roommate complaints

[honeychile]

Let me see...

I also had the roomie-whose-boyfriend-thought-he-lived-there-too. The first time he & I were alone in the room, he announced that, "This is going to be my headquarters." I asked him for a third of the rent.

Then there was the roomie who was an artist, and was inspired around 2-3am on school nights. Inspired by oil paints & thinner. I think my nasal cavity is still clogged.

Can't forget the slob roomie who simply could not get up before 11am, yet scheduled all her classes in the morning, expecting me to force her to get up. Napalm could not wake her up; how could I? Her total number of credits for the term? Zero.

That last one also did wonderful things like borrow my new (not yet oiled/waterproofed) boots to wear in the rain, borrowed my undergucci's and put them back in my drawer without washing them!, had a gag t-shirt made for me with "for a good time, call 555-1212" (which ALL of the employees did), and many other things that I've put out of my mind. This was an intense term for me, and aftert midterms, another friend & I decided to take a weekend in the mountains. I asked Roomie if she'd like to join us, and her response was a very sober, "You know, I think I could use the break." I SO wanted to yell, "From what?!?!?!?"
