HOT HOT TOPICS
– have you ever been in a codependent (but platonic) relationship with a roommate? my moment of realization hit when explaining to people who didn’t know my roommate nor my living situation that I had to go watch my roommate’s kid so she could go to work. ya know, so we could both afford rent/other expenses. figuring out that not everyone did this for their single-parent roommate was eye opening.
– is there a minimum amount of time to find out a housemate isn’t a good fit? is it better to give it a go or just give it the ol’ “yeah, nah….” at the first sign of bad juju?
– do the hottest topics come during hot or cold showers?
– what is a lesson you learned the hard way?
– what’s the longest its taken you recognize n actor in a role? voice only doesn’t count. or does it?
– childhood commercial that dates you. i.e. only 80s kids will remember…
– what is the most memorable date you have had? dinner and legos with the girlfriend is certainly up there for me.

– I had a roommate in college who kept saying he was going to have sex with someone in my bed. should I have washed my bedsheets every night to be safe?
– I got really sick once and the woman who was my roommate at the time cleaned me up, helped me change, cleaned up the mess, and even called my employer to let them know I wouldn’t be working the next day. she went above and beyond what is expected of a roommate.
