You know there's a lack of communication with your roomie when...

[ErikaFuzzbottom]

...you find out that he's moving out, by coming home from lunch and finding all his furniture gone.

Most of the furniture here is his, too. The couch, rocking chair, kitchen table and accompanying chairs, and soon the dishes will be gone. That'll leave me with whatever is in my bedroom and the bathroom, and the bed he used that was originally my great grandmother's.

But, it's not all bad. It means I no longer have to worry about any loud noises when I'm wanting to hear what's going on in my video games, at least. Still, I wish he would've said something earlier.

Are you sure he wasn't kidnapped by some secret government organizaton that has earsed all record of his ever existing?

Hell, I hope that happens to me.

I didn't tell any of my roommates when I ditched the dorms and decided to commute.

It isn't totally compulsory, but certainly courteous to give your rommate early notice of your moving out.

That is fuggin' awesome.

But my roommate this year has a pretty good talking relationship with me so he made sure I know he's leaving for London next semester.

RAWK!!

I had this one roommate who worked nights and slept during the day. I think the entire semester we maybe said five words to each other. Four of them were about the Dark Tower series.

Nah, he came around later on to grab his clothes and a few other things. I just wish he hadn't broken the thermostat the night before.

My roommate this year is seriously an 85%-accurate carbon copy of Mora. It creeps me out!


My roommate from last year spent every last spare minute he had playing online games with his headphones on. I think the fall semester we probably exchanged less than a hundred words, including two five-sentence conversations, and the spring semester we exchanged ten words over zero conversations.

He became like a phantasmagoric smudge on a camera lense that you're always seeing but have gradually learned to forget actually exists. I was that strange goblin that floated about that peripheral space outside his video game world.

Here's a picture of him not noticing that I'm taking his picture because he's playing PS2. ;D

Re: You know there's a lack of communication with your roomie when...

he does look like mora. not exactly, but I see the similarity. well, not current mora, but like, 2 years ago, definately.

Re: You know there's a lack of communication with your roomie when...

Nah, the roommate in the picture is the one from last year. He was only like 20% Mora.

This year's roommate is the one that's like Mora, and I meant it more in terms of personality, interests and socioeconomic traits, though I suspect he does look like Mora to a certain degree, since he looks like Gendo Ikari.

All I know about my roommate is what I overhear in his phone conversations. I THINK he's trying to transfer to Temple University.

I'm rootin' for him!

Re: You know there's a lack of communication with your roomie when...

I want to see a picture of Mora.

Ryu, that roomate of yours looks 13 years old.

I've always wondered how a roomate would take to me if I ever lived in a dorm.

Re: You know there's a lack of communication with your roomie when...

How would you take to a roommate if you ever lived in a dorm?

Yes, that roommate had the arms of a 13 year old and no facial hair. At least once a week I'd return to the dorm and not know if he was in the room, because he was so small that he filled the same amount of volume beneath his bed-covers as the natural loft of covers strewn across an empty bed.
