Hey all, I know I haven't been around in a while. Yet again, I feel awful. I wish college weren't such a time commitment. It would be fun without classes!

Anyway, I'm having a miserable dilemma and I really just needed a place to vent. Hello, LJ!

It's an awesome opportunity, and I hope you take it. It sucks that your friend can't be happy for you and be open to the possibility that the new roommate won't suck. Hopefully she'll get over it soon.

I guess I don't understand why people watch a show only to complain about it.

That's one of the greatest mysteries of TV fandom.

I was really excited when I found out that I'd even gotten a position because it's very competitive, but she definitely put a damper on it. I hope she'll get over it eventually because I don't want to sit in that room all alone!

I might spend a lifetime trying to figure that out.

Hi, I was just wondering how you're doing. Your friend is probably more disappionted than mad at you. I really think she'll get over it. It's not that you don't want to live with her.

Hey! It's been far too long. I'm so sick of classes! I'm taking 20 hours this semester and it's eating my life.

I hope she's not angry. I would love to live with her, but unfortunately, I really think I need to take this offer.

I'm sorry she's doing that to you - I'm no good at all with confrontation and also have never been in quite that position (for fairly obvious reasons, I suppose), but I hope it works out. That is a fantastic opportunity for you; congratulations!

I guess I don't understand why people watch a show only to complain about it.Agreed...although I guess I sort of do understand, having done it myself. What you mean, though - I'm assuming - I absolutely agree. And I also agree with your GG and VM commentary - I'm liking GG better as it goes on also, though I will never like it the way I did before s6 or before s4, and I am actually quite liking VM. It's just different. I know that the long arcs are more fun most of the time, but even in a life like Veronica's...she's not going to have one single crisis every school year; this makes sense to me

Thanks! I think she'll eventually get over it, but I just hope she doesn't get too much angrier before she does. It's getting awkward

Everyone hates Buffy. I can't think of a single person who actually watched the show for her.

Hee! Good to know.

Take the RA position, your friend is just afraid it will probably hurt your friendship. You need to remind her that you tell her their was a 50/50 chance you would want to live with her. You are better off living by yourself having your own room. Ever since my rooming faiscos, I'm hesitant to live with friends. She might get pissed at you in the beginning but she'll get over it. If she's a true and decent/good friend - she'll understand this is an awesome opporunitiy for you and the extra money is awesome. She shouldn't be worried about the new roommate, because it can be 3 against 1 in the new girl and there is no guarnette they'll place someone with them.

I'm going to take it, but it bothers me that I'm taking it with so many reservations.

I'm living with three friends this year. Two of them are total slobs and just all around grody, so I've lost a lot of respect for them, especially because they spend ALL their time with their boyfriends and seem to forget that there are classes to go to and tests to take and such. But I digress; I've had very good luck living with my other friend and we work well together, but this is where it's getting sticky. You're right - living with friends is tricky business.

I told her that if they all hate the new roommate, she will be in a majority and they do have some recourse. But she refuses to think positively. ARGH!
