Re: “I Had No Friends”
I actually chose my college roommate. The same one, twice. No dorms. We had taken Home Ec in high school together. I figured we were compatible because of this class. We at least had the same conception of how to negotiate living on ones own; rent, bills, balancing a check book, sewing a pillow, etc. I knew something was up the first time we went grocery shopping he loaded up on microwave tv dinners. What about the stuff we cooked in Home Ec? We got skills, man!
The clincher was the second year when the novelty of him watching sports all day, sitting on the couch, filling up an empty gallon cider jug with his chew spit wore out. "How come we never hang out anymore?" he asked, as I was on my way out with my friends I was drinking coffee, smoking pot and watching movies with.
I guess mass quantities of tobacco isn't for for me either, Lindy.
