***Update: Doods! My site caught swine flu and was down all day yesterday. It should be up and running fine now- vaccinate your children!- but do me a solid and let me know if you notice anything wonky, mmmmmkay? Xoxo***
While watching Real World last night (the Cancun scenery serves as a constant reminder of the 10-times-more-gorgeous place I will be in two months)…
Costa Rica, you are seriously my life motto right now.
Anytwaddle, so a few of the roommates end up having a threesome in the bed next to a fourth sleeping roommate. And when she finds out the following morning, she is, as she so eloquently put it, “Totally weirded out”.
Me: Oh, that would totally freak me out too. Ick.
B: Why? It’s the same thing as if it happened in your college dorm.
Me: No no no. In college, you have rules! Socks on door knobs and such- you have to come to a prior understanding about the rules of shared-room sexin’.
B: No way. Freshman year, my roommate Dave came home with a girl. I was sitting up, wide awake, watching TV. He took one look at me and said, “Going to bed, B?” You better believe I said “Yup” and turned out the light. And then, a few minutes later, I heard her say “You’re roommate’s not asleep yet!”, so I did what any good friend would do… and began fake snoring.
Me: Well, okay. But that’s more dude code than anything else. That wouldn’t really happen with girls.
B: Why not? Girls need love too.
Me: I know, but A) we would probably have figured out some elaborate smoke signal system so we wouldn’t be in the room at the same time and B) no guy who’s about to bang would EVER care that her roommate was still awake.
B: Touché, my dear. Touché.
Thank god I’m not college anymore.

Let’s not forget those great bunk beds in college, too.
I never could decide which was worse—being on the bottom bunk and hearing all the business going on above or being in the top bunk and navigating fooling around with the ceiling so close and the floor so far away…
Little known fact: I was actually fortunate enough to only live in a dorm for one semester. FTW!!!
.-= Hannah´s last blog ..I want to live deliberately. =-.
Wow! Thank God I was a slacker and never went to college…lol!
Haha, that’s definitely one way to look at it!
B is a stand-up guy. I hope his college roommate did him a solid for the fake snoring.
I’m sure it went both ways, but that’s a story I don’t need to hear.

Okay, I have to share this HERE cause my wife reads my blog, so posting it there is out. It’s a shame too, cause it might have made a good TMI.
One time in the Navy (any story that starts like that is gotta be good), I had my girlfriend in my barracks room. Our barracks were acutally like apartments, with 2 guys to a room. Anyway, my roommate was out at the time. I was pretty sure he went home to Mississippi for the weekend. So, I sneaked my lady friend up to the room (sneaked cause we weren’t supposed to have ladies in our rooms), and we began enjoying the evening…..i.e..gettin freakylicious. About halfway through (which I’d like to claim was 30 minutes in, but was probably more like 2.6 seconds), in walkad my roommate, while she was on top. As soon as I heard the lock on the door, I paniced and started bucking like a rodeo bull. She flew off her mount and got wedged down beside the bed and the wall. Poor thing, even though she didn’t hang on the required 8 seconds, she still deserved a big shiny belt buckle for that tumble. Anyway, my roommate then decides to sit down and have a talk while said lady friend is stuck down there (possibly critically injuried). Finally, he leaves to drop the kids at the pool. I immediately check on her to see if shes still breathing, or if I am going to need a shovel and some black garbage bags. Thankfully, she was okay, but I had to move the bed to get her out. She actually found it all quite amusing.
Moral of the story, make sure you use a signal of some kind.
Even sadder truth, I have lots of stories like this.
Hahaha! These stories are what anonymous blogs are for…
.-= Ed Adams´s last blog ..Why do these always make me laugh? =-.
ahhh yes.. the fake snore…
Memories…
Yup. You two are gonna get along juuuust fine.
Another facet of the US college experience that I had NO idea about until 3 mins ago. I’ve always wished I could have stayed in a dorm, but now? Not so much lol
I know. Sometimes I think I missed out on something, and then I remember shiz like this…
…HOW do you sleep with people having sex like mere feet away?!
DOES NOT COMPUTE.
(Again…Mother Theresa of the Gays talking here)
I’m with you. But you are on our side, really, after all…
.-= Ben´s last blog ..We need to come together as a global community. =-.
Oh gosh, Real World: Cancun is a definite guilty pleasure. All of the roommates irk the hell out of me, but I can’t stop watching because I’ve already wasted an hour of my life every Wednesday for the past few weeks, soooooo may as well finish!
I just couldn’t stand how they (as in, the two girls) were talking about the threesome like they just killed a man or something. Doom doom doom. Gloom gloom gloom. I get that your family is going to be pissed at you, but you know what? It happened, cry about it, then get over it. Stop whining. UGGGGHHH! I had to get that out.
And if someone were having sex in a bed right next to me… if there was no room to escape, I’d just fake sleep, too… which would probably turn into real sleep. Just sleep. Maybe, maybe not. I dunno. I’ve never been in that situation, haha
I’m with you. Though I do think it’s kind of hilarious that in 50 seasons of the Real World, this is the first time I’ve ever heard anyone wonder about what their family might think.
