So living with someone is always a stretch in learning to play nice with others. We all do things to irritate each other, we all have habits, debris, and gestures that have the potential to drive some other person on the planet absolutely bonkers. Here is the list I've compiled so far on my sister.
-headphones in the bathroom for the big jobs. We have one bathroom at Case de Ava so when she camps out in there and I hear her humming along to her favorite tune on the ipod, it bugs me. I want her to get the job done and let the air clear and the seat cool.
-something about the way she sits on the couch. I have well established indentations on the rug where the couch goes. I don't know what she does, but the sectional is not even along the back and that bothers me. I know, I know, this post deepens the mystery of how in the world I haven't been snatched up. I'm such a catch.
-the way she says 'yes.' I first noticed it on the drive home and finally asked her wtf was going on with the way she says that word. She said she got it from Flight of the Conchords. I thought they were hilarious before they brought that irritating affectation into my life.
-I have to make rules like no unclothed asses on the couch.
-we have to bargain and barter to arrange the surrender of underwear that have to be tied on.
-she stores clean clothes in a laundry basket and then puts dirty clothing on top.
-she uses 2-4 glasses a day and sometimes leaves a glass 1/3 full in the refrigerator.
-my hair is short right now. Her hair is long and all over the shower.
-she walked in today wearing a pair of my shoes with no socks. They are her shoes now.
-her booty shorts. She was telling me a story about how she hadn't managed to learn the buses yet because she was waiting for one and some guy said something weird to her. I asked if she was wearing the booty shorts. She was. I hate those awful things.

so i know these things are annoying to you, but i felt pretty entertained reading them.
but only because it's not happening to me.
i've never lived with someone i wasn't sleeping with, so i can only imagine what you're going through.
hopefully it'll get better after some time.
Pretty funny stuff. And, well, I dont wanna wrankle (is that a word?) any feathers but, let's not dismiss the booty shorts just yet. In regards to your sis--fine, if it'd make you feel better. But lets not throw out the baby with the bathwater. Booty shorts and summer...there's a time and a place for 'em is all Im saying.
