Interesting idea tds...

I dunno about rooming with them, but I think it'd be interesting to get to know Essy and Bob. They both contribute significantly to the forum, in a good way, unlike some other people.

You can live across the hall from me.  The rules change once you step over the doorway.  I need my space and my 'me' time.  :p

I think someone did this topic before.  Tash... Something about everyone living in a big house together.

I have never "room-mated" with anyone, even as a student, so I guess that I'm somewhat unqualified to answer this question; I'm flattered that anyone might want to mention my name in such a context, although I'd be wise to bear in mind the need to take due care about little white doves by ensuring that my two cats are not allowed to share the space, for little white doves would have but little short lives with them around!...

I think I´d get along with Bob, at least I admire him. Essyne is easy to talk to and Tds seems carefree and outgoing. Any of those. Maybe Lucylucy, she has a good heart.

Yes, I admire myself everyday.  I think I could handle having people live nextdoor.  Maybe have a common area.  But I need my space. 

(Bob thinks about handing out next-door roommate application forms.)  There would be a small processing fee of course.

^ I was actually thinking about that, Bob. I think that some people are probably just good writers/good at getting their ideas out on "paper," so to speak, and that's why I'm attracted to their thoughts. It would be interesting actually attempting to carry out a conversation w/ everyone - to see if  they're different in person and whether or not you just read into their posts/interpret them differently than they intended. There would probably be people you could carry out really good chats/threads w/ online that you couldn't talk to in real life. . . I wonder if that would be awkward or just expected. . . maybe a combination of the two.

Hmmm - it would be an interesting experiment - just throwing us all in one room. . .