.-= Britt´s last blog ..Darling Daughter Diaries…Vol. 2 =-.
My roommate and I used to do the ‘fake sleeping’ thing, too.
But we’d always put a signal out first if we knew it was going to happen so we could put the mirror-attached-to-stick on the correct bed.
Now..my story…
I was once banging a chick in college when I happened to glance out the window and said ‘stick mirror’ was being raised up from the room below mine.
I have good friends.
I think I need an MS Paint stick drawing to go along with this.
.-= moooooog35´s last blog ..Motivational Filler – Panic =-.
That sounds like a nightmare! Mind you, I lived at home when i went to uni, which wasn’t much better. Good thing I wasn’t exactly sexually active back then…
That would be way, WAY worse.
.-= Paula´s last blog ..THE THIGH’S THE LIMIT . . . =-.
I’m so happy I never had roommates! LOL
Roommates are one thing. SAME ROOM roommates are a whole new ball game.
Hahahhaaa! Fake snoring!
I hope you guys will have your own room in Cancun so none of these type hijinks ensue.
Costa Rica. WAY better. And definitely no sharing.
i walked into my room freshman year to see my roommate and a burly redhead on the futon, just in time to hear him mumble, “so, baby, do you want to be the big spoon or the little spoon?”
memories.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Hehehehe, yes, it’s different for men and women !
I recently blogged about the country-house party I went to with Lolita and her ex-FWB Ari .. Well, Lolita and I shared a room with 2 single beds. She and I were both about to fall asleep when Ari came into the room, dropped his shorts, took off his shoes and went directly into her bed (thank God it wasn’t my bed, lol). They started (what I can only assume was) kissing and fooling around .. about 4 feet away from me. I was definetly “weirded out” and considered leaving the room but that would’ve involved passing by “their” bed.. so I tried my hardest and managed to fall asleep, thank the Baby Jebus. Lolita swears they left the bedroom for the more gruesome action ! lol
Oh, she’s lying. You KNOW she’s lying.
Hey! Until you posted this picture, I never realized that this “B” that you’re dating is actually Ryan from “The Office!” Nice catch!
Hahaha! Yet another reason he should be 3 Hole Punch Jim for Halloween. Maxie and I have been trying to convince him for weeks.
I’m glad your site is back up. I missed it in my morning routine.
Boys are just shameless in every way shape and form.
It missed you, too.
i am ashamed to admit it but i’m a girl, i had 2 girl roommates my freshman year and we had NO such code. it was every man for himself. usually i’d leave the room once i heard someone start getting it on, either out of respect or disgust. but our unspoken code was pretty much do what you gotta’ do and if you don’t like it leave.
did i mention one of my roommates was the devil??
I think if you don’t have one devil roommate in your life, you haven’t really lived.
I totally boned someone on our couch in college…don’t tell.
I’ll take it to the e-grave.
I’m SO happy to be done with college. Fun at the time, but stupid things happened!
I try to forget most of those things. Except when I’m drunk and telling college war stories..
sadness that Real World has gone sooo down hill. but i still ADORE the RW/RR challenges like the Duel etc. I am so excited for the new one with the love “pentagon”…*dreamy sigh*
I know not about this, but I am that much more excited for it now!
B is a genius. A pure genius. I personally wouldn’t have just fake snored, every now and then I’d have let out a fart. I mean, you can’t help farting in your sleep can you?!
Somehow, I think that might have ruined just a little of the ambiance.
Yay! Your site is back up! I was worried for a few hours there!
I guess my college roommate got finger bang banged while I was sleeping in the room and I didn’t know it. That was bad enough finding that out. Ew.
Now I’m going to be singing the “Finger Bang Bang You” song from South Park. If you don’t know what I’m talking about search for it b/c you’ve got to see it.
xoxo
Oh, man. Googling now… Xoxo!
Guys are seriously nasty. I shut my ears when my dude’s friends talk about their college years. ICK. And Costa Rica is the best!!!
I know. I seriously CANNOTWAIT.
Oh lord, I feel like I could write a book just on college roommate stories like this. My freshman year roommate (who later got kicked out of school) rotated a different boy into the bottom bunk every night. A few times she was kind (!!) enough to lock me out of the room first.
I didn’t even think about that! I suppose boning in the room- unlocked- is almost a gift then, isn’t it??
You guys are sooooo cute in that picture:)
Oh, and gross.
Thank you, my dear.
I missed all the fun stuff! I went to fashion school…bitches and gays. So therefore, bitches and bitches.
Ummm…you guys look like an addy for Contiki in that picture, kinda love it a lot!
Drunk = contiki?
i realize i live a very boring life…
No… you just DON’T live on the Real World. Be glad of it!
i think i’d love to be a fly on the wall
during yours and B’s convo.
invite me over…thanks.
