inkdick: january 09 2009 live in a cave
Three days of piled up dishes with bugs crawling all over them is enough to make anyone go mad, I think, especially when it’s a recurring problem. Oh, life living with roommates.
I often want to just live alone, but I would get too lonely in the long run and get cabin fever (aka last summer). But when you are alone you set the rules and the only person that can piss you off is yourself. Add people into the equation and they do things you don’t think are cool, and in turn you are probably doing things that they don’t think are cool and don’t even know it! For every dirty dish or other thing that bugs me in this house due to a roommate, I am sure there is something I do to bug the other people living here myself. I’m not better than anyone else, I’m guilty of it too! But hey, you put up with all of it for cheaper rent and the company.
I should make a note that I really do actually like the people I live with, we are all good friends. It’s not like I actually HATE them for doing things that bug me or anything. I just get a little frustrated sometimes, but hey, it’s only human to get frustrated and make a journal comic about said frustration on occasion.

I don’t live with roommates anymore, my only rule for roommates is I won’t share a living space with you unless I’m having sex with you. So far it goes well.

Well, I am having sex with one of the people I live with but not the other two, so I guess I am half following your rule?

So if you lived in a cave, you’d have sex with the bear?

My “roommates” are my family who sometimes drive me up the wall, too. But, when each one goes away, a little bit of my heart goes with them. Trust me, it is better to have someone around to drive you up the wall than be by yourself. I miss the days when it was 4 in the house. But, life goes on . . .

Three days? What a lightweight.

Wash the dishes! Jeez!

We had a checklist in front of the sink. Every time someone did the dishes, they’d sign their name to know exactly who’s been doing the dishes. It sounds like something from elementary school, but it worked (most of the time).

I believe a member of your family mentioned you on CNN and I’ve just started giving you some press where I can online. I like the site and the blog/comic. Keep it up.

In the house we came up with the rule of “You use a dish, you wash it right away.” I wasn’t behind this idea, but everyone else was, so I ill stick to this rule and thus I refuse to wash anyone’s dish.
