I,like most people have experienced my fair share of roommates. And I've
had a few amazing ones, the kind that turn into lifelong Best-friends.
Then again, I've had awful roommates, too.
I had one that dumped trash on my bed when I came home too late for her
liking (long story), and another who decided to stop payment on her
rent check but still wanted to live there (WTF?).
I was so ready to put that part of my life behind me last year when I finally got my own place.
And yes, it's everything I ever hoped it could be: I walk around naked,
leave the dishes unwashed sometimes, and have full control over the DVD.
In short? It's bliss and I have no plans to share a house with anyone
again until I'm in a serious relationship.
But, my friend and former roommate is buying a house and just asked me
to move in with her. On the surface, it sounds great: Fewer expenses, a
great location, and a built-in person to talk to.
The thing is...I'm really not interested in changing my lifestyle in
order to save a few bucks every month. My friend doesn't get it: She's
totally the type that wants 50 people around her at all times and never
gets tired of socializing. She's texted me at least a dozen times this
week to ask me to room with her.
Don't get me wrong, I love going out and socializing, but I equally love having my alone time, too. Maybe I'm turning into that girl, but I just don't want to change.
