Okay. I'd been laughed at by some people when I moved in with my first roommate, Meg, because we were really good friends. Everyone told me that by the end, we wouldn't be friends. I didn't believe them. I ended up moving out before the lease was up, and now me and her don't even talk.
In my current living situation, I have two roommates. Sarah (or Stevie, as we call her) and Annalise. The three of us have been friends for 12 years. Yes, 12. We went to elementary school together from the time my family moved to the Twin Cities and Annalise transfered to private school. I knew what had happened the last time I'd moved in with a friend, but I figured that our 12-year base would be pretty good... I didn't think there was much that could happen.
Stevie&I are even closer than before. We hang out all the time, I can talk to her about anything... she's probably my best friend (aside from Cara, who is in Africa). But we've both had SERIOUS problems with Annalise. This is her first time out of her parent's house, and she gets angry when we run out of milk, don't have duct tape, have to (heaven forbid) CLEAN OUR HOUSE, etc. She sometimes sits in her room and cries about how these things "would never happen at her mom's." She also stays with her boyfriend, sometimes for nights at a time, without letting us know, and gets mad when we don't text or call her to see where she is. She's supposed to be watching her friend's cat, but the cat will go without food or water, doesn't get her litterbox cleaned, etc. Then Annalise gets mad that Stevie&I didn't do it. But we didn't even know whether or not she's getting home.
Basically, there's lots of drama associated with the one roommate. Today, she informed us (after spending the past 7 nights at her boyfriend's house) that when the lease is up, she'll be moving. And right now, she's going to go stay with her parents for a couple days because she's sick (?).
All I've gotta say is that it's going to be very awkward because our lease doesn't end until next May.

I log in to blogger every few days and suddenly it showed you have like ten new posted, that aren't that new. So I am reading them now. Anyway. Roommates are hard! Rooming with friends is even harder!!! In the two years that I had an apartment (off campus) at Dixie College (yeah, I know) I had lots of different sets of roommates. It seems like there is always one, that makes life compete hell. So, yeah. Not to insightful, but it's true. :) <3 It WILL get better!
