If you're not doing anything tonight, you should swing by the Commonplace between 7 and 9. My friend Erin's sorority (non-alcoholic service sorority) is doing a crochet night there and I'm totally gonna learn how to make scarves and shit.
So, coffee and crochet and stuff.
Also, I'm gonna dye my hair tonight whoo!
I have class from 6-9, but maybe she'll cancel it. I'm debating whether to go vcause it's gonna be so cold, I'll hafta see.
I've always wanted to learn how to crochet/knit though. I'd skip for you, Sheri! I'll get notes off my gay.
Dooo eeet!
Also, if you do go to class and she lets you out early, come on by.
But I still recommend you get notes from your gay.
There's a korean guy across the hall who will come and bang on our door until we open it. He does this at all hours of the day/night, and only does it to come in and bug my roommate (whether he's sleeping, working on a paper, etc - doesn't matter, whatever he has to say is more important). If none of the 6 of us in the apartment open the front door, he'll come around to the living room window and bang for a few minutes. If that fails, then he comes over and bangs on our bedroom window. My desk is in front of the window, and I usually keep the blinds down and shut. So after a minute or so of him knocking/banging, I'll whip up the blinds and scream 'WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT?!', which usually sends him running back to his own apartment for an hour or so.
Then the process repeats until someone opens the front door.

2 out of my 3 dorm roommates thus far have had girlfriends that I suspect were from high school and I swear their relationships are like mirror images of eachother. The first one lived out of town so she only came to visit once in a while(which usually involved me getting kicked out of the room at some point during the day, with or without warning). They did all the standard annoying lovey-dovey crap while I was there, but the real fun began after she left, with their regular emo phone conversations. I got the impression that she had some serious emotional issues and basically had him thoroughly whipped, and most of their conversations(from what I couldn't help but hear/eavesdrop on through my headphones) were seriously painful to listen to. I overheard enough passive aggressive bullshit that semester to kill an ordinary man. One of them was evidently always upset about something or other, so my roommate was always either kissing ass or trying in vain to act angry while simultaneously kissing ass. One time he demanded(very passively) that she write him a letter of apology. They had a couple of teary half-breakups but as far as I know were still together when I moved out.
My current roomate's gf lives in NYC, so she comes over about twice a week and spends the night. Fortunately I haven't been kicked out of the room yet and I don't mind either of them individually but together their crap is really starting to get on my nerves. She'll come over late in the afternoon, and then basically just lie in bed all day either sleeping, or my roommate pampers her like she's on her deathbed(I'm pretty sure she doesn't have a debilitating illness or anything). I don't know what her deal is but the atmosphere is incredibly stifling. They always talk exclusively in hushed tones, which really gets old after a while. If they're both going to be there I wish they'd at least act like normal people. Lately from the phone conversations it sounds like she's thinking of moving away or something(he just transferred here this semester), so I'm getting an incredible feeling of deja vu.
lived with my old roommates from residence for 3 years no real sweat other than they are all clean freaks so its like hey im going to leave my dishes here soaking maybe wash them later tonight
LATER TONIGHT: GONE?!
this year i'm living with randoms including:
1) the antisocial chinese guy - i was pretty tight with my old chinese roommate and when he did go out he was mega sociable cool guy. but was still a pretty big loner on and off. the new guy plays starcraft watches chinese soap operas and anime 24/7 and lives off of kfc and rice
2) if any of you watch friday night lights i am basically living with riggens, a decent dude but pretty violent temper happening dude likes to drink too. he will usually finish about 6 beers just chilling and illin watching hockey. which is the only really annoying part, he only watches the habs play and when they do anything good or bad he screams like christ on the cross it is insane. but understandable we are canadian after all...

