I have lived with a lot of different people in my life. Couples, bands, best friends(male and female)and strangers. Here are a few things that I have learned.

1.Don't bottle things up until you freak out.
Just try to talk to them the way you want them to
talk to you
2. Pick your battles.
Is this really bad or am I just bitchy right now?
3. Compromise
You do the dishes this week I'll do them next week.
If my boyfriend stays over a lot maybe we'll make
him do the dishes.
4. Don't write notes about important things.
They are the bullshit weenie way out.
If you can't say it to their face maybe you
shouldn't be saying it at all.
5. Money matters
It's hard enough to stress about their own bills
don't make them stress about yours. Be on time.
My best and current roomie does the bills on the
15th of the month.She tells me what they are and
gives me until the 20th to pay her. Same thing
every month. She lets me know when bigger bills are
coming ( the water bill for example ) so I can plan
ahead.
I guess the most important thing I have learned is to be flexible.Oh yeah and if you live with a band...buy earplugs!
