“I had a dream in which I was in love with my roommate, and now I can’t be around her without being awkward. What should I do?”

-Question submitted by Anonymous

Dannielle Says: 

Listen. This has happened to me multiple times. One time I didn’t talk to my friend for two days bc I was so mad about something she’d done in my dream… More recently, I had a dream my best friend in the world stole my favorite pants and bejeweled the back pockets. I WAS PISSED. I’m not wearing bejeweled pants, you know?? I ignored her for two hours and then finally scream texted her about my pants and we made jokes and it was fine. 

I think you should tell her about your dream and if you scream text her that’s totally okay. It was just a dream, you know? That’s not actually how you feel and as long as you’re okay communicating that to her, you should say something. BECAUSE LIKE, if you scream ‘I HAD A DREAM I WAS IN LOVE WITH YOU AND NOW I FEEL WEIRD’ you’re opening up the door for jokes. Once you can joke about it, you’ll feel a lot better. 

On the other side of this whole thing, if you don’t yell and joke about this you’re going to feel weird forever… so you have no choice. GOOD LUCK NERD. 

Kristin Says:

Yeaaaaaaah, you gotta just tell her. IT’S JUST A DREAM YOU GUYS.  Last night I dreamt that Dannielle and I invented styrofoam… you know?!

My suggestion for a great comedic delivery would be to dramatically hit pause the next time you are watching your favorite roomie show together, keep your eyes focused on the TV and scream, “I DREAMT ABOUT BEING IN LOVE WITH YOU AND I AM REALLY SORRY AHHHHHHHHHHH,” and during the extended “AHHHHHHHH” get up and run around the couch in circles with your arms flailing.

“my roommate is a SLOB. she leaves raisins on the floor and won’t pick them up, her dishes are piling up in the sink, she got so drunk that she threw up in the tub and DIDN’T EVEN CLEAN IT UP THE NEXT DAY, my other roommate finally did it. it’s INSANE. she then complains about how messy the apartment is. but all she does is watch tv all day. help?”

Dannielle Says: 

EW. EW. EW. GET RID OF HER. 

You guys, this is gross and not okay and you have to talk to her or I’ll be so mad at you and I’ll never come over. 

You can do a few things (1) have a family meeting where you and other roommate say ‘hey you can’t keep doing THESE SPECIFIC THINGS (2) Start a chore chart where everyone is responsible for their own areas, and certain people clean certain things SLASH dishes can’t be in the sink for more than a day (3) ask her to move out. 

You have to like where you live and everyone has to deal with messy roommates, but that shit is just unacceptable. If you don’t talk to her a ball of hate will form in your heart and you won’t be able to get rid of it and you’ll hate her forever. Talk to her, talk to her, talk to her. 

Kristin Says:

RAISINS ON THE FLOOR AND PUKE IN THE TUB IS EXACTLY WHAT HELL MUST BE LIKE.

THIS IS HORRIBLE.

Write her this letter:

Dear Roommate,

THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND YOU MUST CLEAN UP AFTER YOURSELF. If you find you are unable to contain your raisins or your vomit, then you should live by yourself or with someone who loves eating floor-raisins and bathing in puke. WHICH IS NO ONE.

Love,
Other Roommates and Kristin Russo of everyoneisgay.com 

I know that sounds harsh but like… talk to her about it, do what Dannielle said and make a chore chart, but if those things don’t succeed… she has to go. That is just. THAT IS. UGH.

“My girlfriend and my roommate don’t get along. They both bitch about the other to me and I feel stuck in the middle because I don’t want to lose or have an awkward situation with either.”

-Question submitted by Anonymous

Dannielle Says: 

I would literally tell them to stop bitching about each other to you. Because here’s the thing… they hate each other, whatever. That already makes me wary, for what reason? Doesn’t it make you feel weird that they’re both soooo against the other they can’t even be civil human beings?? Like… WHAT’S GOING ON, WHO IS ACTUALLY THAT MAD? 

Anyway, they can hate each other and roll their eyes when the other makes a joke or whatever WITHOUT involving you directly. The next time PAPERTOWELS (your girlfriend) starts to talk smack about PONYTAILS (your roomie) stop her and say ‘hey papertowels, i love you and i want you to be able to talk to me about stuff, but i really don’t wanna talk about ponytails. I just feel like nothing will really come of it, and she’s one of my good friends, so like, i’m not gonna say anything bad about her you know?”

