Meet and Greet

[beckhunter116]

Ummm...they school doesn't have a list or anything like that. At least as far as I can tell. Yes, it's right near Disney LOL Yes, I will prolly be going there a lot if I can afford it. And I plan to go into Psychology. For the lease...I can't break it once I sign. I can find someone to fill my lease and then pay a fee to change the name on the lease but they won't find someone or anything like that. It's all on me. I can always do just me and my friend eric, but we'd rather not pay 80 dollars more a month for that. Plus, I've gotta find someone who will be fine living with us because we are both gay.

Aww..Psychology that's what my degree is in. If you have any questions or anything feel free to pm me. Well every school has boards that you can post things on like books for sale, flyers, and usually you can post rent stuff there, you would just have to go on campus early to do that. My other thought was does the school have a gay group on campus? If so usually there is an email address to ask questions/get info maybe you could email that and see if they wanted to send out an ad to all the members of the group, they may or may not be helpful, but it can't hurt to try. There are websites for roommates, just google it, but I don't know how well run those sites are and if they cost money. Again craigslist is a good idea too.

I don't want to sound like a nag, but make sure you and Eric have clear expectations of each other. I can't tell you how many friendships I have seen destroyed by a roommate situation gone bad and add that to your first year of college and it can be just depressing.

Yeah, I agree with Beck. You'll find things can get complicated fast. You two have never lived together before. You can find one of you is messy while the other is neat. You gotta divide the chores.

Who takes out the trash?
This half of the sink is mine to but my dishes in.
Please ask me before you use my stuff or take any of my food. (You can relax more when you get to be better roommates)
Who vacuums?
Who cleans the bathroom?
What temperature do you like? Is the power bill included in the rent? Etc etc etc

[vnud29]

I might have to take you up on that offer one day I'm sure I'll need the help lol

Well, the thing is that I am a senior in high school and I'll be going there as a freshman in the fall. So, I don't know of a board like that exists.I'm sure it does. But I have no way of getting to it and I don't know anyone currently going there. I know that things may not work out with me and eric as far as living together but I've got to try. It's better than being matched up with a complete stranger. And, we will have our own leases so we won't be dividing anything really. Only if we go over on electricity and stuff. So that will save some arguments.lol

The only thing we would be sharing is the living area and the kitchen. We both would have our own bathrooms so we don't have to worry about that.
I glanced on craigslist but didn't find anything. I found one guy, but I need to run him by eric to see if he would be an ok person to get to know.
I don't think it will work out though. *sigh* Life just sucks man.

[celticmusicrocks]

ok, that's it. I'm going to eat out the rest of my life or stick to baking. The one item I baked turned out fine, the other item that I made on the stove top tasted horrible. *headesk* argh! And I don't say this lightly either. I seriously cannot cook on a stovetop. I burn grilled cheese sandwiches! *grumble grumble*

There's something wrong with you GinsWig. Just saying. Stovetop cooking is...well...pretty simple.

Oh, but I so disagree! There's a many things going on at once when you're stovetop cooking and you have to keep track of them. While with baking, you can go at your own pace and not worry about anything burning if you have to dig around to find a spice.

Today in class we watched Viva La Vulva. As much I do enjoy the vulva, watching that movie made me kinda uncomfortable. Not the vulvas themselves but the fact the women were so comforting getting naked and spreading their labias with 15 other women present. And they crowded around to see. Oh yes, she has a gothic vulva with the arches. Oh look, she has a drapery type labia. Oh you would look good with trimmed pubic hair, let me trim that for ya....

Aaaah, yeah. Very awkward!

The key to great grilled cheese is low and slow. Use a low heat setting for a longish time, that way you don't burn the bread and the cheese has time to get all oowie gooie yumminess. I love to cook, but I don't love to bake. I can do the basics, but cooking is so much more my thing. I eyeball everything, never really use a recipe, just taste, adjust, and move on.

Hey Beck, could you fedex me some of that? Either that or I'll move close by and I'll trade you bakery items for cooked food. LOL. j/k. *sigh*

Just remember to communicate with each other about issues before they get bad. That's how my best friend and I survived rooming together for 4 years.

[vnud29]

I'll take that advice to heart. I'd hate for our friendship to end over living together. Thanks Amber

Erm. No thanks.
Quite a few years ago a friend of mine was dating a gynaecologist. I was staying over at her house one Friday evening, and she was drawing the curtains... and suddenly she just turns to me and says "You know, Anne says I have the loveliest pussy, because the labia is all tucked in."