Housewarming this Friday…
OMG. That is totally a guy thing. I can’t even imagine the horror of having to hear one of my old roommates having sex! That is more than I could handle.
Actually, in one house I lived in with four girls, we used to gather at the vents of each other’s rooms when someone was getting it on and giggle. Ahhh, college.
A girl and I once went at it on the futon under her roommate’s loft while the roommate was snoozing blissfully away. We were quiet, but not that quiet and I always wondered how we didn’t wake her up. Found out later the roommate had taken a little something to help her sleep. Something about cramps. Thank the baby jebus this was before they all got synched up.
HA. See? Drugs are good, kids!
That is so completely fucked up. Even at my sluttiest there is no way I would have had sex with a roommate in the room. Maybe it’s a generational thing. I feel old.
Like I said… it’s a dude thing. (Mostly.)
In college, I only had sex while songs like Counting Crows’ “Colorblind” were on in the background. So I never had sex with a roommate in the room. There’s no way I could admit that to a roommate. So I told the whole internet.
I’m twittering this.
I”m pretty sure I was passed out many nights while my roommates got it on.
In our house, my one roommate was so loud the walls were vibrating and my other roommate (1 of 8 ) ran in because she thought someone was breaking in.
Nope, just my friend working it out upstairs and shaking the whole 100 year old house. 3 floors mind you.
Perhaps she had some “assistance”, too… per the vibrating?
You gotta do what you gotta do in college, but after graduation…there are rules people!
Truth. Although hopefully you’re not sharing bedrooms after college… ick.
I should probably post this as part of TMI Thursday, but it seems better here. My freshman year asshole roommate brought a girl back to the room one night (well, many nights, but I’m just bringing up one story). They went to sleep, but at some point in the middle of the night, they started getting it on. Did I mention that he was on the button of a bunk bed while I was on the top bunk? Yes, I had to pretend that I was still asleep as well.
Bunk beds bring a whole new element to this particular problem…
Umm… thank goodness I had my own room in college. (The walls were thin enough, thank you. haha)
Thin walls make it kind of funny. After all, there’s no chance of splatter.
Yeah, my roommates and I never did that shit to each other. Not once. And when my female friends did have sex in the room with someone else present? It was always in the guy’s room. I’d definitely be weirded out.
Glad your site is back up! I missed it today.
It missed you too, my dear!
Thank God I never lived in the dorms!
I’m with you, lady friend.
we had scrunchie code, but i never had to use it.
*it was a slowwwwww 4 years*
but i did make out with my gay theatre friend during a rousing game of spin the bottle.
Hahahaha! Oh, I’m sorry, but that is hilarious.
I haven’t thought about this in ages. My roommate from junior year used to come back to our room with her girlfriend almost every night after I was asleep. I’d hear them come in and I could tell they were doing something or other but they were pretty quiet so I’d just go back to sleep. It didn’t really faze me. I think I’d be more bugged by it now than I was back then.
Such is college, I suppose.
See, this kinda makes me nostalgic for the amusements of college life. Supportive roommates were the best.
I miss the amusements… not the sexing in a twin bed, though.
I watch the Real World too! I thought the one they kicked out was hot; annoying as all hell but really good looking.
They totally made a big fuss out of the threesome. The roomie didn’t even know that they had a threesome until someone confronted her about it.
Sure, but there is NO WAY the producers weren’t going to let her find out about it.
My college is near my place and its not compulsory for us to stay in the hostels, so I guess I’m spared being “wierded out” by any such going ons
Lucky!
i forever had roommates who were violated all kinds of girl codes by trying to sneak boys into the room while they thought i was sleeping. as though a) i slept lightly and b) i wouldn’t notice a third entity breathing/existing in our little 2×2 corner of the world.
.-= jasmine´s last blog ..you don’t know about a girl =-.
We don’t care if the roomie is awake… juggling chainsaws, breeding scorpions and giving her parents a tour of the room.
.-= Peter´s last blog ..i either like this one, or it sucks a lot. perhaps both. =-.
I watched that episode and couldn’t believe that bitchy Emily girl got offended by it. YOU’RE ON THE REAL WORLD. THREESOMES HAPPEN (wait, is that a slogan?)
Looks like in the finale, she might have a threesome of her own.
She should do it ON TOP of Jonna, or whatever the hell her name is.

Well, I like all the dudes! Please tell me it’s one of the guys…
That really is disgusting, I feel weirded out if people have sex in the same room. LOL.
Although, you know that my ex banged my former best friend in a bed right next to me? Ew.

Oh god, college. My best friend and I were AMAZED that we made it through four years of living together in one-room doubles and only had like two accidental walk-ins. It’s so weird how in-stride you take weird sex in college. Like it’s totally normal when you’re trying to get to bed for someone to be having crazy-bragging-loud sex on any given side of your tiny room.
Then again, you’d think life would be better in apartments, but just last night I was kept awake by a couple having sex on a picnic table in the courtyard of my apartment building. I kind of wanted to go outside and applaud.