This will prolly cause a tiny fight, but when it comes down to it, you’re not asking her to love your roomie, you’re just asking her to bitch a little less. AND DO THE SAME WITH YOUR ROOME ‘hey ponytails, i love papertowels and i’m not gonna talk shit about her..sooo’ you know what i mean? EASY PEASY. Do what you gotta do to keep your emotional well-being stable.. you are SUPER important.

Kristin Says:

This is ridiculous and it pisses me STRAIGHT OFF. I am now in a fight with both PAPERTOWELS and PONYTAILS and I would like to tell you, Anonymous, that I am mad at them and I think they are acting immature and stupid. So, now you have to deal with a new problem: PAPERTOWELS, PONYTAILS, AND KRISTIN all bitch to you about each other.

Seriously, though, the first thing that you should know is that this is a completely unfair situation that you are in - so feel justified for being angry and uncomfortable, because that is exactly  how I would feel as well.

I would tackle this with your roommate first, because I think that this is a space that you both share… so the responsibility is more on her to make it a comfortable living environment for you and the people who mean a lot to you (read: PAPERTOWELS). The next time she bitches, just ask her if there is anything that would make her experience in the apartment a bit more bearable, because you love PAPERTOWELS and she is going to be around, but if there is anything that can be done so that PONYTAILS is more comfortable, you are all ears.

Then, say very nicely, “It would mean a lot if we could get to a place where you are less upset with PAPERTOWELS, only because I live here and I care about her, and I just want all of us to be as content as possible.”

THEN, talk to your boo #papertowels and explain that you’ve been feeling really torn about the house conflict, and that you talked to your roommate #ponytails so that things would get a little easier. Tell her you care about her and love her and that if there is anything that could be better for her, you are ALL EARS, but that July is the month of peacemaking and you want to all work together toward INDEPENDENCE FROM YOUR CONFLICTS.

Eh? #IndependenceDayResolutions

“I woke up last night to my roommate having sex. She thought I was asleep. Initially, I was disgusted and now I’m just furious. She has no idea that she woke me. What the eff am I supposed to do?!?!”

-Question submitted by Anonymous

Dannielle Says: 

ain’t that a bitch. 

That shit straight pisses me off, too, I FEEL YOU. 

However, where else are they ‘spose to bone?

I would probably talk to her and be like ‘liiiiisten, i’m a light sleeper, i heard you boning, it was gross and i never want to experience it again…if you need to bone your boyf, just text me and say it so i can figure out something to do bc like that shit is nasty… ‘

Try not to be furious. I realize it’s RUDE AS FUCK, and if I were you I’d be furious, but you guys are already in a tiny space together ALL THE TIME you know?!?!! Being calm and cool and collected is key, bc you could be like ‘YOU WERE DOING IT AND IT WAS FUCKING REVOLTING AND I HATE YOU’ and then she’ll be like ‘whelp, guess i got stuck with the overreacting-bitchy roommate’ and you’ll feel bad years and years later when you realize you could have handled it differently. 

I can guarantee you this has happened to at LEAST 90% of college students. You should absolutely sit in a circle with your friends and rant about all of your roommates, but when it comes to layin down the law in your dorm room, do it without all the rage your feeling. 

Kristin Says:

Okay, Anonymous.  I feel you.  No one likes waking up in bonerville USA, and no one should ever have to wake up in bonerville USA.  However, let’s just devil’s advocate this situation for a hot second, okay?

Your roommate has her boo over and they are snuggling.  Then you allegedly fall asleep.  Boo kisses Roommate a little.  Roommate knows she probably shouldn’t bone with you right there, but her hormones are saying “IT ISN’T A BIG DEAL, SHE IS ASLEEP AND SHE WILL NEVER KNOW AS LONG AS I AM REAL QUIET, GO TO BONERVILLE!!” and she’s like…okay so I will just be really quiet, but then she is IN bonerville and she forgets that quiet actually means quiet, plus you aren’t even asleep, you are revolted…and presto blamo, here you are angry because that shit is pretty foul.

