My boys will be staying in the Syracuse University dorms week after next. I will give a full report. They are also mad at me for making them room with each other instead of strangers. Oh well.
I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

I miss having my own space. Of course, if I didn't have a rommate, I probably wouldn't leave the building.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I don't know how I survived 4 years of a roommate. Really.
There are days when I miss having an apartment-roommate, but that's different, because we aren't sleeping in the same cell-like space.
Most days, though? I love living alone. My entire apartment is one big nerd-hole.

This made me laugh... where's Rio when you need her? Steph, I do think living alone rocks.
I'm not so good with roommates, because I'm cranky and need my space. But I do wonder if it's much harder now than it was 40 years ago for college students to adjust because most of us have never shared a room with someone. Ever.
Though all three of my friends kids currently share one bedroom. I bet they'll make great college roommates.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I shared a room with my sister until I was about 15. I'd even share with her again, under slight duress.
Strangers? Nah.

I was really worried about this when I came to school, and though it's been okay thus far, I have my doubts about being given a randomly selected roommate come this fall. What I'd really like to do is get an apartment off campus, but that's about as possible as my roommate having Keanu Reeves' children.

Strangers? Nah.
And yet you shared a room with Allyson?
I had some good roommates and some Kathy-like roommates. Then I lived alone my final semester of school and that worked best. But was damned expensive. Yet still slightly cheaper than the dorm.

Huh.
Huh.
Yes, you are very right. But that's Allyson dude. Strange, mayhap, but not a stranger. Like unto a giver of the good things to the people in need.

I know.
Allyson is excellent and amazing. But I've seen her apartment.
It's amazing what you'll do under the duress of moving from some place you hate.
edited to clarify: cause her apartment is neat and clean and lovely but it's still a studio, yo.

Mostly, I just worried I was in her way.
When I house-sat for Colin, the house was really echoey and empty and quiet. And then the co-housesitter showed up, and I resented him even though I never saw him.
Going back to Allyson was nice.