Right. I knew she wasn't shy at all, and I'm no shrinking violet myself, but that was the non-sequitur from hell. What do you say to that? I wouldn't know? Good for you? Well, that's weird because mine's all blah blah blah?

Anyway. How is everybody?

[catseye]

WOW - LOL!!!!!!!!!!!! I just know that I have missed all your comments and stories! It's like everyone just went away Please come come back and tell some more stories. I miss you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kugai]

Life is what happens when you're trying to enjoy it.

[silverwriter01]

Hmm, how would one go about finding the loveliest pussy in the world I wonder Speaking of pussy, my dog chased a cat up the tree in our yard and it wouldn't come down on its own. So I had to go there and scare it down. Took a large stick and beat on the branch it was on. It came flying down and zooming across the yard before I could blink.

Anyway. How is everybody?

Well I'm pretty good. Pretty busy though with classes and such. People tell me that since I'm so busy, that means I have a life. On long days, I start wishing I didn't. So how be you and yours?

Also, Karen, you're not famous because of your adventures like locking yourself out of the house or fall in the tub (though that is worthy of fame), you're famous because you're a known author in our little world. Heck when I started posting on the forum, I hadn't read your work yet but I still knew your pen-name.

[celticmusicrocks]

Meh. Some shit hit the fan and I'm dealing with the downpour.

[k_alexander]

Hey catseye! Nice to see you again too. Must say, the forum is very quiet lately. I've had an electric start to the year - much too much happening and much too little brainpower to process it.

Let's see - a story to make you smile... I'll tell you about when I broke my nose, because it's possibly the silliest story ever:

So in high school I went to this house party that a friend of mine was throwing. A very cool guy, he'd moved all of his furniture out of his room and papered the walls black to make a great dancing space, and all of the socialising was taking place outside next to the pool. This was also the first night I ever smoked pot. Co-incidence? Not so much, I suspect. Anyway, we were passing around a joint and it was going straight to my head, so I got up and decided to go dancing to shake off the feeling. I was on my way up the stairs towards the (immensely dark) room, and my party-throwing friend was on his way down. He was over six feet tall, so he'd bent a litle to get through the sliding door, just as I looked up and saw him. And then he headbutted me and I fell right back down the stairs. Well, I was lying there clutching my face in agony and refusing to let anyone look, and true to "denial-is-the-best-medicine" teenager form, all of my friends were telling me it was definitely not broken, and I'd be fine, and it was all good. I was not convinced. Then my best friend's brother, who'd broken his nose a few times before, asked to take a look. I trusted him, so I took my hands away... at which he firmly grabbed it, yanked it back into place and smugly said "It's broken, but at least now it's straight."

After I'd stopped swearing and trying to hit him, they all carted me off to the living room where another girl was lying on the carpet watching Alien. There I was, on my back on the carpet, an ice pack pressed to my aching face, watching aliens bursting out of people's chests with a rising level of pot-induced paranoia, and to make it worse, the girl next to me had some psychological problems (she'd been taken out of school for a year due to schizophrenia), so I was neurotic as all hell.
Next thing I knew she turned to me, rubbing her hand over my arm, and said "You know what you need? You need to come over to my house so I can take care of you. Oh, and some heroin for the pain."

I was out of there like a shot, broken nose or no.

Hmm, how would one go about finding the loveliest pussy in the world I wonder

I wouldn't apply for that job. I know what happens when a hobby turns into a full-time job. Anyway, I had to keep stopping myself from crooning "who's a pretty pussy?" every time I saw that friend afterwards.

Speaking of pussy, my dog chased a cat up the tree in our yard and it wouldn't come down on its own. So I had to go there and scare it down. Took a large stick and beat on the branch it was on. It came flying down and zooming across the yard before I could blink.

Glad it didn't fall on you. Death by pussy wouldn't have looked nice on a tombstone.

Well I'm pretty good. Pretty busy though with classes and such. People tell me that since I'm so busy, that means I have a life. On long days, I start wishing I didn't. So how be you and yours?

Busy busy busy, but definitely not on account of having a life. The puppies are bigger and bolder and less well-behaved - apparently the breed (basset) is generally difficult to train. Did I say apparently? We're still working on them, but all of our neighbours now sit on command. The cats are sulking, as cats are wont to do. General schedule consists of dogs breakfast cats work lunch work home dogs dinner dogs cats friends exhaustion insomnia snooze and then all of it all over again.
The glamour of a domestic life. Someone give me a sceptre and a crown.

Also, Karen, you're not famous because of your adventures like locking yourself out of the house or fall in the tub (though that is worthy of fame), you're famous because you're a known author in our little world. Heck when I started posting on the forum, I hadn't read your work yet but I still knew your pen-name.

