Insincerity is a Lie
By: Laura Wood


“Aaargghhhh!!  Ughh…. Daggonit… That freakin hurts…. Etc, etc, etc…” Alissa the lovely roommate exclaimed.
“Are you alright?” I chimed in a slow, mechanical, absolutely unfeeling response from my bedroom.  You see, Alissa always has a gripe and complain.  She seemed to think that her experience of putting in a nose ring qualified as yet another reason to distract the entire apartment from homework, and simply our own peaceful lives at the moment, and engage us in sympathies for her all-important life.  Alissa now receives the attention of insincere roommates as to not drain us of our sanity and energies that should not be interrupted every two minutes to help her with things, and to ask her to elaborate upon her frequent gripes and complains about life.  Granted, the girl has had a rough life, but the constant request for attention wears on us!
