The first time I met Phil he stumbled into my dorm room drunk, and after several minutes of incoherent rambling vomited all over my floor. I passed him several times in the hallway after that, but despite my approaches, my attempts to make light of the situation, he never said much. My initial thought was that he was peculiar, if not a bit of a jerk. It wasn’t until the next semester that I actually got to know him.
