Would You Pay To Live with Me?
Just imagine living in the kingdom of Nathan Exposed…
I was cautious about doing it, but I’ve rented out the two spare bedrooms in my house to roommates. By the way, I’ve never had roommates.
Wearing clothes in the house has been an adjustment. I must confess that I have a habit of walking around in nothing but a t-shirt and a tiny pair of underwear. (Briefs, in case you were wondering… Something has to keep these low hangers in check.)
I haven’t quite figured out my persona yet. What kind of roommate do I want to be? Hmmm… Actually, I’m a roommate and a landlord. Oh, the power!
I’ve tried to think back to all the douchey things landlords have done to me over the years. I definitely don’t want to be one of those. Afterall, you never forget them. I couldn’t stand the thought of being that guy.
One of my roommates has a cat. I don’t understand it at all. The cat is terrified of me and doesn’t want anything to do with me. But get this… The cat tore a hole in the bottom of my box springs and crawled inside. At first, I was confused when my bed started hissing at me.
Why does this cat like living in my bedroom if he’s scared? My cats were on the bed while the roommate’s cat camped out underneath for something like 10 hours. Maybe it’s a love/hate relationship with me.
Well, I need to sign off. My nose is very runny and I’m dripping on my cat, who is snuggled up in my lap. Who needs tissues? Her fur is so absorbent.

Nathan…..so glad you’re O.K. Roommates….I have never had any success. My first roommate was a very good friend of mine….an Army officer. He was great to have around except one thing…he ate my food. After repeated conversations I had to resort to the crazy notion of taping the refrigerator shelves in half! One evening I needed some milk, only to discover he finished it off! Pissed doesn’t describe my emotion. After a violent conversation, it got physical…I won. He never touched any food again. I had another roommate who tried to gas himself in the oven….fool….the gas mixture would never “off” someone. And the list goes on….I certainly hope you have more luck than I…..Joe
Nathan…..cats! I don’t get them. They’re aloof and sneaky and depending on the breed (Persians in particular) have that perpetual “pissed-off” look. Additionally, I’m allergic. You know there is truth that a cat always seems to approach the allergic person in a room full of people. Reason? When a cat enters a room of strangers it realizes that you have entered it’s domain and is going to check you out. A non-allergic person will reach for the cat and subsequently the cat will withdraw…..an allergic person will withdraw and not reach for the cat….therefore, the cat feels it will have permission to check you out. So my advice….don’t reach for the cat. In time,”Pussy” will come to you…..Joe
Nathan….the biggest compromise to roommates is loosing your most valued privacy……ughh!…..Joe
Yes, I would pay to live with you. It would be totally worth it to have Nathan Entertainment at my disposal 24/7.
And it would really cut down on my phone bill!
Very nice to see you around again.
Roomates, no thanks unless absolutely necessary. And then, I’d have such a long list of rules that they wouldn’t want to live with me. Pets, smoking, drinking, drugs, noise, stereos, cleanliness, etc etc would all be issues.
i hate having roommates, if it weren’t for my debilitating fear of loneliness i would have killed them a long time ago.
Nathan….Do you accept credit cards?
Yes, I would pay to live with you. It would be cheaper than therapy, and less awkward than moving back in with the ex.
I don’t know that I would have to pay to live with you. I’m kinda a catch.