Right?

Right.

Perhaps that will take away a tiny bit of the rage you are feeling.  You shouldn’t look at this situation as though Roommate didn’t care at all about you, and that Roommate is just a total shithead, because she may just think you are a heavy sleeper and that she is being really quiet and that it isn’t a big deal.  I suggest, like Dannielle said, that you talk to her - and try to be as nice as possible.

Go over to her side of the room, playfully punch her in the shoulder and say, “HAHA REMEMBER WHEN YOU THOUGHT I WAS ASLEEP LAST NIGHT?! Wooooo-eeee, that was funny…” Then, when she is mortified and apologizes, just be like, “Hey listen, it’s no big thing because I know you thought I was asleep, but unfortunately for both of us I am a light sleeper.  BUT, fortunately for all of us, I am totally, 100000% cool with you being like, ‘hey, is it cool if i visit bonerville tonight?’ and me going to do my own thing so you can have your space.  cool?”

Ta-da!

Dannielle Says: 

I want everyone to know I almost just typed “Janet Says” … .and if I had it’d look like this

Janet Says:

mooooooooooow meoooooow maaaaaaaaao”

because she’s screaming for some reason. 

Did I tell you guys about the dream I had where I thought I was best friends with Christina Aguilera? And I kept calling her “Teeny Ags” ?? Bc like… that is the worst possible nickname you could have for a best friend. The only people in my life who have nicknames are my best friend amanda, whom I call ‘bestfriend’ my bff brynn, who i sometimes call ‘brenanny’ and if i’m trying about lauren zettler i call her ‘zet’ but like also… i guess sometimes i call my friend Kristine Thune, TeenyTuney… maybe that’s where it came from?

TEENY AGS?!?! What if people actually call Christina Aguilera, Teeny AGs…also WHY WAS CHRISTINA AGUILERA IN MY DREAM!?!? It must mean something. Maybe she loves everyoneisgay.com and the universe was trying to tell me… 

HEEEEY TEENY AGS. 

Kristin Says:

I JUST ALMOST DIED.

Not really, but please, please listen to what just happened to me in my bathroom.

So.  I was about to get into the shower, when I looked down and saw a gigantic centipede running around the base of the bathtub.  TYPICALLY, when there is a bug in the house I am capable of killing it, but like, a) I WAS NAKED and b) IT WAS SO BIG, so I screamed to the top of my lungs, “MEZI MEZI SOMEONE HELP ME MEEEEZZZZZIIIIIIIII.”

Please note: In our house we call centipede’s ‘mezis’ because they look like something out of the mesozoic era.

Anyway, my roommate heard my cries and came running and then we both screamed at it for about two minutes, and then I finally worked up the nerve to smush it (which of course made me scream even louder).  Then I took a few deep breaths, dismissed my roommate from the bathroom, and went to get back into the shower.  Before I stepped in, I felt an itch on my foot and of course panicked and thought, “WHAT IF ITS ANOTHER MEZI,” but then thought, “Silly Kristin, you are just paranoid.”  Then I looked down AND

THERE

WAS

A

MEZI

ON

MY

FUCKING

FOOT.

I literally screamed blood curdling murder and kicked it across the room and my roommate ran in and smushed it and then I made her stay in the bathroom with me while I showered because I was so terrified.

The end.

Look at it this way. You’re either going to totally love the shit out of your str8 roomie and talk to her about it or you’ll love your str8 roomie and not talk to her about it. 

If you DO talk to her about it, maybe she likes you back. ooooor she doesn’t like you back, and you guys decide to be friends and she won’t do anything to lead you on and everything is fine. ORRRRR she doesn’t like you and you’re too sad to be friends with her. 

If you DON’T talk to her, you’re like DOESSHELIKEME I CAN’T TELL IFSHELIKESME DOESSHELIKE ME. and you go crazy and your friend doesn’t know why and you guys are still cuddling and she’s like ‘I LOVE CUDDLING WITH YOU BEST FRIEND’ and you’re like WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN. 

but like…i, personally, think everyone needs to go through that once or twice in life. Sooooooo, which ever THING you decide to do, do it. and do it well. I support you. Just be aware of what you’re gettin’ into. 

holler.

Kristin Says:

Move out.
