24 January, 2009. 1:50 AM.

Friends from home came by tonight—Shaun and his brother Ryan. Matt and I showed them the campus, stumbled upon baby raccoons and a naked party in the Castle, and tromped through the snow to show them Action Justice Louis Brandeis. A call at Usen went out just as they were leaving, somewhere between one and two in the morning. I walked them out to Shaun’s car, and swore aloud upon seeing AMR and Waltham Fire pulling in near H-lot. Shaun asked why I cared so much, and I said that I had developed an unfortunate emotional attachment to the EMS on campus.

Back at my room, I tell Matt that brief anecdote, and he looks at me and says, “Don’t.”

“Why?” I ask.

“EMS,” he says, looking me in the eyes, “Every marriage suffers.”

It’s these things that he says that I don’t necessarily want to hear.
