not drinking or kissing fine. The braids, overalls and tigger would, however, point to someone who is in massive arrested development. Even as friends, I’m wary of people who still think and dress like 5 year olds.

I wanted to punch you MVWR after reading the first paragraph.What an irritating, pig-tailed, denim clad nuisance!

You’re a saint to have tolerated her for as long as you did!

Layla hit it nail on the head.

I’m inclined to agree with Layla. If she had those traits, but instead didn’t lie to her parents or didn’t get weird ideas about the submitter killing her, she’d be an unusual but perfectly tolerable roommate.

@plmno: I think the no drinking & no kissing details were just thrown in to give a more complete picture of this girl. On their own, these traits seem very admirable, particularly for a college freshman. The fact that they are combined with the wardrobe, Tigger obsession, and irrational fear of things that go bump in the night gives me the impression that this lady has been sheltered so much that her emotional development has been stunted.

My first college roommate was a dance major and she was very much a drinker, did a lot ,more than kissing, and was an absolute slob. Luckily she was gone most of the time, but when she was there, she aggravated me.

She sounds positively delightful.

This was a pretty good one. I just have an issue with this part: “After returning from a weekend of finding out that MVWR didn’t drink, had never kissed anyone, was a modern dance major, loved Tigger, and wore overalls every day”

I get why the overalls everyday and the Tigger thing are enough to scare people. But not drinking, not kissing, and being a dance major don’t strike me as particularly odd. I went to a school with lots of dance majors, and the not drinking, not kissing thing could be quite common as long as the person came from a religious background, or hell, just didn’t like alcohol and was a shy person.

I don’t really believe in people whoring it up and engaging in underage drinking just to fit in.
