my new roommate is social and it kinda weirds me out

[fizzgig]

this is my fourth roommate in 2 1/2 years, although there have been times i've lived alone

the new roomie moved in on monday. for the past year i'd lived with someone who never came out of their room. i've staked the living room out as my own...i spend most of my waking time here with my laptop and tv (i don't have a tv in my room). it was the same way with my first roommate, so it's become 'my' space

i am now in a position again to have to compromise on what show to watch

i'm not complaining...it's just weird to share again...even if i had to miss svu last night x(

[DarkTirade]

1. Compromise is one thing...

but missing SVU? That's just...

oh wait. I don't watch that show. I don't know if it's worth missing or not. :P

[fizzgig]

2. oh hush

that show is my crack :P

3. Just say "erm Dooga bafoodly"

with a wild eyed look. When the roommate doesn't respond quickly enough, then you yell "you aren't my twin!"

They will leave the room. Guaranteed.

5. that'll proably just crack him up

he's great like that :D

4. Reminds me not to be a "roomate"

If I have to hide in my room, I'd just as soon live by myself.

[fizzgig]

6. tell me where i said he had to hide

it's just a matter of me adjusting to a new situation

i never said i didn't like it, i just said i had to adjust to it

[OnionPatch]

8. It sounded like you weren't liking it much.

But maybe they'll be fun to have around once you're used to it. :shrug:

[fizzgig]

10. it's great to have some company

but i've been solitary for so long it's just weird

[Quantess]

7. Do you like his/her friends?

No...
Yes....
Maybe, but they are too much...

[fizzgig]

9. we'ver run in the same circle for years

i first met him in high school (i think)

so his friends are no big deal....except one of them

i just hope he doesn't bring her over...i met her nearly 15 years ago and have never been able to stand her

[Quantess]

11. So the problem is, you don't want your place to be the social hub, the party hangout.

You just want some peace and quiet, am I right?

[fizzgig]

12. he's not a party guy at all

it's just getting used to sharing my space

it is good to have company, tho

[Quantess]

13. Do you like his friends?

It is possible that you could say "I don't like your friend "BUDDY" doing such & such when he's here.
And that girl he brings along? Maybe she could wear pants or something next time, or don't come in.

[fizzgig]

14. we talked about her after i started this thread

i was just straight up and said she's the only one i'm not comfortable having in the house and he said he didn't want her here either, so problem averted

so, like i said, no problems otherwise

[Quantess]

15. that's good!

:toast:

16. wait til he sees you in curlers, no make-up and dirty fuzzy slippers.
