When You Live With Your Sister

I finally grew up and moved out of my parents' house; and now I've been a grown up for 3 months and 12 days. However, I still live with my sister - we bought a place together. But we will never have cats.

Sometimes she listens to books on tape - while doing dishes, cleaning, or whatever. These are not educational books, but romances. I try to be out of ear shot during these times. One she played recently had a high cheese factor, confirmed when the main character said, "Well, screw you... just... screw you."

We see each other quite a lot, resulting in me needing some time away from the house. And we may argue more than we did before we moved out; or maybe she just bosses me around more. Perhaps her words best describe our relationship some days:

"She knows everything about me; I have nothing to say to her."

Well, screw you... just... screw you.

Even with the frustrations, isn't it nice to be in town, closer to work and everything else? (the deleted comment above is a shining example of my retentiveness...I'd make a spelling error and couldn't edit it!)

Ah, roomates.... I totally agree:

Screw you! Just.... screw you!

Sometimes that's all you can say.

At least you don't have a roommate who pooped popsicles out of her/his ass all over the bathroom floor/tub/toilet.

Quite true; thank God I don't.

Wanna' trade roommates? Popsicle pooper for you. I think that's a fair deal. :)
