Roommate and I

Oh God.

Me: "What should I write about?!"
Roommate: "I don't know! Write about how weird weeks are."
Me: "I'm going to write about our weird-ass relationship."
Roommate: "Don't call it a relationship."
Me: "That's what it is!"
Roommate: "It's a friendship!... When I said 'friendship' just now, I imagined a ship with a flag that said 'friends' on it."

Anyway, Roommate and I have a pretty strange relationship. Let me fill you in on just how strange we are. Let's start at the top.

We are all of the following:
- High school best friends
- Roommates
- Dating brothers
- Future sisters (hopefully =])

Let's elaborate.
- Roommate and I met the first day of high school. Though we were almost complete opposites, we had the exact same class schedule, so we quickly became friends in school. After we started really talking, it turned out that we had the same sense of humor, which I guess is all that really matters, right? After that, high school became one giant fit of laughter for the two of us. We've been best friends ever since stupid health class, Freshman year.

- Summer between Junior and Senior year, Roommate decided that she didn't want to attend any kind of university, but that she'd probably just go to community college because she didn't like school very much. I half-jokingly told her that she should go to college with me and be my roommate. Here we are.

- This Guy and I started dating my Sophomore year (his Senior year) and we've been together for two and a half years now. His brother is a couple years older than him and hadn't had much luck with girls. Even though Roommate had a boyfriend by the time I got to know a little bit about This Guy's Brother, I managed to make them date each other eventually. They met on their own at a party, but I had basically been pushing the idea on her for many months prior. They've almost been dating a year now.

- Someday, maybe, I'll marry This Guy and Roommate will marry This Guy's Brother and we'll all be one happy, weird, family. We talk about it like it's the craziest thing ever (because it is). Our children will be cousins. I'll be her children's aunt. How fucking strange is that?

Anyway, I just thought I should enlighten you guys a little bit. That's just the surface of it all, I guess. I mean, you'd have to spend a lot of time with us to understand the special relationship we have. Gay, I know. Let me end by quoting Roommate a few months ago.

"You wanna hear the gayest thing ever? It's nice that after all this time we can still make each other laugh like we did Freshman year."
