Roommates

Realization 1: My roommates really love me, and I am so lucky to have them.

I have always been lucky this the roommate situation. Since college I have had 11 roommates. You may be asking youself ...how is that lucky? Well I have had 11 because of different housing situations and life changes etc, but that's besides the point. My current living situation is living with 3 boys. I love living with boys. Although sometimes we don't see eye to eye on certain things our compatability is like "Friends" (which is DVR'd in our house 24/7)
I have been living here for 2 months and have been friends with the boys for a little over a year. There have been many countless instances for this realization however today tops the cake. My roommate (who I have actually known for longer than the others), his girlfriend and I went to Boston for a club night. Coming home at 3am we crashed in our beds and off to dreamland or so I thought.... We have a slight mouse problem and my 10 dollar traps are not working and I hear the mouse in my room almost every night. We live in what you would call a college bachelor pad so it's not super clean per say but it gets a scrub down from the maid service once a month! Anyways I keep my food in my room in a plastic 3 drawer thing and each night I can hear scurrying and out comes the flashlight then the overhead light and the noise stops...sometimes. Mice are cute if they are in the woods or a cage not in the house gross and unsanitary and just creepy. Well this morning (its 4am) I heard it and I saw the mouse in the drawer eating a hole through my brand new chip bag. I promptly left the room and put on the tv in the living room. My roommate who apparently was still up came out and asked what's up. I said I saw the mouse and he proceeded to get sneakers on, grab the swiffer and search my room for the mouse. It was clearly gone after all the commotion and I took the food drawer thing out of my room for good. Thinking mutual friends who party at our house might want to dip into my food is the reason it was in my room in the first place... who knew I had an unwanted party guest dipping into the goods.
So in conclusion my roommate is awesome ....maybe I'll have more stories about the other two.