About the girl.
Ok, so he and my roommate are both freshmen. After the first few weeks of the fall semester, they both find themselves in the same classes and developing themselves in the same social circles. Well, it turns out that they both become attracted to the same chick in our sister dorm (each dorm on campus has a sister/brother dorm because we don't have co-ed living on campus). Austin (my roommate) wins out because he is a suave motherfucker, and because Joe doesn't quite grasp American culture yet and is still developing his skills with english.
A few weeks pass, Austin's doing quite well with Kelly, and starts disappearing for a few nights a week. Upon his return one night, Joe was waiting for him outside our door. Austin slips by while he wasn't looking, and we soon start to hear the banging when he shuts the door. We let him in, and he bumrushes Austin and takes him to the floor, yelling things in Korean. Austin flips him on his back and pins him to the floor asking what the hell his problem was, and all Joe can say is 'you fucked kelly' over and over again. Austin gets up, Joe runs to the door. A week passes, and he's back to banging on our door like nothing had ever happened. Then Kelly gets flakey and bails, and we haven't heard from her since. I think she found out about the ordeal, and because she can't handle conflict of any kind, she left.

My only roommate ever was really nice. We had nothing in common, but she still was nice and polite and would invite me to go out with her and her boyfriend and her cousin/friend almost every time they went out, even though I always politely turned her down.
We spent the last month without speaking five words to each other, mostly because we had nothing to talk about.
And then she transferred to a college closer to home at the end of the fall semester, and I wound up with the room all to myself for the next semester, and moved into a single off-campus room the next year.
Considered it inappropriate for me to spend most of the time I was at the apartment in the livingroom (she thought I should always/almost always be hidden in my bedroom).
Accused me of taking stuff from her room, when at one point she took my computer from my room, and left it in hers (I had not given her any sort of permission to do anything like this).
Installed a lock on her door to keep me out, and locked all of her stuff in her room over winter break - again, she kept going into my room to get my stuff, and I always asked before entering her room.
Complained about me to our mutual friends - but made up major lies to do so.
Lied to me regarding anything she thought might benefit her.
Was always complaining that she had no money, but spent $400/month on food (we split the food bill), and then took 3/4 of that food to her boyfriend and his roommate - so, essentially, we were paying their food bill too (this is when I decided we should each just cover our own food costs).
Left messes everywhere, but complained any time anything of mine was not put away.
Lost half of my silverware and some of my dishes, but never admitted to it or offered to replace them.
Sabotaged our internet (messed with some cords), so I couldn't use it, because the modem, router, and cords were locked in her room (she and I split the internet bill 50-50).
Claimed the bigger room because she moved in first, without offering any sort of compensation to me in return.
Lied to me about the heating bill, so that I believed it was about 5 times as expensive as it was, and so I never used the heat through the very freezing winter, which kept her costs down (she mostly stayed at her boyfriend's place then).
Took about 3/4 of the storage space of the entire apartment - including, usually, most/all of the tiny freezer.
And, in case this sounds way the hell outlandish and just biased on my side - several neutral parties who saw the situation agreed with my side... in other words, this girl was just being a bitch of a roommate.
Edit: I have lived with a total of four roommates. Two of the four, we got along well, but were never close friends. One was hell. The fourth started as a stranger, and ended up being a friend. Ironically, the hellish roommate started as a good friend, and I hadn't noticed any of these traits prior to moving in with her.

My other roommates (2 room apartment) are okay guys, but one of them is dating an RA. She's extremely anal about her job, and has written up her best friend for having a beer in front of her. This means no parties in my awesome spacious apartment. She'll also cook crappy food all the time, and never does the dishes after.

