The Roomie
Or "This one goes out to all the shiney happy people!"
Right OK. I give in. I need to take a break from that blimin frog game. Thanks Rudette, this will keep moi annoyed until at least I get home. And then some.
Anyway, I learnt some sad news the other day. Well I've known it for a while, but it was brought back to light at the weekend.
When I moved to Leeds I was hoping to meet loads of ace people and make many friends. The housemates were pretty cool. There was the quiet one that was nice and worked in a record store.
The other was an part time actress, and such employement she met loads of people. So we went out alot.
A few weeks ago the actress room mate moved out for a few weeks to do some plays on the road. You know the types, where they go visit schools and talk about stuff, like women's rights and what not...hmmm
Anyway, before she left she mentioned that she might be going to some drama school for a year in September.
She came back last weekend for two days. Just to change clothes, sleep in her own bed. The subject again came up about her and her long term moving out.
Then yesterday on the way to the pub quiz the quiet housemate was asking if I had an preferences to who moves in. Im not that bothered (a girl 
- only joking....).
But I've realised that despite having a great time when I first moved to Leeds, everything quietened down once the fun housemate left. Now in September the fun housemate will be gone for a long time. This will mean I will have no one at all to drag out, or be dragged out by.
I just hope that who ever the new housemate is, that they enjoy the night life a bit. I think Ill put my foot down at anyone over 30. For my own sanity.
In other news, this made moi laugh.
And Senióretta Killjoy, I promise, as soon as Zoolady sorts out those photos Ill have them posted. Blame the hot weather.

moirob / Website (5.7.06 15:37) I knew that I'd get a better response from you if I "whipped" you in public...(i cant believe there isnt whipping smilie) |

|
moirob / Website (5.7.06 15:53) Ahhh, that's better. Yep, I knew something public like that might make you remember.! |
|
sammy / Website (5.7.06 16:02) as for the housemate. Girls are good for walking round in underwear and flirting with, but you might find that another bloke around your age might be more likely to want to go out drinking. question is, which do you want more?!
|
|
moirob / Website (5.7.06 16:16) Hmmm, good question. ::Now do I lie or tell the truth?:: 
It would be nice to have someone else walk around the house in their underwear. I fell all alone when I do it. Plus I think the last bit is a bit of a lie. Girls enjoy drinking as much as boys. Yesssss |
|
Georgia / Website (5.7.06 17:02) Is it just me that finds that dog really scary!? |
|
moirob / Website (5.7.06 17:11) I thought it was very very funny. Although I was a little worried that the dawg might take off the girls head! |
|
AmyCady / Website (5.7.06 19:13) Like i told you before, you should get a personal ad saying "I want friends..please call.." Loads of people'd respond! And another girl housemate? C'mon Roberto..don't think Sammy would like that!
|
|
moirob / Website (5.7.06 19:55) Yeah, only I reply to ad's like them. And it would be stupid if I called myself. I guess your right Amy. Sammy might not like it...(so hopefully she wont find out eeeeeee) |
|
Smartjoks / Website (5.7.06 23:01) Ooh I want that dog joke, could you please please please send it to me it doesn't work when I copy it. |
|
moirob / Website (6.7.06 08:13) You should have an email in your inbox shortly. It is a very amusing joke indeed. |
|
sammy / Website (6.7.06 09:39) another girl just means that i can use her shampoo and things....so it's ok by me! maybe she'll be a good cook too...that would be good!! yesssssssssssss |
|
moirob / Website (6.7.06 09:49) Well thats good to hear Sammy, Yesssss. Although, whats wrong with my cooking. I thought I made a very tasty meal! 
|
|
sammy / Website (6.7.06 09:53) you did....but how good would it be to have someone make us something dead tasy while we watch TV?! yesssssssssssssss 
|
|
moirob / Website (6.7.06 09:56) Well we do get that, whenever your mum cooks. :p lol. Im still waiting for your Thai Green Curry! |
|
sammy / Website (6.7.06 10:22) i don't know what you're talking about 
|
|
moirob / Website (6.7.06 10:28) Yes you do. Despite your mum having great cooking, you did promise to cook me curry! Fact. (and this is one of those few arguments that I will win.) |

