hope found!

Roomie:  I'm having a skinny day.  So even though I feel like I will end up a toothless homeless unemployed bum, at least I will be a SKINNY, homeless, unemployed bum!

hours later.

Friend:  Silver lining!

This was worse than when the dog ate my ice cream cone

Roomie: I tripped while trying to drink a soda. It spilled all over my suit and all over the stack of documents I was carrying. And Why did I cry? Not because I fell, not because my suit AND shirt were covered in soda, not because the documents I am working on are now stained and crinkly from the soda. No. I cried because I don't have 75 cents to replace my soda.

even the cars mock me

Roomie: I just saw a bumper sticker that says "Got Hope?" and i thought to myself, "hmmm...anxiety, despair, addiction, depression...nope...no hope here!"

I think i'm qualified..

How to sell your self in today's job market

Friend: At least you've gotten hits on your resume. Mine has been up forever. Of course I hadn't listed my bar admission...

Roomie: lol right...I think it will help now that you have that listed. Also, mine is titled "cheap desperate aassociate attorney" which tends to draw in some curious people.

Friend: Ah, mine's under my name. I guess I should change it to "associate attorney who will work for hot man with money."

Roomie: Yes! That will get more hits. Or "Attractive female associate attorney eager to prove herself"

Friend: Or, I could be accurate. "Average looking female in decent shape but could stand to lose 10 or more pounds seeks grown up lawyer job no more retail please."

Roomie: No No No. 1) you are not average. 2) this is like online dating. You are expected to lie. The HR person reading it is a lonely middle aged balding man living in his parents basement. Give him a reason to pick up the phone.

every day is another adventure

Friend: took an experimental route home. No clue where I am.

Roomie: Haha. You are slowly turning into me! I am always lost!

Friend: False, my dear. I've been misplacing myself since long before I knew you.

Roomie: Oh good! I wouldn't want to be a bad influence. Maybe YOU caused my lack of direction!

Friend: Haha or we were naturally drawn to our adventurous spirits.

Roomie: Yes! Adventurous! Anyone can get home with GPS. Not everyone gets to explore random cities on the way home.

Friend: Exactly! I have explored at least 4 cities so far today.

sexy time? no? I die now?

Friend: Also, whenever I am in an elevator alone with a man, I think about how I will defend myself from an attack...

Roomie: Haha. I think "I wonder if we will have sex"

Friend: That is why you die first in a horror movie.

Roomie: Yeah, while you are loosening your shoe so you can use the heel to penetrate his cranium, i'm thinking about getting it on...

Friend: THAT IS TOTALLY THE METHOD I WOULD USE! It's my defense of choice.

Like sand through the hour glass...

Jonathan Rhys Meyers: Complicated. "gays of our lives."

Roomie: Dude. I am trying hard to get my character killed off that soap but I keep getting written back in!

Jonathan Rhys Meyers: And I thought you falling down the elevator shaft would have done it!

Roomie: Seriously. That was just a really tense few episodes while all the gays gathered at badlands to wonder if I would survive!

Jonathan Rhys Meyers: And then to find out you had a twin who opted to do a full brain transplant to save you and sacrifice herself...because she was a criminal on death row for murdering her husband's lover and stealing a baby...

Roomie: Holy Crap! My life is INSANE!!
