roommates

Here I am feeling a little lonely on a Monday night. I suffered an awesome two day hangover with a cherry-on-the-sundae of a very sore neck. I'm feeling extra lonely because I haven't had anyone to talk to all day, not even at work. Watching happy couples on House Hunters isn't making me feel much better. But, I was thinking about all the wonderful people I've lived with, and it's making me feel a little less alone. When I talk about many of my friends, I often classify them as "my roommate." I had someone say to me once, "Wait, how many roommates do you have?" The answer was, and is: many. I've had 8 college roommates, and a dozen or so more summer roommates. In each place, the roommates created a family, even if just for a short while, everyone had a home to go to.

The original roommate, my gorgeous sister Brittany

aka BooBoo

aka Middens 

(like mittens, but we're silly.)

College roommates: Kaylas, Alex, and Elizabeth. 

Alex and I were direct roommates for all our HC years.

More college roommates (and NYC pals)

No Ris, I did not forget about you! 

Congrats, Bets, you made it on twice.

Half of them lived next door. Two of the boys were my blood relations.

The third might as well have been.

enjoyed their fair share of whiskey.

 Hey Mikey! He likes it! Summer '10.

And who could forget my sweet Suzie Q? 

Thank goodness she lives in NYC.
