Anyone have interesting roommates?

We live in Vegas so it's not hard to run across interesting characters-we shop and eat next to showgirls, whores, and more than one Elvis....our roommates are also an eclectic bunch-the guy who owns the house is one of the premier balloon artists in the world-seriously, it's an art form with him-he's taken it way beyond giraffes and such-the two others are both dancers with the Folies Bergere (sadly closing at the Trop after nearly 50 years)-one of them is also an acrobat who's leaving for Prague today to train withe Cirque de Soleil for a show in China-and he was also a model in Playgirl a few years ago...kinda makes our clothing optional cleaning service seem boring...

 

that sounds fun. i find the overtly interesting people to be less intimidating than supposedly normal suburbanites.

 

My roomie is a WoW nerd. However, his brother is living the rockstar life...just without the money and the fame and the concerts. The dude looks like a rockstar (yes, he is definitely my hottest friend, Daniel already knows this, lol), and drinks like a pro. He doesn't hold his alcohol, though...he's the one I was talking about stripping down to his underwear and giving a 45 minute speech about nothing at all and then puking in my hall in another thread. I had to e-mail him to tell him what happened last night, and when I mentioned the no pants thing, he writes back, "Aw man, who took off my pants?" You did, Isaac...you did. Haha. That kid is great when he's sober, too. But add a substance to the mix and whoo... Sometimes I envy his rockstar life.

 

No. I live with my parents.

 

Haha, me too!

I think that's why I dont like this place. Everyone seems so normal.

 

I wish. We have some intersting people in our building though. But not even closes to as fancy as your roommates.

The guys who live above us are cool. One of them, named Dabney is a bisexual stoner who works for the government. I asked him if he was a narc before and now he's always joking with me about how he's going to bust up in here and take me to jail. His girlfriend tried to get into my apartment a few months ago. She was drunk.

The guys that live across the hall are from Russia and Czech Republic. The one from Czech is like 7ft + and use to play basketball for our school and the other one plays soccer (or football for yall non-Americans). But the tall guy has a VW Jetta that has to have special features so he can reach the pedals comfortably.

My bestfriend lives upstairs too. I met her when we moved in. She and her roommate are pretty interesting people. They are a lot like me.

Then there are the baseball players that live beside me. They are very full of themselves and we always see them walking around in their uniforms. I know they don't practice that often. It's kind of like those cheesey shows where the girls wear their cheerleading uniform all the time!

Anyway, I'll quit rambling about my neighbor. But good post, I wish I had a cool roommate that had a crazy talent or something.

 

normal is weird.

 

so, anyway, one of our dancer roommates moved out, and the house owner, apparently frantic to make the rent, gave the room to a section 8 buddy of his he knew from the bars...this guy watches the disney channel 14 hours a day, looks like frankenstein, and does nothing but smoke pot besides...also, he doesnt know what flushing the toilet is...runs around naked (which i have no problem with, oc, except this guy doesnt know how to wipe his ass, so theres shit everywhere...) luckily, we have an offer to live rent free in one of our customers houses after March, and you bet we're gonna take it...

 

what is with all the newbs?

 

I live with my boyfriend and my brother. So yes.

My brother sleep walks and makes food, in his sleep. he doesn't eat it, he just makes it and leaves it on the table. It's usually a pb&j, but it's funny.

 

That rocks.

 

My little brother's the same. Except he'll wrestle crocodiles and zombies in his sleep. He'll sleep walk out into the kitchen and sit and watch TV, drink from the milk carton, open all the cupboards and he'll eat a bag of chips every now and then.

 

okay i am engaged to a d and d and gammer nerd who i love , a jew <girl > known since highschool , and a dude who thinks he is god who is all about killing and is a stoner , me i am a hippy and i am about nature love , some war , religious tolerence , interfaith , the path of the spirit , and good old love , compassion , honor , music

 

my roommate (one of my best buds for 20something years) is 56 (looks 46), has many tales to tell and is one of the funniest people i know. one time, at an elvis concert back in his final days, she got drunk off her ass and was "heckling elvis". they were sitting in the front row off to the side and she ran up to the stage. i asked her what she meant by "heckling" and she said it was really more like sexual harassment...in that whistling-whooping-waving-your- panties-over-your-head kind of way.

 

Well, I lived with a crazy prostitute for awhile.. but despite her profession she was not remotely interesting.
I had 4 great roommates while living in Alberta whom I miss very much.

 

I used to live with a girl who had so many issues I dunno where to begin.. She had a major problem with alcohol and she also cut herself.. with our kitchen knives, and afterwards she'd leave them in the kitchen covered in her blood. Ugh.. She also trashed our house, took off and left us with about £1,500 worth of unpaid rent.

She was hands down the worst housemate I ever had. I've lived with a bunch of really awesome characters.. But I'm still so glad I live with my fiance now and don't have to share houses with random people anymore.

 

Does he ever forget to open the door? There have been a couple times where he's just walked into the door and drop lol
