Rami & Friends

The Ice Cream Museum (Rami)

The gym isn't half as enjoyable as I imagined it would be. I feel naked without my ear buds in listening to "Bohemian Rhapsody" blaring in my ear.

I finish at the gym relatively quickly. I soon run across the street to a small tea shop to buy some camel meal tea. If you didn't know this, I am a fan of camel meal tea. I love the way the warmness of the beverage feels when it slides down your throat.

I can't stop thinking about Kate. Will she get life in prison or something? I haven't received a single call since Katherine called me, not even from my agent. I thought I would have booked something by now, but no.

I call my roommate Sebastian. Do you want to know something interesting about Sebastian? His voice sounds like nails on a chalkboard, and his face looks like strange male who does make-up on YouTube meets a gallon of Florida Natural orange juice. Yeah, he uses liters and liters of self tanner everyday. He always says he's gonna quit, but he's blatantly addicted. He once put all his bottles of self tanner in a box and said he was never using it again. He lied.

Nobody is obliged to like their roommate, but I always felt like I was for some reason. We just had absolutely nothing in common. He always tells me that me voice is too monotone, but everybody tells me that. It's really hard to tell what emotion I am feeling for some reason. Maybe it's because the tone of my voice suggests my cat just died, but that's just other people talking.

He also always tell me that I'm socially awkward. I understand that too. I never know what to do with my arms, it's like they're just there. My eyes also get really big when ever I speak. I always reach out and grab peoples' hands when I talk. I thought normal people did that, but I guess not.

"Hello?" Sebastian says from the other end. I'm surprised he's not in class, but yet again, I don't have the time, energy, or desire to memorize his schedule.

"I need something to do today," I say, sipping on the hot tea in my hand. "Something to take my mind off of Kate. Are you free?"

"Yeah, around like 3-ish maybe.." He says rudely. "Why? I mean, like, when have you ever wanted to hang out with me?"

"Well, we never hang out," I say. "Why not today?"

"Whatever, just think of something," Sebastian says. "I have class right now. Gotta go."

Then we exchange "goodbye"'s and he hangs up. Not the ideal thing I want to do today.. go and do something with possibly the most annoying human being I've ever encountered. But, it beats laying around all day waiting to see what happens to Kate. I should be good to do something.

I go on Groupon to find something to do, just because I can. I'm not interested in any of the movies currently playing at the cinema. The first thing that pops up is "The Chicago Ice Cream Museum". What is an ice cream museum. I browse through photos. It basically just has a bunch of ice cream themed activities, like swimming in sprinkles. Looks weird.. but fun.

I go to buy tickets, as it may be the most entertaining thing to do today. The only time slot open is 2:00. Hmmm... what did Sebastian say.. three? This will have to do. It's not that I'm dying to go swim in sprinkles, it's that I need to go swim in sprinkles. It seems like the only logical thing that will take my mind off of the thought of my girlfriend getting arrested.

"Procede to Check-Out?" pops up on the screen. I click "YES".

Ice Cream Museum, here I come..
