never been rickrolled
ruususokkusu (01:06:36 pm): so today
ruususokkusu (01:06:44 pm): i rickrolled myself
jotaku (01:06:47 pm): hahah
jotaku (01:07:00 pm): on purpose?
ruususokkusu (01:07:01 pm): and...the thing is...this song? I used to really like this song in like 4th grade ;D
ruususokkusu (01:07:12 pm): also
jotaku (01:07:18 pm): I used to like it, too. I used to think a big, burly black guy sang it
ruususokkusu (01:07:35 pm): his music video reminds me of my friend's music videos, only less trippy
ruususokkusu (01:07:45 pm): like the way he is just dancing around singing by himself mostly?
ruususokkusu (01:08:26 pm): but yeah, you're right about the burly black guy syndrome
jotaku (01:08:37 pm): it's very strange!
jotaku (01:08:46 pm): I'm lucky I didn't actually see the video as a young lad
ruususokkusu (01:08:48 pm): if someone ELSE were singing it, i think it'd probably be even better
jotaku (01:08:52 pm): I might have been confused beyond belief
ruususokkusu (01:08:55 pm): hahaha
ruususokkusu (01:09:18 pm): I think maybe everyone is just insecure because they can't make the kind of commitment this guy can!! ;p
jotaku (01:09:24 pm): haha
ruususokkusu (01:09:35 pm): Everyone is so keen on giving everyone else up that they can't stand it, so they have to make fun.
jotaku (01:09:51 pm): he is NEVER gonna give you up
A lightly edited tongue-in-cheek conversation from...just now. I don't even remember how rickrolling came up, honestly.
Also-- no kidding-- my roommate asked if he could buy a pair of my underwear the other day. Paraphrased as follows:
"I have a super super weird bizarre favor to ask you... Can I buy a pair of your underwear?"
"Why do you want them?"
"Well, I'm sure you know why."
"Well, they're pretty expensive..."
"How expensive?"
"What were you thinking?"
"Hmm...15 dollars?"
"More expensive than that."
"What?!"
"Why don't you just go buy some yourself?"
"Well, it's difficult for me..." [cuz he's a guy]
"Well, it's difficult for me to sell them! 30 bucks!"
So yeah, we haggled over a pair of my underwear. Mostly cuz I thought it was hilarious, but also cuz I'm worse than concave broke and have been for a week. I told him my final offer was 25 and he said he would think about it. I guess I probably shouldn't encourage him, but at least he didn't steal, which is more than you can say about my ex-roommate and my last paycheck *badum ching!* Life is grand.
