Random talk thread: It just keeps happening

[Boogie]

I am familiar with some of the shittiest bachelor's apartments in the Annex, if you like.  My best friend stayed in some of the biggest shitholes around when he was in teacher's college.

On-campus residence not an option?

[Barry Egan]

yea why not start on-campus Arvie?  that way you can meet some people and have some potential roommates you already know are solid for when you move out.

I can't do residence as they have no pets.  That's been the problem. I can find lots of good places just not pet friendly.  Now I have found a bunch of two bedrooms which look decent.  Though I was hoping for about 750/month and all I can find are 850-1200/month. 

Malek do you know what you are doing when you come back?

eeeeyeah, that's a problem.  That price range is do-able for some student housing near campus, but probably nothing that's going to be pet-friendly.

Malek do you know what you are doing when you come back?

I'm going to guess the answer is "not living anywhere near the St. George campus."

[demi]

You'll just have to put the dog down.

....but no pets.

[Madrun Badrun]

Ya I'd rather just bit the bullet and rent a 2room even if I don't have a roommate lined up than leave her at home.

[Joe Molotov]

Dress the dog up like a person and say that it's your roommate. I'm pretty sure that worked on Dunstan Checks In or something.

[Flannel Boy]

Malek do you know what you are doing when you come back?

Near the end of the month.

[Inspector Thatcher]

Unless it's a condo building the "no pets" clause isn't usually enforceable - provided your pet doesn't interfere with the "reasonable enjoyment" of others' units (eg no regular baying at the moon, barking, whizzing in the common areas or excessive whining).

[Madrun Badrun]

She barks occasionally.  Mostly if she sees something out the window.  It's not something I really want to risk though. 

[Madrun Badrun]

I found a 1 bedroom, 2 baths.  Must be a typo. 

[demi]

Are there pics of the place?

[Joe Molotov]

Regular bath + roman orgy bath.

[chronovore]

But I just want to take the first guy that comes, just to be done with it.

DONT do that. Hang out with the cat for a bit to see if they are cray or not. I mean it's never foolproof, some guy can seem sweet then a week later he's a fucko. Just find some cunt that likes videogames so you have some common ground at least and can bond over some Mario Kart or whatever.

Yes, definitely. And you don't have to find someone you like, you just have to find someone who is compatible with your living arrangements and won't bring weird drama and make life miserable.

[Cerveza mas fina]

This is why you let the housemate put down a deposit worth a months rent before moving in.

If they fail to pay you take that and then next month kick them out.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Can't afford a studio but can afford a two bedroom with a dog as a roommate.

Had a federal judge who was appointed by Reagan, and is teaching our class, stop me in the middle of a practice closing argument after I made an analogy to our case with Watergate.

"Now, you shouldn't use controversial topics for analogies in your case.  It's not even 100% agreed upon that Nixon was guilty and Woodward and Bernstein were hardly good people, so you don't want to elevate them.  It'd be like using Bill Clinton in an analogy after all that Monica Lewinsky business, now that would really hurt your case, etc. etc."   

     

[hampster]

I had a roommate once who seemed normal at our initial meet, paid the deposit and first month's rent in full no problem. Had a pay stub, etc...

And then he never paid again. He was a completely disgusting bum that peed in bottles he left for me to clean up. He didn't work and was fired because he never showed up at his job. I finally got him out after a few months. I remember once the internet went out and he started raging and screaming at me that he was an important blogger and needed to update his blog Kind of wish I got the name of it now

Just be careful about picking roommates my bore friends :'(

[Madrun Badrun]

So i found an awesome place.  The potential roommate seemed cool.  Then she sent this "I am having a bad night! Will reply tomorrow".  Run?

[Madrun Badrun]

I want to move into any place where I can have a dog. 

[Phoenix Dark]

What does she look like?

[demi]

No, stay.

I want to see how you deal with her abusive ex-boyfriend banging on your door late at night, who has decided to move in, fuck her all night, eat all your food, and slap your dog around cause he thinks it's funny.

[Madrun Badrun]

How do you know she was dating your dad?

[Flannel Boy]

Can you imagine being a girl, having this good looking guy with a beautiful dog applying to a roommate ad, and then having FM move in?

FM post in two months:

"I wanted to stay in my room and watch anime, but my roommate and her model friends wanted to drink and play strip poker."

In other news I had a forced migration to Windows 8.  What the fuck were they thinking?  On the one hand my installation of windows 7 died and I didn't have a DVD of it, so I switched and windows 8 fixed the everything almost automatically without having to do a new install -mostly.  On the other hand, what the fuck were they thinking?

