Bwah! "Rock and Roll Pee!" makes my day. Much appriciated.
So, I can't tell anyone IRL, because I'm sworn to secrecy, but my best MTV-watching, bar hopping, gossip loving girlfriend just found out she is pregnant. I can't voice my own selfish freak-outs on her, since she's freaking out plenty on her own, but they are there. She was going to move in with me if the roomie moves to London, so I may end up having to move back in my with parents. And, she was my go-to girl. Now all of my friends will have gotten married, or moved away, or had babies. She was my hold-out. Now, I slack alone.
t /Childish, bratty pity party.
She wriggled her hips in her new skirt and shouted, "ROCK N ROLL PEE!"
I adore this and will think that every time I pee now.
So I'm sitting here, listening to my classical playlist and thinking it was a little slow for first thing in the morning. Immediately following that thought, on comes the Queen of the Night taking the high C to task and making it her bitch. "OK, that was cool," I think, "but--" To be immediately followed by "Great Gates of Kiev," with timpani and trumpets, and if my mind's still cloudy after this it's my fault.
Now, I slack alone.
Yeah, but you're all young and stuff. Come to Boston/Somerville- plenty of slackers here. In my circle of friends, in our 30s, we're finally just starting to pair off and get married/shack up. Not so many friends with kids.
You've still got some quality slacking time left.
But it does suck to slack alone. So come here, and slack with all of us!
What Nora Said. Here in Boston, we're all about the slack.

Hardly, Lilty - that's a major set of events, and not having a roommate and needing one? Major, major problem. The first place I got on my own I had to because my then roommate decided to move to Minnesota (that only lasted a summer or so), I couldn't afford to keep our place by myself, and I didn't want to deal with finding a roommate.
Also? What Nora said.
Well, it's cold but maybe there's somewhere I fit, after all.
I just decided not to take the next actuarial exam. I'm pretty sure that's the right thing to do - studying is realy not going well, or at all, most of the time - yet I keep getting all weepy over it. God I hope that's PMS, for once.
-t, I think you probably did make the right decision. You've been dealing with a lot lately, and there's nothing wrong with figuring out how best to take care of yourself by taking some of the pressure off. How are you doing otherwise?
Also, Lilty, Western Mass. is another excellent slacker zone... ijs.
But it does suck to slack alone. So come here, and slack with all of us!
Be prepared. Should things go my way, within a year I may be putting out feelers to see if any of you know of folks looking for a roomie. It's the goal.
ETA: And thank you guys. I obviously don't want to be anything but supportive to my friend right now, and I can't tell anyone else. I need to do my own freaking somewhere.
