Of roommates, quirks, and breathing room

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

This has been a crazy month. Almost as soon as our guests left earlier this month, our best friend Katy started moving in as our new roommate. We’ve had roommates before — four just since we’ve been together, with two of them repeat roommates. However, she’s the first to bring so much […]

Some people just get on my nerves

Monday, April 28th, 2008

I think of myself as pretty easy-going and likeable. I try to understand people, see the good in everyone, and give people the benefit of the doubt. It’s not always easy, but for me it’s a lot easier than the alternative. Still, there are certain people that really ruffle my feathers. […]
