[Laneco]

Had quite a round of roommates (all female) when I was in college. What a pain in the ass. The worst ones were the ones you thought you knew or were friends. Wound up kicking every one of them out.

Then I would advertise for a roommate and take a random stranger who kept her car clean, had a job and was a student. Great choices, both of them. I'd have twenty people answer the ad, but was lucky to find one person each time that met that criteria.

Then I got my own place and lived with no furniture except a bed for about four years. Loved it. Better to live like a pauper in peace than have extra money but live in a zoo.
