Last night, my roommate and I decided to order pizza.
I answered the door when the pizza arrived and then things got interesting.
I handed him money and he tried to hand me the pizza, and suddenly I had that feeling, and knew I was going to faint/fall. The following conversation ensued.
SS "Just put it on the Sofa!"
PG: Just stands there, looking surprised, and again asked where to put the pizza.
SS. PUT IN ON THE SOFA!
SS then passes out. My roommate rushes in to see what the commotion is all about. I come to pretty quickly.
PG. "Is this some sort of fraternity/sorority rush prank?"
SS. "No, I just have a fainting disorder.
PG. Are you sure it isn't a prank?
SS. Yes.
PG. Are you ok?
SS. Yes.
He finally set the pizza on the sofa and my roommate took it to the kitchen.
End scene.
In three years, of constant falling, I have been called many things- a liability, a weevil (as in "weevils wobble but they don't fall down,") and a host of other things. But I haven't been accused of fainting for a prank. Ok, so I did take out a display at Rite Aid once, but everyone there knows me and we just laughed it off- though the staff occasionally teases me about it. But 8 years after I graduated from college, I am finally considered "cool" enough to be part of a sorority! (I was a member of the GDI at college.)
Sometimes, all you can do is laugh!
