Just two roommates...

In the second age of humankind, in January of 1994, there was born a human named Jonathan Barrett. Soon after, in January of 1997, there was born another human named Brianna Ashlee Little. As time passed, it seemed certain that these two individuals were meant to be together... as roommates. While they first met in 2016, Jonny & Bri’s friendship truly began in late 2017, when they ended up in a coed living situation with three other roommates in Lakewood, WA.

Tragedy strikes!

Both Jonny & Bri’s early careers were both met with hurdles, which ultimately only made their friendship stronger.

You see... Bri wanted to be the first female astronaut. She trained mercilessly in the most elite dojo’s to be in peak physical condition for the job. Disaster struck in 2018: a google search revealed that it was impossible for Bri to be the first female astronaut because Valentina Tereshkova had already done that in 1963. She then immediately gave up on her dream and settled for being a musician.

Meanwhile, Jonny’s lifelong dream of becoming an accountant was on a one way flight to tragedy. This was due to a shocking discovery at a doctor’s visit that determined that Jonny could only count to four. Crushed, Jonny coincidentally also settled for being a musician.

The funny feelings

Through a shared connection of being terribly bad at math, and being kind of decent at playing music, Bri & Jonny’s friendship seemed indestructible. In 2018, they toured the US in a hard rock band, where something terrible happened: Jonny and Bri started to like-like each other. But that would be reckless if they ever got together.. Because they were roommates!!!!

For months after the tour ended, Jonny and Bri tip-toed around each other to avoid “the funny feelings”. Amidst their best efforts, it was obvious to others that they were into each other. They would often say entire sentences in sync, kind of like the freaky twins from The Shining. They shared a mutual love of video games, Childish Gambino, Fight Club, and all kinds of other things. When asked, they would both vehemently deny any allegations of like-liking each other. Afterall, they were ROOMMATES. The horror!

OMG just kiss already gross

This “Will they? Won’t they” continued well into Spring of 2019, when a fateful showing of Detective Pikachu changed everything. The theater had those fancy reclining seats, which felt oddly.. Romantic. Then Jonny & Bri went home after the movie and were playing a couple rounds of MicroMachines on the Nintendo64. After a several rounds of fetch with Allie (Jonny’s dog), an hour of semi-awkward small talk, almost an entire year of avoiding their silent romantic tension, Jonny finally made their move: they tossed the ball to the side, where they seamlessly put their arm around Bri, like a pro. The rest.. Is history.

After enduring many sequels-worth of material, such as book 2 entitled "Surviving COVID-19", and book 3 entitled, "Oh I Actually CAN Do Music For A Living" it seems they are onto book 4, entitled "OMG We're Getting Married Now, Wow". And yes, Jonny & Bri are still roommates.

To view the debut of "OMG We're Getting Married Now, Wow" please RSVP to our wedding.
