I've been living in my new abode for almost a month. This month has FLOWN by so quickly. And my new roommates are awesome...but they might be as quirky as me.
Here's the scoop:
They are both engineers. They both say they HATE hanging out with other engineers because they are boring and only talk about work. I only half believe them because a lot of their friends are engineers.
They work out a lot and this is great motivation for me, but it also makes me feel like a chunker occasionally. And by occasionally, I mean almost every night when I slam back a pint of good 'ol Haagen Daz (aka my new boyfriend - Caramel Cone).
My friend Kim was in town a weekend ago and she told them I have a blog. Kim is moving out to the Best Coast and I am SO excited, I am going to forgive her for outing me and my blogging world. Well, that, and the next weekend I got really drunk and showed one of my roomie's my blog and I'm pretty sure he text messaged himself the web address. Whoops. So much for this whole "anonymous" thing...but I am still going to write about them anyway.
Jim - He's about to turn thirty. Poor Jim had a rough year. It involved a divorce, then a whirlwind romance, then a breakup, then a new start. He's given up dating for the next year and I sure admire that. And after all of the bad dates I have been having, I might jump on that bandwagon. Or not. I need some new material. Last weekend, Jim and I got really drunk with his ex from college (not the ex-wife) and it was interesting. I was able to pick his brain about all of this "baggage" and I really enjoy that kind of stuff. Gives me a little break from all of the chattering I tend to do.
Chad - He just turned thirty. He has a 22-year-old girlfriend or something. The first night I moved in, his "friend" came over to hang out and then I heard them banging in the next room. So loudly, in fact, that I went to the bar by myself with no makeup on and got silly drunk. However, this "noise pollution" problem has since been fixed with closed vents and the fact that I found my ipod. He grew up in Uruguay and speaks several languages, which makes him pretty interesting. He's a little bit more arrogant that Jimmy, but he's smart, funny and a little silly. He makes up words like hirarious and thinks they are hysterically funny. Good for him. He thinks he's funnier than I am. :)
Clumsy - I am the mother/little sister dynamic of the group. I feel like they totally would watch out for me. And, I feel like I can do all sorts of fun mothering things like Easter egg hunts and make mac and cheese and stuff.
We're having a party on Sunday and it's sure to be interesting. We will see how it goes...
Overall, it's a pretty good dynamic and we're all pretty nice. I love it. Best place I've ever lived.
Seriously. I am ridiculously blessed.
Did I mention I live on the ocean?

My friends and I also say we don't like to hang out with other engineersklknnz too, but we're pretty much all engineers.
I love it when roomies work out! I happen to be looking for one because The Guy Roomie moved out and it made me sad! Cheers to good roommates!
Engineers are smart. When I was in college I would sometimes walk by the engineering school on my way to basket weaving class and would feel smarter for having done so...
Ha.
The water here is about forty degrees. Sometimes living on the ocean isn't a blessing. ;-)
Congrats! I love my new place too, although its not near the ocean :( But I do have a great roommate, my kitty. Lame I know.
