There's been some roommate talk in blog life lately. And since I kind of consider myself the roommate queen, I'm adding my 2 cents.
List:
Erin
Allana
Kelly
Anna, Alina, Julie, Amanda
Farah
Anna (again, but for only 2 weeks, it was bliss!)
First, dorm living. Shoo, you didn't miss anything. None of my roommates last more than a semester (although it was all amicable), finally, my last semester in the dorms I told my RA that she could give me a roommate (I wasn't going to pay $400, or whatever it was gor a single), but I would be hell to live with. I was more specific about what types of things would happen, and I don't think I used the word "hell"- I was much more tactful, trick-sy even. But whatever I said, it worked.
Some of you might remember Erin from my 18th birthday party. She and her friends came down from Peru, IL. (which is next to Canton, although I couldn't tell you for sure if Canton is actually any larger than Peru) Erin was a ton of fun, our first night in our new room we split a bottle of apple pucker and went to some all school party drunk about 6pm and rode some type of hamster wheel ride. (it was heaven) But Erin was messy. Let me rephrase, Erin was MESSY! The girl would change her pajamas so they matched before bed. She would re-blow dry her hair mid day for additional volume. (she was obsessed with "fluff", I think because she was so small) Also, she had a big mouth and repeated some secrets. ALSO, I hit her bf in the balls with the hard part of my tickle-me-elmo one night when I threw it at him for waking me up at 4am, yelling at Erin for talking because she couldn't sleep after taking a hit of acid to late in the day.
Erin was a good time and an interesting girl. She was afraid of fish. Yes, fish. She lived on a lake and was terrified whenever she went in the water of a fish touching her. Anyway, next was Allana. Allana was a good time also, and I would live with her again. I got drunk one night and lost her cordless phone for a week. I assumed I had taken it with me somewhere and asked all our friends and called down to the desk in the lobby to see if someone had found it. She was MAD. I said I would replace it, but I think she was more concerned about my lush lifestyle than the actual missing phone.
Next is Kelly, who's dad is the guitarist for Phil Collins. You might remember Kelly as the barbie look-a-like. Kelly was a blast to live with, we covered our room in baby power in the summer when we put it on together after the shower and then obsessively cleaned throughout the week. Our freshman year, Kelly and I missed eachother se much after a break that while one of us looka shower to go out, the other one sat on the bench in the dorm shower so we could catch up. No wonder people joke about me liking girls.
But Kelly left me to join Pi-Phi. That completed the barbie metamorphosis and she left all of our lives forever. (or close enough)
Break time, this post is becoming entirely too long.
