    My friends are really good when we need each other.

    Whenever someone breaks up with their girlfriend or some bad shit like that happens, you call one person.

    They then call everyone, you just get told to go somewhere and everyone is there, then we all do whatever the unhappy person wants regardless of your own circumstances.

    I remember a couple of years ago when I was crushed from a breakup.

    I made one phonecall, half an hour later I was on a couch at my mates place with a beer, two hours later we were off just doing stupid stuff like wearing pillows on our heads (garunteed way to cheer anyone up), another two hours later we were in the city drinking like fishes, the barmen ended up spilling tequilla all over me and we did more silly things.

    Over half of us ended up throwing up and we coined a new phrase for vomiting which is known as pushing bacon, as my friend had to throw up in the sink (both toilets and the bath were already taken) had to push the bacon he ate down into the drain as the filter but caught it.

    It just cheered me up imensley cause I knew there were still people out there that would do anything for me.

    I'm usually the guy my friends go to when shit goes down. Which is why I hate it when they intermingle, since when a relationship goes sour I have to deal with stupid drama on both sides.

    It's nice of your mom to be cool like that. Unfortunately, even though I pay rent, I'm still basically living like I was when I wasn't.

    It could be worse, but she's the one to asked me to move back, so I fully intend on riding the 'you need me' train all the way to the station

    Don't room with friends unless you know each other's living habits really well, or are both really accomodating.

    As it happens, I'm moving in with a dude I know, and a dude I sort of know. the former is the guy who owns the house and is taking the basement for his room, while the latter dude purposely went for the cheapest room. which left me to pick between the cheapest room's twin, or the Master Bedroom with twice the space for only $25 more. the decision wasn't hard. I just hope we can stand each other's quirks long enough to change our habits and get used to each other.

    You can construct your own roommate in Portland with hobos and tape, I suppose

    It seemed there were enough of them so that you could pick and choose your hobo-roommate parts, meaning thousands of customizations are available!

    Not many more than I regularly see in Boston, anyway.

    Honestly, I don't have ANY friends from my childhood, and it's hard to stay friends with a lot of my friends from college. Yeah I comment on their blogs and websites and stuff but that's about it. It's just really hard to keep a friendship when you never get to hang out unless you talk every day or mostly every day.

    I also tend to be kind of...stand offish? Maybe this keeps me from really bonding, I don't know.

    Anyway, hopefully I will have some stronger friendships in the future. I've secured at least one!

    Yes, friends fucking other friends' girlfriends.

    None of it involved me, but it really kinda tore the house apart. There's a reason we all don't live together anymore.

    Boy have I!

    One of my friends started getting into drugs majorly, culminating with him trying to defraud a bank by writing bad checks. When the bank caught on a while later, he fled to SoCal and became basically a slave to a drug dealer.

    Also, my other friend got arrested because of that. I mean, it was his fault too, since he was in on the stupid scheme to begin with, but I'm still pissed at the first guy for being such a stupid pussy.

    My friends are always at my house even when I'm not here. My mam just lets them in and they all sit down with her and chat. They jokingly call her "ma" and 1 of my friends even lived in my house for a month.

    My friends are great but they will get on my nerves from time to time.

    Last year my best friend from high schoolmoved in with my wife and I. We had a great time having him here, and he taught my wife to play Magic which is both awesome and scary because now she's as addicted to the game as I am. When he moved out, we all cried like little girls.

    This.

    Fuck LSD.

    Before we had a house, my friends and I lived in this apartment, and basically six people I knew all decided to trip on acid. I didn't because, well, I have the kind of job where I'm expected to be there as much as possible.

    Even then, just a terrible fucking few days.

    The first night they do it, they're laughing uncontrollably. We had pretty thick walls, but these laughs could honestly be heard halfway down the street. The next morning when I woke up and got ready for work, they were all in the living room, entranced by Back to the Future. I take a shower, and when I get out, I found out that one of my roommates had to use the bathroom, and couldn't hold it. He had pissed his fucking pants in the hallway.

    So later on that night, I had an hour lunchbreak at work, so I thought I'd go check on them.

    There are fucking cop cars in the apartment complex. One of my friends (who's still kinda trippy) comes over and tells me "Oh Tony went to his mom and sister's apartment and apparently he was acting really violent and lashing out and they called the cops," afterwards I see my friend Tony running from the complex. A few cops chase him down on foot and force him against the car; it takes a few, he's throwing off some of them quite easily. He finally with a few guns pointed at him calmed down and let the officers handcuff him. As they shoved him into the cop car he yelled out "I WILL BREAK THESE CHAINS!"

    We explained to the cops what had happened, why he was acting like that, and they took him to some temporary psych ward. Apparently what had happened was one of the people who was tripping with him started talking to him about the Matrix and how it's real and such, and he just kinda flipped over it. He was released in a few days, relatively normal again. A few months later, he admitted that he never got over that night, and he still believes in the Matrix; he just accepts it, however.

    Weird shit. And it was a terrifying experience seeing one of my closest friends have guns pulled on him.

    That happened with one of my really good friends (mushrooms though, not LSD), but his actual "revelations" were good starts for him to really investigate things about the world and eventually himself. The worst is when someone has a "revelation" and it's just them becoming a pretentious prick.

    I think to be a good roomate you have to put up with alot of stuff and just go about your day. I live with a couple, I can ignore anything.

    I mean they came home from dinner the other night and made pigeon noises at each other for 30 minutes and then had sex. I still managed to follow most of the TV show I was watching.
