Is it weird that I'm posting this?

Probably. But it seems most efficient.

You see, I was going to narrate the touching story of the Lonesome Lizard, but instead of just telling you, I have chosen to let you experience the moment for yourself! Via old Skype conversations!

A quick ctl + c and ctl + v later, and voilà...

nilgolodh: Hey, Jason, do you want to go to lil India this weekend?

Jas: sure

Jas: what about Lexi?

Lexi: alive

Jas: good, good

nilgolodh: She's the one who suggested it

Jas: oh, I see

Jas: excellent

nilgolodh: when shall we go?

Lexi: there's a super fast micro lizard on my wall

Lexi: what's the proper protocol for this situation?

Lexi: it's not covered in my "How to live in Singapore" handbook

Jas: put your hands over your eyes and scream

Jas: I believe

Jas: while dancing around in the room

Lexi: I thought about it, but it seemed like a wasted effort

Jas: hmm

Lexi: the real problem is that it's disappeared behind my desk

Jas: how could you make friends with it? do you have anything it might want?

Lexi: my life?

Jas: like cookies?

Jas: well, I guess anything you'd be willing to give to keep it satisfied

Jas: so that it doesn't take that

Lexi: I have a banana

Jas: hmm

Lexi: Maybe if I can't see it, it doesn't exist

Jas: true with some lizards

Jas: but not all

Jas: more likely, it's calling all its friends

Jas: and amassing an army to make an assault on your banana

Jas: if you suspend it from a nylon string from your fan in the middle of the room, and turn on the fan, it'll probably be safe

Jas: because the lizards won't climb through the fan

Jas: little known fact

Lexi: ha!

Lexi: My roommate entered, seemed quite calm, and exited. She said they live here, too. Or something to that extent. I may be taking paraphrasing liberties.

Jas: sure, they live here

Jas: that doesn't mean you should let them coexist peacefully

Jas: that's what they /want/

Lexi: I'll stage a coup at some point

Jas: I'm pretty sure you're only required to keep one roommate

Jas: so you could probably keep the lizard and kick out the girl

Jas: if you want

This concludes the Lonesome Lizard drama.

Thank you for joining us.

Come back next week when we meet the Tailless Tomcat and the Calm Cockroach of NTU!
