Mart is right. if you are organized and very clean and your roommate is not, it can place a lot of stress and possibly end a friendship. i am the guy that would eat and then wash his dishes after he was done. my roommmate would always "get to it later" and would not wash until there were no plates, utensils left (something i found out when i came back from vacation) and i ended up doing it myself. best thing to do is make a list of rules for the house and everyone has to agree to it before hand. things like having guests over, parties, etc... those all become major issues under the right/wrong circumstances. you wake up in the morning, expect to only see your roommates and there is someones "guest" standing in your kitchen drinking juice our of the container and scares the $*#& out of you. something to think about.

I like that idea...having a list of rules is perfect. I kind of already have an idea of who I would like to have as my room mates but we are all still kind of discussing it.

My sister and niece live wih us after her divorce to mr. *** hole. we have the room and sis and i get along great and they are there to watch the house while we are gone so it works out great and my niece is a clean freek!!! she even gave Jeromy the works for walking on the floor with his boots on. she is 5ft 3 and he is 6ft2 and he backed up from her, it was funny. but he takes his boots off now! lol

its great if you are all students because you have the similar schedules... its bad if you all have different lifestyles. if you have one person that is the party animal and has people everyday and you have another one that studies all the time... well, all heck breaks loose. that is why you have to establish the rules you want so that you don't have problems later on. sometimes friendships are lost this way... when i simple and honest conversation could have prevented everything. also, if something bugs you... deal with it RIGHT THEN AND THERE. because if you say nothing, they will think that you don't care or approve and then later will wonder why you are getting upset.

Well done on the geology lab. I am really pleased for you that what with all the balls you're juggling you have been so diligent about school--fat lot of good all this would be, if in the end you didn't wind up where you want to be, huh? I am sure you will do very well with all your classes, Ms D--you really seem to be one who thrives on challenges!

Its funny, but I come from the gen of slam dances, mosh pits & raves, but the thing I remember best was from the 1st Dead concert I went to at Shoreline in Mountain View CA back in the late 80s and, along with the expected hippie coloured VW buses that should have been relegated to scrap yards, there was this gold Mercedes with a flashy gold Steal Your Face logo in the window. Always seemed incongruous to me at a hippie freak-fest, but takes all sorts. Sorry you missed out of the rave, though, but I imagine you'll have other chances ('course you could always come up this way and pay a visit to Burning Man the end of Aug/beginning of Sept, although school might be back in session by then ...).

With the roommates situation, all the best things that could been said have been said, so just go in with eyes open, check references, and make sure everyone knows the rules of the house. The last things you need are A. to get evicted and B. to wind up on The People's Court.

So, cheers for now, Ms D, and best with everything!

good on the geology lab.

i will reiterate....be sure with roomates, screen well and have good guidelines. i have had both good and bad roomates... good will be less stress by far.

It's good to hear you're well. I was starting to worry ...

It's probably a good idea to let people send their mail to Rob's house, even though he might be allways out on the run, shooting for FTV.

Thanks for the offer to send back autographed photos. I may come up to that offer. I'll try to get one personally, though, to spare you the expenses.

Too bad they removed your profile from Facebook - for them. It's their loss.
If MySpace decided to delete your page there, I'd be gone the same instant. You're the reason I signed up there, anyway.

I don't think I could make it to LA in time. I have to get my expired passport renewed, which takes 4 to 6 weeks, I think ...
