Coffee and a Conversation

As Told Over Brunch is a home for intelligent discourse from the twenty-something perspective - so the stuff you gossip about over mimosas on Sunday morning or over takeout on your friend's couch when happy hour ends too early. We love chatting about our lives, whether it be the relationships we’re building (or destroying), lessons we've learned at work, struggles at school, growing pains we've felt, or even the food we’re talking over.

Sex and Serial Killers, Part I

May 23, 2016 by Cazey Williams in Cazey's Column, Humor, life lessons

Twice in my life I have been forced to share a hotel room with people I didn't know until we became temporary roommates. The first was a probable serial killer and the second was an exhibitionist if there ever was one.

Flashback to my undergrad. My adviser suggested I attend a conference out-of-state, I told her I didn't have a car, and she said she'd hook me up with her other advisee. "Bo" picked me up on a gray, hungover Friday morning. He drove a black truck with a hatch meant for storing corpses. Bo also wore all black including a slicker and galoshes so the blood spatter wouldn’t ruin his pants.

I recently made the long journey from Richmond to Connecticut, a trek that has historically never went well for me. But this time, it was different. Instead of fighting with shitty flights, or overnight train rides or sitting in traffic alone, my roommate and I worked our schedules so that we could drive home together. The pro of this is multifaceted: it's always great to have a road companion, her car is new and she had a podcast planned out for us.

I could have gone either way originally on the podcast. On the pro side, I've never listened to one before so it would be interesting, but on the con side I've never listened to one and thought it could make me sleepy. However, we got it started. She popped on the first season of Serial.
