Feeling crappy. Damn Roommate. Or his girlfriend, who gave it to him.

You know, living with a guy roommate is so different than living with a woman. Things are totally on a different level. Communication is straight, direct, and to the point. We go about our own lives, yet have nights where we hang out and just watch some TV catching up. Other nights, I may have company, or the other way around, and we just go with the flow. They use the TV, or we are out there playing drinking games in the living room, and the other respects the space, joins in, or goes about his business.

It was a huge relief in the middle of all that chaos that was my life a couple of months ago. Something I knew wasn’t going to push me off the deep end or drive me to want to drink like pretty much everything else did. I came home, my roommate asked how I was, if I wanted to talk, we talked, if not, he didn’t ask any more questions. It’s such a simple interaction. Having things in common is definitely a plus. We’re both geeks. Right now I’m blogging and listening to my music on blast, and He’s in the other room fragging what sounds like evil aliens of some sort… or maybe russian soldiers, can’t really tell the difference over my music. But anyway, when we’re done we may watch an episode of Modern Family, and hit the bed. We may not even make it to those plans. But neither of our feelings will get hurt, nobody will be angry or upset. Just so, simple.

Having that roommate definitely helped me get through the tough times. Knowing I had some space that was not my own, yet could be as barren as I needed, really made me feel comfortable. It’s why now, I can interact much more and everything is natural. Now that the weight of everything is finally lifted and I can raise my head and take a breath of life again, it’s nice to know I’ve got some company when it comes down to living it. My roommate on a day to day basis, just like my family, and my friends, help me enjoy life again. I couldn’t ask for much else right now… and I won’t.
