FYI

So last night, wandering around Targeeet, I had a thought. I love to make lists. And I was thinking in my brain of the many roommates I have had. I decided to make a list. Then, I decided to post it on here, knowing that some of you have been my roomies, some of you have heard about them, and some of you could care less. I am in no way forcing you to read this, I just found it interesting.

I have had an enormous amount of Roomies. Most of them got married, otherwise I would still be willing to live with them, others were not such great experiences. Some had some pretty severe issues. I promise not to reveal anything too personal, but I will throw in a fact or two that I remember. Keep in mind, not including my sisters, I have lived with roomies since 1993. So here's to 15 years of my life.

And Tiffany, who lived with us for a while too.

And Currently, Mindy. Who I found on Craigs list. But it's ok, she's not psycho or anything.

So there you have it. Does anyone need any roommate advice? Because I have an Honorary PHD in how to live with girls. Go ahead and laugh, but you have no idea how much these people and this experience has impacted my life.
