The Roommates Meme

[thelongcon]

Living with other people can be rough; you have to put up with their personality quirks, habits and schedules.You never really know how well you get along until you give it a go.

Possible scenarios: by no means an exhaustive list
•It’s 8 in the morning, and you have somewhere to be like 5 minutes ago. How are they still using the washroom? Hopefully there’s still hot water left.

•There are dishes piled up in the sink. But at least your roommate makes you lunch and does the grocery shopping.

•Have you seen my keys/homework/item of choice?

•If you need to borrow something, ask. Or not, you don't need permission.

•Movie night, introductions to new shows and entertainment, and fights over the remote. What even is on at this time of night?

•Quiet down, some people are trying to sleep! It’s too late/early.

•There’s people over? I didn’t know/forgot/what did I just walk in on?


I don't think this has been done before, but if it has, let me know.

of COURSE not...who questions this logic? certainly not i

[ It was the same with Hal in some aspects...it wasn't difficult for him to settle into things that people would expect their roommates to do. Other than the excessive cleaning and avoiding everyone when he had the chance. He figured everyone knew most of the contents of his rota at this point that they didn't ask about the 310 sit-ups he would routinely do in his room. The push-ups. The biking. Radio 4. The list went on and he was not embarrassed with it. It was his anchor.

Even sitting here watching mindless television was his anchor. He had hardly encouraged Anna's presence when she came to sit next to him until she opened her mouth.

Oh. ] A version of antique roadshow. [ He mumbled it a little, distracted before looking over to her. ] Is there something I could help you with?

ANNA IS THE GREATEST HOUSEMATE EVER

[afallenstar]

No, no. I'm fine. [ Anna settles comfortably into her position on the couch, and for all of five minutes she actually is silent. She doesn't really understand the appeal behind the show, though, and had apparently managed to miss the fact that Hal is interested in watching it.

After a reshuffle of her seated position, bringing her feet up on the couch and pulling her legs up to her chest, and then a soft sigh, she turns to look at Hal again. ] So why is she buying that then? It's obviously a fake.

[ Anna is good at playing normal, yes, but she clearly misses the mark on some of the more subtle of human habits. It's hard to remember all of the details of twenty odd years when she's got several millennia of memories clouding her thoughts. ]
