I love my roommate. She's the best roommmate ever. She's nice and funny and sweet. Her wonderfulness is wonderfully illustrated by something that happened last night

She went to a rock concert. As soon as she got there, she noticed there was a lot of smoke, so she called me and asked me to get a trash bag, some shampoo and fresh clothes and put them by the door so that when she came home, she wouldn't even have to come in the room smelling of smoke, and could just go shower and change and tie up her smoky clothing in a bag so that I wouldn't have to deal with the smell at all.

She has never been to a smoky place before, so the smoke on the clothes is an entirely new thing for her-and she thought of all this without me saying a WORD, as soon as she realized it was a smoky place. Now that, my friends is a good roommate. And she's a great storyteller

Nope. Mine's better. That is very considerate, though, and should be lauded.

You're both right, your roomates are better than mine. Good job. [Grumble]

I dunno. I think my roomate is cooler. The other day he was walking down some square or something in Vermont, and a Wino started talking to him, asking for some made up word.

"I don't have one of those." he said.

The wino then proceeded to ask for another made up item.

"I dont have that either."

"Well then how about a smile." The wino said.

So my friend smiled for the wino.

Now, you see, the Wino had this little makeshift drum, and my roomate was carrying his trumpet. They decided to jam. First my friend played his trumpet with the wino giving a beat, then they both played the Wino's drum.

Afterwards, the wino reached into this bag of stuff he had, and gave my roomate an old pocket knife.

That's one cool roomate, i must say, as well as a cool wino.

CM, your roommate does drugs? j/k [Wink]

Posted by Toretha (Member # 2233) on :

a cool person, granted, but that doesn't show how that person is a great roommate [Razz]

Posted by kwsni (Member # 1831) on :

Tstorm, if you propogate the j/k [Wink]

meme, I may have to kill you.

And yes, your roommate is better than mine. Mine won't even turn off the tv when I ask.

Edit: wrong smilie!

Yes, your roommate is sweet, but mine are furrier, and they purr, and they have cuter whiskers! [Smile]

Posted by Toretha (Member # 2233) on :

yours also hide a lot. And block the computer screen, and make you pay for feeding them and all that. and my roommate purrs too!

Posted by Tstorm (Member # 1871) on :

kwnsi, this is Hatrack: All your memes are belong to us (R). [Razz]

Posted by ak (Member # 90) on :

They do all have that flaw of being opaque. Is yours transparent? I would love to breed a transparent roommate.

Posted by Toretha (Member # 2233) on :

No, she's opaque-but she doesn't get between me and my computer screen while I'm using it. AND she edits papers really well!

Posted by ak (Member # 90) on :

You've probably just been wise enough not to leave a space big enough on the table in front of your monitor for her to stand and sit and lick herself, then. Otherwise whenever she needed your attention she would know exactly where to go. [Smile]

Posted by Toretha (Member # 2233) on :

She generally avoids standing and licking herself in general...

Posted by ak (Member # 90) on :

Maybe when you're watching....

Posted by Rakeesh (Member # 2001) on :

You know, I'dve expected this sort of turn from other Jatraqueros, but not Toretha and Anne Kate!

<--scandalized

Posted by Toretha (Member # 2233) on :

but anne kate, I really don't think her tongue could reach much of her to lick...

Posted by Suneun (Member # 3247) on :

Aha, the question is.. Can she lick her elbow?

Posted by ak (Member # 90) on :

Well, that's easy. The parts she can't reach, she can always lick her front paw and rub that across them.

Posted by Lupus (Member # 6516) on :

Sadly, I think my roommate would have come into my room proud that he was makeing it smell bad.

Posted by MaydayDesiax (Member # 5012) on :

Knowing Toretha's roommate, I can indeed say that she is a cool person and that she is indeed a great storyteller.

She is cooler than my roommate.