Sometimes I pick a fight with my wife so she'll sleep in the spare room and I get the big bed all to myself.
Besides that, I own the house so my will is divine mandate.
During college I lived in a 3 bedroom offcampus rowhouse with a two good friends. Beginning of my junior year I moved to England for a semester and one of the dudes moved out.
This ment we left the other to find 2 replacements.
I get back from england and set to move back in and I find my dishes stacked so high in the sink that it was overflowing. Most of them covered in mold. The floor of the shower black. Black. Holes in the wall where there shouldn't be holes in the wall. To top it off I found my friend fully packed and ready to move the fuck out. Unfortunatly, I was stuck there for a semester.
The bottom apartment in this place was now being rented out by my ex, who happen to have left me while we were both in England.
She ends up befriending the walking filth that now resides with me. Great.
So one night the 3 of them are all upstairs smoking their minds out, I just ended up crashing after a night of drinking elsewhere. The beer hits me at around 6am and I get up to head to the bathroom. Who do I meet in the hall coming from the one roomates room? The ex.
Yep. They fucked, while I was one thin wall away.
Thanks guys.
ps. it was me who removed 3 of the 4 valve stems from your car, not the neighborhood kids.

you know what this means right
you need to pull a series of escalating wacky pranks on her which eventually culminate in her being removed from her position of power
Oh, believe me, I would have loved to do terrible, evil things to her. I contemplated, planned... and never carried them out. See, we had signed a year-long lease together. Had I left, I would have had no place to live, but still been paying the rent there. Also, she was very clever in her doings - it would be quite difficult to actually pin much of anything on her, unless you lived with her and either saw it happen, or saw the amazing number of "coincidences" that she tried to lie about. To everyone else, she is a sweet, helpful, helpless friend, who is always in some sort of (not her fault) trouble or another.
Example - a guy she met online and dated for one summer. According to her, this was/is an evil, stalker guy, who is still pushing her for a relationship, and was creepy and all that.
The truth of the matter - she keeps in contact with him (her initiating contact), and flirts outrageously with him. She creates these "oh poor me" situations, and then uses them to get attention from her friends.
So, between her and me, especially with her spreading lies about me, anything I did would have definitely been marked as the bad-guy thing to do.

Engaged as a junior in High School? That's awesome. I probaby knew 0 people at that age who would mean anything/make a lasting impact on my life apart from my family.
Firstly, she is a slob. Not your average, every day 19 year old slob. Like frightening slob. She lives in the basement, and her room usually has so much stuff on the floor that you can't see the carpet (its a big room too). Not just clothes and stuff either, there is actual garbage, and cigarette ashes, and decomposing food in her room. There isn't even a path to her bed, its just all stuff on the floor. When she comes up to the living room to watch tv, you can tell she's been there because she invariably leaves a pile of trash around. The state she leaves the kitchen in is disgusting. She does not seem to know how to use a trashcan, she leaves garbage on the counter next to the trashcan. She never does dishes, despite making the most mess with her hamburger helper.
She is the most unreliable person I have ever met. She borrows money, or tries to borrow money constantly (I wont lend her a thing anymore). When she does borrow money (which she has previously done without permission) it can take her weeks or months to pay it back. She is always late on money for bills. She spends all her money on smokes and booze. Her parents pay for everything however; rent, utilities, tuition, food, and then a whole ton of extra spending money she regularly gets. She still never has any money. Yet she still agrees to give money to greenpeace, and to sponsor a child, and stuff like that. Why? "Because some people can't say no to things like that!" she says. Her parents pay for these things too.
She is dumb as a brick. She says things, and because she says them seems to assume that they are true. For example "You guys make more mess in the kitchen than I do!". No. No way in hell. But once she says rediculous and obviously incorrect things, she will stick by them and turn it into a yelling match if you press her. She generally does this when I tell her she needs to clean, or do anything else.
She smells. This is at least partly due to the fact that she almost never does laundry. She has gone months without doing laundry before. I dont know how often she showers. But she stinks to be around, and its gross.
She self medicates. She is constantly getting persciptions for various drugs. I dont know what drugs she does recreationally, she has both confirmed and denied that she does coke, she claimed she did heroin one time when she was loaded. I didn't believe her, because she is also a massive attention whore, along with being unreliable.
She is fat, and just lays around watching TBS for days on end.
I've lived with this girl for coming on 2 years, and boy can I not wait to move out.