Arvie is being handed the biggest win of The Bore 2013. Please don't fuck this up bro.

and for the love of god, delete your internet browsing history every day

[Madrun Badrun]

Its got to be the biggest scam ever.  There is no way that is a 850/month place. 

[nudemacusers]

it doesn't say what kind of fashion modeling. could be bbw or fetish

[Madrun Badrun]

yes, fetish models, horrible, with their tattoos and lace,...

[Positive Touch]

about to watch Miike's Audition. movie description already has me creeped.

That's a problem I have with that movie--the cover and any description dulls the twist a bit.  but if you hid the twist, you wouldn't be able to get people to watch it, so...

That said, don't let it stop you, the way it builds up and changes is incredible.   definitely in my GOAT list.

yeah, it's one of those movies that you really need to go into it knowing as little as possible.

i was so lucky to catch it randomly in 2001 on the IFC channel at midnight with zero advance warning.

my trial practice class is over. so boring

4 more credits to go

time to sit around in my underwear and play marvel till 3AM

[Shadow Mod]

It's probably really lame, and I don't feel like making a thread about it but I've always wanted to live in a big house with friends. I think growing up an only child made me super lonely.

[CajoleJuice]

It's probably really lame, and I don't feel like making a thread about it but I've always wanted to live in a big house with friends. I think growing up an only child made me super lonely.

I've dreamt about it too. Also an only child. Let's start one for Boreans. 

[Rufus]

Huh. I just got used to being alone most of the time. Not ideal, but I'm introverted anyway so

[Don Flamenco]

Did that once (over 10 yrs ago, fuck i'm old) and it had its ups and downs, but I do miss it 

the "downs" got pretty nasty though.  break ups in the house.  vegetarians raging when the meat eaters cooked bacon in the house.       hippies..pft

[hampster]

My kid's friend spends way too much time at my house because my single child household is so peaceful and quiet compared to their house

Personally I've never lived alone :'( I went family (with siblings) to dorm to roommates to gf/wife :'( I just want to sit around nude all day eating ice cream alone. Is that so wrong

[T234]

Things with the mature ladyfriend are going very well.

Going over to her place again on Friday with Oreo Klondike bars and a few blunts of World-Class Indoor-Grown Blue Dream. Taking my laptop and we gonna watch some movies on it.

The first time I ever went to her place, I took a couple blunts of some pretty good shit.

The second time I went to her place, over my birthday weekend, I took 5 blunts of the best that I had in my private stash (God Bud x The White, even I put this shit out halfway through) and some fire LSD. She L-O-V-E-D it.


The first time I felt romantic love in my heart, I thought I was dying. That's how foreign the sensation was. Now I realize that I finally feel alive for the first time in years. And it feels fucking amazing.

[demi]

Did she rim your asshole while twerked out on your undercounter product mixture?

[Don Flamenco]

That's awesome, but goddamn, 5 blunts of non-bullshit weed?!  and she hangs?!      

even at my peak tolerance after vaping wax/shatter every other minute for about 3 weeks straight, i couldn't handle that.

[T234]

No sir. We both connected to the cosmos in such a crazy way. Wouldn't have had her first time with LSD go any other way. I have a feeling that the next time will be earth shattering. We are going camping under the beautiful stars for the next voyage.

She is from the old school. I didn't pick up a hoouer. If she woulda fucked me that easy, I'd have wondered. I ended up picking a very classy milf. One who both happens to understand me and is absolutely JAMMIN hot.

That's awesome, but goddamn, 5 blunts of non-bullshit weed?!  and she hangs?!      

even at my peak tolerance after vaping wax/shatter every other minute for about 3 weeks straight, i couldn't handle that.

I've only met four people who can hang with me: this woman, one of my dear friends who is like a brother to me, and two certain glassblowers who shall remain nameless.

[demi]

Are you going to have her rim your butthole while twerked on your undercounter product mixture?

[T234]

She has such a nice posterior that I wouldn't mind having the Undercurrent of the Universe flow through my tongue into her posterior.

And with that, boys I gotta go to work.

[Brehvolution]

Indoor-Grown Blue Dream.

I love this stuff. I love playing call of duty after smoking it. I own on it. Nothing else is the same.

[Don Flamenco]

by mature ladyfriend, you mean in age or personality?



Edit: Malek, do you guys have Motions In Limine in Canada?

[Polari]

The festival I was going to tomorrow got canned. Seems like a rough summer for promoters over here so far.

[Phoenix Dark]

Is she black, T234?

[Mr. Gundam]

It's probably really lame, and I don't feel like making a thread about it but I've always wanted to live in a big house with friends. I think growing up an only child made me super lonely.

I did that my last two years of college. It was fun, but I don't think I'd ever want to do it again.
