I didn't do it

.. at least, I don't think so. But I'm starting to think that my uncanny ability to unwittingly rid myself of roommates is bordering on phenomenal. Let me demonstrate my recent transformation into the apartment black widow:

September 2008: LeaDawn gets engaged. Roommate #1 = gone

November 2008: I agree to move into American Manor apartments with Madison, a friend of mine from Scroll.

Early December 2008: Madison's health takes a turn for the worse, and she defers classes for winter semester. Roommate #2 = not anymore

Mid-December 2008: I agree to move to Royal Crest with my friend Chanae Wilson. A week later, she gets an internship. And engaged. Yep, both. Peace out, roommate #3.

Late-December 2008: Becky Leach (who was going to live with me and Chanae) also gets a little sparkler for Christmas. So long, roommate #4.

The moral of the story? If you're looking for a dramatic change in life, sign up to be my roommate. Major life changes guaranteed (satisfaction not guaranteed — see roommate #2).
