ThinkGeek - Cool Stuff for Geeks and Technophiles

As I sit here blogging from the distant past I’m looking over my sadly neglected article ideas folder. It’s where I put ideas for WHU entries; however, my actual process usually involved thinking of something, making a mental note of what a great article that is that needs to be written, and then forgetting about it immediately (other than the lingering certainty that I had a fantastic idea at some point). Anyhow, the result is that my ideas folder tends to basically collect junk. There are a whole ton of random quotes, most of them wow-related, but also an increasing number of roommate stories.

I think the roommate stories happen because I’m usually working on WHU stuff when they happen — either she comes in the computer room and says something crazy (then hits me, usually) or I’m taking a smoke break with her and she says something crazy, then hits me. So here are the roommate notes currently in the WHU article ideas folder:

Roommate comes into the computer room and sits at the other computer. This is a big deal for her, as she usually refuses to use the “demon box.” After a short time she’s making  increasingly cranky noises, until finally she blurts out: “Goddamn it just show me your underwear!” I continue my raiding, thinking silence is the safer road. This is uncommonly wise of me. I do not get hit.

I’m chatting with the roommate, and she’s telling this story about helping her friend move earlier that day:

Roommate: It was funny, they were all treating my like I was fragile. They wouldn’t let me lift anything heavy.
Frostheim: Well sure, you’re a girl, therefore you are fragile.
Roommate: I am NOT fragile.
Frostheim: You’re a delicate flower.
Roommate: That’s true, I am.
Frostheim: Like a marigold.
Roommate: I hate marigolds! They aren’t delicate.
Frostheim: Yeah, and neither are you.
Roommate: Fuck you. I’m goddamned girly and delicate! (hits Frostheim)

Roommate comes into the computer room while I’m raiding, looking droopy and exhausted. She sits down next to me and puts her head on my shoulder.

Roommate: I need your help. Teach me to be like you and have no emotions so people don’t come to me with all their problems.
Frostheim: Yeah, you see how that isn’t working out, right?
Roommate hits frostheim.

    I think you have been going to the zoo and hanging out with elves and it has affected your mind :D

  2. Anon says:

    When a girl asks to see your underwear it is never wise to deny that request!

  3. Nite says:

    I think I’m crushin’ on your roomate, she’s teh awesomesauce. <3

  4. Arissea says:

    That was an awesome post! Love those funny tidbits. :)

  5. Si says:

    Best post I’ve read all year. Nearly crashed my car reading it.

  6. Horde4Lyfe says:

    Women are wired differently that we Frost. They don’t think like we do… My wife is a prime example. “Oh, you don’t wanna talk because your looking at your gear.” : /

  7. Alihandra says:

    women are goddamn delicate flowers… don’t forget it… probably why you should stop trying to set our she-trees on fire during raids.

  8. Anaia says:

    Thanks for the giggles. Hope it was clean underwear.

  9. Alisaunder says:

    Did Marigold hit you after reading your article? I actually LOLd on the last one.

  10. Llyrra says:

    Women do read this blog, fyi. I’m a woman and I read WHU!
    …Jeez, it sounds like I’m admitting an addiction: Hi. My name is Llyrra. (Hi Llyrra!) I read Frostheim’s blog.”

    Just ask her out.

  11. Máher says:

    haha Warcraft Hunters Union Anonymous

  12. Kalenz says:

    The last one :
    “Roommate: I need your help. Teach me to be like you and have no emotions so people don’t come to me with all their problems.
    Frostheim: Yeah, you see how that isn’t working out, right?
    Roommate hits frostheim.”
    Is just Epic

  13. threesixteen says:

    pics or it didn’t happen.

  14. Xansa says:

    Haha your roommate sounds awesome, all men should realise we are not fragile but we are delicate flowers, BIG difference :D

  15. QueenOfBlades says:

    I’d like to think I’m more like a weed than a flower, or perhaps a fungus.

  16. Emy says:

    All I can say is, I like your roommate :D

  17. Kyle says:

    Llyrra, will you marry me? xD

  18. Mêraned says:

    Omg not hunter related but even more epic than an hunter post on lvl85 raiding…
    No wait these are of equal epic awsomeness ^.^

  19. Axebrew says:

    That’s an awful lot of hitting for just “roommate.” Are there any other signs of affection? Has she begun leaving crumpled flowers with the petals plucked off or small rodents half-chewed?

  20. quivering says:

    i get this paranoid feeling that this whole frost and his roommate thing has a real edward norton/brad pitt in fight club vibe going on.

  21. Yorigrim says:

    Well we could just ask Hrist if he really has a roommate. Hrist, does frost really have a roommate?

  22. Noiros says:

    It just came to me that a podcast of Hrist doing relationship advice would be pure gold.

  23. Goodgracious says:

    Can’t reply – laughing too hard.

    (GG is a girl)

  24. Brezzlin says:

    Great stuff. Will there be more collected Wisdoms form the roommate? I would indeed look forward to those.

  25. Hulder says:

    Rofl!!

    Since we’re doing confessions… I’m a double-x too, as in, chromosomes. Which should be obvious to those who are well-versed in Scandinavian folklore (assignment: Google “Hulder”) :-)

    And can I join WHU Anonymous?

  26. Tazzad says:

    The last one was epic!
    Keep the stories comming!! :D

  27. Dharion says:

    the roomie sounds awesome.

    She single?

  28. Bloodshine says:

    Hahahaha. That’s cute.

    Your roomate needs a pair of Frostheim Goggles by the sounds of it.

  29. Frostheim says:

    Of course women read the WHU! In fact, if the emails I get are any kind of indication, a very large percentage of the readership are women.

  30. Bloodshine says:

    The majority of the WHU readers have to be female! It’s Frostheim’s uncommon good looks!

  31. Florimel says:

    It’s funny because I always associated “uncommon goodness” with elves… (Think cookies)

    This was really funny and your roommate sounds awesome!

    PS I am a female reader to…

  32. Therunn says:

    Watch out Frost…I had a roommate like that. You know what happened to her…she is now my wife.

  33. Kokopops says:

    Only got one thing to say to that… ROLFMAO

  34. xixuu says:

    Always fun to read and brings up some weird memories alike from my own past…. :-)
