Roomates

for those of you who dont know, i live with some real winners. in the 4 months i've lived with the present guys i've literally said maybe 25 words to all of them combined. and that is no exaggeration (as i'm prone to do). mine is the only downstairs room and we have a back door to our parking lot. so unless we happen to pass each other in the hall or coming or going we never see each other. not that i mind, and i'll tell you why. they're EMO. for those of you who arent familiar with the term or who it describes, this comes straight from wikipedia:

Today emo is commonly tied to both music and fashion as well as an inspiration toward the emo subculture, and the term "emo" is sometimes stereotyped with tight jeans on males and females alike, long fringe (bangs) brushed to one side of the face or over one or both eyes, dyed black, straight hair, tight t-shirts (usually short-sleeved and/or v-neck) which often bear the names of emo bands (or other designer shirts), studded belts, belt buckles, canvas sneakers or skate shoes or other black shoes and in some cases thick, black horn-rimmed glasses.

thats pretty dang close to the guys i live with. the only thing i would add to that list are scarves. yep, its 102 degrees outside but they'll still wear the tight jeans and little scarf to accentuate their outfit. some of them even have the little fag-tag ponytail on the back of their head. others sport a nasty mexi-stache. still others feel inclined to own (and wear) little pink shirts. anyways, thats just a little taste of who i have to share part of my college experience with. a bit ago i came home to find the following note in our kitchen right above the sink:

wash your dishes a**holes. leaving them in the sink is acceptable never. it takes 30 seconds. dont be lazy, it makes the kitchen smell like a**

mind you, the censoring was done by me. and these are the same people who have no problem leaving their shoes, scarves, shirts, socks, glasses and whatever else laying around the house. live like slobs but apparently dirty dishes are where they draw the line. too bad they still never clean their freakin dishes!