Over 30's ROCK / Website (6.7.06 10:38) Hey you.. you know that the game is all about how your braincells work right?.. . Whats this about no over 30's.. what you trying to say that over 30's are boring?.. Maybe that is a bit prejudice!!! I mean how can you judge anyone by there age?. I know people all different ages and i love them all for different reasons. None of them are boring and the over 30 are the ones that really let there hair down. In fact if you put all my frineds in a line up you wouldnt even be able to pick put the over 30's. Age is a number not a lable!!!!!!! Robster.. indeed i take offence. |
|
purple / Website (6.7.06 10:53) Yes indeed, ageism at work! (Speaking as one who IS over 30 of course!) |
|
moirob / Website (6.7.06 11:04) Woah Rudette, Im not saying people over 30 are boring. But my preference, and in my opinion, I feel Id get along, and have more in common with, people my age. Your right Purple, it may be seen as ageist. But as a preference to someone who I want to live with Im intitled to certian limits/boundries. |
|
amillionpieces / Website (6.7.06 11:06) I'm with the sunny one, I know loads of fun over 30's and equally plenty of boring under 30's! You should judge only on what they're like! |
|
Over 30's ROCK / Website (6.7.06 11:12) Woah Robster. Why cant you get on with all ages?.. Just coz someone is older doesnt mean that there going to be different... maybe you would learn a thing or two off of someone that has a bit of life experience... . Thanks pieces.. i am in agreement. I know plenty of under 30's that are boring twats that need to get a life. And look at others rather than just thinking of themselves all the time. |
|
You_Retard (6.7.06 11:20) Maybe you could do an ad that says 'Flatmate Needed - or 'Why doesn't anyone want to live with me?' Eddie the Eagle lookalike with dull blog seeks flatmate. Must be able to tolerate the word 'Moi' and constant gushing about sexually repressed girlfriend. Limited space due to massively overinflated ego.' Also mention that even though you're a scouser there's a lock on the bedroom doors - it wont stop you breaking in but it will slow you down a bit. |
|
moirob / Website (6.7.06 11:30) OK, guys and gals. I think you've taken this all a little too far. The entry was not really down to who we would be interviewing for a new housemate. I mean we havent even advertised yet. The entry was about how I will be finding it difficult to make new friends now that the one housemate I had been relying on will soon be leaving. I mean any over 30's that do apply and get interviewd Im sure Ill give them as much attention and allow them to have the same chance of being the new housemate as any under 30's. But still in my own opinion, Ill find it easier to get along and live with people of my own age. But any over 30's that dont make the grade, Im sure they will be fine, They wont go homeless. |
|
moirob / Website (6.7.06 11:32) Retard, will it be ok if I copy and paste exactly that in to my advert? I think I like the over inflated ego bit the most. Infact I might just advertise. "overly inflated ego seeks someone to massage it" Thanks Retard. Youre the best! |
|
purple / Website (6.7.06 12:01) So, if Demi Moore, Famke Janssen, or some other equally fit 30plus lady wanted to rent a room, you'd rule them out right? :P |
|
moirob / Website (6.7.06 12:13) Well, the chances of either of them needing a room are highly unlikely. :D lol But if I said yes, I bet half of my readers would get offended for moi being sexiest! haha |
|
Georgia / Website (6.7.06 12:15) well.. im 21 but my boyfriend and all of our friends are 30 and i live with two 30 year olds, the thought of 30 year olds being old wouldnt even cross my mind.. 30 isnt old, its still really young.. |
|
purple / Website (6.7.06 12:25) Lol Georgia, keep talking like that and maybe I won't feel as far "over the hill" at 32!
|
|
Georgia / Website (6.7.06 12:29) but thats just stupid. my 30 year old housemates spend their evenings 'surfing' down the stairs on their stomachs and hitting eachother on the head with spatulas. Young and stupid! hehe |
|
30's rock / Website (6.7.06 12:50) Yeah Georgia.. yeah * grabs spatula * |
|
moirob / Website (6.7.06 13:02) OK, kids. I think alot of words are being put in my mouth now. All I said was that living with an over 30 might make me go insane. I retract this statement. I now feel, with all this aggrivation that has been caused. Living with someone over 30, will in fact make me go insane. |
|
sammy / Website (6.7.06 13:10) you could just say that anyone over the age of 30 who wants to apply, should have the mental age of a 20 something that'd sort it |
|
moirob / Website (6.7.06 17:47) Yes, Sammy, Thats a good way round it. |
|
AmyCady / Website (6.7.06 19:19) Oh Robbie..you aren't doing a good job of making friends on here are you?! (maybe that's why you're a big billy no mates  )
|
|
Smartjoks (6.7.06 22:50) Thank you for being a star if they still had sweeties I'd give you one |
|
IanB / Website (7.7.06 00:11) Is this a private ageism fight or can anyone join in? (a I am going grey (b I am older than |
|
moirob / Website (7.7.06 08:06) Well Amy, I guess I'm not. Well pointed out. Thats very sweet Smartie. Thank you. Oh no Ian. Everyone can join in. I'm not trying to be agiest in anyway. I was just saying that I would like to have a 20-something housemate. I made a quip that, anyone over 20 would in fact make moi insane. Alot of people took offence at this joke. Im glad to hear that it hasnt caused you any offence. Although I am sad to hear I can't have you as a house mate lol Espeically after hearing all your good points

|
moirob / Website (7.7.06 12:00) What does that contain? |
|
sammy / Website (7.7.06 12:09) Quisine?! and bitter lemons |
|
moirob / Website (7.7.06 12:53) bitter lemons you say? |
|
sammy / Website (7.7.06 12:59) be a bit weird if it contained bitter oranges - seen as it's called 'bitter lemon' and i bet people who drink it have a 'face like they sucked a lemon' |
|
moirob / Website (7.7.06 13:27) Yeah, that would be weird. Can you get bitter oranges? True, a 'face like they sucked a lemon (beverage)' |
|
sammy / Website (7.7.06 13:29) according to google, this is a bitter orange: 
|
|
moirob / Website (7.7.06 13:36) Well, I was kind hoping for something more like, THIS.... 
|
|
AmyCady / Website (9.7.06 21:16) You're welcome for me pointing that out to you..i like to point out the obvious. Cute ad for Bitter Lemon there Sam. It needs the hype I guess. |