You make me blush. Seriously. I'm bashful.
However, on this note, I'm snealily going to let you in on something:

[k_alexander]

Ps.

Meh. Some shit hit the fan and I'm dealing with the downpour.

I'm pretty good at listening, and I don't know you, so I won't judge or tell. If you want to chat or just bend my ear, PM me.

[catseye]

Hey - I am so glad that some of you woke up - LOL
Karen - nice story on the broken nose - I think??? Sounds like a long time ago. I know I borke my nose once and it wasn't pretty - I ws pretty young and a GIRL SCOUT at the time TRUE
April - nice to know you got the cat down - I love cats - lmfao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are all good people!!!!!

[beckhunter116]

So WTF with the weather. Last weekend there was snow, this weekend I am wearing shorts. Hope everyone has a good weekend.

[silverwriter01]

OMG YES! I said the exact same thing yesterday. It was 4:30pm and I was like, "This time last week it was snowing and now I'm wearing a short-sleeved shirt."

You make me blush. Seriously. I'm bashful.
However, on this note, I'm sneakily going to let you in on something:
http://www.pdpublishing.com/deusexmachinaendpage.html

Wow, that's awesome Karen. I'm pleased as punch for you
Also, you know you have a bit too many stories of something bad happening to you. Broken nose, locked out of the house, falling in the tub...there's only so much abuse one body can take.

So today I walked in my college's Homecoming Parade. Had a bag of candy to give to kiddies (which so did everybody else really. Candy littered the streets). Now I'm off to do my math homework and then math research for my math capstone. Do you see that math tends to make my world go round?

[vnud29]

Hello everyone!!!!
Life needs to stop getting in my way lol How is everyone doing? Good to see my thread is still somewhat alive!

Oh I have an update on video projects! My friends and I filmed the final fight scene from Hamlet last sunday. Check it out if ya want! I think the last vid was better but lol I'm not complaining.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dABELREs0A

It's not due till sometime next week so I don't know how good a grade we'll get but...I'm hopeful!

I'll catch you all later!

[silverwriter01]

LOL, Yuri, you got your butch on! That's my twin.
Its not a bad video. I like it just as much as the last one I think. At least you talk in it

Hmm, now for another youtube video yall should watch. It's a video my university did for Relay for Life. If you know what I look like and have a good eye, you might see me a few times. I'm in the background once or twice.

Aw cute! Well, not the broken nose, perhaps. Whatever you did it in aid of, they'd better have given you that badge!

So WTF with the weather. Last weekend there was snow, this weekend I am wearing shorts. Hope everyone has a good weekend.

It's going into autumn here - absolutely beautiful. Small rainstorms, pastel-blue skies, just that slight bite in the air. Yes, I love autumn. Also, it makes me want to write (and then I stick my hand in my bag, only to realise that my flash drive is at home.)

Wow, that's awesome Karen. I'm pleased as punch for you

Thank you - I'm rather pleased myself. It seems surreal, which I hope will stop once I'm holding a copy.

Also, you know you have a bit too many stories of something bad happening to you. Broken nose, locked out of the house, falling in the tub...there's only so much abuse one body can take.

Or so you'd think, but you'd be wrong. Sadly, I'm terribly accident prone. It runs in the family, too. My mom broke her little toe three weeks ago - she walked into her coffee table We're like... who was always falling down things and being a general klutz on some popular series on TV ... Oh yeah. Timmy. Lassie's owner.
I wonder if my cat would save me from a well? Nope. He'd think I deserved to be there for being stupid enough to fall in.

Now I'm off to do my math homework and then math research for my math capstone. Do you see that math tends to make my world go round?

So how many years of study do you still have left, and what direction will you be going in when you're finished?

[silverwriter01]

Well that's why you got the puppies. They should love you enough to try and save ya.

I have (if the fates go my why) this semester and then taking some classes in summer to finish up my Bachelors. Then I'll be going for a Masters (doesn't really matter what the title is as long as the degree starts with a M) with 18hours of upper level math. This will allow me to teach at college level which is what I'm planning.

Just finished my Human Sexuality final. We had to label some parts on the female and male genitalia. I, of course, got all the female parts right but didn't know about some of the males...Must be a reason for that.

[vnud29]

LOL well, I'd be disturbed if you couldn't name the FEMALE parts. That's kinda important
pshhh...so what if you dont know all the male parts..you've got all you need to know covered lol

Thanks, I so totally tried to put some extra butch spice into the vid. I dunno if it worked or not LOL
I did you proud twin!

How has life been treating you?
