It has been said that most comedy is based on the misfortunes of others, i.e. things that are funny happening to others but wouldn't be funny if they happened to you.

Fortunately, I never had to deal with roomates, inconsiderate or otherwise. Both the colleges I attended were within easy commuting distance of my home.

By the bye, Emmy, you didn't miss the Writer's Workshop. I am planning to kick things off with my "keynote address" on Saturday afternoon; but, being a blog-based affair, punctuality won't be important. I sincerely hope you will see fit to join us--I've seen some of your writing, and I think the Workshop would be better with you than without you. See my User page for details.
