For the past two weeks my printer has rested peacefully in the middle of my living room floor. I have refused to dispose of it in the hopes that it will serve as motivation for writing about our tenuous, complex relationship. The frustrations and joys of printer and Harmony mirror history’s not-so-perfect couples, from Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn to F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald. We have sparred, lurching into attack with the fierce battle cries of Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort. We have also worked together during tenuous truces, like the French and the colonialists during the Revolutionary War (school being the war we must overcome).

Princess Peach, Spiderman and Darth Vader were there. So were Snow White and Batman. The characters from every child’s and nerd’s dream paraded in front of the toy store like an eclectic gag from “Family Guy.”

Confession: since I picked up my first book, I have been a nerd. Make-up or clothes shopping never interested me as much as the next Harry Potter book or the upcoming chess tournament.

She is a beacon of ASU spirit — a light grey coat, a mane of scorching maroon and gold, a spiral horn protruding from her forehead, the image of a pitchfork on her flank and huge, bright yellow eyes that say “dare me.”

A six-foot-tall person looks through a half-inch hole to see an infinite universe. It’s not just math, nor is it just science -- it’s the ASU Astronomy Club’s goal to reach everyone interested in worlds beyond our own.

His voice fluctuates between screams of frustration to whispers of reflection. Arms point, flutter, extend, contract, clutch and elevate in random yet harmonious synchronicity, telling stories never before heard, but always known.

A twitch of the hair, a tap on the shoulder, laughter in the distance: all these paranormal happenings are said to have occurred multiple times at the Hotel San Carlos in downtown Phoenix.

It rests in the middle of traffic on Main Street as if it owns downtown Mesa, as if the wind had not pushed the gray, dull trash receptacle into the middle of west bound traffic, as if it had rolled into the street with the sole intention of causing chaos — a simple object, but an ominous force for a car traveling at 30 miles per hour.

The microphone presses against his lips like a lover. He plucks the guitar with the delicacy of a mother caressing her newborn child. The crowd uses the floor as their amphitheater, clutching bottles of beer and the bright red straws of tall mojitos. Couples hold hands, singles perch on barstools, all clapping and swaying contentedly to the rhythms of Nick Heward’s guitar.

He exhales, crouching in the middle of a secluded garden on the ASU campus. Energy pulses through him.
