…and by that I mean that I just can’t make up my mind. Not long after Will moved in, I decided I didn’t want another roommate after him. Not that I have any problem with Will at all, it just felt right when it was just me and Ryan here—though it was really only a short week. Having someone else move in just feels…like we’re a hotel or something. It’s our place, Will’s just staying here. I guess that’s a good way to put it.
I’m so back and forth though. Not having a roommate would add $150 to my monthly bills.
With a roommate, I’m constantly pausing whatever I’m watching when he walks into the room. I have NO idea why.
The apartment is so quiet when Ryan is gone. Sometimes I like that, and sometimes it just feels really lonely. I’m not sure which I lean more towards, and even still, Will and I don’t really have the kind of friendship that makes much of a difference.
And then again, with a roommate I’m subjected to more unwanted visitors. I never know who I might find here….on my couch or even in my shower….
On that same note, without a roommate I’d probably be dangerously close to being considered a recluse.
With no one here, I could light some candles, and take a hot bath with the door open. I used to love doing that…I like having the door open so I can have light on somewhere close by so there’s just enough filtering in. It’d be perfect here. Our bedroom door is across from the bathroom door so if I had the closet light on, it’d be the perfect mate for candlelight.
I don’t know. I mean, of course it isn’t anything I have to decide right now, but it’s certainly my decision. Ryan doesn’t care either way. With a roommate he pays $150 less a month, without a roommate, he could have an office in the other bedroom. He’s happy with either setup. As far as I know, Will isn’t going anywhere any time soon, but that’s really not a definite. That greatly depends on his job situation, so I’d like to figure out how I feel on the matter, ya know?
I really thought I knew, but these past two nights with Ryan and Will both gone, it’s almost uncomfortably quiet. Not sure how I feel about that.

Maybe, when Will does move out, you could just keep it the two of you for a month. After the month, evaluate. Worst case? You decide you don’t like it and get another roommate. Best case? You like it, and there you have it.
