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.
